TEST DRIVE & SIMULATION #4


CONTENT WARNINGS: forced partial nudity, dead bodies

▶ 001. ARRIVAL / CAFETERIA.

It happens in the blink of an eye -- a dash of time. You're taken from where you were. What you were doing.. it isn't important anymore, and slowly, you give up to desire your normal life. When you awake, figures are looking down on you from a surgical table.

"Yeah, this one will do; let's take them to the rest," That's all you see before losing consciousness again, only to wake up in a pod with many others.

"Your questions will be answered soon enough as I'm sure you will have many," a female, robotic voice says.

Just then, your pod opens in a dim corridor with many others. Your new life is about to begin... whether you like it or not.


The pods drain their stasis fluid which wakens each Outsider. When Outsiders emerge from their pod in only their undergarments which have been supplied to them and head to a locker room in the medical bay, to find a towel to dry off with, a set of gray loungewear to wear as LILITH makes the final decision in organizing the Outsider to their rightful teams. If a character has any accessibility needs, they will be found here. It's about then they will feel a sharp pain at the back of their eyes, almost like there’s a foreign body lodged on the inside of their head. This pain will subside quickly as their body adapts to the changes, but there will always be a sensation of something being not quite right. That their bodies have been changed forever. They would be correct in thinking that. In the pod, all Outsiders have been surgically fitted with ocular and brain implants that will enable them to communicate with LILITH and the rest of the crew, and feed them the information they require. Almost like a computer screen has been loaded into their brains, they will see a loading screen as the implant completes its download. A questionnaire will then pop up, waiting for their answer. A voice, robotic and feminine, will also read along in their brain for them.

█ █ █ LOADING COMPLETE … BEGIN ORIENTATION …


Name:
Username:
Civilian Identity:
Age:
Species:
Origin:

What is your fantasy?




The system will give Outsiders one chance to provide a truthful answer and choose their username and civilian identity. Should they refuse to cooperate, the implant will download the answer directly from their brain (and give them a username or civilian name against their will). This questionnaire will then be posted on the network for all to view and reply to. Almost like an ice-breaker, if you will. LILITH wants all their newest recruits to learn about each other!

Outsiders will receive a quick brief about their situation: They will be told that the year is 2278, and they have been taken to Neo Tokyo, one of the last bastions of mankind in a world terrorized by various Kaiju and monsters. Only a third of the population remains, and LILITH has gathered talented people from other dimensions here as a last ditch effort to save humanity. Outsiders are free to continue asking LILITH questions through their implant, but there’s no guarantee they will provide them with a straight answer …

Outsiders will also notice an implant in their dominant wrist. This implant has a barcode in it that will enable them to purchase goods from the local stores in Neo Tokyo. They will receive a starting balance of 10,000 KRYPTOS (about USD 66), which is barely enough for a few good meals, groceries and supplies. They can view their current balance through a hologram window projected by their ocular implant.

Once they leave the medical bay, they’ll be able to grab a quick meal in the cafeteria and mingle with the other Outsiders just waking up. Today’s menu is creamy crab onigiri & ginger salad, all packed neatly in a food ration tray.

That familiar, robotic voice is heard again:

"Greetings, my name is SYNTHIA and I will be taking care of you today while the rest of the crew is busy handling a recent issue. Worry not, my children. You are in safe hands."



▶ 002. CLEAN UP THE LAND OF DREAMS.

After nearly a month of investigation and monitoring everyone’s health, Tokyo Disney is finally cleared. Outsiders will be sent back to Tokyo Disneyland to resume their work. LILITH will order them to go collect the rotting remains of the Yamadenki and any bodies that were left behind from the battle.

When they return, they will find the park is still left in ruin from the battle and the air smells horrible. They will have to sift through the rubble for the remains of Yamadenki, rift mutated corpses, hybrids, and fallen scientists and mercenaries. It’s dirty work but someone has to do it. Luckily, LILITH has provided a sanitation suit that some Outsiders may remember. There are only a few in various colors, and those who reject the sanitation suit will be provided with gloves and encouraged to activate their plugsuit instead. After they’ve removed the bodies, they will be told to help clean up the park. The park has always been a popular place for teenagers to sneak off to and while they can keep the area closed off for the safety of the majority, there’s no way to keep out the most dedicated troublemakers. Some of the rides have some residual charge in their engines and can be ridden.. maybe test drive them for a spin? Nobody has to know you're doing it, right?

