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.
003a
[ Yuji is salting at the orders, nodding and turning around to go and do it before he stops, pausing for a moment. This is the first time someone has come along and given him actual orders, and he blinks, turning back to look at Yato with narrowed eyes, almost as if he's suspicious.
This is new. It's not that he doesn't want to follow the orders, it's just... A little new for him, and he shifts his weight as he almost hops to turn around and look at the strange man.
He's been here for months, hasn't he? So does he need to follow these orders...? What would sensei say? ]
... Wait. Who are you?
no subject
[Pleased to have the support from someone, Yato thrusts a fist in the air encouragingly, hoping to hype up this guy even more. A positive attitude can make all the difference when it comes to taking action, so the first order of business is to get people raring to go!
Though it seems his efforts don't last very long. That look the kid is giving him makes him a little nervous, not that he allows it to show on the outside. Instead, when questioned as to who he is, Yato merely flashes a peace sign, puffing up his chest proudly. Gotta make this count!]
Yato, God of Fortune at your service! And who do I have the pleasure of working with today?
[Yep, turning on the business charm. What a ham.]
no subject
[ He's never heard of this guy before, but this isn't the first time Yuji's met a God in this place, so maybe he shouldn't be too surprised by it? LILITH really is starting to drag the most dramatic and over the top kinds of people now, with Gods and the like...
The peace sign makes him tilt his head, and awkwardly, he gives one back. ]
Itadori Yuji, codename Vessel! It's good to meet you!
no subject
[It's tough being an unknown commodity in the grand scheme of things. At least this guy seems to believe him and isn't questioning his godhood like so many people do. Though that doesn't make Yato any less of a drama queen, as will probably become apparent soon enough.
For now enthusiasm is the prevailing emotion as he nods, placing one hand on his hip.]
Nice to meet you, Yuji! My codename's Destiny. You ready to get started?
no subject
The enthusiasm is familiar, at least, something he recognises, and there's a sense of something like Gojo-sensei about it. Gojo was always a little overdramatic, a little excited about the world as it is, and Yuji shakes his head a little as he hums, looking around.
He'd been given orders, right...? He's already sort-of forgotten what they were... ]
Yeah! Do you wanna be Yato-san or Destiny-san? I don't mind which one!
no subject
Hell, even the show of respect through the usage of -san makes him a bit starry-eyed. Usually he just gets called Yato by everybody, without any regard for his being a god.
Don't mind him gazing into space. He's dreaming of the day when more people will call with the appropriate suffix. Maybe even -sama...!]
Yato-san works fine! I think I'd forget that Destiny is my codename until I've had a chance to get used to it, so better to use my actual name for the mission.
no subject
[ It does make him wonder what the point of the codenames actually are, when so few people use them. Is it just a thing for LILITH's benefit, to make them feel more like soldiers or something? Even if his codename doesn't fit him any more, should he be using it or trying to get another one?
It's all a bit too much for someone with a brain like his, so Yuji shoves it aside and focuses on the moment at hand. No point getting distracted.
Back to the mission at hand! ]
Do you think the kaiju is coming soon? I can carry a bunch of the people, but if the monster's going to show up, it's better that I stay here.
no subject
[It is rather odd to go to all the effort of naming everybody only for those codenames to get left by the wayside. At least the civilian names make sense when they're dealing with the public. Oh well. Better to not overthink things that aren't vital to the task at hand. They can mull over LILITH's decisions back at base, once everything is taken care of.]
I imagine so. We've found pieces of it here and there, so it probably hasn't gone too far. So for what it's worth, if you can help the civilians, I can fight or at least distract any threat that comes our way. Though of course I'll aid them, too when there's no danger.
no subject
[ Yuji doesn't get it either, really, but he's also not the brightest in the world, so he's accepted the fact there are some things that just won't make sense to him. He's happy to accept that for now, even if it's still a little weird.
That's the nature of being part of a huge military-esque organisation, huh? ]
Right! I'll try and get them moving, but I'll try and hang around here a little too. If that thing shows up we're all going to have to fight it to win, just like before.
no subject
[Like he kinda wishes he was, at least a little bit. It's tough being an unknown god at times when you have people not believing you about your status as a divine being. Especially when your specialty is killing things. At least he knows why LILITH brought him here. That much is obvious.]
Sounds like a good plan! If we can clear a safe path for civilians to traverse and then just patrol it, that should be fairly effective in getting them to safety. Provided the damn kaiju maintain their distance and don't show up in the middle of things.
no subject
[ Yuji isn't smart enough to wrap his mind around the inner workings of the organisation, and he's not planning on questioning them any time soon. He's not planning on trying to do some kind of mutiny. He's happy here, for the most part. ]
I can go and move some of the things they've left behind, like the cars...? That'd be easy enough.
no subject
[Truthfully, the more eyes and ears they have as a team of Outsiders, hopefully the better prepared they can be in case LILITH proves themselves to be either a hindrance or an opponent. Never trust what you're told, that's his motto.]
Oh yeah? You've got that kind of strength, huh? That's pretty damn handy! I can cut through most things, though I don't want to destroy people's property needlessly. Between the two of us, we should manage pretty good, however.
