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.
Isn't singing's the closest someone can get to screaming without attracting the odd look or two around these parts? Maybe if we were to reframe it that way we'd get people more interested.

Still, I don't think there's anything wrong with anyone wanting to bask in the atmosphere instead. So long as there's enough people to carry their weight and then some, sometimes… all people want is a feeling of belonging. I don't think we're doing anything too crazy. Just trying to let off some steam, yeah?
… But you can say it how it is. Does this have anything to do with Ishmael and her rather dynamic personality?
Hey, it's not my business if a stranger is screaming thier lungs out to vent back at home. You gotta let folks do that sometimes if it helps them keep going.
[Of course there is a chance that screaming means something else but... Let's not think that!]
You are right... People want some sense of belonging. Still, with these tensions, we got to be careful so we don't make more rifts among us. We are all in the same boat here and it will get ugly if we start to go against each other.
I have seen Ishmael pissed off and losing herself to mania several times. I want her to relax too, you know? If we can create multiple karaoke sessions to avoid any sour moods between certain people, it would be for the best.
Heheh. I'm just kidding. I do think karaoke's a good avenue for it in general, though. Not everyone's brave enough to do it or cognisant enough to realise they're internalising all their struggles. Sometimes, you gotta provide them the avenue to let loose without knowing it all while keeping our own mouths sealed.
[ MA'AM? ]
And I agree, I agree. After their showing, I'd rather not be on the tail end of either of their wraths if I can help it. Tensions are high and there's no dictating how someone should feel after such catastrophic results; I don't think any less of them for vocalising their frustrations, but a public avenue prooooobably wasn't the best place for it…
Either way, I was going to suggest the same if you ever brought up their names in conjunction together. Any other relationships like theirs that you think I should know about?
Mhm. I totally get venting and letting out steam, but there is a time and place for some frustrations!!! Getting the wrong crowd mixed in with your venting will be bad!
[No worries!!!!]
Not that I know of? They are pretty much the big two in my mind. I'll do what I can to give Ishy some peace and relaxation when we are together. She has free permission to sleep over at my place at any time so I will make it extra fun for her as we chat, relax, and deal with these feelings together. Anyways! Do you got a place in mind for karaoke? There are like tons of them around Neo Tokyo, aren't they? Any places that could take a potentially big crowd?
Partying it up in Redemption without your neighbourhood Elysium? A guy's going to feel lonely!
Just kidding, just kidding. It isn't about me. But if your party's got room for another, you should let me know. At least, when you guys have gotten all the bygone feelings out that are meant for just the two of you.
Let's see… What do you envision our numbers ending up being? There are entire rooms we could book, but your sense of scale wouldn't happen to be as skewed as Miss March's, would it?
