DOWNTIME MINGLE #8
DOWNTIME MINGLE #8
βΆ 001. WINNER'S CIRCLE
In light of everyone's recent help with both the ocean exploration and the clinical trials, the Outsiders will return one day to a surprisingly well-decorated area within the mess hall at the Kyoto base. It's been adorned with some of the flowers that have wildly bloomed on the outskirts of the city in various areas, as well as those that the researchers had been personally working on fostering in the LILITH greenhouses. Beneath it will be not a pizza party for once, and charcuterie and other donated food items will be there for Outsiders to enjoy. There is even some recognizable cuisine from Egypt for them as well!
While Neo Tokyo has always been noted as being a city of technology (even with their dwindling resources), a new trend of collecting swords has sparked in the city. Maybe they've seen it in certain Outsiders, but the idea of both collecting swords, displaying them, or even holding exhibitions for them have become more common. Some have even taken to hunting for them in the wild.
If any Outsiders are interested, there appears to be several posts online in which they think older blades may be laying in sleep. But, as with most rumors, there's no guarantee it isn't a wild goose chase.
On TV, the new spring line up is out. A new live action series featuring a group of friends who fight kaiju using mecha has made its debut. Their mecha are animal themed and can combine to create a super mecha. The new lead is a hot headed female character with a lion mecha, which spawns a line of action figures in stores across the city. The lion mecha is the most popular and often resold online for inflated prices. Maybe an Outsider can get their hands on one without paying the scalping fee?
Oftentimes when it comes to the Outsiders and the general masses, there's a distinct disconnect. Which is why it all seems to hinge on rumors and hearsay. Who knows where the information stems from, but they heard a certain Outsider has a liking for bread. There will be no shortage of bread sponsorships for the base, though... some may be far more experimental. However, some claim lab-grown bread may actually be tastier? Only one way to put it to the test. The lab-grown bread conveniently also comes in cans.
GOOD JOB:Thanks to the Outsidersβ hard work, they are met with positive reception by the general public, which seems to have grown astronomically since the past two missions. This has only grown from their recent success abroad. Per usual, there are a few oddities that have caught on in the city.

βΆ 002. FROM SUMER WITH LOVE.
Around the same time, a few LILITH employees show signs of a common cold β nothing noteworthy at first really, if only out-of-season. But then the disease starts spreading at an alarming rate within the headquarters, its symptoms evolving from a mere cold to a severe life-threatening flu. Preliminary analysis reveals the disease to be unlike any known on this planet β perhaps this is why no medicines work. Symptoms include chest pain, trouble breathing, nausea, excessive vomiting and diarrhea, chills and high fever.
To make matters worse, news from LILITH locations around the world reveal all known bases to be afflicted by the same mysterious epidemic, only affecting LILITH staff and not Outsiders at this time. This cannot be a coincidence: LILITH is under attack.. but how is something like this possible?
As researchers race to try and understand the disease, LILITH will request everyone to quarantine themselves on base for the safety of the public. Gradually, the disease spreads across the base only for tests to reveal: the Outsiders are left unaffected.
As the month progresses, more and more of LILITHβs employees find themselves bedridden with the deadly disease until by the 30th of May, only Outsiders are left standing and healthy; all the LILITH crew has been affected. The civilian population outside the base is safe for now, but for how long? Unless something is done, it is estimated all humans working for LILITH will be dead by late June.
Seok Dang tried to stay on the line, but all that was heard was gut-wretching vomiting, to which SYNTHIA promptly cuts his connection. Sorry about that.
It is up to the Outsiders to find the source of the disease and resolve the crisis before all hope is lost. Is this somehow related to those Outsiders who recently disappeared? Wait, arenβt there a few Outsiders here who have seen this flu before and can recognize itβ¦?

"Greetings, my children. Worry not. I come here to report some concerning news: both Captain Yamakawa and Commander Shiro have fallen gravely ill. Since I am an A.I assistant, my health is optimal. Seok Dang has also fallen ill, though he is still in denial of it. I will do my best to take care of each and every one ofβ "
"BULLSHIT!! This is nothing! I've had hangovers worse than this, you hear me? Calm your terabyte-tits, bitch. I'm here. There ain't nothin' that is gonna stop me, in fact, with the higher ups feelin' like shit, that would put me in command, right? W-Wait, hold that thought, I.. feel like I'm gonna throw up."

