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.
[ where most people brushed off as less important, and she would have herself once upon a time. that doesn't solve a problem in an efficient manner; relations with others was nothing but an unnecessary timesink, put to better use elsewhere. like creating power.

Oh, well. We'll figure something out. Let LILITH and the rest lick their wounds and suck on that sour feeling for a while, they'll think twice about rushing in without confirming their info. For now... maybe a memorial or vigil, or... something sentimental, to give our consolation at their loss. What do you think? I'm no Hod, but I've got some ideas.
[ ... the other thing is how everyone claims to feel a scapegoat, but that's just how it is. there's no point in being angry over that. ]
[ Like Malkuth, Yesod is no Hod, far from it, although his secret gestures were as meaningless as her overt ones in the facility. Ever since he spoke with Gebura, saw Kali's final moments in her relived memory, he has thought of Michelle from time to time, however, absent from that scene of carnage. He has thought of Hod, and of their disagreements.
He tilts his head slightly, prompting Malkuth to continue. ]
This is all with the stipulation of LILITH's permission and endorsement, of course... but we could do care packages, go in small groups to aid where we could -- especially with healing and rebuilding, fund a memorial with the names of those lost or yet to be found... Something to show them that we hadn't meant for it to come off as abandoning them, and that their sorrow is shared.
[ something like that
while there's still people who feel slighted by the Korean branch itself, and the people there. a soft huff. ]
Once everyone calms down, it'll be easier to suggest stuff like this to the base as a whole -- and maybe they'll have some ideas themselves.
