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.
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?
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.

[Roland...did he know what flow he would follow, when all was said and done?]
Tragedy and all.
no subject
[ that's. so much to think about. ]
Well, what do you think? [ she raises her head to look at him. ] Do you think there's still a chance for people like us?
no subject
[He sees him now. That characteristic smirk, those dark eyes. A fond voice telling of a life with his wife, his child.]
[And that dark, dark night where a piano played, and those eyes were filled with bloodlust, tears, and a darkness that threatened to swallow him whole.]
[He sighs.]
If we were there....I'd say no.
[But here...this isn't the City. This works differently. They are not beholden to that darkness. He doesn't like this place, either. But the rotten roots don't feel as deep as he knows.]
... [He rubs at his forehead, weary.] But here. I don't...really know.
no subject
even so, she'll try. ]
I'm surprised. [ she takes up her cup of cooling coffee. ] I really thought you'd know all things as the Red Gaze. It's... sobering, to be honest.
no subject
[Being a Color is its own shackle and chains. They may be more free. But only in a sense.]
Not like they have traveling to other worlds like this in the Color Fixer manual, either.
no subject
[ she's so delulu that there's just no point bringing it up to her. not until her canto, that is...
but the mention of other worlds has he blinking. she talked about this with rodya a little while ago, but-- ]
Do you think the Mephistopheles would let us travel to other worlds? I mean, it did open doors to the former L Corp and all.
no subject
[HE'S SO TIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
[The question makes him hum, tilting his head.]
That would be a Miss Faust question, I'm afraid. A little...outside my jurisdiction, so to speak.
no subject
Figures. [ a sigh. ] I don't think it'll be that easy, though. Just think of the multitude of taboos it's going to break. I'd say more, but only Yi Sang can provide a much better opinion that me...
[ she's not as smart as those two geniuses okay, damn.
she takes a sip of her coffee, peering at verg over her cup. ]
I'm glad, though. That we're able to talk more openly like this. Handcuffing could never.
no subject
Of course. We have to bow to the rules, regardless. The bus isn't a toy.
[No playing around with it and extra dimensions.]
[The last part makes him huff, and he finally moves to take a sip of his own cuff.]
Are you? I suppose its better than...before. I appreciate it.
[A beat.]
Who is your beloved, then?
no subject
but holy shit that question took her by surprise that she suddenly coughs, setting her cup down before she drops it. ]
B-Beloved? That's kind of a stretch now, don't you think?!
[ BELOVED????? BELOVED..... beloved???? ]
no subject
Ah, yes. Because you wanted to talk about love. Out of nowhere.
no subject
no subject
no subject
No. It's more like... I'm scared to think that it's romantic. Because of the things you just said.
no subject
[And he can understand that. It's why he's done his best to pull himself away from others. He can't repeat that again.]
Do they make you happy, at the very least?
no subject
They... make me feel safe. It's a rare feeling to have, you know? And the more I get used to it, the greedier I become.
no subject
[He sighs.]
You aren't worried that greed might be too much? Do they understand where you come from? What you grew up with?
no subject
[ she sighs. ugh, she's hopeless. ]
no subject
[well that sounds like an Ishmael(TM) problem]
Might as well. From what I've talked with others...it seems our City is more significantly rotten than one would expect, compared to the worlds where others have thrived.
no subject
Yeah, I... get the feeling that that's the case. [ why did we have to live in such a sucky world, man. ] I just wonder if they'd still accept me even after everything I did since I didn't tell them the entire story. I mean, you saw what happened, right?
[ she was, you know, being normal and all. ]
no subject
The trials of Sinners push them through suffering without bound. [A little sigh.] Regardless, it happened. You can't erase it. You are you as you are now since you went through that hell. That is, to say, its part of your tapestry. This person may as well acknowledge it.
no subject
[ she sighs. ]
I just don't want to lose another friend. You've had them too before, right? It's incomparable, but it may as well be the same.
no subject
[And in the end, that was her decision.]
[He closes his eyes.]
...Unfortunately, that is what comes with our profession. In our world, it is part and parcel of our life. To refrain from that is to deny ourselves. But if you choose to look past it...that is your decision.
no subject
[ another long sigh. dante, save me.......... ]
You know, I didn't really expect to get legit advice from you. [ she smiles. ] Thanks.
no subject
You just caught me on a good day.
