KAIJU FIGHT #3
KAIJU FIGHT #3
▶ 001. POSITIVE THINKING.
The aftermath of the last kaiju battle, has had LILITH researchers scrambling to find an adequate way to combat the aftereffects of the kaiju discovered in the desert. While their research is still very much a work in progress, for now… it’ll have to do. In the early hours of the morning, a message will appear on everyone’s oculars, asking them to suit up immediately and meet at the given coordinates, which will act as the Outsiders rendezvous point. These coordinates lead to an abandoned hotel within 1 mile to the outskirts of the strip.
A new update awaits each Outsider on their oculars. There is no option to decline, and right away it prompts you through several steps. This update was all in part thanks to the various dreams that the oculars have been reacting to. The researchers for LILITH figured out a way to combat these pesky mental side effects by forcing the mind into a state of equilibrium. In order to do this, Outsiders will be asked to think of their happiest memories. Perhaps, due in part to everyone downloading this update at the same time, people will automatically feel an odd sensation as they think back on these memories, almost as if their mind is connected to a collective. These memories will leave each Outsider feeling fulfilled, or even a temporary sense of high as the download continues. As a result, Outsiders may feel giddy or a sense of calm. Some may be motivated to talk about their happy memories with others the first time they do this.

▶ 002. BREACH OF THE CITY.
Once the download is completed, there’s zero time to rest. It looks like whatever they found in the desert isn’t interested in just sitting and waiting. They’ve come to the city with clear intentions of gradually infiltrating its borders. Who are they? Why, the missing people of course.
Apparently, as part of the kaijus life cycle, it lays eggs, which then hatch into younger worms, similar to actual earthworms. These young worms, unable to protect themselves, control the minds of other living entities in order to do their bidding and keep their own bodies safe. Once infected, their hosts become vicious and hungry for meat, attacking any living thing in sight and trying to eat its flesh to nourish the parasite within.
It’ll be up to the Outsiders in order to scope out these young worms controlling the people of the desert, while simultaneously knocking those individuals out of commission. In some rare circumstances, there will be no turning back for these individuals; if the young worm actually burrows themselves into the bodies of the controlled, they are no more than a reanimated corpse, and will need to be eliminated immediately. The longer these worms exist within these people’s bodies, the larger they grow, and by extension, the more influence they can exert over a larger net of people.
Instead of the camper vans, LILITH has provided other sleeker vehicles in order to quickly traverse the city. The vehicles are equipped for speed and are meant to assist in getting to the various coordinates LILITH sends out to everyone’s oculars. The coordinates all mark where these “controlled people” have been seen via drone footage.

▶ 003. WORM ON THE MIND.
While the attention will be focused on destroying the monsters that have come up to the city, there will be occasional tremors that can be felt that seem to come from far below— almost as if they were cries from the old city that lay forgotten below. Unfortunately, it’s much worse.
In the middle of staving off the attacks from the mysterious creatures, there will suddenly be the sound of the defense alarm blaring, and without any additional warning, something breaks through the center of the city. This will first be punctuated by the sounds of the building around them crumbling, followed by the clear visual of the large serpentine creature they’ve encountered in the desert. The large sand worm doesn’t even pause to regain its bearings. As soon as it recognizes the presence of other organisms, it begins glowing a fluorescent shade in varying indefinable colors—
Thanks to the updates on the oculars, there will no longer be hallucinations that follow any contact with the worm, however, if one stares too long, they will still be met with splitting headaches and a pressing sense of agitation, so Outsiders are cautioned against prolonged exposure. That said, it won’t always be easy to take a breather against such a large creature.
A brief is sent along with her message.
Note: Roles can be decided by the characters themselves as to what they figure is appropriate and most fitted to their skill set. Everyone will eventually fight the worm (so this does not affect the fight mechanics of the worm itself) and people can also jump from one role to another.

█ █ █ MONSTER DEBRIEF SHEET
NAME: ALITTA VIRENS
HEIGHT: 400 metres
WEIGHT: 1,900,000 kg
CLASS: Extremely Dangerous
LOCATION: Las Vegas, USA
ABILITIES: Mind control. Although full details are UNKNOWN, its young can take control of human and animal hosts. Once under their control, the hosts will become aggressive and hungry for meat, which is theorized to feed and nourish the young worms until they are ready to emerge.
EXTRA NOTES: According to what the researchers have surmised, similar kaiju have appeared on a much smaller scale and are susceptible to water poisoning and electrical shocks. LILITH has not found a way to fully free the hosts from the parasite, but they can be stunned after receiving multiple electric shocks.
"
YAMAKAWA: Angels of LILITH, please be advised of your roles moving forward. With the city already infiltrated, we will need to be quick."

