▷ DECISION UPDATE

▶ OUTCOME: BURNING BRIDGES

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.

All tags on this log are worth 2 points and will count towards August AC.

I'm not a chef. Just an enthusiast for my home's cuisine.

Currently I'm trying to perfect my spicy chicken. You're welcome to have it with me. [ die. ]

I prefer food.

[transmit]

[ oh my GOD ]

I see!

[ in reality, it's more along the lines of: I

(long pause)



see ]

If you'll have me, why not?

Do you have any dietary restrictions or allergies?

[undrowned]

That doesn't seem very enthusiastic.

No, I do not have any such restrictions.

[transmit]

Why wouldn't I be enthusiastic about being able to join you on your journey to culinary perfection?
Maybe I'm just wondering where on the sliding scale of "this will literally be my first time making it" to "this deserves five stars and to be put in the menu of an award-winning restaurant" it falls under?

Either way, turning a nose up at someone's cooking is the fastest way to be gaudy.
Meals are about the company. We'd said as much back then, didn't we?

[undrowned]

I've only met one person so far who seemed genuinely excited about my cooking. So we'll see whether your deeds match your words, flatterer.

[ she WILL know! ]

[transmit]

[ yeah he'll die for it that's what (literal)

(CRYING) ]

Money where my mouth is, I get it, I get it.

What's your ETA by the way?

[undrowned]

Ten, unless you're willing to carry me.

1/2

[ bet! ]

Sure.

Where're you at?

[undrowned]

[ oh my.

rover drops a pin to her location. she's just making her way to the doors going out their base. ]

[transmit]

[ don't make jokes around elysium ]

It's going to take a little longer overall, but neither of us are in a particular rush, are we?
Sounds fun. Hang tight.

[ lo and behold! he shows up with flourish, landing down in front of her with a pivot of his heel as he spreads his arms out wide. with a breathy laugh and wink: ]

Surprised?

[undrowned]

- Not just yet.

[ rover smiles at him as he makes grand gestures in front of her. what a reliable guy, all things considered. ]

Let's see how good you are at transporting a lady. How should we do it?

[transmit]

[ Figures she wouldn't make it easy! A laugh——because really, he wouldn't have it any other way. ]

That's up to the lady, isn't it?

[ Imagine if he [ REDACTED] without her permission. Talk about uncouth…! ]

How would the lovely Miss Rover like to be carried? Or, do I have her consent to try and blindside her?

[undrowned]

You can carry me however you want; but if you drop me, I'm going to be very upset.

[ looks at him seriously with a smile. ]

I'll be evaluating your strength and form as well. So choose your stance wisely.

[transmit]

[ this is where he'd princess carry her if he were normal

alas

he is not normal. and so, he makes a sound of acknowledgement, tacitly agreeing to her terms. smiles. then, without additional warning--



throws her over his shoulder. yeah. fail him. ]

[undrowned]

[ oof ....... rover gives a slightly pained huff as she's hoisted over and ends up with a perfect view of the floor thanks to his flat ass. a nightmare. it takes her a while before she responds with, ]

.... four out of ten. The strength is there but your shoulders are certainly not wide enough to support my midsection. If I were a sack of potatoes, I'd be greatly offended and sprout within the hour.
