On the 13th of October, the network flickers online and several messages pop up. Outsiders will probably recognize the usernames attached to them.
@ KIJYO
castle in the fog skulls watching us sacrifice help us
@ GOLDILOCKS
wolf kaiju Promises protection Found broken radio
@ BANKERBOY
๐ฆธ=โ ๐บ๐๐จ=less fog ๐น=๐ฆ๐บ ๐งโ๐พ=๐ฉ! ๐ฐ=โ ๏ธ! go toget
@ ONESTEPFORWARD
We're okay for now. Careful of purple flowers. -๐ฆ
Some Outsiders might notice these usernames to be Lucy/Kaede, Taryon, Nanami and Malkuth respectively. The messages end there and there will be no way to contact the senders or anyone who has gone missing. While Outsiders in the town will be able to use the network to speak to each other, the reception will be spotty and the messages might be delayed. It might be more efficient to simply meet up in person.
โถ AFTERWORD.
The messages from the kidnapped characters are out! Thank you everyone for participating! Non-kidnapped characters may use this log to have discussions (or do whatever else might be relevant). As previously mentioned, after the 7th, they will not be able to contact any kidnapped characters, and their messages to each other will be spotty or delayed (which can make for funny shenanigans if you prefer). It is probably much easier to organise an in-person meeting, but we will leave it to you to do what you like. The townsfolk convene at the church for their daily prayers and worship at about 12 noon every day. Outsiders may use this time away from the townsfolk to have more private discussions.
We have put this up early to allow people more time to thread in it, but ICly it is going up on the 13th and will lead up to the Kaiju log on the 15th. These messages are also delayed. Whether or not the captives actually are 'okay' is up in the air ...
All tags on this log are worth 2 points and will count towards October AC.
It seems the right time as you have made your movements at last.
Your inability to offer defense of yourself is further damning. We shall perhaps add your skull to the pile for smashing alongside that of your canid alpha, yes?
It is none-terrestrial, its motives are suspect to begin with.
I have smelt the stench of betrayal on it when I questioned it to its face. This aside it has publicly stated disdain for fighting the kaiju on the mind-writing network.
It courts one of the missing who would have not gone easily.
Questioning shall reveal if it is truly innocent or complacent in these happenings. I require only one of the human's hours alone with it to get the truth.
I am not speaking to a packmate, I am speaking to one that has made itself an enemy.
I was fooled into letting it go weeks past. I shall not be fooled again. I will not allow my Friends and packmates to be harmed by a spineless little insect's plotting.
[Hard to emphasize that over text, but if the network were functioning well enough for voice he'd be saying it in the most adamant, stubbornest tone he can muster. He's not fucking around about this.]
So I definitely should've spoken up about this way sooner than now, but better late than never, I guess. Listen: You need to cool it, you need to lay off El, and you need to reassess who the real enemy is here.
I've been following some of this drama between you two for a while now. You're damn convinced that this guy's a traitor. But that's based off of WHAT? Some shit he said over the network one time, right after we'd all just gotten back from the shittiest and most stressful failure of a mission we'd had yet? Think about this for a second. I know you know humans, you've been watching us for ages, yeah? So you know our words are complicated things. Sometimes we just say shit that doesn't actually match our intentions, or what we feel in our hearts. Some of us are downright allergic to sincerity. That's why humans have that saying, that 'actions speak louder than words'. So on that note, let me remind you that I was actually there in Busan for that fight, same as he was. I can vouch that he was out there fighting that imugi like hell. He had all our backs the whole time, and I was goddamn grateful for it.
You want us Outsiders to all work as a unit, yeah? Hunt as a pack, with you as a trusted leader? Well if you're gonna lead, you need to trust your packmates as much as THEY trust you. That means you gotta try and listen when someone tells you your hunch is off, or if you're taking something too far. If you disregard them? That's disrespectful. That tells the people under you, tells your friends that you have no faith in them, that you think nothing of their ability to judge and act in their own best interests. I know you know this, but it bears repeating, y'know?
Lucy trusts you. I trust you. We also both trust him. Are you going to trample all over that? I can only hope that you don't think that little of me, but do you also think that little of her?
Hypothetical question, of course, because I know you don't. You care about Lucy. You trust her. So you might want to start acting in a way that actually reflects that.
[ Elan almost sends 'you're deluded' back, but deletes it because he's kinda learned a lesson about escalating, and there's more serious shit going on right now that bringing their personal fight into it is stupid. He types and retypes because trying not to sound like a snide asshole is NOT natural. ]
why the hell would i kidnap kaede? starting a witchhunt against me is wasting precious time that could be used to find her you want me to smash some skulls to prove it or what
I care not what you do. Trusting any of your actions is foolish at this time. Perhaps I shall be proven wrong. This I doubt.
Keep yourself from my path if you wish to preserve your hide. This should not be difficult, self preservation is the only skill those of your nature possess.
Pilot. A confession. I have been acting the fledgling fool ๐ค. This ends now ๐. The safety of my Friends is what matters ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐. Not my distaste for you ๐๐จโโ๏ธ
I admit my folly. Friend Kaede trusts you, this should suffice for the time. We will cooperate, yes ๐ฆ๐ค๐๐จโโ๏ธ?
But it seems like things are going okay for now, so Siffrin's flopping back on his bed suddenly exhausted. His family members never fought. Conflict is so hard to handle. ]
[ Elan saw all that, and he's kinda amazed Dearka managed to talk sense into Godzilla. It's tempting to send a sarcastic message back, trying to come up with a measured response void of shitty attitude that would burn down this bridge held together by duct tape is posing a challenge for him. It's not how he's wired! Eventually, he settles on using the least words possible. ]
their safety is what matters ๐ค ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐โ ๐ฅ๐ฅโช๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐พ๐ป

We must find and restrain that one. It might know exactly where its allies have taken our packmates. I will gladly lead the hunt for it.
