TRAVEL LOG #2
TRAVEL LOG #2
▶ 001. WINGING IT.
In the early morning hours of the 1st, Outsiders will receive a rude awakening blaring through their implants. No matter what they do, the alarm will not stop sounding until they are forced to get up. A message will flash through their vision:
ALL OUTSIDERS ARE TO REPORT TO THE HANGAR IMMEDIATELY FOR DEPARTURE
Get up, get dressed in your plugsuit, and it’s time to go! Once they report at the hangar, they will be met with a huge spacecraft, large enough to fit at least 80 people. This will be their mode of transport to their next location.
True enough, there are more than enough seats on the LILITH SKY CRUISER to accommodate every Outsider, and to get everyone organized quickly for departure, all Outsiders will receive a seat number. Like any plane, seats are rather cramped and there isn’t much leg room. Once the seatbelt sign is off, Outsiders are free to stand up and move around the cruiser, but they might have to climb over other people or make the whole row stand up to give them room. The aircraft is serviced by robotic stewards serving light snacks of nuts and crackers, and coconut crab kimbap and seaweed soup at meal time. Any characters who use a cloaking device will be instructed to use it during the flight to accommodate the aircraft. Also, any characters who rely on a weapon or anything else (such as a Gundam), it will be loaded onto the cargo of the aircraft.
The flight will take about 2-3 hours. Outsiders may take a nap, chat or try the inflight entertainment available. This inflight entertainment is delivered through a virtual reality headset. Outsiders may pick a selection of AI movies of questionable quality, along with several virtual reality games. There are single player or multiplayer options available for every game.
Available games include:
Eventually, the sky cruiser will touch down on Incheon Airport. There’s no need to be stuck waiting in line at immigration... it appears as if the Incheon Airport has not been used in decades and seems completely abandoned with the exception of the Outsiders. The old scanning machines and luggage belts are simply collecting dust. Outsiders will be ushered immediately to the nearest train station, where they will continue their journey by train.

"My Angels of Lilith. You are needed once again. We have received distress signals from the neighbouring country of South Korea. Unfortunately, since we have not established data portals in that country, we require you to embark via air. Your aircraft is ready for you and your seats have been assigned. I bid you a safe journey."

Available games include:
- The Sims 30: One player gets to become the ‘god’ of a world and build houses or dictate the lives of other players and NPCs within the game as they see fit.
- Farm Crossing: A farming simulator game where players get to build and manage their own farms. Harvest your crops and tend to your animals! Impress the friendly villagers in the town with your beautiful ranch!
- Tales of Heroes: A fantasy game where players are reborn into a world of monsters and magic and have to level up by fighting monsters and slaying demons.
- And many more … (Feel free to design your own VR games.)

▶ 002. WELCOME TO SEOUL.
Once descended from the train ride, they will have arrived in the city of Seoul, South Korea. Similar to Neo Tokyo, a lot of the people on the outskirts moved to this area in order to receive shelter and the benefits of being amongst civilization, rather than fending for themselves. As such, there is a certain hustle and bustle, but considering the state of their dilapidated airports and most of the other cities falling to ruin, there definitely is a more somber vibe to the city. Despite that, the residents carry on and there is no shortage of shopping, food stalls (mostly with foods that are not easy to perish), cafes, pojangmacha to have a late night food or drink at, and many more smaller businesses. The people are resilient and have every single desire to continue making a living. As such the prices here are competitive and Outsiders will find if they look hard enough, there are some fairly good deals to be made. Currency exchange is no issue, as KRYPTOS is the universal currency.
Since a lot of efforts were made to keep Seoul intact, there are still some important sights that were kept up and can be visited if desired. While LILITH urges people to keep their eyes peeled out for any clues to the next kaiju’s whereabouts, Seok Dang may or may not have sent each Outsider a map of the best sightseeing amongst many other not-so-innocent suggestions. He calls it the difference of experiences and “doesn’t want anyone missing out!” If people check back on the message a day later, they will find it was almost as if it didn’t exist at all. On the list, however, includes sights like the Gyeongbokgung Palace, COEX mall and aquarium, Seoul Sky, and many others. However, some of them may or may not exist anymore. How long was he out of the country for? For an extra “freebie” he throws in, Outsiders will find an odd message on their style upgrade saying there is a new outfit available, when opened, it will download a hanbok that they can wear at any time.
And Seok Dang wonders why he is the Commander's least favorite.
Beep! An alert pops up on the Outsiders' ocular devices. According to the information LILITH just received, there is not just one large kaiju occupying this region, but two. In order to chase both of these leads, Outsiders are split into two groups in order to chase these two kaiju. They have described these kaiju as being very agile and fast, but resembling a serpent from the few sightings that have been spotted. As for the rift that it originated from, there is no sign of a rift in South Korea. Did it migrate here from somewhere else? More details will pour into the Outsider's devices as soon as possible, but for now, Outsiders are called to pursue the hunt.

