KAIJU FIGHT #1
KAIJU FIGHT #1
βΆ 001. SEAS THE DAY.
On the morning of the 1st, sirens will blare, forcing every Outsider and Neo Tokyo civilian awake. While it hasn't been activated for a while, every citizen within the city knows this alarm all too well - it wails through the city whenever a Kaiju has been detected, ordering everyone to return to their homes immediately and stay there until they receive further information. Outsiders gazing at Neo Tokyo will see the armored city in its full technological splendour for the first time today. Once the civilians have returned to their homes, machinery within the buildings will work like clockwork, sinking each and every LILITH-augmented building beneath the ground. Just in time, too, because the waves are starting to roar again, crashing beyond the shore and flooding the city once more. Observant Outsiders may note that not every building has been modified. The older ones remain standing, vulnerable to the impending flood. Does anyone live in those buildings? The answer is yes, but that's not a priority at the moment.
Every Outsider will receive a summon, ordering them to prepare for battle. The Kaiju has been identified and located. It's show time.
Waiting for the Outsiders at the bay appear to be ... expensive-looking, personal yachts? This has to be a mistake, right? It's no mistake. Through intel LILITH has exchanged with international companies, it appears that this particular Kaiju has a fondness for overturning civilian yachts, and there's no better way to attract it than to leave it its favourite bait. The goal is to attract these Kaiju towards the boats and then attacking.
The ships may look like they're outfitted for a fancy yacht party. In fact, some exploring down below deck in the lounging room, one may find caviar on fancy ritz, oyster tower, little finger sandwiches with the crusts cut off and bougie smelly cheese that nobody in LILITH's pay grade can identify. On another table, there is fancy ramen spoons filled with microgreens, crystal jelly vinegarette, and a thin slice of parmesan cheese. Some further looking may find some fine aged wine, but you're not here to drink and party, you're here to fight a Kaiju! Right? Right.
Despite the fact everything about these yachts just look like... fancy yachts... they are actual warships that are mounted with naval artillery such as swivel guns, missiles and torpedos. Spears, harpoon guns and fishing nets can also be found and used if an Outsider is more comfortable getting extremely close to the monsters. There's no time for a proper seafaring course, so Outsiders will be given a quick run down on how the controls work, and be sent on their way. They will also be given a special jewel-like implant that attaches to the skin, right along the forehead, and told to wear it if they need to go into the water. "Don't worry about it," the LILITH crew says. "But it'll be one hell of a ride if you use it."
Alongside the crew, Seok Dang seems to be also assisting (?) though he's gotten a hold of the reception food down below. Did he smell like fine wine? Possibly. But that's definitely a fancy, half eaten cracker in his hand. He's also got on a bright, neon life preserver. Maybe someone doesn't know how to swim.
Nobody uses that phrase anymore, but you know what? You do you, SD.

"Angels of LILITH. We have located the Kaiju coming from beyond the sea. A full mission brief including the information we have gathered will be sent to you immediately. For now, make your way to the bay where your transport will be waiting. Be prepared for anything, but mostly, be prepared to swim."

"WHOOO HELLA YEAH, MOTHERFUCKERS. Don't know how to swim? Don't'cha worry. Daddy Dang has got you covered. I know CPR! I give the best CPR! π I'll rescue ya. TONIGHT, WE BALL!"
Nobody uses that phrase anymore, but you know what? You do you, SD.
βΆ 002. WHALE WATCHING.
Minutes into their ship's course, the boats will rock violently, as if those already violent waves have somehow come alive. There is something in the water! The mission brief would have been shared with them sometime during their trip, but maybe Outsiders want to pull up on their implant the image and debrief shared once again now that there is some action. The orca-like Kaiju trying to reach the shores of Neo Tokyo is called Shachimon, and she's been the cause of the violent waves and flooding we've seen for the past few weeks. Alongside of her and are her children orca who love to mimic everything their mother does. The biggest one, the matriarch of the pod, is over 60 meters in length - large enough to swallow a boat whole. The younger ones are smaller but just as ferocious, spanning from the size of a car to the size of a bus. The youngsters are a size small enough that they can leap out of the water, sometimes crashing down onto people and ships. Beware!
Shachimon will be fighting to knock over boats, or climbing on boats with their amphibious legs. Once they get their hands on humans or Outsiders, they pull them into the water, tearing them limb from limb to feed. Their control over the waves are no joke, either. With a powerful swing of their tail, they can conjure up tsunamis capable of overturning ships. The matriarch, if left to her own devices, seems bent on submerging Neo Tokyo to make food of all its citizens.

