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.

Ah, I wish I could show you what it could be like. Where I am from, we... look down on laws, and I can assure you, we are not brainless savages.
[ i mean
zaun is drowning in a shimmer empire
and poor
and also there's gang violence etc etc
but only like half of that is his fault and the rest is the...gestures vaguely at class disparity and police violence
so just like NYC ]
no subject
[Sadly Donnie's family are heroes, and he is fresh from saving the world. He'd probably do so badly in Silco's world.]
cw: a silco screed đ
nah he'd be fine.
but more importantly, oh boy, here it comes. ]
You say that because people are made to rely on laws. Because they are kept ignorant, and quiet. Because their "betters" put them into the place where they have no choice to either break or follow them. The people who make the laws do so for their own self interest, not in the interest of governing.
People are best when they are left to their own devices. Where they are able to survive and thrive without anything holding them back. No Enforcer boots on their throats or being forced to work in the mines simply because their very existence is a crime. Do you know what a vagrancy law is, boy? It is intended to punish those who are idle, or poor, by the very people who without money are the very same.
Laws are a lie that they use to manipulate people like you to believe just that.
no subject
A lot of bullshit in Donnie's opinion, and his reaction is very 2000's and up teenager.]
tl;dr
no subject
takes the wind out of his sails, mostly because: ]
What is that.
What does that mean?
no subject
It's an abbreviation for the phrase "too long;didn't read", it's used when someone writes out a long pointless thing online.
no subject
[ A moment.
A pause. You can expect his jaw tightens. ]
I suppose I should not expect better from other outsiders. Most of you know nothing about what it takes to make a people flourish.
Ah but you have given me a reminder as well, so I suppose thanks are in order.
no subject
[Yeah, Donnie isn't going to take that thanks. He feels like it's a sarcastic one.]
no subject
Whereas mine are crushed under enforcer boots for stealing food because they have not enough to go around.
I'm so terribly glad that these laws have not been unjustly applied to control them where you are from. You must be from a true paradise. At least for humans only, yes?
I cannot imagine that it cuts them as well.
no subject
And Yokai have their own ways, but I'm no expert on that.
no subject
I don't know what that is, either. You'll need to remember, you are talking to people from different worlds, boy.
no subject
[Honestly Donnie could have gone with the easy answer and say "They're like mutants" but that would muddy things? So this is what Silco gets.]
no subject
[ There's probably an equivalent on runeterra, but again, silco's a mob boss from an underground city who's never really left. Unless it's in a book he read, he doesn't know about it. And he mostly just self-taught himself accounting. ]
no subject
[Donnie maybe looked into some history in the Mystic Library, or gotten info from Draxum. Since Drax's goal in making the turtles was technically to reclaim the surface for Yokaikind.]
no subject
It isn't. It is the powerful and the powerless, and the sooner you come to terms with that, you will understand more.
Where I am from, we have plenty of species, even mutants. [ i mean i guess technically.............? he's kinda one????????? ] That is not something where people must be divided and categorized.
no subject
I just don't care about it.
[he's sixteen, this stuff is not anything he pays attention to outside of what can affect his family.]
no subject
[ hey, when he was sixteen he was already starting down this path. to be fair, being shoved in the mines and gangs will do that to a kid. ]
Tell me, when something doesn't affect you, are you always this uncaring?
no subject
[He's saved the world twice with his family, so probably not as bad as Silco's life. But most certainly nothing normal. That and the whole lived in the sewers and has limited social interactions to boot.]
I mean, yeah? It's better than getting an ulcer about things you can do nothing about after all.
no subject
That just means you've accepted your lot in life, instead of trying to change it.
[ unfortunately, silco can't Turn It Off either ]
no subject
Well excuse me for wanting what I've got instead of the other option, which is in some government lab being poked and prodded. Possibly cut apart, until I die.
Sorry I prefer living over that crap.
no subject
Ah yes. The excuse of the quiet, and the meek. Just keep your head down, don't let anyone see you. Be unobtrusive, and quiet. Don't make trouble, lest the authorities raid your home, or your place of business, just because they don't like you.
I've heard the excuse before. It's a thin one, when the alternative is thriving. People deserve to do more than just hide.
no subject
Which so far is just Godzilla.]
