TEAM BUILDING EVENT #3
TEAM BUILDING EVENT #3
▶ 001. WELL DESERVED REST.
With no sign of upcoming city-level threats, LILITH has made the decision to provide Outsiders with a well-deserved break: there will be no official missions for the month of December. Outsiders are free to roam the city, continue their usual civilian jobs or take a holiday to any of the locations available via data portal. During this period, LILITH leadership will also be taking time off and any attempts to contact them will be met with an ‘out of office’ return email unless it is an emergency. (Dr. Spim is still around, but … he is a cat and doesn’t answer anyway... unless he feels like it.)
That isn’t to say it’s going to be a completely quiet month, of course. Our players have kindly prepared several player plots that anyone is welcome to join. Please refer to the top level here for links to the relevant plots. An updated quest has also been listed here.
Additionally, the Outsiders Program has successfully finished its first year! LILITH will be giving all Outsiders old and new a thank you bonus of 500,000 KRYPTOS (approximately 3230 USD) to spend freely on their holiday. Try not to spend it all on pachinko!

▶ 002. LET IT SNOW.
Starting December 1st, the temperature in Neo Tokyo will take a dive as the country enters into winter. The first signs of snowfall will occur on December 1st, and as it continues, the city will be transformed into a winter wonderland. The shops and restaurants of Neo Tokyo are capitalizing on the approaching festivities, putting up Christmas lights, Christmas trees and decorations. Many stores are having sales on warm clothing and popular gifts. Isn’t it the perfect time to find some nice gifts for your friends?
While only a suggestion, it is encouraged to support the integration of the orphans from Transylvania by taking them out on a winter adventure.
Winter activities found in Neo Tokyo include:
- Christmas Winter Illuminations. Certain parts of the city will be lit up in Christmas lights and holographic, winter-themed illuminations. Stop by at the right time and there might even be a drone show to watch.
- Ice sculpture building. Artists have gathered in Yoyogi Park to showcase their latest ice sculpture creations. Outsiders may view the attraction or join in on the ice sculpture contest. Winners will get prize money.
- Ice-skating. The Yokohama Red Brick Ice Rink is open again and characters are free to go skating with their friends. As a part of its latest attraction, the ice has been fitted with microscopic nanobots that light up when touched, causing the ice to glow or showcase striking colors as people skate across it.
- Playing in the snow. Even under threat of kaiju, the people of Neo Tokyo take the time to have fun when they can. Through the streets, there are people making snow angels or pelting each other with snowballs.
Characters may visit Las Vegas, Kyoto or Okinawa using the data portals. Kyoto and Okinawa continue to be uninhabited, but they can camp there if they wish. They are free to book a hotel and enjoy their holiday in Las Vegas too, where the city will have its own brand of winter activities (winter illuminations, Christmas shows, ice-skating and holiday-themed Vegas shows). While the weather is still cold, it will be snowing in Kyoto but not in Okinawa or Las Vegas.

▶ 003. SNUGGLE UP.
All the lights and festivities happening in the city are putting some strain on the power grid, and this leads to occasional bouts of power failure during the month of December. These seem to be happening in the base and throughout the city of Neo Tokyo, and they last for a few hours each time. With hospital equipment running on back-up generators, it isn’t a huge cause for concern, but it certainly is an annoyance; especially with the weather so cold.
LILITH robots will be offering Outsiders on the base extra blankets (traditional and emergency foil blankets) along with heat packs to get through the cold. Starting a fire within the base will not be allowed since it is a hazard, so those who still need the extra warmth will need to find other creative ways to obtain it. A snuggle never hurt anyone, right? There is one operational fireplace in the Library, and Outsiders may notice an influx of small tables throughout the base with self-serve hot beverages on battery operated kettles, such as tea, hot cocoa & artificial coffee. As Outsiders congregate around the base, snuggled up in their new festive blankets, perhaps now would be a good time for some classic party games such as Never Have I Ever and Two Truths and a Lie.