β β β MONSTER DEBRIEF SHEETAs a note, Outsiders who wish to remain on land and help civilians there may do so. There are waves flooding the city, and some of the smaller, quicker Shachimon will have made it to shore. They will need to be taken care of before they can terrorise the city.
NAME: Shachimon
HEIGHT: Younger whales are 4 - 18 metres. The matriarch is 60 meters in length.
WEIGHT: 1500kg - 5000kg
CLASS: Highly dangerous.
LOCATION: Large bodies of water
ABILITIES: Use of sonar to detect any water movement. Fast swimmer. Very sturdy body thanks to all that whale blubber. High intelligence - commonly works together as a pod to take down prey. Capable of creating tsunamis that overturn boats. The largest Shachimon can sink a city if not stopped.
WEAKNESS: Electricity (since it will be inside water), dissection, spearing its eyes or blowhole. Loud vibrations within the water can stun or confuse it.
EXTRA NOTES: Dislikes and will attempt to overturn civilian yachts. Carnivorous, eating marine life and human flesh. Sadistic personality, may play with their food prior to eating.
β β β MISSION OBJECTIVE:
β Lead the Shachimon away from the shore.
β Extermination of Shachimon in the water and if they reach the shore.
β Protection of nearby fishermen's boats and civilians within those boats.
β Teamwork to destroy the matriach Shachimon.
β Bring back specimens (live or deceased) for research purposes.

βΆ 003. OCEAN GEMS.
Shachimon are most deadly in the water and their go-to strategy is to pull others into their turf, where they have the advantage. That's where those jewel-like implants come in. These implants, called OCEAN GEMS, when attached to the skin, temporarily modify the body. Once activated, nanobots will invade the bloodstream and alter the user's lungs, giving them a set of breathable gills. Their legs will also be altered, giving them fins and the tail of a fish. This is a recent invention by LILITH ever since the first Shachimon was spotted a few years ago, and the technology is still experimental. This means that the transformation process will be significantly uncomfortable, feeling a bit like being asphyxiated and having your legs sewn together at the same time. Deactivating the gem and turning back feels just as uncomfortable, and being experimental technology, it can take a while before the user can successfully revert back. Those who want to fight in the water and lack any weapons or abilities that can be used can request Seok Dang for a weapon. There's a limited supply, but they will be given a special trident. Directly driving the spear into one of the kaiju will electrocute it, giving a higher chance for higher damage. These tridents will be handed out to those who want to use their Ocean Gem and ask.
It's up to Outsiders whether they want to use this new technology or not. Being able to fight the monsters on their own terrain is certainly an advantage, so LILITH would highly encourage it.

