TEAM BUILDING EVENT #3
TEAM BUILDING EVENT #3
ā¶ 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 āout of officeā return email unless it is an emergency. (Dr. Spim is still around, but ā¦ he is a cat and doesnāt answer anyway... unless he feels like it.)
That isnāt to say itās 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!

ā¶ 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. Isnāt 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.

ā¶ 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 isnāt 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.

ā¶ 004. TAKE YOUR MEDICINE.
Dr. Spim takes regular cat naps anyway, so he doesnāt 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 tableā¦.)
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.

ā¶ 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.)

[ As she blows into his face, his hair flies everywhere and he laughs brightly. It's fun! Badgering her familiar seems more a habit, than a true desire to pick on Belzath anyways ( and since Lilias is an attentive woman, she'll find that he picks on her raven in the same way he seems to pick on Sebastian ). Also, she's warmer than most people for now, so he wants to leech off of her. ]
I am meant to pick the lie, though! I pick that one and named my reasons for it. If I am wrong, you should tell me. That way, I can learn more about you. I've found most people love to correct their narrative!
no subject
[Liliasās mouth twists as if in objection to Setās words, but truly sheās trying to mask a wry smile, given that she knows his teasing isnāt in the least incorrect. Annoyingly, she does automatically want to correct his false notions about her; since rejecting the truth of this would only come off as petulant, he has outmaneuvered her quite effectively.]
What an irritating thing to say.
[Damn his annoying GNC man rizzā¦]
That one is more of a half-truth than a lie, but the rest are fully true, so you are not wrong in your choice. Only in your reasoning.
no subject
Half-truths are not fun in a game dependent on discerning lies from truth. It is cheating.
[ Says a man willing to 100% cheat. ]
Still, I like that they incite curiosity. Learning of people is a particular passion of mine. [ WEIRDLY? ] How is it a half-truth? Do you only know four additional languages? What languages are they? Is Egyptian one of them, maybe?
no subject
[Lilias declines to reveal any shame for having only half-lied. What would have been really annoying would have been if she'd given a full lie and two half-truths. Surely that would have been more of a cheat than anything.]
It is a half-truth instead of a lie because I can speak five languages... but not only five. Actually, I have mastery of six.
[She states it plainly, but it still comes off as a bit of a brag, after he'd said she couldn't need that many.]
But Egyptian is not one of them. I've not heard of that language before.
[She raises an eyebrow at him, wondering why in the world he would think she might know a language from what she assumes is his own world.]
no subject
[ In many ways, that has gotten him into every inch of trouble and pain he's ever been in. Set cannot discern people's moods or thoughts the way that a socialized individual might be able to. He thinks he knows what someone is like, and unless his luck prevails or he is correctly quickly, he rapidly develops a delusional effigy of that individual. ( Osiris, chief among examples. ) ]
It is as I said. People do not enjoy being misrepresented, especially loudly. When I hazard my guesses, I include most incendiary reasons for them. And then, I win!
[ He loves winning! Plastered to Lilias's side as he is, he's far less cold than could be as well. ]
You scaled your prowess down, rather than up! How clever. Why would you need that many? Are you a diplomat, Lilias?
no subject
Gods forbid. [Her tone makes it clear just how dreadful a match that would be. For a woman born into the ranks of Magnimarās aristocracy, sheās always had very little patience for politics.] The tongues Iāve learned would be of little use in diplomacy anyway, unless I was treating with goblins and trollsāwho are not known to treat visitors especially well.
No, I am only someone who values knowledge. [More like she prefers to arm herself with it.] Iāve learned the tongues of some of the more hostile creatures who frequent Varisiaās lands, and the tongues of the higher and lower planes. The latter are mostly useful for parsing obscure texts and rituals.
