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.
[At least one of them is happy? He can't stop imagining what his room's going to look like in a few days. Glitter in the bed, on the floor, in his food... The only good part is that if he does cool gestures or fights, he's gonna look damn fine.]
I look like a unicorn sneezed on me. How's that "not that bad?"
[He knows in his heart it's really not a big deal, but can he really be blamed for being a bit testy after everything?]
Oh yeah? Well in that case-- [He's just going to try hugging him, then! Spread the wealth!]
(Just plastic, he wants to say but before he can finish, he's being grabbed and he instinctively starts to shove him off. He isn't really a touchy-feely guy unless he's the one doing the touching.)
[Yeah, but sparkles. He's going to be laughed at by so many people! His dignity, ruined--! Not that he had much, but still. Beside the point!
Which is why he gloms on like an octopus, smooshing himself up against the other with a maniacal laugh and no small amount of contact. DIVINE PUNISHMENT!!]
Now you can look delicate and sparkly along with me! [Finally, he lets go, having transferred at least some of the glitter off. Mission accomplished!]
(Here he is, all covered in sparkles.... and he doesn't mind that at all. What he does mind is being accosted and he starts to smooth out his clothes and fix his appearance,)
[Seeming far too proud of himself for his handiwork, Yato snorts dismissively and also sorts himself out. It may be hard to be respectable when covered in glitter, but damn if he isn't going to try.]
Share the love, I say! Besides, if I squished you, I've got a doctor friend who could patch you up.
[How would that work for spirits and such, he has to wonder.]
So would you need to be reforged or something? You'd think they could've automated that process if nothing else. Though I suppose a proper smith would be more ideal.
[Okay he's sorry, but-- that mental image is pretty damn hilarious. Enough to make him laugh, anyway.]
Pfft! How about the washing machine? We could set you to the spin cycle and you could go for a ride!
[Still disrespectful and rude at times, it seems. Though that does make one wonder... will Roombas obtain their own kami someday? It's an interesting thought.]
[Okay, okay, enough teasing for now. He's had his fun and he doesn't want to come across as a total jerk.]
Don't worry~! I'm treating it just fine, polishing it up and everything. I'm only kidding, after all. Though usually my swords are shinki, so it's a bit different using a human-made sword.
[Booooo teasing him like that! So mean and cruel! But that's okay, he'll live and earn his own sword.]
Yup. It can be a real challenge, especially when they're younger. So taking care of a proper sword is like a vacation in comparison.
[Certainly you don't usually have to worry about whether a forged sword is going to opt not to cut all of a sudden, or might be going through something emotionally.]

It's not that bad!
(He lets out a laugh, loud and bright.)
It's only a month! It'll be over before you know it. And it looks so pretty, too.
(Holding up his hand and trying to brush away the glitter... it does not come off but he doesn't mind.)

Let go! Don't touch me...! Don't manhandle me! I'm precious! I'm delicate!

You didn't have to grab me so forcefully...

(He says so casually and he tries to brush off some of the sparkles. Ah, they don't really go anywhere. They just go to his other hand.)
no subject
[At least that's what he was lead to believe. Although...] What kind of doctor would you prefer?
no subject
(And he waves his hand in the air, sending glitter falling down....)
And this era doesn't have many smiths anymore. They're all robots and computer factories.

(Absolutley not. Even if it's been automated, he's not letting a fancy roomba do any maintenance on him.)
A human is better than a thing.
(He says... as the kami of a thing.)

(YATO, PLEASE... think about the swords.)
You should know how to take care of a sword! If this is how you'll treat them, give me back the one I loaned you!

no subject
Eh... I guess as long as you take care of the shinki, the sword is fine...
(Versus taking care of a sword to make sure the spirit is fine. Hm.)
It sounds difficult.
(Taking care of a thing is easier than taking care of another spirit.)