"Well, well. Unfortunately, whatever fun could have been planned will need to be halted just a mere two and a half days to get settled. Once again, a message will be produced on everyone’s oculars suggesting an emergency is on the horizon. Guess we better get to that instead of showing you my home country!"

▶ 003. TEAM SEOUL.
EVERLIGHT & REDEMPTION
Within the next hour, rain will begin to fall upon the city, but this is far from the average summer shower. The precipitation doesn’t seem weather-related as much as it does seem to be a proponent of the kaiju’s abilities. They find this when studying the rain itself, which is acidic to the touch. While the buildings and other structures will remain sound, the people will need to evacuate quickly in order to avoid any lingering effects to the skin. Skin contact with the acid rain will cause both minor and severe burning, depending on how quickly it is rinsed off with normal water. At the first discovery of the acid rain's danger, Outsiders will be commanded to press a button on their plugsuit on the left shoulder, activating an invisible helmet to keep their heads and faces safe.
The Outsiders’ plug suits prevent them from receiving any damages from the rain, but that’s certainly not the case for everyone else. The first team, made up of the members of Everlight and Redemption are to prioritize the initial evacuation of the people, especially those who live slightly outside of the city limits of Seoul. They are the most vulnerable during crises like these and will need to be pulled from their homes, and those who live in the basement shelters will need to be pulled to one higher ground in case of potential flooding with the acid rain. Individuals who have skills in healing will also be called forth in order to tend to the injuries of those who are saved.
Between evacuation, there will also be tidbits of information provided to those on the team that remains in Seoul to check out specific locations in order to figure out more about this kaiju. The first location listed is Gyeongbokgung Palace. Outsiders that remain in Seoul will be utilizing that as their base. They are set to look at any remains the kaiju may have left behind. Any findings are commanded to be surrendered to LILITH. Emergency response of South Korea will use this palace as a safe haven, providing cots for sleeping overnight and other emergency supplies.

▶ 004. TEAM BUSAN.
BRIMSTONE & REVELATION
The second team will depart via train on a journey to the city of Busan. The journey is expected to take 2 hours, and while there are comfortable seats available on the train, any luxuries beyond that are minimal. At least LILITH has brought along a few VR headsets for whoever wants to kill time with games or bad movies? Anyone can sit where they'd like for this ride.
An hour into the trip, a loud crash is suddenly heard, with the entire train rocking and falling to its side. This causes a complete blackout throughout the train and it stops functioning completely, leaving Outsiders stranded within the pitch black tunnel. The train system is completely inoperable in this condition. Outsiders will need to make their own journey to the city, following the rails by foot and helping any Outsiders who happened to be injured in the crash. It’ll be dark within the tunnel, but light will soon emerge once they exit it, and they will find themselves at the foot of Mount Geumjeong.
From then on, they’ll need to put their trekking skills to the test and cross the mountainous, forested region, where they will encounter various local fauna such as snakes, deer and black bears. They will also spot many destroyed villages and temples on their way to Busan. However, evidence of the Kaiju can be found in both the subway tunnel and throughout the mountain trek, suggesting that the kaiju has moved through here. This encourages LILITH to keep Outsiders in this area. The Outsiders will need to make a campsite in one of the destroyed villages, though emergency response will also pay them a visit several days later with sleeping cots and emergency supplies. In the meantime, hopefully they brought enough food with them or know how to forage and hunt for food in the wilderness. Some of those berries out there are poisonous....
The team here will be encouraged to explore the area to find further traces of the kaiju and help any villagers who are still alive.

