DOWNTIME MINGLE #5
DOWNTIME MINGLE #5
ā¶ 001. STATE OF THE BASE.
In light of recent events, Outsiders are provided with an ample amount of vacation time. While they are certainly permitted (and encouraged!) to continue their training or to participate in missions, Outsiders may use this downtime to facilitate their own funeral services as well as catch their breaths and be able to both physically and mentally heal from the traumatic events of Transylvania. This period of time is also to allow for any Outsiders who lost limbs during the last mission to get any necessary cybernetic surgeries and permit for proper recovery time before any missions going forward. As the enhancements are a difficult surgery, these individuals will be paired with an Outsider who will be their designated "nurse" and they will work in shifts to care and help those who received the surgeries.
In terms of the cure for those who are still experiencing symptoms of being turned into vampires, they will find clinical trials are now taking place with an experimental drug being offered in either pill or shot form. It is not the perfect fix, but it does subdue a lot of the side effects, making it easier for Outsiders to be able to walk around more freely without concern of losing control over themselves or their thirst for blood. The result of these clinical trials do seem to differ from individual to individual, however. Some side effects can cause an extended feeling of nausea, vertigo, shortness of breath, insomnia, and general feelings of exhaustion. It is suggested that those who receive this trial medicine do not drive any vehicles or enter the simulation room. All trial medicine seems to achieve a similar result, but need to be taken multiple times throughout the course of the month before actual results are seen. If one is diligent in taking the medicine, they will find that they will be reverted back to normal by the end of the month.
Additionally, there are also trial drugs being offered in America, and those who do take on the Las Vegas mission are also permitted to try them for pain relief. However, those drugs come with an additional side effect of causing strong hallucinations, and it is advised to take them in an enclosed area until the effects pass.
For those wondering about the status of the Imugi eggs the Outsiders were tasked to take care of prior to the Transylvania mission, they have been moved to a private nursery room that is inaccessible to Outsiders as they are expected to hatch soon. LILITH will be upfront with this information to Outsiders should they ask, and will also inform them that Outsiders will soon be able to visit them and be thanked for their hard work in taking care of the eggs.

ā¶ 002. WINNERS CIRCLE.
While it still appears to be a delicate time, in light of the success of the last mission there are a few decorations that can be found around base, as well as a handful of foods that were readily found in Transylvania which include actual meat dishes. The bulletin board is marked with the following:
While normally no one entertains the idea of consuming kaiju as a go-to, in light of the recent battle that the world has only heard about in whispers, a certain cookbook comes into existence. Itās unknown who the source actually is but it is rumored that someone who works closely with kaiju released it on the down-low. The cookbook features what appears to be recipes based off of both kaiju and other monsters always believed to be fictional, including hand drawn pictures. The chefās photo on the inside of the book looks eerily similar to someone that should be familiar to all the Outsiders.
The newest craze in Neo Tokyo is for a set of blind boxes sold only at POPPY MARTās within the city. The blind box features a beaked cyborg kaiju named āGIBUBUā— no one seems to know how this came about, but there are rumors a certain personnel at LILITH helped create it. GIBUBU can be seen wearing various outfits, including the secret rare version of him in a fuzzy brown suit dressed as a bear. Try and collect them all!
A series of strategic board games are released in which the pieces appear to be very similar to two particular Outsiders but in different color palettes. The virtual board game is a cross between monopoly and a strategy war game in which each party competes against one another to become the richest and strongest warriors, creating their very own empires. Apparently, the game itself has already sparked several strategy guides online! There is also a physical copy available, but it is released as a limited edition.
As the mission to Transylvania was optional and considered overtime, those who partook in the mission will receive a notification that 500,000 KRYPTOS (~3200 USD) has been deposited into their account.
GOOD JOB:
KENSUKE (K.O.)
FUTURETERROR (600)
BAD DADDY & TYPHON (600)

ā¶ 003. POCKY DAY.