Furthermore, LILITH is interested in what remains of the secret labs. Most of the computer hardware and records have already been confiscated but considering how they’ve had almost a whole month to rest, they should be fit and ready to do some heavy lifting, surely. Most notably, LILITH will task the Outsiders with moving and transporting heavy machinery such as the electric generators, refrigerators, freezers, incubators, water distillers, and all sorts of fancy equipment. They will have to find a way to drag all of this out of the tunnels, up to the surface, and to the transport vehicles waiting to take them back to LILITH. If they look around, they may find a few golf carts in the tunnels but whether or not they have keys or even work is to be determined.

Observant Outsiders will spot some men in suits appraising the park and nodding their heads. Could there be plans for a revival of Tokyo Disneyland?


▶ 003. DATAPORTAL TESTING.

Following the clean up efforts at Disney, things begin to happen at LILITH. The engineering department gets to work and it isn’t long until they announce they’ve finally managed to get some of the dataportals running. It seems the Yamadenki remains had some special properties that they could use to stabilize and power the right technology. This is excellent news or LILITH and the administrators get to work communicating with other organizations around the world.

In the meantime, these dataportals need to be tested and Outsiders will be asked to volunteer. Should they agree, the engineers and technicians will explain that they’re going to try a short-distance test first. They still have access to their old base in Kyoto. It was abandoned years ago after a particularly devastating kaiju attack. While they were able to secure most items of importance in their evacuation, it wouldn’t hurt to go back and do another sweep for things that may have been left behind like medical supplies, tools, technology, and food/drink supplies.

Characters will be able to travel back and forth between Kyoto and Tokyo while they test the portals. There are some known effects of portal jumping but whether they start to take effect on the first jump or after a certain amount depends on the person. Symptoms include nausea, headaches, dizziness, and a loss of spatial awareness so they may get into people’s spaces, bump into things, miss targets, or get lost easily.


▶ 004. KYOTO & KAIJU.

Outsiders will be transported to the Old Kyoto Base with a small team of operatives. In terms of structure, the Kyoto Base looks similar to that of Neo Tokyo, with the remnants of a training ground, research labs and dormitories free to explore. Once upon a time, this base was filled with LILITH personnel. What had happened to them, along with all the other residents of Kyoto, is anyone’s guess.

With some work, they’ll be able to kickstart the emergency generators which will be enough to provide the power needed to search parts of the base. Characters can also leave the base and explore what remains of Kyoto. The streets are empty and the city has been abandoned since the attack. The Imperial Palace is still standing, albeit in decrepit conditions from years of neglect, and the once picturesque, historical streets now sit in ruin. Keep searching, and you will see the scars left behind from the attack - monstrous claw marks against a building wall, and forgotten human remains.

With the lack of human interference, Kyoto has become overrun with wild animals such as macaques, deer, foxes and tanuki. A herd of boar-like Kaiju have also taken their place at the top of the ecosystem. This Kaiju, the Yama-Kujira, is of special interest to LILITH.


█ █ █ MONSTER DEBRIEF SHEET
NAME: Yama-Kujira
HEIGHT: 10 meters (adult), 2 meters (infant)
WEIGHT: 200 kg (adult), 60kg (infant)
CLASS: Piglets are harmless, Adults are a moderate threat
LOCATION: Kyoto, Japan
ABILITIES: The adult Yama-Kujira compensate for their terrible eyesight with a vicious attitude. They will charge at everything and everyone at the slightest disturbance, be it the sound of footsteps or even a bird flapping its wings. They have a keen sense of smell and hearing, and sharp tusks that they use to maul their prey. Fiercely territorial, especially near to their nests. Hates loud noises and the colour red. In groups, they have the ability to cause a minor earthquake by stomping into the ground. The Yama-Kujira piglets, on the other hand, are blind, harmless, docile and do not have tusks. May charge ineffectively to practice their skills and are strong enough to knock a person over. They enjoy fruit, nuts and milk.
WEAKNESS: They are virtually blind and rely on their smell/hearing, so taking those senses out will disorientate them. Otherwise weak to being flipped over and has a soft underbelly. Getting their tusks trapped in something will temporarily immobilize them as well.
EXTRA NOTES: Eats primarily vegetation and local wildlife but the adults will kill anything that moves.