A brief is sent along with her message.
█ █ █ MISSION ROLES:
✖ GROUP ONE: Those who fulfill this role will need to be equipped with brute strength and the ability to survive the attacks in a city that is the midst of being destroyed. They will also need the stamina to keep the worm at bay as the others complete their tasks before also gathering to exterminate the kaiju.
✖ GROUP TWO: With strong mental fortitude, these individuals will be expected to clean up the group of controlled individuals; not all will be able to be saved, and the ability to make that distinction is imperative for this role. Those who appear too far gone will not be able to regain their senses. They will need to be killed.
✖ GROUP THREE: This group will be concentrated on being able to property evacuate the citizens that remain in the city of Las Vegas. Preferably those who are quick on their feet, or are able to stealthily circumvent the dangers in the city in order to get the people to safety would be ideal for this role.
✖ GROUP FOUR: Those with support skills or a medical background will be expected to assist those in the other groups, whether by healing, additional abilities, or by assisting the other groups as needed.
Note: Roles can be decided by the characters themselves as to what they figure is appropriate and most fitted to their skill set. Everyone will eventually fight the worm (so this does not affect the fight mechanics of the worm itself) and people can also jump from one role to another.
▶ 004. LET'S WRAP UP.
The areas the worm has traversed leaves the ground above it weak and unsteady. Due in part to this, those who have evacuated will need to remain in the shelter until further notice. As a result, it’s up to the Outsiders to clean up the city. Aside from the large gaping hole in the center of the city that they can’t address immediately, they are first expected to get rid of the carcasses of the larvae.
Each Outsider will be provided with a suit and will even be given hover packs to scale down the side of these large holes. They will also be given traditional ropes and lines for those who want to get creative with scaling, or who simply didn’t make it there quickly enough to grab a hover pack (with the destruction to the city, some supplies are still in transit). They will be expected to review each carcass and tag which ones can be sent to the lab for further review, and which should simply be discarded as being unusable.
A coordinated effort is needed to adequately dispose of the largest kaiju. The alitta virens will need to be cut into several thousands of pieces, and so work needs to begin immediately. It’s not like the people can return to everyday life with a giant serpent-like entity laying on top of their city. Outsiders should be particularly cautious with it; even when dead, as it still seems to have strange tendrils inside of its body that appear to be writhing even after its death.

