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 Korea’s 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 didn’t track down an injured and resting Imugi—they tracked down the Imugi’s 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. LILITH’s 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.
▶ 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.

(Ah. He leans in so much, he's probably going to throw off Aki's balance walking at first. It'll be easy enough to adjust when tsurumaru is still trying to keep upright. It's just nice, he thinks, to have someone he can lean on.)
(Eyes glancing over at Aki, quietly wondering, studying carefully as if he's thinking of something that won't be said... and he squeezes his hand back in turn, firmly,)
[ Aki’s expression lifts a little. He’s happy about the concession, the promise of a date, but… The time is sour, and his heart is still heavy from all the losses. It’s still too much. ]
(He wonders how LILITH is going to pick them up. By sea? By air? And he looks over towards the main path for the beach where no doubt, more people are probably sulking about.)
[ Nodding, he tugs on Tsurumaru's hand and starts to lead him away from the others, to find a quiet place to settle. He just wants to be here with Tsuru, so... ]
[ A nice little bit of time together... Aki's arm wraps around Tsurumaru on instinct, barely thinking of it, mind distracted by the idea of an overnight break. Like when he went to Hokkaido...

Popping shower (Creamy mint ice cream with pop rocks.) And strawberry cheesecake.
(Because it's white and red. His two favorite colors.)
no subject
I'll get him both, then.
[ As a treat. ]
no subject
And don't be cheap.
(Humming,)
I want to go with you, too.
no subject
[ He’s rarely cheap with Denji these days. ]
Shall we go there on a date first? Then I can find my favourite too.
no subject
Go with Denji-kun. And later, you can surprise me with your favorite.
no subject
[ A squeeze of his hand. ]
But it’ll still be a date.
no subject
A date.
(Maybe next time...)
no subject
What do you want to do now?
no subject
(Quietly,)
I don't know what I want.
(Or maybe he does but he can't quite put the words to what he's feeling.)
no subject
[ He just wants to spend a little more time together. ]
no subject
... Somewhere quiet.
no subject
There'll be somewhere over here.
no subject
How long do you think it'll be until they take us back?
(How much time to they have to vibe in this town....)
no subject
[ Given the fact that they 'abandoned humanity' and all that. ]
It'll be as fast as they can make the arrangements.
no subject
(It isn't so bad.)
The sooner we get back the better. I miss my bed. I want to take a bath again.
(He hasn't had a proper bath in days......)
no subject
[ Aki could book them a room overnight, he thinks... That might be nice. Something nice and quiet, where they won't be bothered. ]
I'm looking forward to a few days to try and relax.
no subject
Mhm. A trip would be nice. I'll look forward to it.
(Something better to look forward to after this no good mission. And once they have a quiet place to sit and rest, he'll lean against him.)
no subject
[ A nice little bit of time together... Aki's arm wraps around Tsurumaru on instinct, barely thinking of it, mind distracted by the idea of an overnight break. Like when he went to Hokkaido...
It'll be good. ]
I'll wash your hair.
