TEAM BUILDING EVENT #1

TEAM BUILDING EVENT #1


CONTENT WARNINGS: forced scenarios, violence & action scenarios, thalassophobia, mass death & injury from natural disaster.

β–Ά 001. GET ALONG PROMPT

LILITH is highly invested in the physical and mental well-being of its employees. A happy and connected workforce is a strong workforce, after all. However, SYNTHIA has picked up on many instances of discontent between Outsiders - people being blocked by each other on LINE, or teetering on the edge of having a fight (you know who you are and so does SYNTHIA, surprise!) That just won't do. Outsiders who cannot get along will fail miserably when it's time for teamwork. That is why this month's team-building exercise aims to spread positivity amongst the Outsiders. We all gotta get along in the middle of a crisis.

Whether you are looking someone in the face, texting them, or staring at their profile on the network, you receive a prompt from SYNTHIA, followed by an image (exactly as pictured, Shutterstock watermark and all):



"LILITH promotes a positive working environment. Why don't you pay this Outsider a compliment or do something nice for them? Or else :) Noncompliance will result in disciplinary action."



True enough, ignoring the prompt a total of 5 times will result in characters being transported to their rooms and put under house arrest - ahem, time out for a total of 2 days. It doesn't hurt to play along, right? As a note, the prompts become especially persistent when you're faced with someone you dislike. Should Outsiders try to leave their room during this time, they will find the automatic doors do not open the typical way (retina scan and thumb print.) They are trapped! Perhaps asking SYNTHIA for some mercy with positive compliments directed her way will do the trick (it won't, bu you can try!) Remember, Outsiders can speak to SYNTHIA anytime. She's everywhere all the time. Consider her your prettier Alexa. In fact, she might be flattered by that compliment.


β–Ά 002. TEAM ACTIVITIES.

You've had your fun back at the MAIN BASE. Now it's time to work. Outsiders will be sent back out towards Tokyo Bay while LILITH's research crew continues to try and detect the source of the strong waves. The city is in disarray after the tsunami, with the less secured buildings torn down and many lives lost. Morale within Neo Tokyo is at an all time low even with civilians comforting one another. Each Outsider will receive a small mission brief marked in the colours of their respective team as they are once again flown via helicopter to the designated area.

REDEMPTION:
Outsiders within REDEMPTION are tasked to spread joy in the streets and at the hospital. Be creative in how you wish to do this, whether it's putting on a performance, a skit, or spreading kindness with gifts and sweet gestures. Those with a Style Upgrade are encouraged to use their chip to don funny and eye catching costumes to entertain the civilians. Those with a healing upgrade are highly encouraged to help medical staff.

REVELATION:
Outsiders within REVELATION are tasked with babysitting duties. Many parents are still recovering in the hospital and there's no one to watch their children while they recover. A lot of pets need looking after too! Make sure the children and furbabies are fed, clothed and getting enough sleep. This can even include filling in for classrooms that have recently lost their teacher. Outsiders in REVELATION are encouraged to keep a tally of the census and go looking for lost children if someone seems to be missing.

EVERLIGHT:
Outsiders within EVERLIGHT will be tasked with keeping the people fed and the local businesses running. This can mean organising a soup kitchen, preparing homecooked meals for the civilians and delivering hot meals door to door. It can also mean helping local businesses with repairs to their shops, bringing them supplies and filling in for the staff they might have lost. The city might have just been hit with a tsunami, but that doesn't mean it needs to shut down!

BRIMSTONE:
Outsiders within BRIMSTONE are the luckiest of the lot - they get to be clean up crew. They will be mandated to wear hazmat suits in outrageous colours along with breathing gear. Why? Because they will be scrubbing the whole place of rubble, dirt, debris and corpses. Yes, corpses. Outsiders within BRIMSTONE will be given a census and tasked with identifying any dead body they find. They will then need to transport the corpse to the nearest LILITH disposal truck on a stretcher, where LILITH will cremate it properly. Note that they will be some survivors in the mix, so be prepared to administer first aid and conduct rescue operations accordingly.

