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.

@Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight
Or you seriously can't get stronger despite training.
no subject
Either way, when your stats get up to a certain point, they don't get higher easily.
[ not without the perfect measures,
and what was a lot more difficult to obtain here. ]
no subject
What's "stopped" for you right now?
no subject
[ ... ]
I'm assuming everything.
What have you been improving here?
no subject
[Idiot. Does he have any idea what effort means? Nothing improved without work!]
I could bring down a fucking skyscraper back home.
When I got here, I could barely burst a car.
I'm not gonna stop until I've regained my power, and then get even stronger.
no subject
[ but, he doesn't confirm nor deny per usual. ]
Well, if you're progressing...
Maybe I can try a few things. Though, what would really help is having a few items to supplement. [ he wasn't an item person in his previous timeline, but he can definitely see its merits now. ]
no subject
If you need someone to kick your ass into gear, tell me when.
What kind of items?
[He knows Yuwon already has a sword or two, so it's likely that...]
no subject
[ about the items, however, he does take a second to type.
almost as if he were thinking about the ones he was missing. ]
I recently got my sword and four elements armor back, but there were other items I had before.
no subject
[though yuwon's not wrong to be wary. bakugo isn't the kind to go easy on someone when training with them. not without griping about it at least.
he raises an eyebrow at the answer.]
Do they feel depowered as well?
no subject
except, yuwon isn't really offended. instead, he finds the tiniest semblance of humor in it. honestly, he could really picture bakugo as a teacher and it was ... noisy. ]
Maybe, it's difficult to compare since elements and attacks could have a different amount of power in this world to begin with. I also haven't tried it in all circumstances.
Are you saying you'll test them?
no subject
bakugo is a damn good teacher if you're able to put up with his attitude and teaching style...]
The last two kaiju here were elemental in nature and were affected by one elemental attack more than others.
[Safe to say this place has elemental affinities.]
Bring it on, Heisoku. Unless you're scared I'll break them.
no subject
I'd like to get more insight, but I don't know what elements people here use. ... would your fall into fire?
They won't break. [ ... ] Don't wear too much. [ that way he could also have bakugo test it out by putting it on. ]
no subject
how about he rip him a new one instead?]
Yeah, if you only consider the basic four or five.
[Fire, Air, Water, Earth, with "Energy" being that amorphous extra zone.]
I'm not gonna fucking bundle up!
[Who fights looking like a damn snowman?!]
no subject
For other elements, we'll have to figure it out.
[ ... ]
You never know.
no subject
Or wait till we get to the simulation room?
no subject
You basically live there anyway, don't you?
[ the training room...
though, that's not to state he doesn't appreciate bakugo's willingness. ]
no subject
LIKE HELL I DO!!
[just because he goes there frequently doesn't mean he set up camp! hell, sometimes he gets turned away because other people are using it or the guy running the place doesn't want to be bothered.]
i've got a job to do as well, dumbass.
[plus self-schooling, hobbies, people, and other such things.]
