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.)

Another tower... sounds like a mess.

[ She's tempted to shoot a few more questions his way, especially after being called persistent. ]

Using repetition on me? That's a literary device, you know. [ When it might seem that Sooyoung just wants to deflect, she takes a deep breath. ] Three years ago everything went to shit and the end of the world started.

[ This is just the right amount of information Sooyoung's willing to share. ]

Are you clearing the floors all alone?

You're not wrong. [ it was a mess, even if it was a lie. but, it's true when the truth was revealed that it became a huge turning point in how the tower and the power dynamics within it was perceived. when she mentions "repetition," he gives a pointed sigh.

she really was a writer, huh? even the way she cleverly side-stepped the subject had to be this way. or so he thinks. "end of the world" is a statement he doesn't exactly expect and yet, he knows better than to think he could wring any additional information out of her. besides, for all the questions he asks in trying to comprehend the world climate others come from... he didn't exactly enjoy prying.
]

That's the plan. [ he gives a nod. he did it in his previous life, and he planned to do the same in this one. admidst all the other plans he had, that is. ]

I can't blame you. Sometimes it's better to deal with stuff on your own.

[ Most of the time, even. Sooyoung has a hard time imagining that he's completely alone and hasn't formed a party. On the other hand, didn't he mention that each floor is a completely different world? That would make working with people way too troublesome and he'd have to go through the process every time he climbed up to the next floor.

Thinking about all that makes her go silent for a little while. ]


Have you ever thought what's on the end of it all? After another tower, there might be yet another tower, but you'll eventually reach the end.

[ he remains tight-lipped at first, his mouth closing into a thin line. despite having no response, it's clear by the look he gives her that he's not the least bit surprised she would say something like that. at least not from their previous exchanges (and how averse she was to admitting she may have been lonely). though, when that's all done and said, what is actually weird...

... is having this common ground. before it can stick for long, he moves forward in the topic. when he speaks, it's almost as if he were speaking about something unrelated to himself.
] Not really. [ if just because he technically... did know. except, in his previous timeline, it meant the destruction of the tower and all the living things in it. in that sense, who really knows what the future held this time.

but that said, he shakes his head.
] You can say that I have a strong feeling it shouldn't be anything like that.

[ this is the least convincing thing ever. hence, he changes the topic to: ] What made you change your mind? [ about working with others. she mentioned she knew a few people, right? she also keeps mentioning about how people leave, so... ]

[ Even if she's not entirely sure if the reason behind those thin-lined lips is because he agrees or not—there's a high chance Yuwon's just judging her and her whole I don't ever get lonely shtick—it's not all that important. The curt answer almost makes her laugh, though. No sound actually comes out, but her lips curl up in a smug smile. ]

Then what is your feeling telling you? You should be thinking about what's beyond that tower.

[ There's no hint of hesitation in her tone as if she knew Yuwon's situation very well (she doesn't) and that was the best thing for him to do. ]

Some people are just... more interesting than others, that's all. They want to reach that end you should be thinking about.

[ his feeling doesn't actually exist. just actual facts and insight into the future through having lived it. is what he's thinking, but he decides to shake it off. ] It's telling me you're oddly involved when it comes to me. [ what is this call out? but, if it derails the conversation a bit...

it is true that he is wondering where her curiosity stemmed from? was it just from being a writer? or was it some other connection they may have built up through their exchanges. no, that couldn't be it.
]

But, thanks for the advice. [ as devoid of emotion as his voice is, he does actually mean those words. he figures they come from a place of actual experience, and it was probably meant to encourage him to think of what the future held. the issue was that maybe that's all he ever really thought about. ]

It was a mistake to smear that one egg all over my head, you know. That's why I'm oddly involved.

[ While she's not too serious about the first part, realizing that what Yuwon has just said is true and she is, in fact, oddly involved... Sooyoung shudders visibly, not even bothering to act unaffected. ]

So... you're not going to ignore it? [ That's what she expected, to be honest. ] Wait, one more question. It's... your first time in that tower, right?

[ That question has been lurking in the back of her mind, but she kept brushing it off... until Yuwon made her aware of how involved she is. ]

[personal profile] yuwon 2024-04-13 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ did she have to bring that up? reflecting back on it, it was clearly a mistake. a mistake that somehow cemented them and their present connection to one another. is that still a mistake...? it's a mystery, and one he chooses not to delve into it.

... and by the looks of it, she seems to echo a similar sentiment.
] Do I seem that dismissive? [ he asks, and yet he already knows the answer. however, what brief considerations may have been attached to those words seem to be completely overtaken by that last question. his eyes widen just slightly— a surprising break in his usual stoicism. but, that's exactly how much metaphorical weight that question held for him.

he says nothing at first. maybe that's telling in and of itself (beyond his initial gut reaction, that is). while it does little to confirm or deny, he says a small:
] I can't say.

[ Do I seem that dismissive? he asks and then proceeds to say something dismissive, dismissively. Sooyoung raises her eyebrow without saying anything because just as Yuwon might think, his answer is making the gears in her head spin. It's tempting to just say the R word and see where it leads, but Sooyoung did notice his widened eyes, even if that lasted just for a moment. ]

You can do anything, but you simply don't want to say. It's fine.

[ If there's the smallest chance that her assumptions might be true... there's no way she can leave this at a it's fine. ]

You'll reach your goal eventually, I'm sure of it.

[ it's not wrong, but it's not the entirety of the truth, either. though, part of the issue with the latter is that no one can know what that encompasses if he doesn't say anything. revealing his hand may actually have no recourse here, yet it's a secret he's kept close to himself. maybe there would come a time when he could reveal it freely without the added pressures from the tower.

that said, he doubts it's kept as tightly under wraps as he thinks it is.
] What makes you say that? [ is he questioning the fact that she's saying it's fine, or that she seems to blindly believe that he'll reach his goals?

was it sarcasm?
]
