DOWNTIME MINGLE #5
DOWNTIME MINGLE #5
▶ 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.

▶ 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. It’s 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 chef’s 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 MART’s within the city. The blind box features a beaked cyborg kaiju named “GIBUBU”— 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)

▶ 003. POCKY DAY.
The Halloween festivities run late into the first week of November, but while that’s all cleared and done away with by the second week, it doesn’t mean the holiday season ends there! Now that October's over, it’s all about Pocky Day!
Neo Tokyo’s craze for Pocky Day is only amplified with the new pocky dropping on the day of. While it’s newly released on 11/11, they will be available all throughout the month of November. What someone didn’t 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 that’s half the fun, it’s 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 you’d like. As always, just make sure to mark each CW appropriately. By the end of November, it can be presumed they’ve all been taken off the shelves, but if people wanted to hold onto a box or two for the future, well… they can’t 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 it’s not Valentine’s 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 can’t sit still for a second. It will make them feel constantly antsy as if they need to impulsively jump into the next thing. What’s the worst that can happen?

▶ 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 that’s in the midst of processing some new information. Then, there’s 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 doesn’t matter when or where, because the system doesn’t discriminate. You’ll soon find the thoughts you were having during those moments posted on the network and you can’t delete them.
This is a TFLN-inspired mingle that’s 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 they’re 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 character’s voice.
2. Go around and respond to others!
3. ???
4. PROFIT!
Participation in this mingle isn’t obligatory, of course. If you don’t 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!

▶ 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.