EVENT BREAKDOWN (CLICK TO EXPAND)
1. POSITIVE THINKING: LILITH has updated everyone's implants and encourage them to think of their happiest thoughts to give the technology the mental boost they need. Some characters may feel high or giddy and want to express their happy memories to someone else.
2. BREACH OF THE CITY: The worm larvae have a parasitic nature and are taking over the bodies of civilians. Outsiders are tasks to seek out those affected, killing worm larvae or civilians with parasites who are beyond help.
3. WORM ON THE MIND: The largest worm breaks through the ground in the heart of the city and Outsiders are encouraged to attack within their arranged group.
4. LET'S WRAP UP: After the sandworm monster is killed, Outsiders will be tasked with clean up efforts.
closes your eyes for you
he wonders if this stemmed from the intrinsic sense of hopelessness he felt in the memories she's shared with him. but, he also knows it's unlike himself to be vexed by these thoughts. he tightens his hand momentarily as he listens to her, only releasing when she's nearly finished speaking.
it was easy to feel like, in all their disconnections, that they sometimes feel like they're walking and speaking on two different paths, and yet he can't deny the feeling that they also converged in some ways too. he wasn't lying when he said he liked the way in which she was familiar and unfamiliar to him at the same time. ]
I don't think I've heard you talk this much in a while. [ a few days. it's probably a poor time to make this comment, but he does regardless, before he does end up finishing his thought. ] I'm saying I would bring you. [ though, as he thought, rodya knew him quite well.
if this was the tower... no, he doesn't think about it. ]
I can't lie and say for how far, or make you a promise I can't keep. I also don't know if you'll end up changing your mind. [ he reaches out and places a hand on her shoulder. it gradually moves to the side of her neck, enough where he can feel the steadiness of her pulse by his thumb. she did look a bit chilled, but he doesn't ask her where he jacket is, maybe she simply didn't want to wear it and be reminded of him. ] You're probably special because of all you've been through. Bad or good, they're things that only belong to you. You say you're one of the weakest, but I don't see you that way.
[ as cliche as it is, he may have been taken in by rodya simply because she was so... herself. for better or worse. no matter what she's been through, she was someone who stuck to her own principles and convictions.
they say everyone is formed by a culmination of their experiences, the environment they've hailed from, and many other minute details stacked upon one another. yuwon doesn't know about any of that, but he does comprehend that rodya was the person she was because of her past, no matter how much it plagued her, and in spite of it— she still showed feelings of compassion, she still managed to live to her convictions, and flourish even through the worst of her internalized struggles.
"i want you because you make me feel like someone."
they're words that he never imagined could have been said to him. ]
I thought about it, but this is all I could come up with. I also want you...
[ to come with him, whenever it is. but, maybe something deeper than that too.
while it isn't like his feelings are completely sorted out, or that he's given her the full response she wants, he hopes she'd at least understand that much. ]
why are we like this 1/2
[Yuwon, please... Then again, he's always the type to make a comment about everything he notices. One of the details she picked up about him ever since the two started to hang out some more.
It does stun her a bit when Yuwon explains that he would bring her along and he doesn't see her weak. Maybe it's because some of The City's expectations still cling on to her like old habits. The hand on the side of her neck does feel warm that she did tense up for one second out of the feeling of temperature change. She relaxes again since Yuwon really got that effect on her.
He talks more and his feelings do reach her, but "this is all I could come up with" part does make her stare a little bit.]
All this time I gave you and that's all you gotta say?
[Then again... This is very much something Yuwon would do. Think very hard and long on his words to try to make her happy.]
2/2
[She lets out a tired laugh after a few seconds before she closes the gap in between their bodies. Her free arm wraps over his lower back and she looks directly into his eyes.]
If I am putting in the effort, even when it hurts to talk... You gotta do the same too. Don't think too hard on it, let me know whatever feeling pops up in your heart. I want to hear your feelings and thoughts when they happen. Even the bad ones. Even if there is no words, I still want to understand you. You are a mystery sometimes~
[It will take time for both of them to learn and get better, but maybe there is a chance for them to get there. And she is smiling right now over it even if she doesn't realize it. Because she feels greatly wanted by someone after for so long. It's still questions in her about if she deserves such warmth right now, but sometimes you tell yourself to forget it, indulge in these things while they are there.]
We can figure it out together. Right?
no subject
feel something else entirely.
if he knew her innermost thoughts, he probably could have easily assuaged her with the clear fact that she deserves a lot more than this. more than he could offer, especially when he comprehends he probably isn't the ideal partner. though, even with that belief, he does appreciate the clear idea that despite her question— she does seem to relent to his words. does seem to accept them as they presently are, and when he sees her smile. ] You don't think I've done enough talking?
[ though, while he asks that, he gives a quiet nod, as if to say he undertsood. as for if he was actually capable... well, that's another matter entirely.
gradually, a smile spreads across his lips as his hand moves up to touch the side of her face. it's a face he's seen so many times by now that he doesn't think it'll be easy to forget even if he does return to his life. unlike before where the thoughts of the future impeded his ability to live in the present, he's distinctly aware that the tenderness he currently feels is somehow... still there in spite of it all. even he didn't know he could feel this way...
he doesn't say anything and just seems to savor the moment. overlooking the decimated city wasn't too bad for once.
after a moment, he asks: ] Should we head back now? [ together... ]
no subject
[When they both believe that they deserve a lot more than this, someone better than each other.... Damn... She still teases her way to ease any worries away for both of them, to try to keep this a happier moment. Something tender, gentle... It's so foreign to her due to how her life has been, but that first gentle touch got her intoxicated for more.
She lets out a chuckle on his question before she lets go of his hand to touch his face back. Her hand movements are gentle yet careful since maybe she feels like her hands always have a chill to them. It doesn't stop her from stroking his cheek, moving further to brush back his hair before nudging his face closer to hers. What a blessing that she is only a little shorter than Yuwon so she can kiss him without stretching for it. It's a lingering kiss that she puts a lot of feeling behind it, to let any unspoken words be told. Once a period of time has passed, she pulls back a little to speak and breathe, but not too far. Yuwon could feel her breathing with how close she has gotten.]
Yeah, we can head back now... [Together.]
no subject
as much as he tries to smoothly move on, he feels her touch linger on his cheek and then feels the press of her lips against his. he also finds himself temporarily transfixed on the gesture, his head tilting slightly to savor her taste on his tongue. but, then she pulls back, and he's left feeling like he's missing something.
hence, he might be picking up his pace in heading back. ]
