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.)

Do you think people only accept what's genuine?

[ it's just a challenge back to the concept. if he thinks about it, even without his eyes, he could probably have made similar determinations, but when it came down to it... isn't it less about what's real rather than what he believes to be true? he figures others probably operated similarly. they can't read minds or see lies and intentions. they just rely on their gut.

and he has a feeling nanami didn't generally give off such a bad impression to receive the hostility of others. but, who knows. ]

Isn't it fine if they take it however they want?

No.

[ People accept whatever's convenient. He knows that, but despite his flat, serious expression, Nanami picks his words carefully. ]

It won't be fair to them if I give them something that could be misunderstood. These kinds of gifts are meant to convey more than just chocolate. Recipients trust their teammates and friends with their feelings. I don't want to take advantage of that.

I don't necessarily think most terms are fair, either. [ which he wants to point out specifically just be contrary, even if he knows it doesn't actually hold water in their conversation per se. but, perhaps he just wanted to punctuate the idea of: did it really matter if people misunderstood?

yuwon doesn't see the gesture that deeply. after all, they were simply a box of chocolates. but, he doesn't necessarily argue this point. instead: ] Then can't you just put your trust in them at the same time? That is, if you feel that bad. [ it isn't necessarily meant to challenge him or his ideals, but he definitely does seem to be testing the resolve behind what he says. ]

If you can't do that, then... [ he just sort of seems to shrug. ]

[ Yuwon isn't trying to challenge his ideals and he clearly seems to be treating it all very casually, but Nanami nevertheless finds himself pausing, hesitating in the way he always does when the time comes to give his own trust and belief in something. He's comfortable fighting and supporting others in their passionate pursuits, but his own always seems to fall just short of what he wants to achieve. He's strong, but as a sorcerer he could never reach the point beyond his clearly defined limit. As a person, he had will and desire, but always seemed to inevitably hit a point where he couldn't chase the ones that were more spectacular. The question might be innocent, even indifferent, but Nanami still holds onto it as he looks at the box Yuwon gave him so easily.

Just shoving it forward because he had something to do without thinking of the consequences. His resolve cracks. ]

...mm.

[ Fine, fine, right. He draws in a deep breath and folds his arms sternly. ]

Get the rest of yours.

[ They are going to fuck shit up and hand out candy. ]

[ it's a quick decision. for all his internal strife (or what yuwon perceived to be that in his quick stint of silence), he supposed it's an easy turn of events. he doesn't think nanami truly changed his mind as much as he simply opts on giving this line of thinking a chance. however, temporary.

maybe he's thinking too much, but as much as he knows the man... he struck him as dutiful. serious. uncompromising in some ways. except, maybe the latter isn't completely true of their dynamic the last few times they had encountered one another. hence, he seems to give a huff. half in humor, and maybe half in exasperation at his own prompting. ] See, that wasn't too hard. [ they haven't even started yet.

but, well, it seemed easy enough. ]

[ Nanami's entire existence is saturated in strife. Not only the harsh life of a sorcerer fighting a virtually impossible war on curses, but the strain against himself. The constant desire of wanting to do more, to have more, to be more, but knowing indisputably that he doesn't have that chance. The universe has its select number of brilliant stars, and they are few and most often detached from everyone else. All Nanami has is his will to keep pushing forward against an unmoving reality. The conflict between his wishes and his adherence to practicality are always at war.

He scoffs at Yuwon's comment, that pragmatism winning out. ]

Don't speak too soon. We still have to actually give them away.

[ And despite how easy it seems, Yuwon apparently hasn't had success. That's not an encouraging record for them. ]

You're coming too.

[ there's a brief touch of his features that seem to shift, almost as if if asking "really?" but, considering that he may have potentially challenged nanami, he does think it was his responsibility to respond in tune. sort of. almost noncommittally, he trails behind nanami. ]

Fine, let's go. [ he figures if they could both clear their objective at the same time, the actual method and ideology behind it didn't actually matter. ] But, I don't want to hear anymore complaining after this.

[ if just because sometimes you have to get the last word in. ]
stresspoint: (pic#16830366)

[personal profile] stresspoint 2024-03-20 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm.

[ He might not be thrilled to take on this task, but for once he really has no complaints to offer. Maybe it's Yuwon's attitude of constantly pushing forward that is rubbing off on him, making Nanami think that it isn't so bad to chase the limit of something, even if it's a silly thing like passing out candy by some inconsequential deadline. If he were to dig really deep, he might even find he's enjoying this--enjoying Yuwon's grudging agreement to go along with it. ]

You look like you have more to worry about than I do.

[ Yes, that might really be some sarcastic humor bubbling up. ]