It is of little surprise. Humans have a word for everything, it seems. Often more than one 😮💨.
I have also seen the term "Monster Fucker" in use, for example. They can not help but over do things one supposes 🤷.
no subject
THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM
HUMANS THAT ARE LIKE THAT
SO I GUESS I'M NOT SURPRISED THERE'S A WORD
IT'S FANCIER THAN I EXPECTED
I LIKE MONSTER FUCKER
THE WORD
ALSO THE HUMANS
no subject
Indeed? You have experience with such humans 🤨?
[ Gigan's never really struck Godzilla as the mating type. Like. At all. More the, fighting as a fully exclusive outlet, type. ]
no subject
IT'S A LONG STORY
PRETTY CRAZY TOO
BUT IT WAS A WHOLE THING
A MISSION I WENT ON
ABOUT PEOPLE LIKE THAT
THAT'S WHEN I FOUND OUT THE TRUTH ABOUT HUMANS
THEY'RE FREAKY
❤️
[He does mean to send the heart. The next line of emoji is an accident:]
🌨️🧜♀️🌟📖🧜♀️🚂🌨️🌟🌨️📖🌟🌟🧜♀️🧜♀️🌨️
[And after a moment:]
OOPS
no subject
And these "freaks". You were tasked with their removal 🤨?
Or their... assistance 🤔? I am unclear on your meanings, Friend of Mine.
no subject
I FIGURED THEY MUST HAVE CALLED ME IN TO KILL THEM
THAT'S THE ONLY THING ANYONE'S EVER CALLED FOR ME FOR BEFORE
IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS WHAT I AM
IF YOU LOOK AT ME
BUT ACTUALLY THEY WANTED ME TO GO ON DATES WITH THEM INSTEAD
no subject
GIGAN of all beings was specifically chosen to seek romantic involvement with humanoids. Gigan. This is one of those things that's leaving Godzilla questioning a lot about himself. ]
This is an unusual task to be called for 🤔. You found it to be enlightening?
no subject
IF YOU'RE ASKING IF I HAD A GOOD TIME
YEAH I DID
ONCE I FIGURED OUT I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO KILL ALL OF THEM WE GOT ALONG JUST FINE
BETTER THAN FINE
[And after a pause, a couple of texts that are slower to come, but not accidental:]
I WANT TO SEE THEM AGAIN
BUT I CAN'T RIGHT NOW
no subject
[ He's not going to get into the fact that he's pretty sure they're still there. Gigan is a lot of things, a big thinker? Not so much. Godzilla's pretty sure the concept would only trouble the space goose. ]
Take heart. This war shall not last forever. Once victory is achieved we are free to return as we please, I am sure 👍.
no subject
IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S BEEN THAT LONG
I'VE TAKEN NAPS LONGER THAN THIS
BUT TIME FEELS DIFFERENT
AROUND PEOPLE
AND WHEN YOU'RE SMALL
IT'S WEIRD HOW FAST THINGS HAPPEN FOR HUMANS
AT THE END WE SET THINGS UP SO WE COULD VISIT EACH OTHER EVEN ON OTHER PLANETS
MOST OF US ANYWAY
EXCEPT SOMEONE WHO RAN AWAY
I WON'T LET HIM GET AWAY FOREVER
BUT I LIKE IT HERE TOO
I'M NOT IN A RUSH
IT'S JUST WEIRD THAT SHORT TIMES FEEL SO LONG NOW
I DON'T THINK HUMANS CAN UNDERSTAND HOW WEIRD THAT IS
no subject
I understand your meaning. Their lives passed quickly in my world of origin, one was very much like the other.
However being their size, being amongst them, knowing them. This changes much, not all for the better 😔.
The only ones that come close to understanding is those that call themselves gods. Friend Ereshkigal as an example 💀🖖. The others have no way to know what it is to be Old.
no subject
💀🖖
CUTE
I DON'T KNOW HOW HUMANS HOLD ALL OF IT IN THEIR BRAINS
HOW FAST THINGS GO AND HOW MANY OF THEM THERE ARE TO KNOW
COMPARED TO US
MAYBE THAT'S WHY THEY DON'T LIVE LONG
THEY'D BE EVEN CRAZIER IF THEY HAD TO DO THAT FOR AS LONG AS WE LIVE
BUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR HOW CRAZY WE'LL END UP
no subject
[ Oh Gigan. Godzilla appreciates you, he really does. You're loyal, clever in a fight, and you try so hard to help your allies both on and off the field of battle. A better Titan he couldn't ask for as backup around here.
But Mothra's sake is he bad at easing Godzilla's mind right now. There's a lot of combination of words here that are entirely the last things Godzilla wants to read. ]
💭
💭
Perhaps.
I hold concern I may be discovering how those of our lifespans will become 😕.
Much I consider and feel has the aspects of madness to it of late 🤷.
no subject
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THAT
SO I'M NOT CONCERNED I GUESS
NOT THAT IT'S NOT DIFFERENT
BUT I DON'T HATE IT
WHAT KIND OF CRAZY DO YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW
no subject
The indoor lake of the gymnasium 🏊🏋♂️. There are ought here as of now. Such rumination is unfit on these unreliable devices.
no subject
OH YOU WANNA MEET UP
[This is a frequent occurrence when Gigan reads Godzilla's messages—needing to pause and focus hard on the words to parse their meaning. He just doesn't usually text over the process of that happening. Blame the glitches.]
YEAH I'M NOT BUSY
I'M ON THE WAY
no subject
[ Godzilla for his part is at least unsurprised by this. He's gotten the impression most people need time to pharse his texting, it's just one of those things.
When Gigan arrives the big guy is in the pool doing circles, trying to blow off steam in a way that doesn't involve violence. He's going fast enough that there's a small whirlpool forming in the center of the pool.
After another lap or two once Gigan's entered the area and then Godzilla is climbing out of the pool on all fours a respectful distance away. The reason for that becomes clear as he proceeds to shake himself off like some overtly large scaled dog. ]
Friend Gigan. You are well, yes?
no subject
