DOWNTIME MINGLE / TEAM BUILDING #9
DOWNTIME MINGLE #9
▶ 001. WINNER'S CIRCLE.
The Outsiders have returned to a base that looks far healthier than the one that was left behind, and the decorations reflect the success of the latest missions. With the staff mostly recovered from their bout of flu, the decorations are back in full force, a celebration of the heroic achievements of the Angels against their own.
The less said about that the better.
Some things don't change, however, and the fresh food is at the ready, with only some of the meat looking questionable in a gentle change of pace. Another familiar sight is the bulletin board, though these particular results might come with more of a heavy heart than usual:
FIRST BATTLE:
HONORARY BABYGIRL (K.O.)
KIJYO & AUO (600)
SECOND BATTLE:
GOLDILOCKS (K.O.)
DESTINY & GREATVALUE (600)
The return of the Outsiders and the rebuilding of the base has led to an almost accidental rebranding of some of the fashion choices from the citizens of Neo Tokyo. A new trend has washed over the hip youth, leaving some of the outlet stores scrambling to keep up with the ensuing demand; chokers are now in, especially those affixed with little metal shapes - Xs, Os and, strangely, a cat paw...? Each to their own!
Some of the more eccentric of the fashionistas have worked magic on their chokers, matching it with the technology of the modern world, allowing for yellow-green sparks of electricity to cross along and around the band. When asked about it, all they'll say is they want to show "Setsuna-kun" their pride.
One of the more famous of the entrepreneurs, dressed in the finest of the new aesthetics, has also published her newest work to (varying) critical acclaim! A series of short comics have been distributed under the pen name PINKLIZARDLVR, detailing the star-crossed romance of a beautiful young woman and her monstrous partner, the highs and lows of making the relationship work and the horror at the revelation of the truths of their relationship. The front cover boasts a full art page, the tagline reading 'I know what you are...'
When shopping for your latest piece of literature, you might also find a new brand of chocolate on sale and flying off the shelves. These coins have a very particular golden glow, and can sometimes be mistaken for the real thing if you're willing to risk the attempt. The children of Neo Tokyo are particularly impressed with the new currency in circulation, especially since vendors who are accidentally given possession of them seem more than willing to throw them aside for the nearest hand to catch.
Children aren't just obsessing over chocolate lately, not with the new action figure on the market with its own special edition - you can buy the standalone, or the limited run that comes with an automaton, both of which have moveable parts! Part of the novelty is building the toys themselves, almost like putting together a custom robot at home, and the other part is trying to chase down that limited edition version rumored to have voice lines. If you're lucky, you might hear a soft echo of Yes, Absolutely, Handsome.
The real collector's item of the moment is a new line of wooden animals. They're gaining popularity, not just with children, but as a hot collector's item for salarymen too! After work is done, the line for the local toy store is outrageous, a mixture of exasperated parents and half-asleep office workers desperate to get their hands on the latest shipment. People are trading them voraciously, doing all they can to complete their collection, but the rarest and most desired is an off-model cardinal with an eye scratched out.
Beyond the main city hub and out into the quieter areas of the capital, there are some more subtle trends taking place. Local shrines have picked up on the 'gold coin' fascination in the younger generations and fashioned their own wearable five-yen pieces, for earrings and bracelets. Each purchase is relatively cheap, but in the 'terms and conditions' on the sign promoting the sale is a sentence written in small font: 5% of profits go to our Destiny.

