DOWNTIME MINGLE #2


CONTENT WARNINGS: medical procedures, possible nsfw

▶ 001. DOWNTIME & SPONSORSHIPS

As Outsiders make themselves comfortable back on MAIN BASE, they will be informed of a reward for their great efforts. A party is thrown to celebrate their achievements and they will find pizza and a cup noodle tower. A giant streamer and balloons are laid out for everyone to see:
GOOD JOB:
GREAT EXPLOSION MURDER GOD DYNAMIGHT (K.O)
KUZUNOHA14 (546)
TENTACLE (497)
ICE SNAP (488)

The named Outsiders will also be informed that they’ve managed to catch the attention of a certain instant noodle company. As thanks for their hard work and dedication to protecting Neo Tokyo, the company has decided to launch a new line of flavors in their honor. All proceeds will go to relief efforts and charities in Neo Tokyo. The new flavors are:
EXXXTRA HOTT mapo tofu ramen
Creamy octopus and seafood chowder ramen
Chilled tomato noodles
Sweet potato and miso ramen

The tower of cup noodles in the cafeteria isn’t all. The winners will receive a free and unlimited supply of the special flavors until the campaign ends in 3 months.

Those who do not 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.


▶ 002. HEALTH CHECKS.

Following the events of the most recent battle, LILITH is in a busy state. What was supposed to be a simple operation has become a major event with the sudden Rift event. The LILITH administrators work closely with officers, researchers, and engineers to understand what happened and how to proceed.

While not all questions are answered, Outsiders will receive updates on things of note. First and foremost, the Rift was successfully closed. The park is closed and being tested to see if it is safe to enter. Reports suggest the Rift event was caused by the large, uncontrolled levels of electricity at the park. LILITH agents have gone in and identified some of the bodies. Others are missing, presumably pulled into the Rift, and assumed dead. Among the dead is Dr. Tanaka whose mutated corpse and lab coat were found near what they believe to be the Rift’s origin center. As for the mutated survivors… well, that remains to be answered.

Outsiders will be told to sit tight while the grounds are checked and cleared for further recovery efforts. In the meantime, every LILITH operative who participated at Tokyo Disney Land will receive orders to check their health to make sure the Rift didn’t infect them.

Outsiders will be directed to the medical bay where Dr. Spim and Alex will tell them to get changed into their loungewear and wait for tests in the lobby with each other. They will be given questionnaires to fill out and be asked what they experienced before, during, and after the Rift opened. After that, they will conduct regular tests for things like their blood, vision, hearing, etc. The physical will also involve checking their ocular and brain implants. Hopefully, no one is bothered by all of the poking and prodding.

Upon conclusion, characters will receive their results. For the most part, there don’t appear to be any lingering effects from the Rift, and any comments they receive will be about their regular health. There may also be some helpful advice written at the end to varying degrees of helpfulness such as:
Reduce sugar intake.
Remember to live, laugh, love, and hydrate.
Exercise regularly to improve mental health.
Be nice to yourself or else.


Characters are free to discuss their results with each other or they can choose to keep the results to themselves. After all, the results they receive are between them and their physician… Right?


▶ 003. TFLN.

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.

It happens the first time, and several times throughout the week as your character goes about their new routine. The sound of machine-like whirring, deep within their cranium, like a computer that’s in the midst of processing some new information. Then, there’s the familiar ping of a new public message, and whatever you were thinking about at that point of time will be plastered on the network, for all to read and react to. Thinking about your recent health check results? Having a fun night out at a club? Regretting said night out at the club? Falling into a deep depression about how your life has turned out so far? It doesn’t matter when or where, because the system doesn’t discriminate. You’ll soon find the thoughts you were having during those moments posted on the network and you can’t delete them.

"The system is updating …

...

The system is updating … "


That’s the only explanation SYNTHIA will give when prodded or asked to take down a post. She’s not too helpful at this moment. It looks like while Seok Dang isn't available, his usual antics have been pre-programmed.

"We are performing an investigation into this matter. We appreciate your patience."


Welcome to our third Network Mingle! This is a TFLN-inspired mingle that’s been tweaked to make it completely canon to the game. Due to a glitch in the system, random thoughts that characters might be having throughout the week will be registered as network posts and posted in public for all to see and respond to. This can happen at any time as they wander around the main base or different Neo Tokyo locations!

HOW TO PLAY:
1. Write out prompts (example below) for others to respond to. These can be thoughts they’re having in bed, at work, while intoxicated or what-have-you. You can look up shower thoughts or TFLN as inspiration, but remember that this will be game canon so it has to be written in your character’s voice.
2. Go around and respond to others!
3. ???
4. PROFIT!