The Halloween festivities run late into the first week of November, but while thatās all cleared and done away with by the second week, it doesnāt mean the holiday season ends there! Now that October's over, itās all about Pocky Day!
Neo Tokyoās craze for Pocky Day is only amplified with the new pocky dropping on the day of. While itās newly released on 11/11, they will be available all throughout the month of November. What someone didnāt say, however, is that this pocky was actually undergoing further research but was released far too early. Each stick of pocky has been made with certain biotech causing various types of reactions in people depending on its flavor. While thatās half the fun, itās also made a complete mess of the city.
So far, the known issues with each flavor are as listed:
While a lot of these flavors are to be reviewed and confiscated by both the companies and government agencies by the end of the month, they will be found littered throughout the city in the meantime.
OOC Note: You are 100% free to make up your own flavors and effects if youād like. As always, just make sure to mark each CW appropriately. By the end of November, it can be presumed theyāve all been taken off the shelves, but if people wanted to hold onto a box or two for the future, wellā¦ they canāt be stopped.

So far, the known issues with each flavor are as listed:
STRAWBERRY - Eating this particular flavor will make those who eat it kinder and more agreeable. They will find they will have difficulties saying no, and will do their best to make those around them happy! Wonderful with the holiday season around the corner.
MATCHA - Who knows why, but chomping down on this flavor makes one more likely to speak openly and truthfully about themselves, and also be inquisitive towards others.
BLACK SESAME - Those who consume this flavor become agitated and more prone to lashing out. Also if they have a grudge against someone, they may be more likely to act on these negative emotions.
ROSE - While itās not Valentineās day, taking a bite out of this one will certainly make one feel like it is! It increases one's general desire for affection and physical touch.
MELON - This will make one feel like they canāt sit still for a second. It will make them feel constantly antsy as if they need to impulsively jump into the next thing. Whatās the worst that can happen?

ā¶ 004. TFLN REDUX.
Those who have been with LILITH for some time may remember the ocular glitch that happened half a year ago. Thanks to an upgrade gone wrong, that very same glitch is now back.
It happens the first time, and several times throughout the week as your character goes about their routine. The sound of machine-like whirring, deep within their cranium, like a computer thatās in the midst of processing some new information. Then, thereās the familiar ping of a new public message, and whatever you were thinking about at that point in time will be plastered on the network for all to read and react to. Thinking about your recent health check results? Having a fun night out at a club? Regretting said night out at the club? Falling into a deep depression about how your life has turned out so far? It doesnāt matter when or where, because the system doesnāt discriminate. Youāll soon find the thoughts you were having during those moments posted on the network and you canāt delete them.
This is a TFLN-inspired mingle thatās been tweaked to make it completely canon to the game. Due to a glitch in the system, random thoughts that characters might be having throughout the week will be registered as network posts and posted in public for all to see and respond to. This can happen at any time as they wander around the main base or different Neo Tokyo locations!
HOW TO PLAY:
1. Write out prompts (example below) for others to respond to. These can be thoughts theyāre having in bed, at work, while intoxicated or what-have-you. You can look up shower thoughts or TFLN as inspiration, but remember that this will be game canon so it has to be written in your characterās voice.
2. Go around and respond to others!
3. ???
4. PROFIT!
Participation in this mingle isnāt obligatory, of course. If you donāt want your character to participate, you can simply assume the glitch did not affect them. We also have a code below for fun, but please don't feel pressured to use it. As always, a regular text thread works out just fine! Most importantly, have fun!
(Please remember to put warnings for NSFW/triggering content in the subject header.)

ā¶ 005. AFTERWORD.
Welcome to our fifth downtime mingle! All tags on this log are worth 2 points and will count towards November AC.
Those characters who are currently vampires can remain vampires until December 15. Ideally all characters will have ICly taken their medicines and been cured by the end of the month, but any stragglers will be rounded up by medical staff and forced to finish their series of drugs until they are healed.