▶ 002. STATE OF THE BASE.
Finally, the Neo Tokyo base has been repaired. After being attacked on the inside by a fearsome kaiju known as the Imugi, Outsiders had been temporarily housed in a back up base located in Kyoto. With the repairing of the base, LILITH was also able to renovate and improve the base with some new additions. Although most of them are still getting the finishing touches done, Outsiders are free to explore them as they like.
1.) Kaiju Kafe (Across from cafeteria): A casual cafe across the hall from the cafeteria, if Outsiders are not feeling the free cafeteria food, they may explore options at the Kaiju Kafe! The restaurant serves casual dining with better ingredients for a price. The menu is still in the works, but you can ask the head chef, Laios Touden, for any samples that he might be working on. This week is their soft opening and the menu consists of crispy coconut crab stir fry, roasted Yama-Kujira meat on artificial bread, lab grown fruit salad and steamed rice. They are hiring chefs and waiters!
2.) Room Variety: Now that the rooms are remade, they are now upgraded to be small suites that consist of a kitchenette, a small open area, and a loft. It's small but cozy (or cramped, depending on how your character views it). When the rooms are rebuilt, they'll start off with some basic starter furniture and can get a hologram upgrade for a quick fix, but they will be free to decorate it on their own with their own money. In the library, Outsiders will be able to find some decorating and small-space style guides to help give them a creative push!
3.) Game Room (Next to Simulation Arena): A recreation room was added, so characters can relax and mingle together. There will be some retro game systems (SNES, Wii, the Playstation 12, and so on) along with more traditional games like board games, cards, and so on. It runs 24/7 and has a variety of vending machines for late snack drinks and snacking.
4.) Improved Medical Bay: In general, the medical wing will have shared rooms for space/efficiency reasons, but they will set some space aside for private rooms for those who may require them. There will be a small couch for guests to sleep on, if they need to stay close.. Dr. Spim and the medical staff are also excited to introduce new Nursing Robots, who will be helping out. They'll mostly do basic tasks like check in patients, collect info, issue prescriptions, and assist the real doctors/nurses.
5.) Communal Kitchen: Outsiders can also still use the base's cafeteria for this, or they can use the new base restaurant. While resources can still be scarce at times, and ingredients can be limited, they aren’t always impossible to get things, especially if Outsiders work together to get them (like with Raidou's Okinawa farm project).
Outsiders may spend time exploring these upgrades and seeing the improvements on base in their spare time. Maybe sit down and start planning out your new rooms while in the Kaiju Kafe, or kick back for some Maria Kart to decimate your teammates! (As friends, of course!) This are all improvements that were crowdfunded from this post. Thank you all for your efforts!
ADDENDUM: As part of the base upgrades/repairs, the housing for Outsiders has been reshuffled - take a look to see who your new neighbors are!

▶ 003. TEAM GET-ALONG.
It's been a while, and maybe some Outsiders remember the Get Along handcuffs from last year. They are back, now, but this time with a twist! Like before, Outsiders will be required to check in with Commander Yamakawa when she asks for them to arrive in the Simulation Arena. A metal device will place a small, metal device on their wrists.
With a push of a button, two characters will be linked together by the wrist by a pair of invisible handcuffs. Before, these devices will unlatch after 48 hours, but this time, they will not unlatch until the characters do three of the following (yes, all three!)
1. Confess a secret to the other person.
2. Compliment something about them, appearance or otherwise.
3. Hug Them.
Once both Outsiders have completed all three tasks, the handcuffs will break free.

▶ 004. TRAFFIC JAMS & ROCK BANDS.
Recent reports have filtered out from LILITH that a pair of major traffic jams have stopped all transport of supplies, equipment, and individuals in Neo Tokyo. Two major thoroughfares have been blocked for half a day before Outsiders have been given the alert, and Commander Yamakawa’s instructions filter out to all outsiders.
“It seems that with all the recent chaos, we have more Kaiju in Neo Tokyo than anticipated. These aren’t destroying anything, though. It looks like they might be stuck. Our scientists have identified that they may be best released to the water after they have been analyzed, but getting them to move might be.. tricky.”
Outsiders will be given information about these Kaiju, the Xiphosuransus. They look like a giant horseshoe crab. There is no sign of rift energy or rifts nearby.. Where did they come from? Observations have concluded that the Kaiju are not hostile, and generally don’t attack anyone or anything, but they can be fairly uncoordinated on land, there are concerns about it crushing civilians. They have also been reacting strongly to the music playing from advertising billboards to hint that maybe music is the key to motivate them to move.
LILITH is asking outsiders to treat them with care and see if they can move them out of town without disrupting traffic too much. Outsiders who are interested in escorting the payload– I mean, the kaiju– will find that there are two of these kaiju across the region. One in Akihabara and another in Ikebukuro. Since they are not hostile, LILITH is asking Outsiders to bring them to base to be analyzed (not killed, Yamakawa promises.) Perhaps something about these docile giants can give LILITH more information about rifts and kaiju. Successful Outsiders will receive a payment for their efforts, and the one in Ikebukuro will be worth more money because of one obstacle: somehow it got flipped on its back, and because of its broken stinger, it is unable to move back on its feet. It will require more effort.
(Outsiders who are interested in helping corral the Xiphosuransus should comment in the box below. Generally, teams of 3-4 Outsiders is best. Come up with a plan for how the Outsiders will get the kaiju to move, and two teams will be selected as successful! Please make your submissions by 7/25. Unlike our RNG events, we will be looking at both the method to moving the kaiju and the music choice picked as they both have different tastes in music!)

