▶ DOWN TIME / NETWORK MINGLE #2

▷ 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.)

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? ♡
yormama: (why touchy)

[personal profile] yormama 2024-02-18 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ah, wait, what, hold on... oh is he serious? That's actually his hand there on her back! Again!! It discombobulates her enough that she almost doesn't fully process what he says, and her feet move awkwardly at his guidance.

She didn't even throw him this time! He can't be regressing like before! He's a grown man; surely he wouldn't enjoy being fed like a child?? ]


Wha...huh? A-Are you teasing me again, Toji?
assassinsgreed: (( 19. ))

[personal profile] assassinsgreed 2024-02-18 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you feel teased?

[ Despite how trashy he is, he doesn’t want to pressure her into doing something she doesn’t want to do. Still, seeing her this flustered is delightful and he wants to know of how much he can get away with, so he will turn up his persuasiveness. Toji slides his hand alongside her waist as he passes by and breaks contact entirely, sitting down on a sofa. He pats the cushion next to him. ]

C’mon. Play with me. You don’t want me to be irresponsible and get a stomachache, do you?
yormama: (hmmmm)

[personal profile] yormama 2024-02-18 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She wants to say "yes." She wants to say that his overall way of speaking makes her feel like he's poking fun at her, especially when he throws in words like "play with me." But rather than actually say that, she offers up a soft "hmmmm" instead. ]

Is this a common thing for Valentine's Day in Japan? [ Because surely that's the only reason why he's suggesting it. Right?

Well, that supposition gets her to park herself next to him on the sofa. She sets aside four of the boxes in her hold until she's only got one resting in her lap. ]
assassinsgreed: (( 18. ))

[personal profile] assassinsgreed 2024-02-18 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it might be a common thing for just men in general.

[ The look he gives her is nothing but mischievous, and the second she sit and gets comfortable he reaches over for the box of chocolates… only to remove the box from her lap.

Now he has a good head rest.

It takes him just a few second and settle down in Yor’s lap, shifting on his back to look up at her.

Oh yes. This is.. pretty much the perfect view. He settles the box on his abdomen and pops up the lid. ]


You can decide how many or how less I have~
yormama: (aw crud)

1/?

[personal profile] yormama 2024-02-18 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah...

[ Yor goes still and just watches as Toji makes himself comfortable in her lap.

She should've expected it, perhaps. He seems to like teasing her, doesn't he? Though this is a bit beyond just teasing. This is like...isn't this...flirting??

She's frozen. Not a single thought going through her head while her systems try to reboot. ]
yormama: (aaahhhh)

2/?

[personal profile] yormama 2024-02-18 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's flirting. He's flirting he's flirting he's flirting he's flirting?! With her?!

HUH???? ]


Aah, hah...
yormama: (we're reaching critical mass)

3/?

[personal profile] yormama 2024-02-18 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Toji might as well say "Happy Valentine's" to the floor because that's where he'll end up after she shoves him right out of her lap. Complete with a keening whine to her voice as she squeals: ]

Tojiiii!! That's not funny!!

yormama: (key smash)

4/4

[personal profile] yormama 2024-02-18 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh...oh no, wait.

WAIT NO SHE PUSHED HIM TOO HARD ]


....aaahhhh! I'm sorry! I did it again!!
assassinsgreed: (( 139. ))

[personal profile] assassinsgreed 2024-02-19 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Somehow, she's done it again. It's not that Toji doesn't have high reflexes, he certainly does, but being content on a lady's lap is the last situation he would find himself in to fight (which.. maybe foolish of him; he's tactical smart; not exactly socially smart.) It's occurring to him that this might be an ongoing thing that Toji should be on the lookout for.

But this time, she completely catches him off guard and he's hurled on the ground. Fortunately, his stupidly big body is sturdy, but face planting right into steel pavement isn't the most comfortable thing. He does make a disgruntled sound and pushes himself up, shifting to a seated position with.. well.

He doesn't look happy and a small dabble of blood is leaking from one of his nostrils. ]


... You can just tell me to leave you alone if you want.

[ That little bit of pride he refuses to let go of is kind of hurt. ]
yormama: (critical failure)

[personal profile] yormama 2024-02-19 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not- I wasn't expecting that! I thought you'd be sitting up... [ Not!! In her lap!! ] Sorry, sorry, sorry!

[ Yor's quick to move down next to him on the floor. She takes out a handkerchief from her pocket and holds it up toward his nose. She reaches out to set her hand on his shoulder, more to steady him than herself. ]

H-Here, you're bleeding...
assassinsgreed: (( 21. ))

[personal profile] assassinsgreed 2024-02-20 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ The more he is sitting here the more he is realizing that Yor always.. takes care of him after doing something like this. This kind of positive attention— he isn’t used to it; the only time he experienced it was when he married to the first wife he had.

He doesn’t blush and he doesn’t smile, but his expression does soften considerably when Yor dabs at his nose.