Any character that lost an appendage during the last event can get a basic prosthetic for free without needing to spend reward points. Any additional upgrades will require points.
As stated in the post, players are welcome to come up with any additional Pocky flavors and side effects they would like. The ones listed above are merely suggestions.
For the LINE app, characters are welcome to customize their app with different themes, as well as download sticker packs. Anything that you would typically expect to be present in a messaging app can be found!

EVENT BREAKDOWN/RECAP (CLICK TO EXPAND)
1. STATE OF THE BASE: Outsiders are back on base after a long and harrowing mission. They are given time off to see to their own needs, which can include: preparing for funerals, getting surgeries for prosthetic limbs, and general R&R. There is also a trial cure being developed to combat the symptoms of vampirism in Outsiders, which all infected Outsiders are required to take. The Imugi eggs are expected to hatch soon and have been moved to a private nursing room so that they won't be disturbed.
2. WINNERS CIRCLE: The heavy hitters/KO winners of the last kaiju fight receive their sponsorships, including kaiju-focused cookbooks, strategy board game sets, and strange little dolls.
3. POCKY DAY: New shipments of Pocky fill the shelves of Neo-Tokyo; however, some of these Pocky shipments have been tampered with, causing anyone who eats them to suffer from a variety of side effects. All affected Pocky will be rounded up by the end of the month and disposed of.
4. TFLN: Outsiders' ocular implants glitch, leading them to send out stray messages and thoughts unprompted.
@Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight
Oy! What's going on? Where are you?
Oops, busted
What? I'm just in my room, why
[...oh. The texts. Ugh...]I uh. It looks like the implant posted a nightmare. I'm alright.
[Nothing new here honestly. When will this glitch be over...]Dun dun dundun!!
You're still having them.
[Not a question. And since he doesn't want Dan Heng focusing more on them.]
This shitty implant problem's gonna last way too long.
Mortifying ordeal of being known fr
...I've always had them. It's not a big deal.
[Transylvania sure didn't help their severity but...at least he can wake up from them.He sighs, leaning back.]
It's a pain. Has this happened before?
What a pain to have people who care
Even if you focus on something else before you sleep?
[Can't fault the guy for the drain on his energy. He's had nightmares before and they fucked with his sleep big time.]
Once before. They said they fixed this fucking shit.
Truly how do we survive... (one more of these short ones then attacking longer replies)
Yes. It helps sometimes, but the dreams often return to...darker topics. [He's tried many methods of improving sleep; tea, music, tiring himself out 'til he drops...Dr. Spim's purring has been pretty helpful, but...it's a mixed bag most of the time. ] I imagine this is a side effect of those experiments on me long ago Jing Yuan mentioned. It's no wonder vidyadhara aren't meant to remember their past lives if this is the case. And with Transylvania being so similar to those times....it's getting cold. Like back there...
......that was not supposed to send. Delete. Delete. Ugh. Sorry.
[Poor Bakugo. It's not fun. It's basically a chronic condition here! A better routine would help, probably, or do the nightmares screw up the routine regularly? Hard to know. ]
Great. Fantastic. Well, it's not totally out of the question that it'd glitch again I suppose. How....long did it last before?
We're stubborn folk. (attack them mercilessly)
Tch, it's fucking stupid you have to deal with someone else's past.
[Not Dan Heng's fault at all, yet he's saddled with the nightmares of his past and another person's.]
Would you sleep better if you were warmer?
[Kind of a weird question, but considering dragon = reptile = cold blooded, maybe there's something to be said about that? It's worth a try at least. There's no getting rid of them, apart from knocking Dan Heng unconscious, since that's a much deeper realm than simply sleeping.]
A few days. Less than a week. It was months ago.
Indeed. Gotta be, or no one will get help!! (I tried but like DH I am big tired always)
.......]
It is. It's exhausting and I hate it.
[No point denying that. ]Better me than someone else. My sister has it bad enough. And...I suppose remembering keeps me from making his same mistakes...