▶ 004. TAKE YOUR MEDICINE.
Dr. Spim takes regular cat naps anyway, so he doesn’t see the need to take a holiday. As a result, he has continued to work tirelessly on finetuning the cure for the vampiric disease. Throughout the month, he will make several requests for volunteers (those with and without the vampiric disease) to participate in the ongoing clinical trials.
The serum he is testing will not cause harm to the body, but it might result in any of the following side effects:
- Dizziness, fatigue and difficulty coordinating movement.
- Fever, chills and a desperate need for warmth.
- Mood changes, which can present as euphoric or depressed or both.
- Hallucinations or delusions.
- Increased hunger, thirst or other physical needs (interpret as you wish.)
- A ravenous need for blood (for vampires.)
Certain volunteers may encounter no side effects at all, while some may experience all of them. Luck of the draw, really. The side effects are not permanent and last for a few hours. As always, Dr. Spim will explain the possible side effects and get consent before administering the medicine.
By the end of the month, a stable cure will be finalized and LILITH robots will deliver it to all those affected by the vampiric disease (if your character was already a vampire, don't worry about it). It is highly encouraged to take the medicine! Dr. Spim has no time to chase down the people refusing to take their medicine, so he might pay some of their friends to do it for him. He is a cat. He has better things to do (such as knock this beaker off the table….)
As an OOC note, please do not let your character remain a vampire unless they are already a vampiric character. The vampire event in Transylvania was meant to only have temporary effect.

▶ 005. AFTERWORD.
Welcome to our third team building event! All tags on this log are worth 2 points and will count towards December AC.
We have a lot of player plots this month, and are using this log to encourage players to participate in the player plots since the event itself is light. As a reminder, the mod team will be taking a break during the month of December and will not be answering any questions at this time.

EVENT BREAKDOWN/RECAP (CLICK TO EXPAND)
1. WELL DESERVED REST: Outsiders enjoy a quiet month with no kaiju attacks, but are provided plenty of things to do (via player plots) and they are welcome to use the data portal to travel to Okinawa and Las Vegas at this time.
2. LET IT SNOW: Heavy snowfall turns Neo Tokyo into a winter wonderland with many snow related activities to participate in such as ice skating, ice sculpture making, etc. LILITH encourages the Outsiders to allow the misplaced orphans to participate in some of these activities.
3. SNUGGLE UP: The power outages strike again, this time from too many festive lights that overheat the generators. LILITH provides Outsiders with emergency blankets and hot beverages during times of outages.
4. TAKE YOUR MEDICINE: Dr. Spim trial runs an antidote for the vampiric disease that struck Outsiders during their mission in Brasov. He takes volunteers who are both vampires and not. Finally, a cure is made, and all Outsiders are asked to take it (please do not let your character remain a vampire unless they are already a vampiric character.)
no subject
for the comment about crashing, she throws him a mildly concerned look. after that conversation they had, she figured he would bury himself in work. or the orphanage. or anything he could.
after all, she did the same. tried to immerse herself in her normal, human life instead of chase after yato. live and forget, she chose that.
before changing her mind, anyway. ]
Yeah!! Walk with me! [ she takes it upon herself to hook her arm through his, with her UNCASTED arm, and she directs them towards the big christmas tree she was on her way to go look at after seeing it on some ad video. ]
Relieved. [ that it's gone. that she can do things with a (relatively) normal arm again. ] I can itch my arm as much as I like again. It's great.
[ ????????? ]
no subject
Oh man, I bet that's such a good feeling, right? The first time I broke my ankle I wanted to get a really long stick just to shove it inside the bandages. ( Really casual with that first time, but considering his literal missing limb maybe that's not a surprise. His bones could be splinters by now. ) Luida would not let me. She hid all the tongs in the kitchen and a bunch of the stuff in the lab. I had to lie on the floor for days just because it was driving me crazy.