βΆ 003. LIVIN' LA VIDA LOCKDOWN.
While everyone is quarantined on base, they are encouraged to communicate with each other through the network. During this time, they can do research, share ideas, and try to figure out what is happening as the disease spreads across base and around the world.
While they are in lock down, LILITH encourages the Outsiders to pick up some new hobbies and interests to keep themselves active. They will have access to various workout videos. Some of the videos are hosted by cyborg coaches that expect Outsiders to do things with their bodies that probably aren't physically possible. Other Outsiders might get simple ovens and jars of suspicious "starters" to bake. Of course, there are other hobbies like growing miniature artificial plants, board games, virtual reality games, and more to keep them interested while they're trapped inside!
After about a week, when it becomes obvious the Outsiders are unaffected, they will be allowed to leave their rooms and roam freely to assist. LILITH does not understand why they are not affected but they are depending on the Outsiders for help now more than ever.
Though they are free to wander and seem to be immune for the time being, LILITH warns if they experience any cold-like symptoms, they should report their status and quarantine immediately.

βΆ 004. AFTERWORD + SPECIAL NOTE.
Welcome to May's downtime mingle! All tags on this log are worth 2 points.
The June Event is a player plot that is going to differ from regular events in a few ways: Outsiders have to find the location for the next Kaiju fight on their own using hints given in the From Sumer With Love prompt, and correlating them with the past and ongoing disappearance of various Outsiders. They can use LILITHβs equipment to look for anomalies across the globe, however there is not enough time to scan or contact every region in the world. Outsiders need to guess where the anomaly likely is before they can get confirmation. There is a PLOTTING post for this event over here.
Furthermore, they will have to reach this destination through their own means as there is no LILITH staff left to fly them there. Vehicles can be requisitioned, but will have to be flown by Outsiders on their own. This also means Outsiders are free to stay behind at the base if they prefer, as nobody will force them to go. Pain-relieving medicines can also be developed if the true nature of the disease is found and the appropriate characters work on it, though nothing short of defeating the anomaly will solve this crisis and save everyone.
Last but not least: this event will have two Kaiju battles, one on each log as well as many different challenges the Outsiders will have to solve on their own if they want to save LILITH and bring home their missing friends! Please use this thread to ask questions and offer your proposals as to what the Outsiders should do (location guessing, transport, etc). Proposals made in this thread will affect the first and second prompts of the first log.

EVENT BREAKDOWN/RECAP (CLICK TO EXPAND)
1. WINNER'S CIRCLE: The heavy hitters/KO winners of the last kaiju fight receive their sponsorships and inspire new trends, including an interest in collecting swords, a new live action series (like Power Rangers), and free bread.
2. FROM SUMER WITH LOVE: A mysterious disease spreads across LILITH's bases. The symptoms are like the common cold/flu but much more severe. There is currently no cure. Outsiders seem to be immune to the disease. After quarantining, they are encouraged to investigate and come up with plans for the battle to come.
3. LIVIN' LA VIDA LOCKDOWN: While on lockdown, Outsiders are encouraged to try some new hobbies. They can also communicate through the network and do research to uncover additional clues and come up with more plans.
no subject
Considering LILITH made them do teamwork exercises, maybe it wouldn't be best to leave the training to them...
Hehe, seems that Katsuki is developing quite the friendship crowd! Not that he'd probably ever admit it, but that's okay. It's actions that count most.]
Oooh, gotcha. Must be nice being able to work together sometimes. [If only he had the stomach for medical things, he'd join Hiyori at her job in a heartbeat. As it is, he's still debating on maybe trying to apply as a janitor or other non-medical position there just so he can be nearer to her more often. Can't make sure she's safe if he's not nearby, after all! But the job of being a cop sounds more his speed, honestly. He's a born fighter, whether he likes it or not.]
M'kay! I'll do that. I'm sure there's plenty I could learn from you guys with all your experience.
[Hell, maybe he can work two shifts, one at the hospital and one with the police...! (This is him forgetting he's no longer immortal and can't go without sleep like he's used to, the dummy. He'll learn that lesson the hard way.) But hey, at least now he's got a couple really good options instead of simply bouncing from job to job.]
no subject
Duh. But if you're gonna work for a month and leave, don't bother.
