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.

Ducks can absolutely be pets!

[personal profile] ignoreher 2024-04-15 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I really want a pair!!! They'd be sooooooo cute waddling down the hall with matching outfits!
queenofkur: (faa 025)

[personal profile] queenofkur 2024-04-15 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
You could get them the outfits we saw during the mission.

Like that one very cute duck with the top hat.
ignoreher: (34)

[personal profile] ignoreher 2024-04-15 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ the one with th oh ]

You're so right! That'd be cute...
I wonder if LILITH would let me keep them around, though. It'd be pretty hard to keep them a secret though.
queenofkur: (daz 506)

[personal profile] queenofkur 2024-04-15 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't see why she couldn't. We need to be in top form to save humanity and pets are great for the morale.

You were encouraging me to mingle with cats, why can't you do so with ducks?
ignoreher: (05)

[personal profile] ignoreher 2024-04-15 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ereshkigal...!!!!! ]

They'd be so soothing to sit with...
You're so right. I'll keep you updated on them!!!

Ryoji said he'll take care of the second one, so at least it won't all be on me. Their names are Mauve and Violet once we have them! I'll hold a welcoming party for them!


[ a small one. ]
queenofkur: (faa 005)

[personal profile] queenofkur 2024-04-15 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! I'll bring them a gift.

[ Expect fitting Scrooge and Donald costumes. ]

With you and Ryoji as parents, I have no doubts they will have very happy lives.
ignoreher: (04)

[personal profile] ignoreher 2024-04-15 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope so. I've never even thought about having my own family before, so it's kind of exciting.

[ rip to the two guys that like her when she starts referring to him as papa exclusively about their ducks. ]

Wanna be their god(dess)mother? I can't think of someone more suitable, though Marmar'll be mad I didn't ask her.
queenofkur: (gaa 050)

[personal profile] queenofkur 2024-04-15 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
That would be an honor... But you should ask your friend first.

I don't want me being a duck godmother getting in the way of your friendship.
ignoreher: (05)

[personal profile] ignoreher 2024-04-15 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll be sure to, then! Otherwise, you can be Auntie Eresh.
queenofkur: (aaa 010)

[personal profile] queenofkur 2024-04-15 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Auntie Eresh... It has such a nice ring to it!

[ That reply is sparkling. May hurt the eyes a bit. ]
ignoreher: (11)

[personal profile] ignoreher 2024-04-15 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ wow...... it's so bright, somehow...... ]

If you like it so much, then let's make you an aunt! I'll let Marmar know she's the godmother.

[ surely she'll be happy about it. ducks are cute. they're ducklike. ]

Did you have fun at the hot springs before? It was so relaxing, right?
queenofkur: (bac 010)

[personal profile] queenofkur 2024-04-15 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I shall endeavor to be the best duck aunt in the world!

And it


[ Delay. Two minutes. Five minutes. After ten minutes, finally a reply! But no more sparkles. ]

It was a lot of fun! I can't wait till next time.
ignoreher: (05)

[personal profile] ignoreher 2024-04-15 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she's been on read for an hour in another time this is fine. ]

Right??? I think making it a routine would be good for us, actually, especially after missions... It really helped me get to know everyone a little better.

[ nevermind she doesn't remember half her night. ]
queenofkur: (kae 003)

[personal profile] queenofkur 2024-04-15 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes!

[ Please no. ]

Maybe not too often or it'll lose its charm.
ignoreher: (11)

[personal profile] ignoreher 2024-04-15 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Every other month then. What do you think? The other girls would probably agree to that too.
queenofkur: (dac 122)

[personal profile] queenofkur 2024-04-16 10:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, that sounds like a wonderful plan.

[ Just kill her. ]