Within certain parts of the city (the sewers, in particular, which have flooded with water), the natural flora seems to have been poisoned by a mysterious element. Toxic, monstrous plants are coming alive and attacking anything they see! They bind and strangle Outsiders with their vines and sting them with their nettles. These plants need to be dealt with before they overgrow. Fire & ice works well on them.

"Good afternoon, Angels of LILITH. Please pay close attention to the brief sent to you. We have specific duties for each team. Once you have done enough work, you will be prompted to help another team with their tasks if you desire. Our research crew is searching for the source of the kaiju and we have received information it is in the ocean. Please be ready in case it makes an appearance again before we can find it. You will be staying in Moonlight Inn & 11 Hours hostel once again as we should remain close by. Thank you for the cooperation."


Outsiders will need to finish their team missions. However, if they have time afterward and want to do some overtime, they are more than welcome to help the other teams on their missions.

β–Ά 003. IT ISN'T OVER YET.

Those who remember the mission brief two weeks ago will know that the first shockwaves are usually the sign of an impending kaiju. LILITH is conducting their own investigations, but with a fresh and energetic workforce it only makes sense to ultilize it. All Outsiders will be given orders to collect samples and bring it back for ongoing testing. By samples, they mean contaminated fish or ocean life remains, or samples of the toxic plants appearing in the sewers.

For Outsiders braving the sewers, they will need to don the silly hazmat suits issued to BRIMSTONE for their own protection and fight off the monstrous plants to clip some samples. It's encouraged to get leaves, stems, seeds, flowers or the whole plant if you can manage it. (Note that collecting the whole plant in a sample container will result in said plant hissing and striking you through the glass.)

For Outsiders who feel like taking a swim, they will be given diving suits and ordered to take a dive in Tokyo Bay. Once in the waters, they are to hunt down and capture any contaminated fish or marine life they can find. This means tuna fish with three eyes or octopi with two heads and 16 legs. It's encouraged to capture them live, but LILITH will also accept remains or waste samples. (Note that the available oxygen in the tank is limited and attempting to swim too far from Neo Tokyo will likely result in an Outsider drowning. )






β–Ά 004. AFTERWORD.



Welcome to our first CR Building event! All prompts are highly encouraged but OOCly optional. Characters are encouraged to participate in their team-specific missions but can help out the other teams if they have time. Feel free to ask any event-related questions below!

As always, you are free to check out our main base and locations page and make up your own prompts!

Please note that all tags in this log will count for 2 reward points each. Have fun! The next log will feature the kaiju fight and will be posted on FEBRUARY 1st in lieu of a TDM.

[Kaworu please, this boy was just cleaning and minding his own business. His mind was somewhere far away, which is how Kaworu managed to sneak up on Raidou like that. Now you're asking him to do something he is notoriously bad at.

He looks at Kaworu for a moment as the prompt now displays in his field of vision. He's speechless for a moment as he reads it. Is this for real?]


Why are you-- [He's not good with anyone being close like this. He slides away a little.]

I don't... know?

[Tut tut, Raidou. That's strike one, his display says.]
peripheries: (HAVE YOU HEARD THE GOOD WORD ABT ADAM)

[personal profile] peripheries 2024-01-17 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Come on.

You're going to get in trouble. Surely you've complimented someone before.

[Says the guy who's never complimented anyone before.]
the_fourteenth: (070)

[personal profile] the_fourteenth 2024-01-17 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
I-- well, yes, but--

[Honest to God, last time he tried back home he made someone cry out of embarrassment. This is honestly the worst thing to put him through. Now it's a hundred times harder because he doesn't know the person.]

Have you, ah, done anything lately you didn't receive recognition for?

[There, that's a start, right?]
peripheries: (im not saying that mlk jr was a gamer.)

[personal profile] peripheries 2024-01-19 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
I've never gotten much recognition for anything! I've always been kept in the shadows.

[SEELE wasn't the praising type. Plus his exemplary piloting skills were more of a curiosity than a marvel.]

What do you think is worthy of recognition?
the_fourteenth: (117)

[personal profile] the_fourteenth 2024-01-19 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
I see. [Relatable, really. Very few people back home know what Raidou really does for the city.]

