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.
[ Geto's always cared too much. that's how his problems started in the first place, isn't it? Gojo also cares too much even if it's in a more abstract manner sometimes. still, the two idiot senpais care deeply. that's why it's so painful for them. ]
( To stay, to fit into this new shape, to let himself become something new. He's not very good at showing that, nor is he even certain it's for the best. But he has been doing it, slowly, agonizingly. )
Sometimes it's hard. I haven't been around many people beyond my family in years, Nanami-san. Them or the cult. And that doesn't require a lot of normal behaviour. I don't always remember how to be. But I'm making an effort.
( Unfortunately he's also a bitch with something wounded in him, so it doesn't always work. )
[ the will to change. that's what he's always admired about his seniors, all three of them. the will and ability to twist themselves into something new, something they felt fit them better.
Nanami has never managed to follow their example, stuck forever with the terribly disillusioned and irreparably shattered heart of his second year self. too afraid to let loose and go wild because he's seen what it does to sorcerers. he's not like them, not at all - or so he keeps telling himself. it's part of the reason why he's never achieved a domain expansion. ]
Things like that take time. Nobody is asking you to turn yourself inside out instantly, Geto-san.
[ at least Nanami isn't. in fact, he hasn't asked for anything, has he? ]
Take it easy. There's no use in beating yourself up or forcing it. Some days will be easy, others will be shit. Just don't run.
[ setting down his glass, he lets his gaze settle on Geto's face. ]
If you run again, I'll hunt you down and drag you back like a dog.
( It feels horribly like relief, and it's not something he wants to look at too closely, too afraid of what he might find out if he does. So instead he just rolls his shoulders, narrows his eyes a little. )
Fine, fine. Drink your drink. Aiy, I used to be respected.
( He likes the frankness more, either way. And eventually he hums. )
It's really good to see you again. I hope you know that.
[ but Geto has always commanded respect one way or another, so unlike Gojo who needles and provokes as if being loathed is scratching some kind of unscratchable itch. he snorts softly at the other man's words and pushes the bottle towards him. ]
Take your own advice, Geto-san, and drink your drink before you say something you'll regret.
( Not necessarily what he means, but everything is calculated. There's no harm in showing Nanami that fondness. He's not going to get anywhere by being aloof.
He tops up his glass happily, then Nanami's. )
Though if I get drunk I'm blaming you. I'm already in enough trouble. I don't need any more.

Then stay this time.
[ gaze on the glasses as he refills them. ]
With us. It'll be fine.