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!

(Please remember to put warnings for NSFW/triggering content in the subject header.)

NOTE: Since there is both an action and a text component to this mingle, all action tags on this post are worth 2 POINTS while all text tags as part of the TFLN prompt are worth 1 POINT.

Speaking from experience, are you?

Unfortunately. If you're looking to ask about mine, I'll have to ask you to stop right there.

Assuming I were interested in such a thing. How vain.

It sounds to me you want to be asked about it, given the swiftness with which you made this about you.

[personal profile] frostfist 2024-04-15 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ HELLO ]

Ah, let me rectify the situation then. How's your love life doing? Someone catch your eye?

[personal profile] bruisehaver 2024-04-15 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
Githyanki do not have "love" the way humans do. We have thrill-partners. Play mates.

I will seek not love, but someone who I can share carnal pleasure with.
[ closes eyes ]
And while there are a few who have potential, there are none I have intention of pursuing immediately.

[personal profile] frostfist 2024-04-15 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ you know what? he can respect the honesty. ]

My mistake. Though I imagine you must have some pretty high standards for these [ ..... ] thrill-partners of yours.
bruisehaver: (pic#16950289)

[personal profile] bruisehaver 2024-04-15 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Why wouldn't I?
To have less is to have no pride.

I only bed those who I can respect in battle. That is the most important standard.
I'd ask to ensure you have at least some level of standards, were you not so cagey about the matter.

[personal profile] frostfist 2024-04-15 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
I simply prefer to keep my personal and professional affairs separate. Though I suspect you'd be disappointed even if I were to tell you.
bruisehaver: (pic#16873951)

[personal profile] bruisehaver 2024-04-15 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
And you continue to believe yourself to know me so well.

Disappointed in what way?


[ she won't deny the possibility, but also, she doesn't know what he thinks she might be disappointed by. unless he's just bedding all the lamest and weakest people he can find... ]
frostfist: (pic#16873228)

[personal profile] frostfist 2024-04-15 11:17 am (UTC)(link)
By my lack of standards. I don't mind sleeping with someone so long as we get along.

[ sometimes you just wanna get off..... ]
bruisehaver: (pic#16950263)

[personal profile] bruisehaver 2024-04-15 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Contrary to what you might believe, I can understand standards which differ from my own.
In the end, it is about needs being met.

You're a man of vigour, Wriothesley. I'd find it stranger if you were not seeking out mates during our downtime.
frostfist: (pic#16949970)

i'm fucking crying

[personal profile] frostfist 2024-04-15 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ]

Is that the type of man I strike you as?
bruisehaver: (pic#16950259)

😭😭😭

[personal profile] bruisehaver 2024-04-15 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
You're young, in shape, efficient.
And you do not strike me as the overly sentimental type.
So yes, naturally.
frostfist: (pic#16873225)

[personal profile] frostfist 2024-04-15 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I really am going to have to disappoint you by saying I've been spending my free time engaging in other activities.

[ ..... ]

But you're not entirely wrong.
bruisehaver: (pic#16950286)

[personal profile] bruisehaver 2024-04-16 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ lae'zel finding out wrio isn't even fucking ]

You say you have lower standards than me, agree that it is not sentimental, yet still seek no partner.
One might assume you don't "get along" with anybody well enough.


[ you can't hear the /s over the text, but she's joking. ]
frostfist: (pic#16949978)

[personal profile] frostfist 2024-04-16 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ I'M CHOKING ON MY DRINK ]

I can only speak for my own standards. Perhaps the standards of everyone around me are that much higher, thus ruling me out as a potential partner.

I don't suppose you're interested?


[ this is also /j ]
bruisehaver: (pic#16940461)

[personal profile] bruisehaver 2024-04-16 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
I could be convinced.
Though poorly timed, our impromptu brawl was thrilling.
Few things delight me, but your nerve in striking me first did.

Whether you can handle me remains to be seen.


[ WHAT is going on here ]
frostfist: (pic#16873243)

[personal profile] frostfist 2024-04-16 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? I've always liked a good challenge. Though I'm afraid you still won't be able to get me to kneel before you so easily.

[ 🧍‍♂️ it was jk until it wasn't........................ ]
bruisehaver: (pic#16940452)

[personal profile] bruisehaver 2024-04-17 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ 🚶‍♂️ ]

There are other acceptable ways to submit.
You'd submit to me all the same.


[ unless you pass this dc15 intimidation check wario (no) ]