( As they walk he starts noticing all the twinkling little lights everywhere, the shop windows all decorated, the lampposts strung with colour. It makes something vast and emotional expand in his chest. A little like he wants to laugh, a little like he wants to cry. And then they turn a corner and there's a tree and it's even better. )
Oh.
no subject
hiyori grins bright and warmed at the idea of a younger vash ransacking the kitchen for something to help ease the annoyance of itchy skin but luida being way ahead of him. there's a sympathetic but slightly giggly, ] Oh no. [ about him laying on the floor FOR DAYS.
after their talk before, about his heartbreaking story, she is more than happy to know that it wasn't always like that. that things could happen like hiding objects to keep vash from itching inside his cast.
soaking in the sights, almost as though it's building up to a BIG REVEAL moment, she's just as stricken by the sight of a towering tree, glittering with lights. whatever thoughts on her mind scattered and replaced with the beauty before her. ]
Wow... it's even better in person...
[ she echoes the sentiment, taking it all in. a similar feeling bubbles in her chest, but hers leans more towards relief. ]
I was a little worried there wouldn't be things like this around Tokyo.
no subject
( Even just the tree, big and lush. ) The lights are so pretty. It kind of makes me think of - you know when you've been wandering awhile and it's quiet, and you see the lights inside someone's home and it makes you feel nice? It's cosy. I like it.
( They're just going to take a quick tour around it, arms linked. ) All of the lights are nice. Homely.
no subject
[ since hiyori wanted to show him things like this in the first place (probably since she met him), she gamely tags along and admires the view. happy to have company.
homely...
a home. ]
Yato told me wants to build a house. [ her voice has gone soft and a bit amazed again. ] I don't know how long those take to make, or when it'll be done, but I think I can speak for both of us when I say... you're always welcome to that home.
[ the lights will be on. ]
no subject
( Being the #1 Yato-and-Hiyori fan means this news is met with absolutely intense levels of joy. He gives her the widest of smiles, squeezing her arm a little tighter - though still very much gentle, she was just hurt after all. ) Aw, I'll bring you a present! That's what you do when someone gets a house, right?
( A plant! Two plants. Five! Though plant as in flower and not plant as in himself. Actually no, that too. )
If he needs any help then I'm your man. I've worked on construction a few times. If places get a little beat up and I can spare the time I would stick around and help rebuild. Plus I've fixed like, so many Toma pens.
no subject
[ GIVE HER HIMSELF, TOO!! that was the whole reason she said anything!! but, hey, if it makes him this happy. that's contagious. it is all very crazy to her, anyway. when you spend a year telling yourself that the feelings you have for a god are VERY PLATONIC and NOTHING ELSE. only to then forget he exists for ten years because your ties were cut to -
only to then remember his name on one random evening on a jog because cherry blossoms remind you of a smell. your favorite smell. to THEN run into him by a miracle in the far-off future. and he's been in a relationship with another version of her for almost a year in another alternate place?! it's all
crazy.
BUT vash offering his help is very vash. she can't help but laugh softly and pat his arm, grabbing hers. ]
Thank you. I'll pass the information along, but... I think Yato has it in his head that he wants to do it on his own, for some reason. He was talking to Lord Godzilla...
[ those two talk about things she doesn't want to imagine ]
A-anyway, I just wanted to tell you that you will have a place to stay with us. Whenever.
no subject
( He seems a little impressed about Godzilla giving advice, but that's mostly because he's a little impressed by Godzilla in general. )
I think it'll be good for you two. And nice to get off base, right? ( Less likely to get caught up in LILITH drama too. ) You can have your own tree next year! Oh, maybe you could have flowers too.
no subject
He'd never say no to snacks! Not for as long as I've known him.
