TEAM BUILDING EVENT #1

TEAM BUILDING EVENT #1

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.

[What does that even mean...oh well, if those are compliments, then it should be fine.]

Alright. [He crosses his arms.] Ninety-nine.
plagiarists: (076)

[personal profile] plagiarists 2024-01-23 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice ass.

[ That does count as a generic compliment, right. Not that she's checked Taryon out yet. You could say it's a half-assed compliment... and she's been trying so hard with the list. ]
likemybooks: Taryon looking over his book (concerned)

[personal profile] likemybooks 2024-01-23 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
What?

[Right, that was a randomly selected compliment. He almost forgot. But still weird to hear directed at him.]

...Did that work?
plagiarists: (172)

[personal profile] plagiarists 2024-01-24 11:06 am (UTC)(link)
It...

[ She was about to say that it did but it looks like there was some kind of a delay because another window has just popped up. ]

Didn't. Does that mean SYNTHIA doesn't think you have a nice ass?

[ No, it means that Sooyoung is in denial and this plan wasn't as good as she thought it to be. ]
likemybooks: talking to someone to the side (thoughtful)

[personal profile] likemybooks 2024-01-24 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
It knew you didn't mean it! It thought you were being sarcastic! [And his ass is pretty great, SYNTHIA wouldn't dock points for telling the truth.] Just pick something you genuinely looks great on me. There's a lot of options.

[He's clearly a handsome man, it can't take more than a second to think.]
plagiarists: (182)

[personal profile] plagiarists 2024-01-27 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She can see that Taryon is rather attractive so it really isn't too diffcult. ]

I like your modesty. [ She means it, there's no hint of sarcasm in her words. And since it's not a compliment on his physical appearance, Sooyoung is actually going to be nice (to get rid of the pop-ups) and add one more: ] Your hair puts everyone in this base to shame. Your golden locks frame your handsome face, exposing your sharp cheekbones and defined jawline...

[ The language might be a bit flowery but she tries to sound like she means it. ]
likemybooks: Taryon leaning over machinery (working)

[personal profile] likemybooks 2024-01-27 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Taryon holds a hand to his chin and nods. These compliments all make sense. His hair is amazing and his defining feature, and it's good to get a sense of what it accentuates. Just in case he has to dress up in the near future of course.]

Not bad, not bad. [Thanks for the quick ego boost. He halts hos nodding to watch Sooyoung, waiting for the end of thr compliments.]
plagiarists: (065)

[personal profile] plagiarists 2024-01-28 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
... Your nose was sculpted by the goddess of arts herself. Your eyes pierce people through the soul and the words that come past your full lips are that of wisdom. You have the features of a protagonist.

[ Now she's done. SYNTHIA please, she tried really hard. ]
likemybooks: Taryon looking over his book (concerned)

[personal profile] likemybooks 2024-01-28 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Now this is going a bit too far. Taryon is pretty sure SYNTHIA would accept just some of this. Why is Sooyoung getting so detailed? Isn't being called a protagonist high enough praise?]

Shouldβ€” should that be enough? That felt like ten compliments.
plagiarists: (119)

[personal profile] plagiarists 2024-02-02 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm just that good. [ SYNTHIA'S verdict is... pass. ] Damn, maybe I should just tell everyone they're protagonist material, so I can get away with—

[ Another window pops up... she was so close. ]
likemybooks: Staring ahead with a serious expression. (confused)

[personal profile] likemybooks 2024-02-02 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not all that bad of an idea. You'll have to change it up a bit, not everyone is the handsome and brave one.

[...Wait, why did she freeze up.]

Don't tell me that didn't work, either.
plagiarists: (046)

[personal profile] plagiarists 2024-02-02 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
It did and then... it didn't.

[ Is SYNTHIA doing this on purpose or did she make a mistake somewhere? As much as she'd like to think it's the former, Sooyoung wants to get rid of these pop-up messages as fast as possible. ]

You're right, some people are just side characters. But you have the protagonist vibes. Are you even getting these messages about compliments and stuff?
likemybooks: talking to someone to the side (thoughtful)

[personal profile] likemybooks 2024-02-02 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course I am. I just go with something nice about their appearance. Like...I don't know, you look really confident. [He didn't get a pop up about Sooyoung, but it's an easy thing to comment on] But I really wouldn't go around calling people side characters. It's rather rude. And they might end up hating you.
plagiarists: (180)

[personal profile] plagiarists 2024-02-03 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I've tried saying the most generic compliments about other people's appearance but SYNTHIA went after me anyway. [ It's because she's rude most of the time. ] It's not an issue at all if they hate me, though. Actually, it's even better if they do.

[ It's easier to handle people when they don't want to get close to you... that sure is A Logic but that's her way of living. ]

Maybe I should just avoid people altogether.
likemybooks: Taryon looking over his book (concerned)

[personal profile] likemybooks 2024-02-04 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
I- well, I don't fault you for wanting them to be honest. [That has to be what she meant, right?]

Sure, depends on how long this will last. But you need to compliment the next person first, right?
plagiarists: (151)

[personal profile] plagiarists 2024-02-06 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Not if I manage to sneak out of here without seeing anyone else...

[ If it's only triggered when her and someone else's eyes meet then maybe it won't be too hard to avoid. If being noticed is all it takes, it's going to be much trickier. ]
