The decision has been made. LILITH Japan orders the Outsiders to mobilize to pursue the Imugi.
Given that they are in a foreign country, they are largely dependent on LILITH Koreaโs resources. In response to the decision, the Korean branch provides some assistance: the Outsiders are given just enough vehicles to help transport them, essential supplies, and only a few operatives to help guide them. This is the most the Korean branch is able to give, as they must focus on relocating people and restoring peace following the attack.
LILITH announces that the Imugi is currently resting near Gangneung on the east coast and they must move quickly. The effects of Rift poisoning will grow stronger as they approach the source; a sign that they are close to a kaiju. Upon reaching the mountains just outside the city, LILITH informs them that they are right on top of its location.
However, there is no Imugi to be found. After searching the area, Outsiders will discover the source of the trace and the poisoning: eggs. They will find about twelve eggs. When they report their findings, Seokdang will curse. In their rush, they had followed the wrong trace. They didnโt track down an injured and resting Imugi—they tracked down the Imugiโs nest. So where is the Imugi?
Not long after, Outsiders will receive an update on their implants: the Imugi reappeared in Seoul. After seeing the corpse of its mate, it went berserk and attacked the city again. While many of the citizens were evacuated to nearby Incheon and remaining shelters, just as many perished, with the death toll at 168,000 and rising. LILITHโs Korean base is destroyed.
The Imugi was last seen flying north, but the Korean government prohibits the Outsiders from pursuing it again through their territory. By choosing to pursue the kaiju, the Outsiders have abandoned humanity and thus will receive no further support. They are ordered to leave the country immediately.
LILITH Japan will order them to collect as many eggs as possible and continue to the abandoned city of Gangneung, where they will arrange pick up and return to base in Tokyo.
โถ AFTERWORD.
Thanks everyone for participating in our first major Event Decision! We hope you had fun discussing what to do both ICly and OOCly.
After failing to capture the second Imugi and also failing to save a large portion of Seoul's population, characters will be shipped back to Japan. The events of the TDM will springboard from there. Feel free to use this post to thread out any aftermath threads if you would like.
All tags on this log are worth 2 points and will count towards August AC.
Like hell! It's their fault that so many more people died, why shouldn't they get their face shoved into the consequences of their actions? It's not like I'm the one who voted to go! I gave a list of why we shouldn't!
[ and she! was right! by the wings, she was right!
and it turned out just like it had when she and the others faced angela! it didn't matter what she felt, what she thought, what they believed in, a compromise was struck and she dealt with the aftermath of that! ]
They can grieve their bruised egos and poor decision-making skills later... LILITH's included in that.
But if you push them too much while their emotions are high... They make take it as a personal attack. However justified it may be, we should still strive to avoid discord within our ranks. For the sake of future lives we may yet save.
And... I do not want for you to make enemies, Malkuth. You are a kind soul and I am afraid for you.
[ well, let them be attacked. whatever. this will be a regret malkuth can nurse later. ]
Eresh, I'm not scared of people hating me, or wanting to hurt me. That's how it's always been. I'm used to it, so don't worry. If they don't want to feel like this again, they'll actually listen to reason next time.
That shouldn't be how it always is, Malkuth! They won't listen to reason and you will be all alone! I tried and I couldn't get them to listen to anything! Now hundreds of thousand souls have passed and this is what we're doing?
she doesn't want to be alone. but it sucks. it blows. why couldn't they have gotten through to more of them? why does it always have to end up the same, no matter what she tries to do or say? ]

@goddess of death
Now is not the time.
Please let them grieve and recover. Then, we can discuss what we should do going forward.