[ same hat, vash. the big guy is a legend. hiyori gives him bigger eyes too like "I know right"
nice to get off base, yeah. maybe a little. she didn't think about that part. most of her was focused on having a home for them to live. for them to invite people over just like her parents did.
and it takes her breath away. ]
Yeah! Will you help decorate it? Actually... what about getting a tree for the base this year? I was thinking about it. Like community tree for whoever wants to help decorate it and put presents under.
[ until the power goes out weeeeeeehhh ]
no subject
( The twinkly lights certainly help Vash, already his mood is lifting. It's just a shame he doesn't have Wolfwood to show them too, but that's fine. Maybe when he gets home. He can make it a thing. )
And I should get one for the orphanage too, so the kids can decorate it! A whole bunch of them have been making paper crafts. The glitter. ( Gleeful, but also tinged with the edge that he now knows it gets everywhere. ) Maybe I could have them make some for base too, so that people get more used to the idea of the kids. Two birds!
no subject
[ he noticed too, huh? who doesn't? it's like the atmosphere has progressively gotten more heavy around the base. decorating with things like this would help. right? something. ]
We can put presents under them, too.
[ for whoever they get presents for. hiyori already has THINGS in mind. ever since November. the air around vash was already much lighter than the last time they talked, too.
glitter. here, she laughs more brightly and openly. poor vash. but it sounds fun, too. messy. it all sounds good for him. or so she hopes.
since she's been worried. ]
Yeah! Definitely! [ MORE GLITTER. ] I think it'd be way better to decorate with handmade ornaments rather than buy some boring factory ones. They can do popcorn garlands, too.
no subject
I'll bring it up to them. Some of them really like crafts, so we have a whole room dedicated to it now. And thankfully none of them seem to mind reusing things? We made an entire fort out of cardboard boxes from the corner store down the street. A whole bunch are really clever with it too. So I'm sure if I asked they'd jump at the chance.
( A hum, mind whirring. )
We need lights though. Those are the best part.
no subject
with the story he paints, hiyori is quite inspired to visit the orphans again to see for herself. a whole room dedicated to crafts? sign her up.
SIGN HER UP for the nEXT FORT because a cardboard box fort sounds AMAZING??? and aren't they all kids at heart? she can be, sometimes. ]
You get mesmerized by it, huh? When I was little, I remember sitting in front of our family Christmas tree and just staring at all the lights for way too long, haha. I'd get in trouble.
There are so many experiences kids should have. Just like making cardboard fort boxes and making a mess with glitter. Decorating a Christmas tree. Getting presents... oh, speaking of! Hey!
What did you want for Christmas??
no subject
N-nothing? ( Every so slightly vaguely mystified. He's done a lot of work making sure the kids have presents, and he damn well has a whole bunch for his friends, but the opposite hadn't occurred to him. Presents just weren't a thing. ) Everyone to have a good time, maybe? ( A cop out, but it's clear he means it. ) And to try all the foods Yato keeps telling me about. I think that's what I'm looking forward to the most.
( He shoves his hands in his pockets, smile going brighter. ) What about you? Are you asking for anything? Have you written a letter?
( And then 💡💡💡💡 )
Wait. Santa's absolutely not real, right? Like there's not a guy who goes down the chimney and brings presents? Because one of the volunteers told me I needed to read all the letters and see what the kids needed, so he can't be.
cries??? why do i keep losing your tags omfg
but, yeah, it's like vash to say that. does he ever want anything for himself? the THIRD answer, though!! that's a good one. hmmm, okay, foods. she can work with that! ]
N-no, I haven't written a letter. I haven't done that for years!
[ when she 100% believed he was real as a little lady. before she met gods and spirits. knowing what she does now? ]
W-well. Um.
[ HOW DOES SHE ANSWER THIS. honestly. of course. ]
........ One time I met a Santa backup. She said he was crazy busy, so she was helping out. Had a sack full of presents and everything...
it's vash's luck
And keeps blinking. )
He's real? ( A little too loud, a little too excitable. ) What? Oh man, some of the older kids said he wasn't and anyone who believed in him was a baby and I was just trying to keep the peace because you know, it made a few of the littler ones cry! But I didn't know the Santa lore and we tell all sorts of things to children, right? So I wasn't sure.