βΆ 004. MEDICAL BAY.
Healers and those with medical experience will be placed on the warship with a red flag on it. Dr. Spim & Alex will also be present on this ship to assist any major injuries to both LILITH and civilian fisherman alike. This ship is bigger than the others, and while stocked up with the same artillery, it is also stocked with beds and medical supplies. This will be the Outsider's naval medical bay during the siege on the Shachimon and all injured Outsiders or civilians will need to be transported there. This ship will also need to be protected heavily, because once the Shachimon catch on that all the injured, vulnerable prey are being transported to the larger ship, they will start to target that ship in particular. Characters that need immediate medical help should be transported to this ship via a dataportal. Each yacht has a dataportal that can teleport anyone instantly to the medical ship. The dataportals are also located down below deck to prevent them from getting damaged.
βΆ 005. THE CALM AFTER THE STORM.
It's a bloody, soggy and gruesome battle and the seas' waves begin to calm down, the sea filled with kaiju carcasses. LILITH's clean up crew is working hastily to collect these corpses, but with the Outsiders' occupied and recovering from their fresh battle, help is limited. Search and rescue scavenges the sea to find any civilians who didn't make it or may need medical help. Meanwhile, the valiant teamwork and effort has paid off. After many hits from many different weapons, artillery, natural abilities, etc. the matriarch kaiju has been downed and sank to the bottom of the ocean floor. LILITH's team will work to retrieve the massive carcass, though it will take awhile. Those who put in notable effort will receive praise and a little extra payout. Outsiders will see an instant transfer of funds to their account: 340,000,000 KRYPTOS. This is roughly about 2500 USD.
The intense battle will have lasted several days and Outsiders are free to go from land to sea as little or as often as they like. It is all over, though, and Outsiders will be called to return to the MAIN BASE for rest and recovery. LILITH will also be searching for the rift where the kaiju came from while Outsiders recover. A message from an unknown voice will pop up an hour or so after all Outsiders have returned to the MAIN BASE. Outsiders may use this time to socialize in a commons area, wash up in the showers, get a meal in the cafeteria or rest.

"Good work."
βΆ 006. AFTERWORD.
Welcome to our first Kaiju log! All prompts are highly encouraged but OOCly optional. ICly, characters can choose to fight in the ocean, on the ships or stay behind on land and protect the city. At the end of the siege, characters who accepted an Ocean Gem will be asked to return it. It's experimental technology, so LILITH will need to do more tweaking before they can properly release it. Outsiders who use the gem may have whatever fish tail they like, as long as it is a sea creature.
Feel free to NPC your characters' fights with the smaller kaijus. The main fight with the Shachimon matriarch will be determined via a HP-based system (See below).
Please note that all tags in this log count for 2 reward points each. Ask any further questions below!
Below is also the month at a glance. We understand the CALENDAR has been a little inconsistent, but the mod team is sorting all of this out. Expect a FEEDBACK POST this month as well so we can check in with the playerbase and make any adjustments to the game. This log, even if the time stamp says JANUARY, will count for FEBRUARY AC.