█ █ █ MONSTER DEBRIEF SHEET
NAME: Xiphosuransus
HEIGHT: 12m
WEIGHT: 1000 tons
CLASS: Non-threat
LOCATION: Akihabara, Ikebukuro, Neo Tokyo, Japan
ABILITIES: This kaiju has a protective shell and can hide from most threats. It has no teeth, claws, and its stinger is harmless. It's only purpose is to flip itself back over.
WEAKNESSES: Being tipped on its back and unable to move, attacked on its vulnerable stomach through any sharp object.
EXTRA NOTES: LILITH has specified this kaiju WILL NOT be killed. Hurting it could cause disciplinary action. This kaiju seems to be attracted to music and can even be seen "shaking" to certain beats (it's dancing.)
RIFT EFFECTS: None.

▶ 005. OPEN FORUM.
While LILITH has spent much of the month tending to the civilians, LILITH also wants to give Outsiders a space to just chat and put out their feelings. Apparently some of you have some big ones to share. Once more, they will find the trusty forum reopened for everyone to participate in.
On the forum, they will have several headers, including general topics such as hobbies, or life advice, to even popularized internet sensations such as AITA. As LILITH encourages everyone to post, those with worries or thoughts on their mind may discover them already uploaded. Oops.
While it may clearly be another prank by everyone's favorite LILITH personnel, it's clear that it also has a practical use too. People will find headers for information and other happenings on base and are able to discuss freely.
[ Note: Feel free to use this as a general text option! Characters who may not be willing to engage are free to presume their thoughts are posted right up in whatever format is comfortable for everyone, whether that be AITA, or general/relationship advice.
You can use the coding below or come up with your own! We have also come up with some headers.

Last night I spent too much time in the rec room, and I heard the weirdest noises. Honestly? It sounded like a Kaiju was making a mess in the bathroom. I've never heard anything like it. I asked another guy down the hall if he heard it, and he said yes. So what gives? Has anyone else heard this? Someone has to know what the source of the horrible sounds was, right? Did anyone else die? Are we haunted? Or did a kaiju get in the building during construction???
▶ 005. AFTERWORD.
This is Downtime Mingle / Team Building #9. All comments in this event count for 2 points towards July AC. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask them below.
EVENT BREAKDOWN/RECAP (CLICK TO EXPAND)
1. WINNER'S CIRCLE: The Neo Tokyo base now renovated, new trends are hitting the streets from our latest kaiju winners!
2. STATE OF THE BASE: An update on the base and it's renovations. Please give it a good read and make note of it! Room upgrades, an onsite restaurant, improve recreation area, etc.
3. TEAM GET-ALONG: Characters who have not been getting along will be handcuffed together until they complete three tasks: admit a secret, compliment the other person and also give them a hug.
4. TRAFFIC JAMS & ROCK BANDS: Giant horseshoe crab kaijus have appeared in Akihabara and Ikebukuro! LILITH wants to research them since they seem docile and drawn to music. Can your team figure out what kind of music each one likes and lure it back to base?
5. OPEN FORUM.: Asking advice or letting out your frustrations online is always super healthy (texting prompt.)

