β–Ά DOWN TIME / NETWORK MINGLE #2

β–· DOWN TIME / NETWORK MINGLE #2


β–Ά 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.

β–Ά 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:

β–ˆ β–ˆ β–ˆ MISSION OBJECTIVE:
βœ– Hand out all chocolate before end of day.
βœ– 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.



β–Ά 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 β–ˆ β–ˆ β–ˆ 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.)

So you're not serious about being someone's pet? Okay.

[ sorry izou, you just made this too easy.

thankfully, it's not as clear he's completely expressionless even when sending these messages.
] Is that your way of trying to persuade me? It's going to take more than that. Let's just say you're right if that'll make you feel better.

( he can't dodge the pet thing... looks up. )

gah
i'm not into that shit
being owned... people toyin' with me and tellin' me what to do
i'm never gonna put up with bein' used for someone's gain again
but, whatever
forget it


( will it make him feel better? no. but he's not in the mood to argue any further. )

[personal profile] yuwon 2024-02-17 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ i couldn't commit...

i'm a coward. but, yuwon is definitely thinking it (iykyk). enough where it's miraculous it doesn't end up sending as a message. there's a part of him that wants to type one final thing and weasel in the last word, but.
] You're the one who brought it up. [ sigh,

but, the wording is a bit interesting.
] Then don't. [ isn't it just that simple? ] Are you always so honest?

[ just like a dog he wants to say, but... ]

( it's all good... i saw it. it's etched in my vision forever.

and it's true, he brought this up himself when prompted about his "profile". izou, who isn't sure what he wants or needs from yuwon, really, just reacting with that hostility on impulse... β€”he shouldn't want anything. )


better honest than sly
folks waste time refusin' to say what they wanna say
as if bein' cryptic or whatever makes ya look smarter

[personal profile] yuwon 2024-02-20 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Being honest and hiding your hand are two different things. Not to say that you necessarily need to do either. I don't consider myself a calculating person, either. [ or, he used to think that at one point in time. now that he's regressed, he supposed he could appear that way from the outside looking in. ]

Are you talking about anyone specific? This sounds... personal.
hitokiller: id: aruchagos7180 (pic#16862466)

[personal profile] hitokiller 2024-02-21 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
no

( yes. )

you sure you ain't the least bit calculatin' though
what with that body count


( now that he's taken the time to look at yuwon's profile... 1,000 in one night? the hell. )
yuwon: (pic#17021383)

[personal profile] yuwon 2024-02-21 09:13 am (UTC)(link)
...

[ honestly, the dots populate on their own, but in a way he's glad if just because it's made it abundantly clear that just because you type something, doesn't make it true, izou. ]

What? You were that interested in me?
But, it's not a big deal. It's not what you think it is.
hitokiller: id: (pic#16894176)

[personal profile] hitokiller 2024-02-21 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
interested?
it's more, i don't get ya
sayin' you're strong, but you won't answer to a challenge
sayin' yer not calculatin', but giving me the runaround anyhow


( not that yuwon owes him anything. he's just realizing he doesn't get him. )
yuwon: (pic#17021365)

[personal profile] yuwon 2024-02-22 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ that's not exactly incorrect. there were probably a lot of contradictions he can think of in his life. kind of like how he considers his regression a sacrifice, but wouldn't necessarily label himself a hero or anything. actually, if he had to be honest, he found words like "greater cause" and the like pretty cringey. but, he doesn't exactly say this. instead it takes him a few minutes too long to respond. ]

You don't have to get me.
Just because someone's strong doesn't mean they're starved for a fight every second.

When did I give you the runaround?
hitokiller: id: 13510309 (pic#16887976)

[personal profile] hitokiller 2024-02-22 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
( if only they knew that the both of them didn't consider themselves "heroes" as the term is conventionally used... )

the runaround with how strong ya are
feels like you're just gettin' your kicks in,
rubbin' it in my face after doubting what i said


( so he did take that personally back on new year's. as yuwon said previously, how petty. but it's a learnt and taught pettiness rather than an ingrained one, the reminder of every trivial slight like throwing a log onto the fire that stokes his oversensitive, combative heart. )
yuwon: (pic#17021364)

[personal profile] yuwon 2024-02-24 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ while others may have approached it delicately precisely because izou seemed a bit more reactive and emotional— yuwon doesn't really have such consideration. instead: ]

You want to see that badly?
Here, I thought you only wanted some KRYPTOS and to "live the high life."


[ a pause, as if he realizes this probably would still constitute as "giving him the runaround." ] Fine, I'll give you a chance.
hitokiller: (pic#17031120)

[personal profile] hitokiller 2024-02-26 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
guess you could say i'm a genius at bein' multifaceted
i'll look forward to what these "other" skills of yers are
yuwon: (pic#17021371)

[personal profile] yuwon 2024-02-27 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
As a general rule, I don't think geniuses go around calling themselves that.
If you make me show them, sure.


[ idk if he doing it again... maybe. ]
