KAIJU FIGHT #4
KAIJU FIGHT #4
▶ 001. BE READY.
Despite having two targets, LILITH struggles to get a trace on them. Reports of sightings come in and often follow the same trend: They always appear before heavy rain, can be spotted dipping in and out of the heavy clouds, and always disappear by the time the sun comes out. Gradually, they can paint a more accurate idea of what they’re dealing with as more witness reports start to come in.
What starts off as reports of a large serpent-like creature in Seoul and Busan evolves into definitive reports of pair of dragons. Both are reported to be blue in color before they seem to fade to a dark gray or green color into the clouds. Based on reports, LILITH believes they may be able to camouflage themselves which would explain why they have been difficult to track.
However, LILITH’s Korea branch announces that by tracking the weather patterns and tracing them with residual rift energy, they can predict when the kaiju will appear next. All agents are told to be ready to mobilize at any moment. This means practicing timed emergency drills and sleeping in shifts so they can be ready to move out at any moment.
LILITH Korea decides to save time and reduce workload, they’ll have their own military assist with civilian evacuations. They will work with LILITH Japan’s agents to track the kaiju and provide support while the “specialists” (Outsiders) take care of the main threat.

▶ 002. KAIJU FIGHT - SEOUL.
In the early morning hours, agents in Seoul will wake up to an alarm telling them that an anomaly weather pattern has been detected and a kaiju is due to appear at any moment. Because the kaiju is airborne, they will be sent to one of the highest points in the city: Seoul Tower on Mt. Namsan and Lotte World Tower in the center of the city. Outsiders will be granted permission to go up to the rooftops to strike the dragon.
LILITH Korea will provide air support through nearby Incheon Airport and Seongnam Airbase. Should any Outsiders want to join in, they are welcome to if they can provide credentials… or manage to take a plane.
Eventually, the kaiju will be downed. It will crash into the city and deal heavy damage to buildings as it thrashes around on the ground at first. It will begin to run across the city at high speeds and climb whatever buildings it can. Anyone stationed at Lotte World Tower will have to evacuate quickly as it tries to bring the entire building down. However, it looks like the city is so densely packed, there’s no room for it to take off into the air.

█ █ █ MONSTER DEBRIEF SHEET
NAME: IMUGI ♂
HEIGHT: 1000 feet across, 30 feet high
WEIGHT: 2000kg
CLASS: Extremely Dangerous
LOCATION: Seoul, South Korea
ABILITIES: Control over weather conditions, including summoning of heavy storms, lightning strikes and hurricanes. Can fly up to 1000 feet. By flying amongst the clouds, Imugi releases chemicals into the atmosphere that bring about acid rain. Armored scales, sharp teeth and claws.
WEAKNESSES: Piercing it in the gaps between its impenetrable scales. There is also a particularly weak spot under its chin that will deal significant damage if pierced.
EXTRA NOTES: Despises humans and hunts them for food and sport. The scales on the male Imugi also seem to have a different color sheen to their scales, but only under a specific type of light.
* Due to its appearance in Japan, as well as Korea, it does have other names in the database.
▶ 003. KAIJU FIGHT - BUSAN.
Meanwhile, Outsiders in LILITH will have to deal with less assistance from LILITH Korea. With the railway out of commission and their air forces focused predominately in Seoul at the moment, there’s just not enough to share with Busan right now.
All seems quiet for now. Civilians and agents tune into broadcasts for updates from Seoul. As they learn more and more about the growing destruction in the capital city, everyone can’t help but wonder… There are two kaiju, right and one of them was last seen in Busan… so where is it?
Finally, around evening, the kaiju appears not in the sky but in the mountains outside Busan. It’s strange but LILITH will order the Outsiders to move out. If it’s on the ground, it may be injured so exercise caution. The mountains are difficult to travel through but eventually, they will find the Imugi.
It is extremely violent and will thrash out at anyone who gets close to it. It downs trees, spits acid, and summons lightning strikes to keep the Outsiders away. It uses it’s camouflage to escape into highway and railway tunnels. Outsiders may be able to infer that despite being unable to fly, it is trying to travel to Seoul.
To make matters worse, Outsiders may run into… traps. It looks like someone has tried to set out hunting traps out here. They drop electric nets, shoot tranquilizer barbs, and more. Is this what has been keeping the Imugi down? Who put them out here?

