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.

Elaborating on the details of this curse would be helpful.

real simple. makes you want to hurt/kill our people. comes and goes at least hence why I'm not complaining too much about getting tossed in the barn

going to be hard to get much done if we're trying to off each other

[penaltypoints]

[ This really is more and more reminiscent of Lobotomy Corporation... ]

Thank you for your clarification.

[fursuit]

no problem. figured I might as well mention it since people are rightfully getting pretty bloodthirsty but that could backfire

which is against just about every fiber of my being just want to note. wish I could say go for it without reservations

[penaltypoints]

I see. Nevertheless, it's for the best that you have chosen to use your moments of lucidity to warn us.

WHAT IF I'M USED TO ALREADY WANTING TO HURT AND KILL PEOPLE

[fursuit]

you'll actually act on it is more the problem

[kaizou]

OH SO IT'S MORE LIKE MIND CONTROL

NOT JUST WANTING TO

I WAS GOING TO VOLUNTEER

SINCE IT WOULDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING FOR ME

[fursuit]

[ ...he hadn't really thought of that term because HIM? subject to MIND CONTROL?

......that's kind of what it was, huh.

he'll have that moment of introspection privately, thank you. ]

yeah wouldn't recommend it even if I'm more in less in the same boat as you

it's annoying. don't know when it comes or goes so.

they stuck me in the barn. sucks

[This next series of replies takes a really long time. There is so much typing...typing... with starts and stops. But finally:]

LILITH HAS A FAILSAFE

IF WE ATTACK EACH OTHER

THEY CAN SHUT US DOWN

BUT SOMETHING HERE IS INTERFERING WITH OUR TECH

I CAN'T PICK UP SIGNALS LIKE USUAL

DO YOU THINK IT'S THE FOG

IF IT IS I CAN KILL ALL THE VILLAGERS ONCE THE FOG IS GONE

LILITH CAN JUST SHUT ME DOWN WHEN I'M DONE

WHILE YOU GUYS ARE AT THE CASTLE

OR WHATEVER

[fursuit]

well based on what our other halves said seems like the skulls are probably a better place to start

but if that doesn't work? I don't have a problem with it exactly. might just have to put you down if you start lashing out at our own

also don't think many people would agree with the total scorched earth strategy though

[kaizou]

I WAS GOING TO SLICE THEM UP NOT SCORCH THEM