[Dipping into a more serious tone. Yato's mentioned in the past he bounces between jobs, for one reason or another. Figures boredom is a big reason for his departure. Being on the police force is a commitment. This isn't some flippant position you can quit after a few weeks cause shit's not working out. There are a ton of jobs at a hospital not requiring being among blood and guts. But it's a hospital. Even janitors might have to gang way as they roll the bleeding mess post-hit-and-run accident past them...
Katsuki would be glad to have Yato on the force, but he wants him to make sure he'll be able to stay on it for a good solid chunk. Can't recommend someone for the team, only to have them quit and then Katsuki looks like a fucking idiot.]
Hmph. No shit. Pay attention and you'll get even better.
[Go ahead and tell him your double shift idea, so he can smack you upside the head and call you a moron for thinking that's even necessary. Anyways, yeah, that job bouncing habit needs to be nipped cold turkey if he's gonna work as a police officer.
Though I bet Yato looks good in a police uniform.]
no subject
Right, right. I wouldn't want to just be an inconvenience.
[That's why it's something he'll have to think seriously about, to decide whether or not it's something he could genuinely stick with for more than a month or two at a time. It'd be rude and a bother to go through the hassle of joining and such just to quit a short time later. At least if he was just part of the hospital clean up crew it likely wouldn't involve him throwing scheduling into turmoil should he be unable to commit to the task.
Though with his tendency to want to roam, the police force is sounding like the better opportunity. It'd be more directly helping people, too, rather than working behind the scenes playing a support role. Something he's never been very good at. Sitting on the sidelines doesn't suit him.]
Hehe... I'll be watching you closely, in that case~!
[Teasing him? You betcha! He can't resist the occasional chance to poke fun, nudging him gently with an elbow. It's his way of showing his appreciation for Katsuki's guidance and support. Nobody's ever really believed in him before Hiyori and Yukine, so having friends who do means a lot to him.
And yeah, he would totally rock the police uniform. Surprisingly he cleans up nicely once out of that damn tracksuit...]
no subject
You wouldn't. I'd blast you out before you even started. [Which isn't an inconvenience. That's entertainment. But Katsuki takes his position on the police force very seriously, so he expects Yato to think long and hard about whether he wants to enter the position. There was a lot of slack and corruption in the police when the hero signed on. And while there still is, HIS sector cleaned house in a month thanks to his demanding nature and exacting heroism. He'll expect Yato to have similar standards.
But the god's not wrong; the police force position will give him a lot of opportunities to move around the city. Stakeout in a hotel. Busting a drug deal in an alley. High speed chase down the high way. Perimeter patrols along the city walls. We can come up with all sorts of things the police get to do. Plus they have access to places in the city most other people don't. Did we mention the ass kicking? Legal ass kicking? Fucking awesome.]
Che. You'll have to make the force first. [Damn right it's a challenge! He glares at the elbow in his ribs and ignores it. Up top. Lower down he's kneeing Yato in the back of the leg for being a dumbass.]
no subject
Ehehe... Glad to know I can count on you. [He sounds a mite nervous there despite his grin. Getting blasted is fun sometimes, but not when Katsuki is really pissed, which he imagines he would be. Being a bit of a pushover nice guy, Yato might not be able to get his own department up to such exacting standards, but he sure wouldn't let any corruption or shoddy police work slide. He's lazy off the clock, not on.
Boy though, this is sounding more and more like his kind of work! Getting to help people and be sneaky like their undercover mission, chasing baddies and patrolling all appeal to his nature to kick ass. (Watch Yato decide to take Katsuki's role of hero to another level and start dressing the part with a cape and all that, haha...)]
I can do anything I put my mind to...! [It sounds more hopeful than confident, but hey, it's a start? He laughs at the kick, stumbling a bit while grinning at him.]
no subject
What kind of hero isn't reliable? [He wants to be the kind of person who people trust to follow through on his word! If he says he'll help, he's going to help! If he says fuck off, stop pleading with him cause he's not gonna do shit! Katsuki turns the corner and makes for another patch of sidewalk, not bothering to wait for the green light to turn red. They can skirt across the road further down where the traffic's less.
