INCOMING MESSAGE (NON-KIDNAPPED CHARACTERS ONLY)

[synfluxmods]

A CALL FOR HELP

▶ SUDDEN TRANSMISSION

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

🦸=❌
🐺💀🔨=less fog
👹=🦇🐺
🧑‍🌾=💩!
🏰=☠️!
go toget

@ ONESTEPFORWARD

We're okay for now. Careful of purple flowers. -🦆

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.

▶ 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.

Improvised bombs....

[busternaut]

something like that i guess, yeah.

[lostdestiny]

An explosion can be a signal flare if it's big enough

[ E.g., to get LILITH's attention if there's any assistance in visual range ]

[busternaut]

to flag down help?

thing is, LILITH has our goddamn coordinates; they needed them to drop off the mobile suits here. I would've expected them to show up by now, after losing contact with us for so long.

[lostdestiny]

They could be lost

A program’s running the mission, right? If it broke like the mobile suits then it might need help finding us

[ But lowkey a giant explosion would just make him feel better in light of the stress of having teammates MIA ]

[busternaut]

It is, but you'd also hope they'd have some human element at least keeping tabs and records back at base.

[........but it's LILITH, so. Maybe that's a little too much competency to hope for.]

[lostdestiny]

It's three people, a robot, and a cat

Not a lot of human element

[ C'mon, Dearka, "we should do a giant explosion" is the most consensus-building thing Shinn has said all month. ]

[busternaut]

...do you seriously think that seok dang, synthia and dr. spim are the only people that work there????

[Look he's not saying NO to the big explosion, he's just saying don't get your hopes up.]

[lostdestiny]

In command

Hell, maybe Commander Shiro is a robot, it’s not like any of you met him

[busternaut]

no, and he's damn lucky for that considering at least half this group would love to kick his ass.

[lostdestiny]

[ What is the overlap of the group that wants to kick Shinn’s ass? ]

I’m just saying they might all be robots and need help finding us!

[busternaut]

[just a guess: the venn diagram's probably not a perfect circle, but it's pretty close.]

I never said it was a bad idea!