[Hell, Crosshair Eyes almost broke his classmate's spine in three different places getting him to try out armor she hadn't calibrated! No wonder people avoid the department unless driven by necessity.]
Bigger. [Watermelons that go up to your waist, but she's close. People who can moderate would pick one and use it to serve as many as possible. But others would grab two or three, eat what they want, and leave the rest to rot. Hence the caution if she goes there. It's one of the few non-negatively rift-touched places in this world.
He picks up one of his skewers and bites the first piece of meat off. Not even gonna question what it is for now.] What kind of priestess are you? A deity's or some force of nature.
no subject
[They're always blowing things up or freezing them over or electrocuting themselves trying to fine-tune new spells, and then they come to her temple to get themselves fixed up. They're heavy on the enthusiasm and lite on the self-preservation.]
Woah, that’s gotta take some really sturdy farmers to harvest.
[Now she’s even more curious to go check it out.]
I’m a priestess of Althena, the Goddess of my world. Nobody that I've met here has heard of her before.
no subject
[People who go digging for new facts and lessons often run on a path of could rather than should. They don't always care about what comes of their findings, only that they found something. Good or bad results? Who gives a shit. Next thing!]
Aa. LILITH mostly uses drones if they harvest them.
[She can find the teleporter whenever she wants. Mind, she's likely gonna puke after her first trip.]
It's the same Greek goddess with an extra "L" thrown in!
[That's cheating!]
no subject
But disrespect the Goddess on her watch? No way, no how! She squeezes the crab leg she just picked up way too hard and shatters the shell right to pieces.]
What? No it's not! [She has no idea who Athena is but right now she doesn't care.] You don't know anything about Althena, and whoever the Greeks are, they should learn to spell better!
no subject
Bakugo has no clue about how "crops" happen in this world. The fruit and groves at Okinawa were a relatively recent discovery.]
Haa?! Yes it is! [He just told her the Greek goddess' name to her face!] They spelled it "Athena" without the "L"! You wanna look it up on the net, go for it!
no subject
What? Listen, dummy, my Goddess is nothing like her, except the names are kinda similar. Althena created the whole world, and she doesn't need 11 other gods to help run things!
[Sorry to Athena, but Jessica has clear and unshakable loyalties to her deity.]
no subject
[Don't call him stupid for not knowing your world's goddess, dammit! Otherwise he's gonna call you stupid for not knowing one from his world! Nyeh! Maturity at its finest.]
no subject
[She's not the one in the wrong here! She takes a mouthful of crab and chews it aggressively...
...and the anger drains away. The balm of delicious food, it does wonders for her mood.]
So, what do you do?
no subject
[Don't make him sound like he's got some kind of interest in your misspelled Athena knock off!
He's taking a chunk out of his food, chewing with similar force before swallowing.]
I'm a police officer here.
no subject
You're a police officer? Have you ever gotten called in on yourself for disturbing the peace?
no subject
[What kind of shitty cop does she think he is?!]
no subject
Ok, ok. What's the coolest thing that you've done on the job?
[That seems like a pretty safe topic while they continue chowing down on their respective meals.]
no subject
There's a good question.
his boyfriend, nar har har]Stopped an underground black market selling stolen kaiju parts and lab experiments.
no subject
nice]That sounds exciting. Was there a big confrontation in their lair? Did anyone go undercover?
[She’s game to keep pestering him for more details as they finish up their respective lunches.]
no subject
[Yes, a very big confrontation in which many embarrassing things happened. To others, not him. He was awesome.]
no subject
Twenty people undercover? The group must've been huge! Did any of them get away?
no subject
Che! You think I'd let any of those assholes get away! Don't look down on me!
[no one got away.]
no subject
[No shade on his work (this time). Jessica's only got some vague ideas- reinforced by the television shows she's seen since she got here- of how police work goes.]
Good job, then!
no subject
[And tears the final piece of meat from his skewer as if to punctuate his statement with vicious finality. Sounds sure of himself too.]
No one figured out how the dealers got their hands on LILITH's lab work.
no subject
Do you think there's a mole in the labs?
[What a scandal!]
no subject
[That or the person who died soon after the event was publicly SAID to be the mole. There's been no real confirmation.]
no subject
[Jessica's glee at the excitement of Bakugo's story dims. Yeah, it's good for people to get their comeuppance if they do something bad, but dying for it seems a little too extreme.
She's gotten the sense, talking to other Outsiders, that the world she comes from is a kinder one than theirs. Maybe she's sheltered, but she wants people who do crimes to get punished, and then learn the errors of their ways and learn to be better. But this lab guy won't ever get the chance for that.]
I guess... it's good that the labs are secure again. And the criminals aren't running around free, so the streets are safer.
[She pushes the last bit of coconut crab around on her plate, appetite gone.]
You've got a pretty dangerous job, huh?
no subject
Consequences. Bakugo's from a world with superheros and supervillains, a hero society, and all the pros and cons with it. Some people don't get the chance to learn from their mistakes and improve to a better life... World's not that nice.]
Hmph. Stomp out one criminal, another one shows up sooner or later.
[The curse of being with humans. Bakugo finishes his own food and sets his chopsticks down. Wasn't bad for a new place. Which served kaiju and monster fare.]
Che! None of these assholes compare to the criminals I fought back home.
no subject
Do you like being here? Since the criminals back home were so bad?
no subject
A much more matured and improved dick than he was a year and a half ago in his world... Jessica would've walked out on him hours ago if she met his middle school self. Yikes.
His expression narrows. Shit, he hates that question. Such a simple answer, but complex all the same.]
Does anyone like being a prisoner?