Katsuki's not going to demand Yato go to his own department. He'll be working in the segment Dynamight and Chainsaw Man both work in. But they might not be stationed in the same area or on the same cases all the time. He intends for their influence to spread before bothering to throw other Outsiders to other places to serve as seeds. But good to know Yato's not gonna be lazy on the job and let corruption seep around while he's working.
Look, he wants Yato to work on the police force. Steady work, steady pay, plenty of perks, no one here's as dangerous as the kaiju, so what the hell do they have to fear? But unfortunately he's spent months with the god and seen him bounce from one job to the next. Yato has a reputation in Katsuki's mind, and he's not gonna stake his own reputation on the police force by making a shitty gamble. So he intends to be sure of his choice-- and in this case, Yato's choice --before closing the deal.]
Uh-huh. [Does he believe that? ... Yes. But Yato so seldom puts his mind to something for that level of commitment.] Think about it, talk to Hiyori, and let me know at the end of next month.
[Since they're gonna be dealing with a kaiju in June, as the pattern goes.]
no subject
Certainly not you, that's for sure. Maybe lazy ones? [That's one of Katsuki's major virtues, after all: he follows through on what he says, sans killing people. That part is just posturing, as Yato's learned. More than happy to let him take the lead, Yato follows along, though he does double check for oncoming traffic just in case. No more immortal body makes him a touch nervous.
Being set up with people he knows already would make for a more appealing job prospect, it's true. He likes being around his friends more than strangers, especially in crowded situations. And it's much easier to work with those whose abilities you know, making them a more successful team overall. Besides, extra eyes are always good for making sure no wrongdoing or slacking goes under the radar!
Honestly, that's entirely fair and justified. Yato, for all his wayward tendencies and laziness, wouldn't want to do anything to put Katsuki's position at risk, especially not through his own misbehavior. He may be questionable at holding job work, but he's dedicated to his friends, full stop. At worst he might ask the department head for a trial run just to ensure he can handle the work. (Which he likely can. Beating up kaiju and slaying ayakashi is more dangerous than most criminals.)]
Mmmhmm! You betcha! I'm definitely gonna give it plenty of serious thought. Thanks, Katsuki.
[Hopefully their next kaiju won't prove too distracting from his musing. He'll probably even make a pros and cons list to talk it over with Hiyori.]
no subject
Katsuki wouldn't bring Yato into a strange place and throw him out alone. He intends to have Yato join the same precinct he and Denji work in and scheduling will go from there. Most of last year, Katsuki had no real control over when and where he and his partner were working together. When they started dating, that got more frustrating, especially for Denji. So he made sure their continued service on the force, starting this year, brought his and Denji's schedules far more in line with each other, with some understandable flexibility as necessary. Yato will likely have a similar voice for his schedule if/when he joins.
He's gonna have a wife to go back to soon. It'd suck to get married and be put on night shift for months.
A trial run might sound weird when applying for a police position, but Yato'll likely get it. The police aren't going to turn down an Outsider's offer to help.]
Yeah, yeah. Don't gush at me. [Katsuki locks onto the soba shop, a little squat building nestled in a small garden between some other buildings. It keeps its own place stubbornly. Traditional decor and setting. Shoto's kind of place.] How long have you held a job here?
no subject
Thankfully even if he did end up soloing for a while, Yato's used to working (mostly) alone save for having a shinki as a partner. So if he gets teamed up with a stranger, it shouldn't be too different for him, although he would definitely prefer being alongside Katsuki and Denji if given the choice. So long as he gets to go home to Hiyori at night, he'll be content with whatever assignments they give him.
Since one thing he likes to do is have dinner ready for her, whether it's something simple like fish and rice or more elaborate as a treat.
Once he gets the hang of the work, he'll probably settle in quite nicely, provided they don't put him on desk duty for long periods. That might have him climbing the walls on top of being a waste of his combat skills.]
Hehe, okay. [It's an appealing little restaurant, even if it can barely be called such. A few seats is all one needs when getting soba, after all.] A month, maybe two? Not very long... But I've tried a lot of things! I started off as a private investigator, then tried manicurist, pet photographer, shoe salesman, and restaurant reviewer.
no subject
Sometimes Katsuki and Denji have to work with others. They're not strangers anymore, considering they've been working on the police force for over a year now, bare the occasional newbie signing on. Yato will pick up and befriend a lot of them if he starts working there, so he won't be the outlier for long. He's a lot friendlier than Katsuki, that's for sure. But odds are they'll work together on missions needing more power.