WEAKNESSES: Piercing it in the gaps between its impenetrable scales. There is also a particularly weak spot under its chin that will deal significant damage if pierced.
EXTRA NOTES: From its initial appearance and behavior, specialists believe that this female Imugi could be in preparation to give birth or may have recently given birth. This appearx to be the female counterpart to the kaiju in Seoul— despite them both being the same type of kaiju, likely derived from the same rift, this kaiju seems slightly more agile and openly aggressive.
▶ 004. NO TIME TO REST - SEOUL.
It’s a two-front battle in Seoul and Busan.
Finally, in the late evening hours, the Seoul Team will successfully defeat the Imugi. Lotte World Tower collapses to the ground, bringing down more buildings with it. The water systems in the city are damaged and the streets begin to flood, mixing water with kaiju blood and turning acidic. Some of the evacuation centers were attacked in the chaos so Outsiders will have to rush to evacuate them again.
While it all seems like a standard aftermath, there is no time to rest. Scavengers emerge and try to plunder goods from the destroyed stores. They go into dangerous areas to retrieve luxury goods and expensive electronics they can resell for more Kryptos later.
However, some people have come and are trying to pick the Imugi corpse. They collect blood, rip off scales, hack off claws, and try to take whatever they can get their hands on. They may try to bribe an agent for an organ or to just look away while they pick at the remains. Some agents accept the bribes and others seem to be participating for themselves.
There has always been a black market for kaiju but this is a dragon. Anything they can get will surely sell for a lot of money.

▶ 005. NO TIME TO REST - BUSAN.
Meanwhile, in Busan, since the battle started later. It is still ongoing. Fortunately for them, they don’t have to worry about buildings collapsing on them. However, around evening, something happens. Everything goes still in the mountains. The air becomes electrically charged, the clouds grow darker, and suddenly the kaiju takes off into the air.
It lets out a loud, high-pitched screech that summons a sudden heavy downpour of acid rain and the sky flashes with lightning that touches down all around the outsiders. The air becomes heavy and some Outsiders may recognize it as a Rift opening up. They may also notice that the Imugi in the sky… is growing? It grows longer and larger and it looks down on the Outsiders with glowing eyes before it disappears into the Rift.
The female kaiju has escaped.
The mountains have been heavily exposed to the Rift which means characters can fall to Rift poisoning. Exposure to the Rift can result in increased headaches, vertigo, irritability and impulsiveness. They will be ordered to retreat for their own health and safety.

▶ 006. DECISION.
With the fight in Seoul completed, and the other Imugi having escaped, all Outsiders will be prompted to return to Seoul in order to regroup. Agents in Busan will have to tend to themselves and make do with what they have until help arrives. With the rail destroyed, aircraft will arrive from Seoul to provide aid and pick up agents in Busan. They will swiftly return to Seoul.
With parts of Seoul devastated by the attack, there won’t be much time to relax in leisure, especially as the higher-ups within LILITH seem to be under several discussions on their recent failure in allowing the second kaiju to escape. While it is the Outsiders who risked their lives on the front line, it isn’t to state that they’re only met with appreciation from the general public.
The branch in South Korea seems to be firm on the Outsiders and all borrowed LILITH operatives to remain in the city and help. Not only has the kaiju left ruin to a lot of the infrastructure in the city but crime has skyrocketed as a result of people trying to capitalize on the destruction. Without assistance, the entire city could fall into anarchy. On the opposing end, the Japan branch wants to prioritize tracking the kaiju while they are still able to, especially considering the Imugi's natural ability to camouflage and move stealthily from one country to another. They fear not acting swiftly will result in losing whatever trace they have.
…
A few hours after team Busan touches down in Seoul, all Outsiders will receive a message on their oculars. It will briefly explain the current situation and ask each Outsider to cast a vote on their next steps. There are two options that will be settled before them, either to: ASSIST the city of Seoul as best as they can before moving onwards, or to immediately CHASE after the recently escaped Imugi.
While that is happening, Seok Dang will have also disappeared. Considering his long history in the country, he naturally has the most connections. As a result, he is ordered to go out and seek specific pieces of information that the Japan branch isn’t privy to as a whole. While he’s firm on publicly stating he is staying around for a specific idol event (that is most definitely canceled), it’s clear he is attempting to look into the LILITH operatives that have been found dead in South Korea.
While those Outsiders in Busan were hit heaviest by the rift effects, the instability of the dual nature of two kaiju coming and going from Seoul and Busan have led to the presence of rift poisoning in Seoul as well. Because of this, Outsiders will be prompted to sit tight and await further orders while their peers recover.

▶ 007. AFTERWORD.
Welcome to fourth kaiju log!
Below will be two choices available, either to stay and ASSIST the city in its efforts to stabilize, or to CHASE after the escaped kaiju. Both results have their own pros and cons. Please keep in mind, this would be an IC decision, and so please keep that in mind before casting a vote. If you have multiple characters, you may cast a vote with each character. Additionally, while this does impact the aftermath or the following log's contents, it will not impact the general schedule. Voting will close at 12:00 AM GMT on August 22nd, to allow mods enough time to draft the next log.
As there are two kaiju, please comment below in the correct thread to get your hit in! In fairness, since only one kaiju is defeated, the final hit winner will be from Seoul, while two of the heaviest hitter will be from Busan, and one from Seoul in order to keep the numbers even.
All tags on this log are worth 2 points and will count towards August AC.

