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.)

( with that rank E luck of his...

and here's where izou starts to wonder why he's complying. sheer curiosity, maybe? it's absolutely not out of fondness, or a desire to actually wring her neck (yet).

there's no way he's savvy enough to forward his coordinates or focused enough to remember the actual address. what he does transfer though is an image of the pachinko machine parked right in front of him, glaring neon letters at the top of it spelling out "HARUPAN" in garish comic sans. )

playing hard to get huh

[ She doesn't rule out the possibility that Izou doesn't know how to send his current coordinates to her, though. Whether he expects it or not, Sooyoung arrives at Harupan no longer than 30 minutes later. ]

Before you ask how I found you, I asked the staff where I can find the biggest loser. So... are you winning?

[ This is literally what's happening here. ]

( help.

he didn't expect her to actually follow up, and the abrupt voice behind him is startling enough to make him jump in his seat. shit.

his hand fiddles with the lever of the machine on reflex, sending countless amounts of little silver balls down the left chute, the tell-tale bonk of their tiny journey masked by the various jingles sounding from all ends in the parlor.

izou turns to give her a disgruntled look after most of them miss their mark, the underside of his right arm shoving up against the console. )


I was, 'till you threw off my timin'.

( the entire establishment reeks of smoke, but it doesn't seem to bother him none. he looks her up and down, an eye narrowing. )

What. Just came here to laugh at me?

Sure, blame me for your lack of skill.

[ People blame Sooyoung for things all the time (rightfully so), she can take this. The machine on the right side of Izou is free, so she plops down there and pulls out a box of cigarettes. ]

I'll laugh if you give me a reason. You smoke?

[ Is this Han Sooyoung offering a free cigarette... yes. ]

( ...... wha? huh?

he's thought it countless times before, but it has to be iterated again: what is wrong with this woman?

after all the bickering, the threats... the trying to punch herβ€”

she's still willing to waste time on a mess like him? )


... Sure do. ( his left arm crosses in front of him, reaching out to her to offer an open hand without looking up from the machine. ) What. You... lonely, or somethin'?

[ Sooyoung gazes at Izou's palm in silence. The fact that he doesn't even peek it's a good enough reason to frown at him, not that Izou will notice. Well, it can't be helped—he just has to learn this lesson the hard way.

The lesson being pay attention to Han Sooyoung at all times.

After pulling one of the cigarettes out of the box, Sooyoung cups Izou's chin and tries to force him to tilt his head her way. Whether she succeeds or not, she's going to put a cigarette directly into his mouth. ]


I never get lonely, remember that.

( oh, she succeeds. succeeds at being the first to shut him up so completely, her fingertips along his chin and the forceful way she makes him fix his gaze on her enough to color his cheeks with a faint blush.

look... people don't approach him like this, ever, and the cigarette fits nearly in his mouth while he's stunned into silence.

what he does do is click his tongue when he turns back to face the display of his machine, doing his best not to look rattled in any way. the fact that he hasn't even lit the thing might be telling though.

message received... )

[ She could grab his chin again and light up his cigarette, but that's enough of physical contact for today, even if she likes bothering him. Instead, Sooyoung puts the lighter on the table the pachinko machine is standing on, closer to Izou.

Maybe at some point, he'll remember that he's supposed to light it up. If not, she'll have one more reason to snicker.

With that done, she's going to give pachinko a shot. Gambling is fun in moderation, after all. ]

( it's a strange feeling, this contentment in silence and not in solitude.

if izou thinks about it any further, it may just be ruined.

because maybe it's fine like this. fine to let things be when it comes to this woman he barely knows and understands, and so, with a shrug, he settles back into the routine of mindlessly plugging away at pachinko, only stopping minutes later to finally light up his cigarette.

all he needs to focus on is the soft clank of steel balls fighting their way through the machine, the aroma of cigarette smoke in the air, and "i never get lonely, remember that." )