And no, they're not gonna put him on a desk job. Though the officers do have to fill out some paperwork after a case for records. Since they were the eye-witnesses most of the time.]
Why'd you leave? [He knows the answer, mostly, but wants Yato to confront his own preferences in preface to thinking about taking a job he's gonna be expected to serve at least half a year on. Katsuki opens the door and heads inside.]
no subject
If working with others is anything like their undercover mission he joined in on a while back, then he's got no qualms about having teammates and partners helping out. Or being the one helping. Either or is good to him. He just needs a place to belong where he can aid others and be allowed to roam on occasion.
No desk work though! Yay! Reports aren't such a bad thing, although he'll have to make sure not to get too poetic in his descriptions of what happened. He's a bit artsy like that.]
Restlessness, mostly. When I slay ayakashi, things are always unpredictable and vary from day to day. So having the same thing happening for months on end... it just doesn't suit me. [Which is why he's hopeful that being on the police force will grant him both security and the freedom to patrol the city itself.]
no subject
Yato might find he's paired up with people he's come to like. Katsuki usually prefers to work alone or with Denji, though he has a few people on the force he doesn't mind working with compared to others. Yato will probably have similar in time. Once he gets his feet settled in.
Phhht, Katsuki would be both amused and pissed if he had to sit through on of Yato's flowery reports. Denji complains about his paperwork at ties, and Katsuki'd be lying if he said he didn't sometimes do his boyfriend's reports. He'll do any they're both teamed up on. They're usually not too long. An hour at max, and that's rare.]
Hmph. Some weeks can be boring as fuck. Others are hectic. [The life of a police man is pretty unpredictable. But given the nature of the city and the derelict state of the outskirts, Yato will probably have plenty to deal with. Along with free time to explore and wander in his new job.]
no subject
At least Katsuki would never be bored reading one of Yato's reports! Annoyed as hell for it being so long and florid, maybe, but not bored. Probably. As long as they get the details of events down right, it probably matters less who does the reports. A well-written one by Katsuki is likely better than an impatiently scrawled one from Denji.]
Yeah, I can imagine. It's like that with ayakashi, too. There'll be peaceful stretches, then suddenly it seems like they all act up at once. Which they kinda do. [More and more he's liking the sound of becoming a member of the force. It's not too unfamiliar, yet it'll let him learn new things, meet new people, and help the citizens without there needing to be a kaiju to beat.]
no subject
There are some things he'd rather be bored at than deal with. As if he'd actually read through the entire thing. Probably storm into Yato's office or to his desk, throw it right in his face, and shout at him to shorten his words! They don't need to know how many buttons are on the guy's shirt or what the history of this road is! Unless it's relevant to the case. But if he has that good an eye for detail, odds are Yato's gonna work some with the detectives and forensics as well.]
Aa. Criminals can't fucking schedule themselves. [Like it's the bad guys' faults. It is and Katsuki will always blame them for making other people's lives harder, no matter what their shitty reasons are!]
no subject
After a few visits like that, Yato would finally get the hint and stick to vital details, saving the more colorful reports for Hiyori back home. Though should any bad guys ever escape, such minor things might actually come in handy. Hopefully that won't happen too often, though. He wants a clean track record!]
That'd be pretty funny if they did. Take turns and come in waves like the kaiju. That's one thing I'm grateful for - us usually getting a break between them. [Too bad people aren't so predictable. Although it's also good they're not highly organized, otherwise there'd be even more trouble.]
no subject
Watch Hiyori end up taking notes as Yato regales her with his exploits during the day. Maybe she'll be able to parse out the purple prose and get to the true heart of the matter. This is her fiance after all. Katsuki isn't gonna criticize Yato for having a sharp eye and gather details. But not all of it belongs on a summary report. He's free to detail everything on a long form report afterwards. Unfortunately on his "own time" but some people like doing that?]
Aa. Those bastards show up like clockwork each time. [Which makes not being able to counter them even worse, considering they should know when to expect them. Thankfully their efforts in Egypt proved they could preemptively locate and strike the kaiju, though it was already influencing people from afar... Still, step in the right direction.]