[Still sucks though.....another pause.]...Probably. I think Vidyadhara generally hibernate when it gets too cold, but I'd prefer to. Not. Do that. Cold has too many bad associations. The Preceptors would utilize that so I wouldn't- STOP SENDING THAT.
[Not weird at all! The dropping temperatures are doing no favors for the reptillian/amphibious Outsiders around here, Dan Heng's trauma aside. And hey punching his lights out is a good plan C? Lmao.]...........
Elysium kindly brought over a heated blanket, but are there space heaters around base? Hm...but would that use too much electricity?
Right. OK. So it can be fixed. Just need to ride it out then. Put out social fires in the meantime. OK.
Ah but help is overrated today. (Sleep, it does the soul good.)
There's no way to extract those memories in your world?
[He ignores the comment about "better me than another" because Dan Heng's been like that since he met him. Glossing over his own frustrations and suffering like a stubborn hero sacrificing himself for the sake of others. It can be real damn annoying when you're the one concerned about that stubborn hero! Though he's not gonna argue the reluctant benefit of learning from someone else's mistakes... but is that really worth the price Dan Heng has to pay? He doesn't think so.]
Che. Try sleeping over in my room. I'll make sure you're warm enough.
[Which might sound a little, uh... forward, but Bakugo means more the company of someone Dan Heng trusts and a warm nest with blankets, maybe even a heat lamp, or a space heater. He doesn't mind sleeping in a warm place.]
As if they fucking "fixed" it last time.
[Oy, Bakugo. It's been 6 months! If something breaks twice a year with relatively simple issues, that's not horrible. Melodramatic perfectionist...]
Help only overrated for today? Hm... (I did; my cat cuddled with. Also good for the soul!)
....I'm sure there's a way. But even if there was, I'm not sure I...I'm not sure it'd help. Or it might cause more problems in other ways. [He thinks of March trying so hard to reclaim her forgotten past, how unfair it would be for him to just dismiss his own. He thinks of little Bailu with the heavy shackle on her tail at all times, a fail-safe the Preceptors say, but how it fills him with anger every time he sees it. Would he forget her? Would she be alone in all this? There are...good memories, too, ones he probably doesn't deserve. But with so many lost or driven to madness by what Dan Feng did, it. It doesn't feel right, to walk free of it.
...thankfully all THAT overthinking doesn't spill over. It all kind of scrapes to a halt at the next question. He blinks. Wasn't expecting that. ] Are you sure? I mean- I'm willing to try it, I just. [If Bakugo's saying it then he means it, he always does, but Dan Heng still finds himself asking. He trusts him. And he's so tired of waking up thinking he's back there again; cold, alone, trapped underground where no one will find him ever again. Awake he knows that's not true. It's reminding his subconscious that's the hard part. But. But. Bakugo's a friend. He's been a very good friend to Dan Heng in this place. The dragon doesn't want to cause more problems than he already has.] I don't want to intrude? [Say you've never had a sleepover without actually saying it why don't you Dan Heng...(sorry he's being skittish just yell at him idk)]
Things can get fixed and break again. Like a sink. [Except this "sink" is in their brains but well!!! ]
Help tomorrow. Help yesterday. But never help today. (Cat cuddles are best.)
[On the one hand, Bakugo's not someone who thinks "getting rid" of problems is a good way to deal with them. Conquering them, solving them, owning them, blowing them to smithereens. But these aren't Dan Heng's problems! They're some shitty guy's stuck in his head. He should be able to ditch them without an issue. Two lives in one head? Fuck.
Dan Heng mentioned those memories could help him avoid making the same mistakes, but that sounds more like a self doubt problem. He should have more faith in his own decisions and intelligence rather than relying on someone else's problematic life.]
Did you go blind? I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it.