█ █ █ MISSION OBJECTIVE:
✖ Eliminate all adult Yama-Kujira within the area.
✖ Lure in and capture infants to surrender to LILITH.
✖ Bring back Yama-Kujira specimens, alive or dead.
✖ Scavenge for useful technology or supplies from around Kyoto and the Kyoto base.

▶ 005. MAID DAY.

While Outsiders test out the portal technology and the engineers make adjustments to make traveling more stable, the administrators will announce they’ve touched base with other organizations around the world and have begun to process travel documents for everyone.

In the meantime, they will have to help do paperwork which includes repeatedly confirming details like their birthdays, hair color, age, blood types, and so on. They will have to fill out multiple forms again and again for administration, insurance, and passport reasons, as well as reasons that just don’t make sense. The paperwork is endless and it’s a lot to keep track of but everything is due on May 10th. To make matters worse, there is the longest line at the immigration office that does not seem to be moving at all. For some reason, paperwork submission needs to be done in person, even with all the advances in technology.

On the day of the deadline, something bizarre happens. Those with style upgrades should be familiar with LILITH’s state-of-the-art clothing-changing technology. On May 10th, nanobots will engulf some Outsiders and overwrite their clothing, forcing them into a maid outfit (or butler outfit, depending on player preference). Seok Dang’s back from his suspension (is that why he’s been so quiet and nobody has seen him around base?), and he was given the task to encourage all the Outsiders to finish their paperwork.

“I’m back, baby! Daddy’s hoooome!! Did you like the frills? Enjoying them? Everyone say ‘thank you Seokdang-oppaaaaa!’. The Captain says you gotta do your paperwork, and some lazy bastards haven’t turned theirs in yet. Unless you wanna be in that cute lacy skirt forever, let’s encourage everyone to do their homework, okay? Well, if you guys decide to just stay like this forever, I ain’t complaining. It’s pretty easy on the eyes. Next time, maybe I'll put you hot kittens in some tight leather. Who knows!”


Outsiders will find themselves dressed in maid costumes until everyone has completed their paperwork, so LILITH is heavily encouraging you to persuade your friends! Once everyone has submitted their paperwork, they’ll be able to uninstall the maid upgrade… but they can keep it as a gift! Those who would like to opt-out can simply have their clothing not be effected, and this prank works with those who have a style upgrade or are in their LILITH given attire (plugsuit or loungewear.)

▶ 006. AFTERWORD.

Welcome to our fourth TDM! All TDM threads are game canon; characters who don't app will be glitched out of this world. As TDM will act as the event, existing characters are heavily encouraged to participate. We encourage this format for top levels: CHARACTER | CANON | CURRENT / NEW CHARACTER. '

There are currently 16 available player slots. New players are welcome to use this TDM to get samples for when APPLICATIONS open.

None of the prompts suit your fancy? Feel free to check out our main base and locations page and make up your own prompts!

Use the code provided in the ARRIVAL prompt if you'd like to participate in the ice breaker and place it in your top level along with your other prompts. Anything such as civilian name or username can be marked as UNDECIDED if you're unsure of what you'd like your character to have for now. Though it says 'Orientation', existing characters can still participate in the ice-breaker.

Please note that all tags in this log will count for 2 reward points each and will count towards May AC.


TDM #4 BREAKDOWN/RECAP (CLICK TO EXPAND)
1. ARRIVAL PROMPT: Newcomers arrive with ocular and brain implants and told a breakdown of the premise with an icebreaker orientation to fill out. Their first cafeteria meal is crab onigiri & ginger salad. Newcomers are placed in gray loungewear while they are being sorted into teams.

2. TOKYO DISNEYLAND CLEAN UP: Outsiders are sent back to Tokyo Disney to gather resources from the Yamadenki attack. Outsiders may wear a sanitation suit or use gloves. Some rides have residual energy should anyone want to try and take them for a spin.

3. DATAPORTAL TESTING: Resources gained from the Yamadenki creature have supplied LILITH with enough energy to use the dataportal to teleport outsiders to a former base location in Kyoto. Using the dataportal may give Outsiders limited side effects.

