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.

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.
never apologise, i am always here <3
[ It's not as if he's wearing a tie that often anyway, since he never has to wear a proper uniform and he hasn't been to any proper formal events...
They're content together, letting himself curl around his friend, to bask, and he wonders what'll he do, leaving and coming back. To have Katsuki's existence ripped away from him and then returned, to miss his friend without knowing that he missed him... Yuji knows that heading back home is what he needs to do, but he needs to come back. He has to come back and find his friends again, to bring the good news of survival.
Until then, he can do this job. He can survive here, and find some kind of peace.
Eyes locked, he hesitates for a moment before his face breaks out into a slightly wider smile. ]
I'm not gonna stop, don't worry.
apologizes in the key of forever jus cuz! ♥
[Where his version of "always" is most adults' and proper students' version of "looks nice" when it comes to a tie. He hates wearing the damn things! It's worse when his school uniform requires them... which he... does not obey. Katsuki likes Yuji's school uniform. It seems more comfortable.
Katsuki thinks about that painful thought more than he should. He will never not want to return home. He has things to do there even if his world's paused while he's here. The fact is, he doesn't belong here; none of the Outsiders belong here. It's in their very name. (Fuck SYNTHIA for calling them "angels" all the time... Gross.) But leaving here means forgetting everyone he came to like. It means forgetting Yuji... Yet he's just as determined to return to Neo Tokyo after settling shit in his world as he is determined to get back to his world eventually. There are people he needs to return to here as well. Yuji has to know that Katsuki survived and made it out relatively okay. So many others do as well.
But that's in the future. For now, this is what's going on. A comforting moment between them. That smile he gets from Yuji will always bring a gentle brush of comfort and assurance to his chest.]
Che. I let you get away with so much shit.
[He combs his fingers backwards through Yuji's hair, messing with his spikes for the hell of it. At least Katsuki acknowledges it.]
if you'll also forgive mine!! ♥
[ Like, dude... Yuji rarely wears ties, though, so that might be part of the problem; hoodies are more his speed and always have been. Even his uniform is hoodie based, thanks to Gojo-sensei, and come to think of it he doesn't seem many sorcerers wearing ties, just Nanamin... Maybe it's a safety measure? If a curse grabbed your tie and pulled, for example... That could be bad.
The touch to his hair has him relaxing again almost immediately, sinking back into Katsuki and breathing out softly. It's nice, to be taken care of, even if he feels a little guilty all the same - as if he doesn't deserve to be taken care of when Katsuki has suffered as much as he has.
Closing his eyes, he smiles. ]
That's because you're one of my best friends. If it wasn't like that you would've kicked my ass.
i pour out forgive from bounty bowls ♥
[Even his school uniform went bereft of it because he hated them. Well, recently he's been wearing his, for reasons, but even then, it's loose as all getup, leaving his throat visible between his uniform shirt's top two buttons left open. Katsuki does his best to avoid ties. Formal wear has always ticked him off. So damn stuffy and stiff. He prefers tee shirts and light button downs, but hoodies are nice in cooler months. Kind of has to be in a mood for one though...
Katsuki continues the lazy motions, fingers playing through Yuji's hair and grazing across his scalp. It feels nice when the sorcerer melts into him like that. His eyes lid as he focuses on nothing but the other boy's warmth and presence. Oy, don't talk about guilt over this. He's doing it cause he wants to. And it helps balm his own suffering. Focusing on someone else for a while so he can charge up and deal with his own shit later.]
Heh. Damn right. [Best friends and ass kicking.] You ass isn't as easy to kick now. Makes it more fun.
