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.

That shrine doesn't exist there in my world anymore.

It was move to a safe place and its treasures sealed up to protect them.

[personal profile] cranekin 2024-04-17 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I wonder if it's the same here...

But anyway! That's what I mean by divine sword. I used to listen to prayers for the higher gods.
After that, I went somewhere else.
blastedass: by bokunoicons @ tumblr (💥 Hmph around the corner.)

[personal profile] blastedass 2024-04-17 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Ancient artifacts aren't a high priority when you've got fucking kaiju trying to murder you.

Does that affect what you can do? A sword like you versus some peasant's grandfather's blade?
cranekin: (pic#15474122)

[personal profile] cranekin 2024-04-18 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
Whether a sword belongs to the emperor or a farmer or if it served at a shrine or on the battlefield, most blades still cut the same.

I suppose it matters more now that we have these human forms. The stories we collected make us what we are.


(So no, it doesn't change what they can do (not really, though, some may be more specialized). Instead, it influences who they are.)
blastedass: by blastedass @ dreamwidth (💥 Ugh.)

[personal profile] blastedass 2024-04-18 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
No shit. But swords that serve emperors or shrines tend to have a lot of stories about them.

[Ranging from fantastical feats to tales of great and unnatural power. Who knows if the spirits of those blades personified those tales as much as the basic "i'm a sword, chop chop" attribute.]

What? So you didn't turn into some burning cursed blade after you got your 1000th kill? Fucking lame.

[What a disappointment, Tsurumaru. You should see his face right now.]

But your person's influenced by your fame.

[Okay that's... kind of really interesting if he thinks about it. Cool? Eh. Interesting? Actually yeah. Very.]
cranekin: (pic#15469714)

[personal profile] cranekin 2024-04-18 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
They usually do.

(Have a lot of stories attached to them. Yeah.)

You'd be surprised by how many supposedly cursed blades are just regular swords. There aren't many swords that can change the stories of humans but there are plenty of humans that can change the stories of swords.
blastedass: by blastedass @ dreamwidth (💥 This punk feeling lucky?)

[personal profile] blastedass 2024-04-20 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not fucking surprising. Legends are legends for a reason, not cause of facts.

You didn't get any strange stories to your name despite being a divine sword?
cranekin: (pic#15469542)

[personal profile] cranekin 2024-04-20 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
It's only one of my stories so I don't know.

(he really doesn't... that moment when you've been passed around so much and inherited so many stories... you are just an uncertainty. maybe that's why he's so capricious. )
blastedass: by bokunoicons @ tumblr (💥 Just your normal high school boy.)

[personal profile] blastedass 2024-04-20 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
how many stories do you have?

[even though tsurumaru just said he didn't know, bakugou's curious what sort of memories the sword spirit has.]
cranekin: (pic#15469484)

[personal profile] cranekin 2024-04-20 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure.
blastedass: by bokunoicons @ tumblr (💥 Just. Got out. Of the shower!)

[personal profile] blastedass 2024-04-21 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
start counting.

I don't have enough fingers.
blastedass: by bokunoicons @ tumblr (💥 Unusually serious for him.)

[personal profile] blastedass 2024-04-22 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Figures.]

You're not the only sword spirit guy, are you.
cranekin: (pic#15474087)

[personal profile] cranekin 2024-04-23 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
You didn't think I was the only sword in the country, did you?
blastedass: by blastedass @ dreamwidth (💥 JUST FUKKIN SHADDUP N LISTEN!)

[personal profile] blastedass 2024-04-23 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
HOW THE HELL SHOULD I KNOW IF EVERY FUCKING SWORD'S POPPING OUT SOME GUY?!
cranekin: (pic#17115246)

[personal profile] cranekin 2024-04-23 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
But if one can do it, why can't the others?

Eh, Bakkun, I'm surprised. I thought you would understand.


(He's doing this on purpose now.)

[personal profile] blastedass 2024-04-23 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
THAT'S GOT SHIT TO DO WITH UNDERSTANDING!!

[That's a fucking world fact no one would "get" without being told!]

OF COURSE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE, BAKKUN!

[... you wanna die, old man?]

YOU ALREADY SAID THAT!!

[personal profile] cranekin 2024-04-23 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
(god please when will the cold dark familiar embrace of death take him back.)

I KNOW I'M JUST EXPLAINING.
I HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS BACK HOME.
AND A LOT OF ENEMIES TOO.

[you got a death wish, ask him and he'll be glad to help!]

SAY THAT NEXT TIME, DAMMIT!!

[he doesn't need a run around for a normal conversation!]

SORRY I THOUGHT IT WAS OBVIOUS
I WON'T ASSUME NEXT TIME
blastedass: by bokunoicons @ tumblr (💥 Piss the fuck off!)

[personal profile] blastedass 2024-04-26 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
bastard. you do that on purpose.

does everyone's sword turn into a person in your world?
cranekin: (pic#15469483)

[personal profile] cranekin 2024-04-27 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
(He has to think awhile before he answers this so hopefully Bakugo doesn't mind waiting...)

No. It takes a special person to bring a new person into this world.
