DOWNTIME MINGLE #5
DOWNTIME MINGLE #5
ⶠ001. 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.

ⶠ002. 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. Itâs 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 chefâs 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 MARTâs within the city. The blind box features a beaked cyborg kaiju named âGIBUBUâ— 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)

ⶠ003. POCKY DAY.
The Halloween festivities run late into the first week of November, but while thatâs all cleared and done away with by the second week, it doesnât mean the holiday season ends there! Now that October's over, itâs all about Pocky Day!
Neo Tokyoâs craze for Pocky Day is only amplified with the new pocky dropping on the day of. While itâs newly released on 11/11, they will be available all throughout the month of November. What someone didnât 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 thatâs half the fun, itâs 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 youâd like. As always, just make sure to mark each CW appropriately. By the end of November, it can be presumed theyâve all been taken off the shelves, but if people wanted to hold onto a box or two for the future, well⊠they canât 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 itâs not Valentineâs 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 canât sit still for a second. It will make them feel constantly antsy as if they need to impulsively jump into the next thing. Whatâs the worst that can happen?

ⶠ004. 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 thatâs in the midst of processing some new information. Then, thereâs 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 doesnât matter when or where, because the system doesnât discriminate. Youâll soon find the thoughts you were having during those moments posted on the network and you canât delete them.
This is a TFLN-inspired mingle thatâs 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 theyâre 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 characterâs voice.
2. Go around and respond to others!
3. ???
4. PROFIT!
Participation in this mingle isnât obligatory, of course. If you donât 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!

ⶠ005. 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.

Anyway… I don't know about hating someone I just met, or hating them simply for having a difference in perspective. Some people are more casual with their affections, some people are more reserved. That's just how it is. It can actually be a pretty endearing in people. Um.
Ignore that.
Point is, I'm just one guy. I'm really not used to getting this philosophical, but I do wonder how much value there is in being a truly objective ruler with no affection so to speak of. That's no different than being an automaton.
The only reason I asked what you'd consider sacrilegious is because, well, if you're not a goddess here, what does it matter if you pursue those things? When you're comfortable and when you become the bright and lively goddess you aspire to be. That is, if you decide to do so at all. Decisions change all the time.
no subject
No way any more of her replies are going to be broadcasted like that! ]
I haven't changed my decision. If anything, I am more determined than ever.
I have no love for the person I am and was.
[ Wait no, she's not supposed to reveal the self-loathing that's hidden beneath the surface. And that's not even a glitch! S-She really needs to cut this short somehow?! ]
Your words carry wisdom that belies your age.
You have given me much to think about.
I'm sorry to have brought upon you a philosophical situation though.
If you ever stop by my flower shop I will give you a free bouquet as a token of apology.
However please do not repeat what you have heard it to anyone.
no subject
Take that as you will, Miss Ereshkigal! You have my word. âïž
[ with that said â ]
Ah, I don't know about needing any bouquets specifically. But, I could use advice and help on how to arrange one when the time comes.
no subject
[ S-She's successfully killed the awkward discussion! Wow! She's so happy and proud of herself. Pat yourself on the back, Ereshkigal! She feels like her social skills have been improving so much lately. Before she would never have been able to do that... But she feels like she needs to add one last thing to make this a total success: ]
Of course.
For a special someone perhaps?
Sorry, I'm so used to making bouquets for couples.
It's kind of become the normal expectation lately.
[ No no, she's not sorry, she totally did it on purpose to ensure there is no going back to the previous topic. She's learned that from Yuwon, the art of making sure the conversation is about anything but yourself! ]
no subject
opposite, in fact. It's for someone I owe but don't want to get the wrong idea.
They said they really wanted flowers from me, though. So I picked up some seeds back in BraÈov. Is there a flower for that? Something that says "This is totally platonic don't get ahead of yourself?"
no subject
[ She supposes someone romantically-minded could think that, but still... She is romantically-minded and she's never assumed that! Wait... ]
W
Wait
I have sent flowers to my friends before.
Do they think I confessed my love to them?
Do they think I have unrequited feelings for them?
T
This is a nightmare!
[ Is that why Izou is trying all the time to stop her from sending flowers? Why Ratio was so angry when she asked him to come at the flower shop? J-Just as she thought her social skills had progressed, could it be she's actually been failing harder than ever?! ]
no subject
It depends on the context!!!!!! Breathe, Miss Ereshkigal, breathe!!
My situation's, uh
Complicated to put it one way
[ like an ex that isn't really an ex… ]
Aside from roses, I doubt anyone would think of it that way. I know I usually don't!!
no subject
... S-She'll probably reason herself out of this once she's calmed down. ]
C
Complicated?
no subject
Yeah! Complicated!
Anyway, one of my past jobsââor rather, volunteer workââinvolved handing out flowers to brighten people's days. I'm sure anyone who received flowers from you appreciated it, especially knowing there was likely thought behind the gesture. It's the thought that counts, right?
no subject
You're employing the Yuwon method!
[ It's spreading! She's not the only one who's learnt it seems. ]
Please do not make this conversation about me to avoid answering the question.
Just say you don't want to answer, I understand.
no subject
…
'Yuwon method,'? Hey, hey, hey. I'll have you know, everything that comes out of my mouth——or brain, rather, is an Elysium original.
no subject
And he does it all the time.
To avoid talking about himself, he directs any conversation to be about me.
I guess I could rename it to the Elywon method.
[ It has a nice ring to it really. ]