▶ 006. AFTERWORD.
Welcome to our second travel log!
Characters do have ASSIGNED SEATS for the duration of their flight to Incheon airport, though there are just enough empty seats that some characters can move around if they really don't like their seat buddies. Teams BRIMSTONE and REVELATION will be traveling to Busan, while teams EVERLIGHT and REDEMPTION will be staying in Seoul.
RNG below to discover what your character will find in both Seoul and Busan respectively. For the STATUS REPORT Prompt, treat it as an open chat room for all Outsiders and respond to the HEADER COMMENT. Feel free to threadjack and discuss among yourselves. You may also include this as a text prompt in your top level if you would like for people just to reply to you instead of using the header comment.
All tags on this log are worth 2 points and will count towards August AC.

EVENT BREAKDOWN/RECAP (CLICK TO EXPAND)
1. WINGING IT: Characters are told to head to the hangar for DISPATCH to SOUTH KOREA where reports of a kaiju have been seen. Characters sit in their assigned seats for a short air travel ride.
2. WELCOME TO SEOUL: We arrive in Seoul and are given orders to split into two teams: Everlight & Redemption in Seoul, Brimstone & Revelation in Busan. Seok Dang has tried to sneak in some sight seeing in between mission briefs, but it looks like there won't be much time for that, as two kaiju have been found in South Korea.
3. TEAM SEOUL: Everlight & Redemption deal with acid rain in Seoul, ushering civilians to refuge, tending to acidic burns and using Gyeongbokgung Palace as a makeshift base. Investigation hints at the kaiju being somewhere in this area as Outsiders find claws, teeth, droppings and other things that belong to a dragon-like creature.
4. TEAM BUSAN: Brimstone & Revelation board a train to Busan which has an outage, trapping them to travel along the tunnel in the dark. They arrive at the end of the tunnel at the foot of Mount Geumjeong and create a makeshift base in the village there. Investigation hints at the kaiju being somewhere in this area as Outsiders find claws, teeth, droppings and other things that belong to a dragon-like creature.
5. STATUS REPORT: Outsiders are encouraged to share their findings and speculations on the kaiju in an encrypted chat room.
yuwon kim / level up with the gods / revelation
LOCATION: Busan
STATUS: Alive
FINDINGS: Fresh feces
STATEMENTS: Don't come this way. It smells awful.
Does anyone know a good location to take a shower?
@Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight
[He's gonna troll him. Why the hell not? But on the other hand...]
There's a gym near the palace base. The water still works.
no subject
[ calling him out per usual. ]
...
Are you showing off how you still have plumbing in the city?
no subject
[It just ended up being one. This time. Shut up.]
I'm telling you for when you get back!
no subject
[ speaking as if he's strictly speaking in facts. (he's not) ]
I don't think they would let me take any sort of transportation like this.
no subject
[why does this guy always piss him off?!]
Are you willing to brave any lake nearby?
no subject
[ if anything, that's a trail, so isn't that a good thing? ]
That might be better. It's better than waiting around. But, I will need to scope more. It'd be a pain if a kaiju was hiding in it.
no subject
[it's good if you're hoping to run into the damn thing... which could be bad.]
We could find out if the kaiju thought you were a meal. Then we'd know one thing it eats.
How far are you guys away from the city?
no subject
[ he'd be impressed if it could get any more potent tbh.
but, this probably just means it's worse for them. ]
I don't know if I would be that tasty.
Give or take about 300 km or so. That would be my guess, but we had an accident, and so those measurements could be off.
no subject
[luckily he's only come across scales and claws and other reptilian hints, sans fecal material.]
So long as you have meat on you, I don't think they care.
Damn.
[He had an idea of bringing some soap out there, but even at his fastest, 180+ miles isn't happening.]
no subject
[ if he's texting him like this, he presumes he isn't in actual peril. ]
I think you'd attract their attention first. I'm not as flashy as you are.
? [ damn... bakugo, a true friend.
if yuwon knew, he'd be smiling like in this icon. ]
no subject
[ignoring the fact that's how he and yuwon first met in real life...]
You got more meat than I do. They'll want you more.
[good thing he's not going to know!]
Maybe you can find some leaves that'll help.
no subject
[ :) ]
Do you think that much more meat means a lot to a kaiju that could be as large as a building? [ not that he thinks this is or isn't the case. it's more or less an example. ]
Leaves? You mean make my own soap?