Maybe he could get used to this. Instead, he deflects: ]


You don’t have to be nice to me either.

[ there’s the greedy side of him that he gave into last time; played into his act for more attention, but now that he’s seeing a pattern, he’s remembering that he doesn’t deserve anyone’s positive attention and care. That’s what he was told as a child anyway. ]
yormama: (I'm a good wife right)

[personal profile] yormama 2024-02-20 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ Is he sulking? Maybe she's overthinking again, she can't tell, but he still seems mad. Of course he would be, Yor thinks, he's bleeding! And it's her fault! ]

I want to. Even if I didn't mean to, I hurt you.

[ Because she overthinks and overreacts...because she didn't keep her strength in check. A mistake she takes special care to avoid now as she applies pressure to his nostril to help stop the reddening of her kerchief. ]

I'm sorry.
assassinsgreed: (( 57. ))

[personal profile] assassinsgreed 2024-02-21 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ whyyyy the fuck would ANYONE even WANT to try and make amends with him? Be nice to him? Do things to help him?

Although it’s kind of the thing that Toji doesn’t realize he craves, it pisses him off that someone is persistent with being genuine with him. Why? He isn’t worth anyone’s attention. Just let him be a money mooching, sex sucking freak, Yor.

He doesn’t blush, but he does turn away and wrinkle up his nose. He’s definitely putting up a harsh front just because he doesn’t know what to do about all of this. ]


… It’s fine.

[ His voice at least seems more gentle. He huffs, hating this weird feeling in the air now. ]

You shouldn’t want to do this, though.

[ That’s what he doesn’t get. ]

I’m not nice and I’m not someone people should want to be around. I do shit like this to see what I can get away with; that’s all. It’s what I deserve. Your response is valid.
yormama: (fidget)

1/2

[personal profile] yormama 2024-02-21 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ "It's fine," he says. She shouldn't want to help him, shouldn't feel sorry for hurting him, he deserves this; she doesn't know what to say to that. The silence that follows is unbearable for her to sit in. ]

It's not fine. Even if you weren't nice to me, I wouldn't want to hurt you. I hate that I've done it again. [ She eases back on her knees and pulls away her kerchief. Despite the blood now coating it, she folds it up a few times and slips it back into her pocket. ] But you are kind, I think. At least, you have been to me...even if you tease me.
yormama: (37)

2/2

[personal profile] yormama 2024-02-21 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She needs to do better. She has to try harder. Even if he's sturdier than others, she still hurt him. She's still doing it.

She has to be better. ]


But, if you're sure, I won't bother you anymore...if you'll at least let me get you some gauze for your nose.
assassinsgreed: (( 24. ))

[personal profile] assassinsgreed 2024-02-26 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ His tired eyes watch as she pulls her handkerchief away, catching sight of his own crimson blood. It's not everyday he sees his own blood on someone else's tissue; it's usually when he's hunched over a dead body.

This girl is way too hard on herself. Toji gets it; he can be the same way. He was a lot like this when he was a kid and thought he could do better-- be better, Actually, be something. He knows it's cause he was bullied by his family and still, somehow, he couldn't shake their negative opinion of him. He tried not to care, enough to dull his emotions and eventually become an assassin. It was hard to even know what happiness felt like until he fell in love. Love was sweet gestures like this, wasn't it? Toji tried not to look too much into it, though. They barely knew each other. ]


I'm no good for someone like you, so it shouldn't be worth it.

[ They barely knew each other, but Toji felt like it was better that they didn't continue talking. He can already tell he'd do nothing good for her other than hurt her.

He stands to his feet and runs his nose along the back of his hand, catching any loose streaks of blood. He should probably say something else or more, but he's having a hard time finding the correct words. ]
yormama: (I guess that's alright)

[personal profile] yormama 2024-02-26 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ "Someone like you."

It lances through her. Icy steel right through the back of her neck, down into her spine. She doesn't stop to consider he means it negatively toward himself. Her mind won't allow it. He must be so angry...

The lapse of silence that follows is unbearable. So much so that she wishes she could be out fighting the Shachimon again. At least that would give her something productive to do. Something positive to turn her absurd skills toward.

Yor doesn't look up as she fishes into her opposite pocket to produce another handkerchief. This one's clean, though. One for her, and one for Anya; a habit she hasn't had the heart to drop. It's come in handy now, she supposes. She doesn't have to go looking for a first aid kit and chance him being gone when she returns. She's not sure how she'd take that if it happened. ]


Actually, you can...use this. I always carry two. [ It's a practiced smile. Fake, easy, nowhere near enough to fool anyone who's known her longer than a minute. She hasn't had to wear it in...how long has it been? ] It's an extra, so don't worry about returning it. I don't mind.

[ She doesn't leave room to argue. As soon as the kerchief's pushed onto him, she turns sharply on her heel and walks away as swiftly as she can. She doesn't think to pick up the rest of her candy either. She meant to give it to him, after all, so it's only better he has it. Right?]