4. KYOTO & KAIJU: In lieu of a Simulation in Seok Dang's absence, Outsiders who teleport to Kyoto will be given the task to fight and clear out the Yama-Kujira, a boar like creature.

5. MAID DAY: Outsiders must fill out repetitive paperwork, which foreshadows travel in the future, and threatening not to will result in a forced maid outfit, courtesy of Seok Dang and his return.

▶ 005. IT'S GONNA BE MAY-DS. ▶ b.

[personal profile] blastedass 2024-05-02 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Luckily, by this time, Bakugo's shoved his plugsuit into the cleaners and refuses to wear it again until this whole "maid crap" thing is over and done with. If that means he's not going out on missions again until then, too fucking bad. Maybe LILITH shouldn't let their operator be an asshole! Dressed in normal clothes that can't be changed because he doesn't have a style chip and now has even LESS reason to ever doubt that decision, Bakugo's calling in a favor.

Settling in a little izakaya shop, run by a man who seems to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders, with one of Bakugo's friends as the part-time cook, and another as the bouncer/waitress.

And apparently a dart champ... You know, he might consider interfering, but since all the competition is fucking drunk, hell if he's going to step in and help them. So he's sitting at one of the tables, watching these dumbasses loose.

Too bad he can tell Kaede's cheating.]
saudadist: (That sure is a thing)

[personal profile] saudadist 2024-05-04 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well, since Katsuki isn't running interference, the drunkards lose and give a collective groan and razz each other as they're forced to shuffle toward the register to pay their now inflated tabs. It's only after she's cleaned up the darts that Lucy spots Bakugou and goes over to check on him.

She didn't expect to see him, so instead of her usual aims to needle him, she asks with all genuine curiosity: ]


Were you waiting long?
blastedass: by licuo @ tumblr (💥 Are you dead yet?)

[personal profile] blastedass 2024-05-04 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's not going to stick up for a bunch of drunk morons betting against the house. If they were honestly competing and Kaede was cheating, then yeah, he'd call her out and step up. But Bakugo has zero empathy for drunkards. They asked for it.

Serves them right. Pay up and keep the little bar going. He flips the menu up to browse over the options. Not bad fare either. She said he was pretty good and he trusts Raidou's cooking. IF Raidou's cooking...]


Since Round 3 of your dart game. How much did you make off those idiots?
saudadist: (あなたとここにいる)

[personal profile] saudadist 2024-05-04 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That long? She doesn't want to be surprised by his patience, and yet...she can't keep it from showing on her face. Just a little bit. Before she starts puffing up a bit as if fleecing drunkards is a point of pride. ]

Three times what they started off paying for their rounds.

[ Which means, of course, she has no problem forfeiting the cost of his meal for that freebie. ]

Figure out what you want while waiting?
blastedass: by blastedass @ dreamwidth (💥 Bored but kind of interested?)

[personal profile] blastedass 2024-05-05 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
[It wasn't that long. Bakugo came here to calm down from the shit storm this day's been. Apart from the maid fiasco, he had to deal with the paperwork problem, one of the most annoying people he's ever met, and blew up the lobby of the immigration office in pure rage. To say nothing of a portal jump earlier in the morning.

He could use a bit of time away from everything. Watching Kaede own some drunks at darts was nice.]


Losers.

[She can guess he's calling in the freebie she offered him; he's not even going to remind her.]

Spicy pork omu-rice with peppers.
saudadist: (I'm tired Mr. Krabs)

[personal profile] saudadist 2024-05-05 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ She looks to be spacing out for a second, but her eyes flicker as she quite literally makes a mental note of his order. ]

White habañero or ghost pepper?
blastedass: by bokunoicons @ tumblr (💥 Unusual birds for spring...)

[personal profile] blastedass 2024-05-05 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[He's about to ask if she's okay when he notices the flicker. Oh. She's doing the mental thing with the ocular. Fucking weird despite it being kind of okay now?]

White habañero. Not in the mood for ghost right now.
saudadist: dnt (Chillin' like a villain)

[personal profile] saudadist 2024-05-05 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Gotcha.

[ Doesn't take much thought either to send that to the kitchen as a quick message either. ]

You want anything particular to drink or as a side?
blastedass: by blastedass @ dreamwidth (💥 Uhh... what'd you say?)

