▷ DOWN TIME / NETWORK MINGLE #2

▶ DOWN TIME.

As Outsiders make themselves comfortable back on MAIN BASE, they will be informed of a reward for their great efforts. A pizza party will be held sometime after the kaiju fight and before a Valentine's party. All it really contains is pizza being served in the cafeteria along with the following streamers with balloons:

GOOD JOB:
TOP KNOT (K.O)
HAT GUY (294)
SNOWMOON (292)

Those who do you attend the party will still get this message as a marquee text along their ocular device. Characters CAN take this message off, but it's a bit complex. Try under General > Settings > Notifications > Messages > Texts > Alerts > Appearance > End Battle Notifications > OFF. Hopefully you won't miss something exciting by doing this. The marquee will disappear a week after the kaiju fight.

▶ CHOCOLATES.


On the day of February 14th, every Outsider will find that there is a box (or several) of chocolate. As soon as their eyes fall on them, their oculars will automatically generate a message, almost as if it were a mission debrief:

█ █ █ MISSION OBJECTIVE:
✖ Hand out all chocolate before end of day.
✖ Failure to comply will be grounds for disciplinary action.

It's unknown who the order has come from, but those who don't hand out chocolates by the end of the day, will find that the very next morning, they are confined to their room for a full 24 hours.

During the duration of the holiday, Outsiders will see a tiny number in the corner of their oculars, which notates how many chocolates they have left to give. This number may also not move unless the chocolates are delivered with enough good will. Maybe add in a word of gratitude, a flirty comment or two, or even a fake confession if you're bold enough.

HOW TO PLAY: Feel free to use this post to play around with these prompts, or start your own logs (both are completely okay)!

NOTE: Everyone is free to decide how many chocolate boxes they were given and how stubborn SYNTHIA is in moving their count down. It can also be assumed that SYNTHIA will be encouraging and guiding Outsiders to complete this mini-mission.



▶ SYNDER.

Although ocular & brain implants are the means of communication nowadays, a messenger service still exists in this world. Mostly everyone uses LINE nowadays even if the need for cellular phones is null. Characters may have already recognized the interface to be somewhat familiar with the similar shade of green and same old slogan.

This time, a new extension appears on the LINE interface. It's something called SYNDER? Outsiders who are curious may investigate this program will see that it has already filled out a dating profile for them. This profile is only visible to Outsiders and not the LILITH crew or any civilians. Outsiders MUST change their dating profile to what they would like or delete it... those who are too slow to change or delete their profile may get an embarrassing profile already filled out for them. Once someone responds to their bio, there's no changing it for the rest of the month! So make sure you check out and see what the system programmed for you.

"The system is updating …

...

The system is updating … Wait.. SEOK DANG, what the █ █ █ did you do?"

Not long after that, another message runs across the screen.

"Hahaha, it was such a shame we had to fight that big whale bitch around this time of year! Love is in the air, so get loving! It might be the last time you get to do it, who knows! Okay, gang, don't tell the Commander or Captain about this. They're kinda serious biz but I really think we all could use some stress relief, right? Fill out this profile below and get minglin'! Or don't. It'll probably do it for you if you don't put SOMETHING though."

Welcome to our second Network Mingle! This is a Tinder mingle; a new application that SEOK DANG has installed into everyone's implants. It's taken a lot of tweaking and hacking behind the rest of the LILITH crew's backs. Seems like the only person on staff who is interested in seeing Outsiders get some is SD himself. These messages are encrypted from the LILITH crew ... besides SD because he's a nosy bastard. Sounds fun.

HOW TO PLAY:
1. In observation of Valentine's Day, this month's text meme is a dating profile! Pick the textarea that is under your TEAM NAME and fill out the spaces.
2. You can write the bio in character or as if Synder programmed their bio for them.
3. Body count can be confusing... even the automatic system doesn't know what that means! Does it mean how many people you have fucked or how many people you have killed? Or both?
4. PROFIT!
5. Special shout out to Roc for giving us this event suggestion!

Participation in this mingle isn’t obligatory, of course. If you don’t want your character to participate, you can simply assume the glitch did not affect them.

We also have a code below for fun, but please don't feel pressured to use it. As always, a regular text thread works out just fine! Most importantly, have fun! All tags on this mingle will count for 2 points each.

(Please remember to put warnings for NSFW/triggering content in the subject header.)

36 / M / Brimstone #005
HEIGHT: 188cm
BODY COUNT: █ERR█oR█
IDEAL DATE: Anything where the other person pays.

AUTO-GENERATED:

ANALYZING. . . 100%.
Occupation: Professional Assassin: "SORCERER KILLER." 99.5kg of muscle. Enhanced physical strength, speed, senses and endurance. Cursed energy: 0. 17.2cm length, 13.9cm circumference. Likes offal. Dislikes alcohol. Widowed. Father of one. Keeps a "cursed spirit" in his stomach.

▶ CHOCOLATES

_{[ Throughout any of this nonsense, you can come across Toji hanging around the main base commons area, the cafeteria or maybe even the Brimstone wing.. eating all of the chocolate he was given to hand out to others for himself. He knows his actions have consequences and doesn't seem to care. Other than that, he might try to bribe someone passing by: ]}

Hey. Lemme have'em.