Ah, I guess... A job well done? Some kind of personal goal achieved? Um... I'm not sure how serious they need to be, but Sythnia is awfully insistent.

[She doesn't like your hesitation, Kuzunoha! Say something nice to your coworker already.]

I'm sure you're, ah, a valuable asset to your team and to the Outsiders as a whole.

[There. Nice and generic.]
peripheries: (is it gay if the dicks don't touch)

[personal profile] peripheries 2024-01-19 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
[The feeling is nice. A little feeling of warmth but it passes quickly. Curious.]

Hmm. I thought I'd feel happier from receiving a compliment... How happy are they supposed to make you feel?
the_fourteenth: (007)

[personal profile] the_fourteenth 2024-01-19 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, I suppose that depends on who you're getting it from, and the sincerity behind it.

[That feels like he's telling on himself though. Just a random teammate's words won't work, will they. He gives a little apologetic bow.]

Sorry. It's not that I didn't mean it, it's just-- I suppose it's hard to do when put on the spot.
peripheries: (chairitable)

[personal profile] peripheries 2024-01-21 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm.

[He wilts a little but he doesn't seem crushed. In fact, he seems a like he expected that.]

So what you're saying is that you didn't really mean what you said in your heart. It's just a platitude and that's why it doesn't satisfy me either.
the_fourteenth: (070)

[personal profile] the_fourteenth 2024-01-21 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Raidou looks like he feels a little bad when Kaworu looks disappointed.]

I-- I guess it's difficult when you don't know someone well. Ah, but, we can try to change that? I'm Kuzunoha. Nice to meet you.

[Gotta start somewhere. Another little bow for his introduction. He's very polite.]
peripheries: (the blue sky knocks on the heart's door)

[personal profile] peripheries 2024-01-23 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Nagisa. Kaworu Nagisa.

[He doesn't bow, he just idly sticks his hands in his pockets.]

How do we get to know each other?
the_fourteenth: (044)

[personal profile] the_fourteenth 2024-01-23 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's great that Kaworu has picked one of the most awkward ducks on the base to ask this of. Raidou has to think on this.]

Um, you spend time with one another, I suppose. Or ask questions? Find out if you have anything in common.
peripheries: (time to suit up)

[personal profile] peripheries 2024-01-27 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
I see.

[He tries to think. "Evangelion pilot" is a very unlikely point of commonality.]

Do you play piano?
the_fourteenth: (066)

[personal profile] the_fourteenth 2024-01-27 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[In fairness, neither is "demon summoner". Especially one who is new to the whole having hobbies and free time thing. He shakes his head.]

Afraid not. I never had time to learn. I take it you do?
peripheries: (beware the gay agenda)

[personal profile] peripheries 2024-01-29 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. It was something that my creators had me learn. I guess they felt music was one of the few respectable things about humanity.

And I agree. Music is impressive.

What do you do if not music?

[Just... continuing. Casually.]
the_fourteenth: (037)

[personal profile] the_fourteenth 2024-01-30 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... do you mean for work?

[Because if it's hobbies, well, he's working on that.]

Back home, I was a summoner. I worked in protecting my city from the threat of demons. Training and investigation for my work is mostly what I do. Ah, did.

[He's still training a lot, anyway.]
peripheries: (you belong in this world if you have 5k)

[personal profile] peripheries 2024-02-01 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
...So you define yourself by your occupation?

[It's not mocking. Instead it's something between curious and amused.]

How do you feel now that you no longer can do it?
the_fourteenth: (023)

[personal profile] the_fourteenth 2024-02-01 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Some people might take that question the wrong way, but for Raidou, it's an absolute fact of his life. Even his name is just a title given to him by his line of work.

While Raidou is by no means the most expressive person, he definitely is effected by that second question. He shakes it off, facade as cool as ever.]


Ah. Well... My duties have changed from demons to kaiju, I suppose. I can still help and protect people here from threats beyond their ability. That much hasn't changed.

[Deflection time.] What about you? If you were brought here by LILITH, you must have some sort of similar experience. Fighting, or protection?
