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.

[ One would think and yet.... ]

Something about a chip malfunctioning.

[ He's still not as up-to-date as he should be with all the tech here, though not for lack of trying, but after the number of times his own style upgrade's glitched on him these past few weeks, he's starting to think that maybe there's nothing so bad about reverting back to good ol' traditional paper.

(Is it time for his upgrade to glitch again into something stupid? Stay tuned....) ]


Either way, this is all I got. Suppose I could do a search through one of those animal shelter listings to see if anyone's found all the pets I'm supposed to be looking for.

[ Though with all the pop-ups he keeps getting every time he tries to search for something, he'd really rather look for another way. Please Izou-wan (hah) Kenobi, you're his best hope.... ]

( me running to see what wriowrio's style glitch is again...

izou clicks his tongue, because if that's all they've got to work with, then there's no use in pushing the topic any further, and as much as he liked to brag, he couldn't just... pop information out of nowhere. nor was he any more decent than wriothesly at wrangling with the current technology. hell, he still hadn't worked out how to effectively block someone on the network. imagine the headaches he'd avoid if he could. )


Then our best bet right now's the last place I saw a couple skulkin' around with their nose to the ground. Plenty-a shade from the weather and all that.

( he tilts his head in the opposite direction, indicating that wriovonovsky should follow.

most establishments closer to the coast had opened their doors out of necessity to shelter the injured or distribute their commodities to people who were unfortunate enough to have lost their homes to the gut-wrenching waves. as they approach a bar along a street cluttered with neon lights, izou's hands in his pockets, a couple furry creatures scatter into the dark of an alley that leads to an empty lot. )

WRIOVONOVSKY? this is how other people feel when trying to type wriothesley huh

[personal profile] frostfist 2024-01-27 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ STOP IT WAS JUST A DRESS but ig you can pick a stupid outfit for him to glitch into in this thread....my gift to you

But thanks, Izou, for taking point on this mini mission. Once again, Wriothesley has made good use of the art of improvisation delegation and now he can return to his natural state of slacking (no).

He gestures for Izou to go ahead. ]


Lead the way then.

[ Time to head out! With the city still in a state of repair from the recent tsunami, the streets are a little emptier than usual. Hard to go back to work when your workplace no longer exists. Though there's still plenty of people out lining up at shelter doors, it looks like.

As they near the alley, he pipes up. ]


Do you usually keep such an close eye out for the local dogs?

[ Or is he just the kinda guy that pays attention to everything... ]

I do a lot of watching s'all. People, places. That's how I end up noticin' this stuff. Better to keep aware of your surroundings.

( he doesn't mention the following, the "kill who i tell you to kill" aspect of stalking people and keeping track of all the little things in the past. more than sparing wriothesley from those details, it just has no present relevance. )

Speakin' of surroundings...

( he gestures at the treats with one hand. )

Hand over the goods and wait here while I run 'em out. Unless you've got a way to go unnoticed.

[ Far be it from him to interrupt whatever plan this guy has got cooking in his head. He's the self-assigned dog expert and not Wriothesley, who has never owned a single pet in his life, so it only makes sense to let him work unobstructed. ]

I don't.

[ He's just a guy, capable of little more making some fancy ice sculptures and remembering people's talents. (Which, speaking of, he'll keep that little tidbit filed away for later use.) ]

So be my guest. [ Said with a flourish and a handover of his bag of treats. ] I'll stay here and keep watch...unless there's something else you need me to do?

( all he needs to hear is that "be my guest," and he accepts the bag without any fanfare or poise. there isn't much else to say, but he gives wriosuke a hand wave to signal that it's all good. he can just stay put.

it's then when izou heads down the alley that something a little... strange happens, if it's at all noticeable. the harsh sound of his footfall striking the pavement eventually fades, as if they were never there. there's no click of the heels, no squish of a damp shoe or splash of the puddle it can step into. there's simply an unnerving quiet where sound should be, his presence having all but vanished unless his current companion on this quest can feel the ebb and flow of a spirit.

moments later, the telltale barking of dogs can be heard, as well as the questionable voice of a grown man arguing with them, and izou can be seen trotting back down the dimly-lit alleyway with two or three small dogs tucked under his arms, still chomping away at the leftover treats in their jaws. any minute now they'll realize what's going on and begin to struggle. )


One of these mutts the one you're lookin' for? What was it... Marron-chan?

( he's already forgotten the name, and what type of dog. it's fine. )