Not any crazier or hornier than usual. Haha! Not that I mind so much when I am anyway. Sometimes it makes a day interesting!
no subject
The number of your horns shifts? I confess, I had not noticed.
[ That's what hornier means right...? ]
I am gladdened to hear however. Your consistent good spirits are a boon to the packs, more could do with such outlook.
no subject
[Gigan thinks he's come to understand humans pretty well. They have more in common with him than he realized, and they definitely have plenty in common with the Nebulans, though the Nebulans would never admit it. There's a familiarity in dealing with them that he enjoys, and a novelty too, which he also enjoys—an ideal kind of relationship.
But he really will never understand why humans are so good at doing things that upset themselves and make their own lives harder. Isn't that the opposite of how nature works . . . ?]
But if you go around asking humans how many horns they have today instead of how horny they are, you're gonna get some laughs out of 'em that way. Haha!
[He misunderstands too, assuming Godzilla does know the meaning, and is just doing the thing where he phrases things in a way that sounds fancier than it needs to in Gigan's opinion.]
no subject
Besides Godzilla is too busy being completely and utterly baffled to correct Gigan. ]
Humans do... not have horns. [ His head untilts, then tilts to the other side. ] "Horny" is a form of human slang I am beginning to suspect, yes?
no subject
[Not even mocking. He's just genuinely coming to this realization as he says it. Godzilla is smarter than he is, and as such, Gigan tends to forget that there's anything he might know that Godzilla wouldn't also know, as if that's how knowledge works—like it's a beaker you fill up, and once it reaches a certain fill line, everyone with that amount of knowledge knows all the same things within that volume.
He tips his head in return, unconsciously mirroring the gesture.]
Yeah, it's slang! I learned about it from some friends. It's just how much you wanna have sex at the time.
no subject
[ Give him a moment here. Let his brain catch up to which meaning of "sex' Gigan's using here. Loading, loading, loading.
Record scratch. ]
Copulation, mating, fornication. BAH!
[ A humming noise quickly builds up as Godzilla's spines light up from his tail to the top of his head, his gills and glowing as well. He proceeds to open his mouth and fire an agitated shot of his breath weapon into the pool, causing a hiss of steam to rise up from the water it cuts through. With that little display done he slams his tail on the ground, snorts out some smoke, and proceeds to walk to the gym proper, pausing for a moment to give Gigan an expectant look as he makes sure the other kaiju follows him. ]
Sex indeed! The humans are obsessed with it, they scramble about as if it is their only concern! There is territory to protect, war to be won, yet even one I would count amongst us Titans has fallen prey to this-- BAH!, Vexing!
[ Another snort of smoke as the big guy proceeds to make use of some of the more 10ft tall friendly gym equipment. A weight bench that it looks like he's been using today, with the weights racked on it and telltale mark of spines in the cushioning are anything to go by. With a frustrated grunt he takes his position, lifts the weights off the rack, and starts doing reps. His tail is near constantly twitching with agitation, but far more interesting is the fact he's still glowing. Kind of. Just his gills are lit up right now. ]
You were given task to "date" these beings, yes? Then explain this to me, at what point do they cease this behavior and focus upon the tasks at claw?!
no subject
The blast into the pool gets a little jump out of him, more surprise than fear. But what a surprise it is! Who knew this was a sensitive subject for the big guy? Maybe he's feeling the frustration lately or something . . . Godzilla doesn't seem like the type to make casual use of the Neo-Tokyo nightlife the way Gigan does. Either way, Gigan does follow him, and as the immediate surprise of that outburst fades away, it's replaced by a well of fascinated, amused fondness. Godzilla is so pissy about this, and it's charming as hell.
Gigan assumes the Titan who has "fallen prey to this" is referring to himself, especially when Godzilla follows up the comment by asking him about his storied dating game history, so he thinks nothing of it. He just settles himself down near the weight bench to watch. His tail twitches behind him, back and forth, with a kind of joyful energy.]
Oh, yeah, they're all about it. That's what humans are best at! It makes sense once you spend some time around 'em . . . especially if you try going around in a human body too. It's a big difference in what a body like that's good at compared to guys like us.
[Not that a kaiju body stands in Gigan's way, per se. Not even one as modified as his is. But there's simply no comparison in the relative ease of most intimate actions, in the same way there's no comparison in the relative advantage Gigan has over a human in slicing someone in half.]
Hey, how many humans are there on your Earth? Last time I visited Earth, it was four billion! They're not made to stay alive for thousands or millions of years like us . . . they're made to have babies that have babies that have babies that stay alive instead. So it's their skill, the same way we've got our skills.