( A beat. )
Does he really go down a chimney? Do I have to clean the orphanage chimney before Christmas Eve?!
but they both know a god of fortune : (
but even if that weren't all true, she'd say he is because vash is SO EXCITED. like a kid and she can't ruin that. like yato's belief in capyper. ]
U-ummm?? [ at the end, she can't stop herself from smiling nervously at him. i mean, he should probably clean the chimney either WAY BUT. ] Yes? I think so.
You don't have to. What you do have to do is leave out some cookies and milk for him to eat as he leaves the presents for everyone. That's tradition.
No matter if he's real or not, but I think it's just more fun to believe in him. Those older kids, though, jeez. Someone should teach them some manners...
man he better help them out then
I get it. They've had to grow up really fast, right? And then some people don't see that, so they have to make themselves look real tough to compensate for it. They don't really have a place because they're not quite grown but they're not innocent anymore. ( He laughs, a little, rubs the back of his neck. ) I've sort of met all sorts of people, you know? You start to see the patterns. And I'm just glad no one's pulled a weapon. I'm happy it was just a silly argument.
( Maybe he should add a little more to that one kid's candy collection. )
I would've liked to tell Wolfwood about it though, you know? A saint with his name that looks after children. I think he would've gotten a kick out of it. ( A wistful sigh. ) The very first day we met there was a scared kid, and he was so kind. I think that's the first thing I really noticed.
( Of course, that kid turned out to be Zazzie, but Vash doesn't think that part is important. )
frfr and ME HELP ME
the mention of a weapon
is
CONCERNING. ]
M-me too. [ she pauses, thinking of yukine. he was in that same situation. ] Someone needs to stand up for those little kids, though, Vash... even if you understand where the bigger kids are coming from. Maybe the bigger kids just need someone to talk to. Like you.
[ what would wolfwood do? not that vash is doing a bad job!! no he's doing great. those kids love him, she can tell. it must be hard for everybody in so many ways. it's frustrating.
saint with his - oh. she feels a small smile tug at her lips. ]
What else did you notice?
same let's get on his good side.
( Doubt is an old friend, and Vash has spent years moving. Being in one place and seeing the impact he makes is a strange thing, harder than he expected. He wants to help though, that much never changes. ) I'll talk to him then. Maybe try and figure out a way to redirect. Sometimes they just need something to do, right? It's what I did when I was by myself for the first time.
( The last question has him hum, distracted. )
His eyes. ( A beat. ) Not like that. ( And then another, sheepish. ) Okay, maybe a little?
( They're still wandering arm in arm, so Vash feels okay with leaning in closer, more conspiratorial. It's not really a secret, but it feels nice that it's just Hiyori. )
He was trying so hard to look tough. Wolfwood's like a cat. You know how they puff up in size to make them look meaner? He wanted it so badly. I think he thought maybe if I thought he was a cruel guy it would go easier. I'd come with him faster. But I could see it in his face. His heart. It was right there from the very beginning. So I liked his eyes. ( A laugh, low, a little bittersweet. ) He'd probably get real mad at me for saying that. Any time I was nice he'd start spitting.
just need capyper stuff and food offerings and some yen ez
[ since they're arm in arm, she gives his bicep a small squeeze with her hand after saying so.
doubt comes for them all, but hiyori is steadfast and loyal with friends. among vash can count himself as one of the best she has. explaining his plan of action gets her nodding. ]
Yukine-kun was like that. [ she finds herself saying, finally. ] He was troubled. Young. He took out a lot of anger on Yato... and me. But I knew he was a good person, he deserved another chance. A way to redeem himself. Maybe you can give him that...?