speaking of, a tentacle wraps around his wrist, and ishmael pulls it off of him before it starts to leave marks on his skin. that would be embarrassing to explain to people afterwards. ]
Just give it a stronger tug. Hurry, before the rest gets you.
[ to demonstrate, she tugs at one of the tentacles that were sticking at the wall with her own two hands, effectively pulling it out of the water. whew! just one more... ]
no subject
even if it definitely seems this way right now.
despite comprehending that her tentacles were... a part of her current form and an extension of what would have been her legs, it still surprises him that they move with a mind of their own. but, his pondering doesn't necessarily last for long as he does exactly as she suggests. he gives the appendage a firm yank. finally freeing her from the sides of the pool. now, the struggle was keeping it that way.
he holds it, as if... it was going to escape from his grasp. but, while it is within his hold, he can't help but to stare. his mind still feels a bit muddled from the ocean gems' effects and so he tries to stop from really thinking. maybe that's the only real solution here. ]
Should I help you wipe the chlorine off? [ he thought about rinsing them, but was there a way to do that without also then getting stuck in the shower. real thoughts... was he normally this attentive? maybe in some ways, but this might be the first time he was really looking after someone's comfort. ]
no subject
and for his... attentiveness. surely yuwon has seen her fight firsthand, when she had asked him for help to reach the waves. he was worried for her back then when she was fussing over him potentially dying, but... ]
I'll go bathe later; I'm sick of being wet. Just help me get up.
[ she grabs ahold of yuwon's arm and, whenever he's ready, she lifts herself up and onto the semi-dry floor. her tentacles are still a bit twitchy, but otherwise satisfied with getting their hourly dose of water. ]
Anyway, what brings you here? Shouldn't you be resting up by now?
[ bro why not take care of yourself first... ]
no subject
he waits until she grabs a hold of him, before helping to hoist her up. he watches the tentacles, if just to make sure they're not sticking or clinging to the floor or anything nearest to the pool. temporarily distracted that, he just barely catches onto her words. ]
Do I seem like I need rest? [ that's debatable at best, but he does clarify. ] I'm not used to resting. Normally, I just wake up. [ ... and he calls it a day from there. he's only really ever got actual medical treatment, maybe once? if you don't count eating herbs or medicine balls on his own treatment, that is.
but, he still seems to hold his arms out, as if to ask her where next. ]
no subject
Exactly why you need to lie down for a few more hours. It's not going to kill you, jeez.
[ nevertheless, she links her arm with his. as to where they can go from here, hmm. ]
I feel like grabbing a snack, though. Then back to my room. But really, I can do all of this by myself.
[ why are people coddling her just because she has tentacles, man... ]
no subject
either way, he gives a slight shrug. ] You're not laying down, either.
[ he decides to point out, if just because it was easier.
though, he guesses relaxing in a pool of water while allowing her new limbs a proper place to rest... wasn't exactly contradicting to what she's said, either. though, at her words: ] No, [ ... ] I want to do this. [ as for why he feels such a compelling need to do this, or why his touch feels especially gentle...
not even he can explain. but, hearing her laugh wasn't exactly bad. ]
Can't I?
no subject
[ she should be used to his gentle touches by now. it's all they've been doing since the first time they met. he's always made her feel relaxed with the help of physical affection - something that's exceedingly rare in the City he's from. she's not used to being handled like some precious thing either. she's not precious at all - she's broken, much like everyone else in this base.
but she will let him follow her outside the recreational area anyway, matching his strides even with those extra legs of hers. ]
Fine. Have it your way.
[ he's even clingier than her suction cups, she swears. a nearby vending machine catches her eye, and she stops in front of it. ]
Let's see... I'll probably have a muffin to munch on. How about you?
no subject
she is always eating, huh? somehow, he finds it cute, even if he has literally no reason to. but, as backwards as his thoughts currently is for his tentacled ... companion, it's great she asked a question, if just because it allows his mind to concentrate on something else. something as innocuous as... ]
Do they have jerky? Or plain bread? [ is it time for canned bread...
but, he reaches over and pays out by sliding his wrist over the machine's payment light. (i don't actually know how it works, bc i am too lazy to read the tech page). though, he's already putting his payment thru. ] Anything to drink?
no subject
Jerky? [ she scans the contents until she points to one. ] There's one right here.
[ and right when she's about to scan her payment, yuwon beats her to it. wtf. he's going to get a nasty sideeye for that. she huffs, then selects a bottle of water. nothing too fancy today. ]
I'll pay for whatever you're choosing. [ don't make her owe you, man... ]
no subject
There's no need. You like to snack, so save it for then. [ while it's true that yuwon liked having people owe him favors, it didn't necessarily mean he cashed in each one. perhaps, in due time, but now... he mostly just finds himself really wanting to do it. but, even beyond his current state, there's probably more of a subconscious push. instead of her owing him, he'd argue that he had plenty of reasons to think it was the opposite.
not that he actually says this. ] But, if you're still worried about it, there's always next time.
no subject
I'll hold you to that, too.
[ she twists open the bottle of water, taking a sip of it first before tipping it over and spilling some of its contents onto her tentacles - all with a blank look on her face. what, this is normal. octopi can't move around on dry land for too long. ]
You know, these things do have their benefits. [ she hands the water bottle to a tentacle to hold. ] No wonder you're into them.
[ HELLO ]