_{[ It doesn't have to mean anything.. right? Maybe that is a memo he didn't read. He just loves free things and considers this a business transaction. ]}

in which Toji is the chocolate guy from Spongebob?

[yormama]

[ Yor's had every intention of just heading off-base and giving the candy away for work or, well, just to passers-by in the city proper. But upon seeing a familiar face, she comes to a sudden stop, foot in the air before she puts it back down after a second. ]

Oh, Toji! You'll take some? [ She brightens up a bit and holds up the stack of boxes. Five in total. ] Wonderful! How many would you like?

yes

[assassinsgreed]

All for me?

_{[ Typically, Toji would let himself be greedy without question, but he's realizing very quickly that Yor is.. kind of a blockhead. It's part of her charm somehow, though. It makes him act a little generous around her. ]}

'Cause I'll take them.

_{[ dude is gonna end up with such a tummy ache.. ]}

[yormama]

All of them?

[ Not gonna lie, she's 100% expecting him to just tear open the boxes and upend them into his gullet. Literally the first image her mind conjures up. ]

You sure you don't want to drink something with that? That much chocolate might make you sick.

1/2

[assassinsgreed]

_{[ hold on, he is scheming.. ]}

[assassinsgreed]

You’re right. I have a hard time really controlling myself when it comes to chocolate. Maybe if someone fed them to me I could eat it at a manageable pace.

_{[ Oh, his hand is settling on the small of her back like he’s done before and he’s.. kind of guiding her towards the nearest commons area two person seat. ]}

Want to help me out with that, Yor-chan? ♡

bastard to bastard communication time (chocolate.)

[domitrix]

No.

( well. )

Not if you're going to ask like that.

( and while she doesn't flick him on the nose.. it's tempting. she definitely looks like she's considering it. )

Though I am surprised you haven't just been swiping them.

( <- woman who watched him take off of other people's trays at the cafeteria her first week here. )

my favorite communication time

[assassinsgreed]

_{[ Every time he has an interaction with this woman, he's always left with some kind of questions. it's because mihoyo doesn't have enough info for her. But, because of that, he becomes more and more curious about her each time. ]}

Please. I would never do such a thing. Look at me.

_{[ look at him, 6 foot 2 with bags under his eyes and scars all over his body. Absolutely an honest person. ]}

I don't beg. I think we went through this before.

_{[ and they were both tops. ]}

[domitrix]

( and look she does. her quick sweep of his form ends with a soft chuckle. one has to wonder if the cut on his lip is from impertinence. )

Don't know how to? I could teach you.

( .........? )

Even I know how, and I can do it very well if I put my mind to it.

( could she actually? maybe. )

combobreaker

[wheft]

[ ugh, does she have to? fiiiiiine. ]

❤

Huh.

I'm surprised you don't like alcohol.

[ let's uh... let's tackle this one by one. ]

[assassinsgreed]

remember my body is special, right?
can't get drunk
so what's the point

[wheft]

Too bad. Sounds like you missed out on a lot.

[ she likes alcohol so she's like :/ ]

Another thing. You never mentioned you have a son till now.

1/2

[assassinsgreed]

ohhhhh yeah
guess i do

2/2

[assassinsgreed]

i have a daughter too
i think

step daughter

or something

_{[ fuck is he technically still married, he doesn’t know… the wedding band came off when he didn’t see Tsumiki’s mom for months… ]}

[plagiarists]

❤

i call bullshit, your cursed energy is over 9000

[ Watch hsy being bissfully unaware of how jjk works. ]

[assassinsgreed]

_{[ Toji was asleep when this thing automated a bio for him, so like ??? What even is this app. ]}

what
it's too early to deal with you right now

[plagiarists]

also there's a naked chick wandering around the base
some glitch in lilith tech or something
you don't have to thank me

[ Sounds 100% legit... ]

[assassinsgreed]

_{[ cricket chirp … ]}

i don’t spy on women like that

you’re seriously trying to deflect now, huh? ill never figure you out i don’t think

✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖

[seaurchin]

Ugh.

[assassinsgreed]

what’s wrong with you

[seaurchin]

It wouldn't let me close the page without responding.

I wish I didn't have to see you here.

1/2

[assassinsgreed]

then leave

_{[ it’s not like he wrote any of this anyway.. ]}

Chocolates...

[problemagus]

( So that's the father, huh? When Toji approaches, he's greeted by a pair of stormy eyes, and a placid expression that gives little indication he's affected by his presence at all. Only acknowledging him when he lifts his head upwards to look at the quite enormous man. )

That'll be 500 kryptos.

( Is he selling these things??? Really???? )

[assassinsgreed]

_{[ Instantly, Toji makes face. ]}

For money? That’s not how it is supposed to go. I’m only taking them if they’re free.

I have better things to spend my money on.

[problemagus]

( Mmmm yep, that's about what he expected. )

Join the party, tovarish. So long as we exist in a society that upholds capitalistic values, someone always has to pay.

( For him, this is a completely neutral statement. It's not an endorsement of the system by far, just a realistic one. )

Unless you have a solution to dismantle the system, anyway.

( Why is he like this??? )