[At least the dragon says he's open to the idea. How many of their captured allies suffer every sleeping night and waking morning, wrestling with fear behind their closing eyes all of this is a torturous dream and their next light will bring back the bloody bricks and chains... Has Dan Heng been sleeping alone through all of that day after day? Yeah, fuck that. He can sleep in his room with the comfort of another presence until his brain's convinced it's not some shitty dream.]
How the fuck can you intrude if you're invited?! Bakaryu!
[Fucking hell. Learn the word!]
A sink?
[That's an odd analogy to pick out. Had some trouble with sinks in your life, Dan Heng?]
What if I need help all the time...adulting is hard (They sure are! Esp in this cold weather...)
.....Yes.
[Why'd you have to think about it, Dan Heng...]
There are things only Dan Feng would have known, which might be needed later. Or it'll be easier to take advantage of the current high elder if all past knowledge is lostā¦she didn't. I don't think she gained any of those memories. [He means like. State secrets. But even these are weak argumentsā¦the archivist should know there are ways to store such information. Bottom line it's mostly a guilt thing. No one is surprised!
Besides, alot of the memories causing nightmares are from this life. Some of it consequence of the past, yes, butā¦it feels wrong, somehow, to just get rid of it all. Even hypothetically.] ā¦Even if I could, itās not something I feel I should hide from anymore. [Itās a mess, but one he knows well by now. Heās used to handling it.
Which is why the offer to sleep over is taking Dan Heng a bit to absorbā¦]
Iā¦no. Iām not blind. [....that was likely rhetorical.] Sometimes peopleā¦feel obligatedā¦then again thatās like not you either. Alright. Alright.
[He has been sleeping alone. Everyoneās recovering in their own ways. Dan Heng should be better by now. Just shutting himself away to weather the stormā¦itās worked before. ā¦..mostly. Maybe. No need to impose on others orā¦ā¦
ā¦ā¦ā¦heās so tired.]
Itās notā¦fully night yet but. Can I. Is it okay if I come over now?
[The dragon sighs, tossing a blahaj (he still doesn't know why Tsuru dumped so many plush sharks on him...) into subspace in preparation, along with a favored blanket. Heās not sure if he needs to bring things. Just in case.]
My first thought was a synthesizer actually. A friend kept breaking it back at home. [Bless your heart March. Orion sticking trash in it constantly also didnāt helpā¦ā¦ā¦] But sinks are more commonā¦I donāt know. Iām tired, it was the first common breakable appliance I could think of.
Push on through! Victory over adulting! (Yes indeed.)
[Because yes, Dan Heng makes good points on why having someone else's memories would be a good idea. Having to rely on writings or passed-down secrets is a shitty limitation compared to having access to said person's memories. But forcing that into someone else's mind while they try to live their own life? Fuck. Use better magic and find a way, dammit!
Or make the condemned write down everything before you off them in the ocean. However that worked.]
Are you saying that because you want to make it your own or because you're punishing yourself?
[Keeping a burden to overcome it is one thing; leaving the shackles on because you think you "deserve" their inhibiting weight is a shitty alternative. He doesn't propose to know Dan Heng intensely well, but he's gathered there's an undercurrent of guilt and self-worth going on in his life. And ironically the dragon uses "obligated" for that other feeling. Look who's talking. Bakugo only arches his brow at the air in front of him, as if he could smack the guy in the face with it.]
I'll make a bed up.
[No argument? Then the deal's set. He knows all about keeping to himself to handle his struggles, healing, and more. But if these damn extras are allowed to drag him out of his own sequestered recovery, then fuck it, he's allowed to demand that too! It's not gonna do anyone a favor if Dan Heng's in a shitty spiral downward while trying to heal.]
Door's open.
[Don't ask why Tsurumaru does anything. The guy likes bothering people with his own brand of cheer. Sometimes it works, sometimes it exasperates or pisses people of. Bakugo's almost always in the latter-most category.]
Whatever. I'll have a pot ready, so bring whatever tea you want.
[He's not asking about your sink-scapades.]