bakugou is being soft, beautifully soft — and, he wanted to take it as it was. a sweet exchange between two individuals who liked each other very much, he wanted to smile through it, maybe hide behind their usual foolery, smother his face with kisses, but he was still learning to get used to this side of his boyfriend. 'I'll do what I can to make sure those things get better' - ah, there it is. it's all he wanted, it's the unfair and heavy responsibility he oh-so selfishly dropped on the other's shoulders, promising himself bakugou could handle it. he could save him; it's what heroes do. they reach for your hand, save, and win. a pathetic part of him still wanted to keep pushing such expectations on the person he cared about the most, and he was fine with it, all good— until bakugou said it. until he heard it in his voice, caught the tone, the calm behind those red hues, the resolve, and-
- denji finally realized how cruel he was.
he sucked in a breath; fingers, gently, reaching out to curl over bakugou's hand. his name was on the tip of his tongue, but the half-devil held it back as the other boy moved to settle under their shared blanket. he kept his eyes on him the entire time, relaxing his shoulders soon after, face a bit flustered as he released his hand so bakugou could pull their bodies closer. he was almost lost for words, far too sedated into their embrace, and all he wanted to do was lean over, nuzzle his way through those blonde locks, and push them aside so he could leave a gentle kiss on his boyfriend's forehead. and— that's what he did, and it lingered a bit. ]
You already do ... [ in the end, he'd still want the hero to reach out to him, to save him, but denji is now conscious of not overwhelming him at the same time. the heavier secrets of his past or what awaits him back home, should not be his burden. he's learning there are other ways to protect bakugou now. as both settle in with the comforter pulled snugly around them, creating a cozy cocoon; denji closes his eyes, holding onto the warm body against his. it always came off as something that he desperately needed. there was a sense of dependency in the way he carried the embrace, not too hard but unmistakably deprived. even if bakugou pulled away from it throughout the night, he'd wake up to denji either holding onto his arm or fully glued to his side. it's about to get worse during the winter, too. be ready.
at least, denji didn't seem like he'd be doing anything more to disrupt his rest. he wasn't sleepy yet, far too overwhelmed with emotions, and too busy soothing himself with their embrace. it wasn't an easy day for him, but he was content to let his boyfriend sleep. ] ... I'll try in the morning.

the thing is, bakugo said it and he means it. there are prices that come with being a hero. he became a hero with dreams of kicking villain ass all day, earning praise and fame for his incredible power, until he was rich and wealthy, standing at the number one spot above everyone else! ... but over the past year, he's learned that's not what being a hero is about. heroes take uglier tasks as well. they're not perfect. they're not always successful. they're not even always right. hard truths he found out and had to swallow to make it forward. heroes weren't supposed to become heroes for themselves. heroes were heroes for others. what denji thinks is an unfair burden of responsibility on bakugou is really the very weight and responsibility he accepted when he said he would be a hero. this is the life he chose. it's the heaviness he shoulders of his own volition. denji thinks it's selfish, yet it's what bakugou wants. i'll handle what you can't. a world without trouble doesn't need heroes. people who can do everything on their own don't need heroes. whether he's saving denji, holding his hand, comforting him, or reaching into the pain to find the person he cares for so much... that's what being a hero is. no matter what expectation denji levies on him, bakugou is already willing to accept it. he doesn't think denji's being cruel, but rather trusting him to do what he promised.
he settles into denji's embrace, resisting for a few grumpy seconds before ducking a bit and nuzzling into his neck while the other boy sees to brushing his face in his hair and ghosting his lips across his forehead. bastard... using those inches between them to enjoy himself even more. mah, he'll get him for it later. lulling comfort pervades instead, the gentle pulse of his breath along his skin and the ever-relaxing beat of denji's heart against his chest. he loves feeling it. almost like a little wagging tail, happy and content.]
I'm not gonna stop either. [he'll keep making things better, from annoying orders to clean up his room to life lessons about heroics. no matter what, bakugou intends to continue reaching out to denji. if he feels overwhelmed by it, he'll likely tell his boyfriend, but the odds of that happening are extremely slim. other people can be handfuls, and so can denji, but unlike other people, bakugou's chosen to hold all of his boyfriend's 'handfuls' in his own. yet he won't demand and dig; those secrets and pains are denji's to reveal when he feels comfortable enough, or miserable enough, to finally open the pandora's box. luckily for denji, the weather's cooling off. winter will be here in a few months. bakugou's eternal disparage towards cold weather will see him far more willing to sleep amid his boyfriend's wrapping arms and legs. right now, this is better.
it hasn't been an easy day for bakugou, but he knows they need to rest for what's coming next. as much as he wants to stay awake and watch over denji's sleep, make sure he gets there, he won't treat him like a child. (this time.) trusting his presence will be a comfort to his boyfriend even without words. a soft hum brushes over the half-devil's neck as bakugou accepts that challenge.] Bring it on, Denji...