[ hopefully, that boy is the same too after vash talks to him. he sounds about yukine's age. maybe he just needs to talk. someone to pay attention to him and see him. he exists, he's alive, he matters. people care. vash cares.
sheepish vash saying wolfwood's eyes are what he noticed makes her blink at him in shock before she grins knowingly. oh yeah, she totally gets that. then, she chuckles and looks curious from him leaning in. after a pause, she leans in a bit as well to hear better. to play along.
but by the end, hiyori's heartstrings are thoroughly tugged. ]
You know, cats are also just big cuddlebugs. [ ... ] You always see the best in people, don't you? But, to you, Wolfwood - no, Nick was the best.
we gamed the system
( Curious, but without any pressure behind it. She can tell him, or she can not. It's just another part of the tapestry of Hiyori-and-Yato he's peicing together. )
And I try. ( Seeing the best in people. ) Wolfwood gets mad about that, actually. It's a little funny. He'd prefer I was more suspicious of people. I just think they all deserve a chance, you know? He did. ( He chews on his bottom lip, thoughtful. ) Anything Wolfwood's ever done is to protect the kids of the orphanage. His orphanage, the one he's from back home. He went through so much just to try and keep them safe. He thinks it makes him a bad person, but I don't think that's right. I think he didn't have much of a choice.
( A sigh, but it's only a little mournful, not quite sad. )
My brother sent him to fetch me. I knew from the minute we met. I always know. But I could tell he was a good person, I knew Nai was holding something over his head. I kind of wish I'd talked to him about it when he was here, but I didn't want to hurt him, you know? So I'm trying to make it up to him now by keeping the kids here safe. I hope he's back home now, I hope he's free from my mess, I hope he's happy.
bonus round: call him yato-sama
... but she likes vash as he is, too. believing in the best of others and giving everyone a chance. she'd bet some serious money that wolfwood thinks the same deep down, no matter how mad he gets. and hiyori isn't even a gambling TYPE.
from the sound of things, wolfwood is a protector. not just of kids but of other humans, despite his reservations. he's a good man, not a bad person. she's with vash on this one.
hiyori looks shocked that his brother used wolfwood to get to vash, eyes dropping down. vash's story reminds her so much of what she experienced on the far shore. the feud between yato and his father. how his father used everyone and everything to get to him, to get him back to his side.
it sounds like he was using the orphanage, innocent lives against him. just like yato's father did at the iki hospital.
... did yato and vash ever talk? ]
You two are so alike sometimes, I swear. [ hiyori mutters to herself, frustrated but fond. then, she hurries around to his front and grabs his arms to look serious. ]
Do you trust Wolfwood, Vash?
asdfdhsj yato-sama 🤩
( Instinctive. He would though, has. Willingly put himself in to Wolfwood's hands even though he knew what was waiting for him at the end of the road. It didn't matter how it would finish, only that the undertaker would get him there. A lot of it changed on the journey too, once they stopped snagging themselves on each other's sharp edges. A lot of it became softer. It makes missing Wolfwood a lot harder, but he's still glad there's something to miss. )
We don't always believe in the same things, you know? He doesn't agree with my ideals. I don't like some of his choices. But at the end of the day I know who he is, and I know he'd do the right thing, and I can't not trust him.
( Maybe Nai made a mistake there. Gave Vash something to fight for. Or maybe he knew exactly what he was doing. Who knows? It's not like he'll get to go home and find out. )
YATO-SAMAAAAAAAAAA 👑 (lmao i hit post too early)
right now, she needs to make a point. a smile flashes on her face, briefly, as he explains. they're two different people but, like he said, they know who they are. they know the other's heart. ]
Can you trust him with your heart? If you can do that, even if it will hurt, you'll overcome it. Nick deserves to know how you feel, and you should be able to talk to him about anything if you have that trust. First and foremost, as friends.
Not only that, but trust that he doesn't consider what you're going through a mess. If he's as good as you say, if he knows to do the right thing, it's to help you. And, I don't know if it's all that comforting... I don't know if he could be happy without you. He could try, but something would be missing.