[ENJOY THAT TAKING UP YOUR EYEBALLS, HEISOKU!!]
Hell no! But I won't go down as easily! I'll blow it up from the inside out!
[He'll be the worse thing that monster ever ate! ... Ignoring the fact he was already eaten once. It was not a fun experience.]
Some leaves can be used as cleansers. Or at least get the smell off.
no subject
thankfully for bakugo it isn't, but he seems to shrug it off all the same. this wouldn't be anything new. at the very leats, it was better than his forced niceties the first time they spoke on the network. ]
What if its insides were explosion proof?
[ not such a specific what if. ]
I'll take a look. Guess it helps we are sleeping outside.
no subject
of course yuwon's going to shrug it off! the guy's like a damn stone wall that won't crack! outside of mentioning his mentor to him or something... bakugo's going to find a way to fluster or irk this guy. one way or another, he'll get a damn reaction!]
Then I'll claw my way back up it's fucking gullet and blast its teeth out!
[explosion proof innards would be a hell to deal with... anyways, he's gonna do a quick search on the internet, just for yuwon's sake.]
Soapwort, english ivy, horse chestnuts, clematis. Those can all be used as natural soap.
[yuwon can look them up to find their appearance, as well as other plants that can be used as soap. it's an offer at least.]
no subject
[ no kaiju is eating one... in theory. ]
I'll take a look. Instead, of worrying about me washing up, shouldn't you focus back on the mission? I'm sure setting base where you all are isn't easy with the rain, either.
no subject
[don't you dare look down on him like that, yuwon! maybe a tiny part of bakugo now wants to see this guy get eaten just so he can "how's it feel" when he inevitably gets saved. what a petty brat.]
What the hell do you think I'm doing right now? [at which point the feed transitions to a visual of bakugo's sight. buildings flash by as the hero flies through the area, searching for people to get out of the rain.
yeah, he's multitasking.] A few of us are doing one more sweep of the area before we return to base.
no subject
when the feed shifts over to video, he sees the natural vibrations and shift of each step that propels bakugo forward, the rain surprisingly seems to avoid whatever head gear the hero has on. in turn, yuwon also shows his video, but it's not nearly as exciting in a sense. instead, it just shows him in the middle of a forest.
... and the pile of shit in the distance in the background. but, he does seem done with his tasks of taking a sample, and he had marked the general area on his map. why is he still standing in its general area, and why is he sharing this... ]
Well, good luck. Try not to get wet.

@mr. viper
Assuming that these findings originated from the kaiju, it was nearby relatively recently, in other words.
I'll remain on the lookout for suitable shower facilities.
no subject
It looks like it. ... Smells like it, too.
I'll message you if I see anything, too. There should be a water source, but I'm not sure if that is really going to solve the problem. [ hopefully, the emergency supplies comes with soap concentrate or something. ]
no subject
That would be appreciated, although I concur that water alone is insufficient.
Are you collecting samples to submit?
no subject
[ ... ]
How were you going to do it?
no subject
no subject
[ has he actually found them yet? no, but at least the idea is there.