[personal profile] blastedass 2024-05-05 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Is she beaming the order to the back? Ugh, write that shit down and walk it back there! Tip just went down. (Not really.) Bakugo arches a brow at the entire thing. He's still old school in some aspects. Stubborn.]

Water. What are your potatoes like?
saudadist: (So anyway)

[personal profile] saudadist 2024-05-05 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ You don't tip in Japan anyway Bakugou! ]

Wedges, julienned, curly, crinkle-cut, waffle-cut, and you can pick to have them seasoned, salted, or no salt.
blastedass: by bokunoicons @ tumblr (💥 Get to the damn point already.)

[personal profile] blastedass 2024-05-05 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Hence the "Not really" part!]

Seasoned wedges with salt and spice.
saudadist: (Hold still)

[personal profile] saudadist 2024-05-05 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Spicy salt wedges. Got it.

[ Her eyes finally stop flickering after another blink. ]

Shouldn't too long. If that's everything, I'll get that water and you can hang out for a bit.
blastedass: by bokunoicons @ tumblr (💥 Unusually serious for him.)

month end tag round up and you find a thread you missed = GOMEN!!

[personal profile] blastedass 2024-05-30 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[The eye flickering thing is never going to not look fucking creepy. Like people are robots or something.]

Duh. I didn't ask for it to go.
saudadist: dnt (Chillin' like a villain)

🥹

[personal profile] saudadist 2024-06-04 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah yeah. I'll be right back.

[ The flickering stops, and she gives him the tiniest smile. Barely a quirk of her mouth's corner before it's gone again. She herself is gone the next second to get him that water. It only occurs to her on the way back that she didn't ask if he wanted ice in it or not, though she only put about three in there anyway for good measure. Nothing teeth-chatteringly cold, at least. ]

There. Anything else on the menu catch your eye, or you good?
blastedass: by blastedass @ dreamwidth (Default)

[personal profile] blastedass 2024-06-04 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Hmph. It's a smile. She had a bigger one when kicking those guys' asses at darts. Go figure. That's a reason to get a little grin anyways. Morons. Actually, Kaede does good on the ice. Three's not going to water the drink down. Bakugo accepts the drink and brings it to his mouth for a taste.]

I'm fine.

[He's not gonna order two meals and make her pay for them as his "freebie" treat. That's a shit move.]

Do you get drunkards like that often?
saudadist: (Nani)

[personal profile] saudadist 2024-06-07 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Sometimes. More common to see them all as one big group. Company drinking parties or whatever they call it.

[ She shrugs and leans back against the back of the nearest chair to look out over the restaurant. She still has a minute or two before she has to check the other tables. Everyone's either too involved in their food or razzing each other over beers to really look for her. ]

Then it all goes on the company's bill and you know they aren't hurting for it if they're dragging their guys out for this kind of thing to begin with.
blastedass: by bokunoicons @ tumblr (💥 What's only kept in silence...)

[personal profile] blastedass 2024-06-08 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Idiots. What a waste of time.

[Getting together so a bunch of people can get drunk is a ridiculous decision. Bakugo crosses his arms over his chest as he leans back in his chair and kicks his legs up onto the seat across from him under the table. Not that he'd ever be going off to some stupid party after his work (so he says) but if he ever did, it would for something entertaining and fun. Not stupid.]

A company shouldn't be paying for its employees to make themselves look like morons.
saudadist: (Bring it)

[personal profile] saudadist 2024-06-09 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Apparently they do this stuff with their boss as some kind of team-building thing.

[ She doesn't necessarily get it either. She doesn't hate who she works for, but spending extra hours being chummy with folks she already sees on a regular basis would get uncomfortable real quick. In her case, at least. ]

So you mean you wouldn't roast your boss if given the go-ahead by him? That happens at these sorta things a lot.
blastedass: by blastedass @ dreamwidth (Default)

[personal profile] blastedass 2024-06-09 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
How the hell is getting drunk and losing money gonna build a fucking team?

[That's bullshit logic! Good thing he goes to a school that doesn't have to deal with that kind of shit. Then really, what the teachers do in their off time is not Bakugo's knowledge. Considering they're all Pro Heroes, likely they're not doing shit like getting drunk.]

I've got better shit to do than that.

[Considering Bakugo's usually bitching people out in the first place, roasting is a daily occurrence with him.]
saudadist: Please credit the artist if you take (fleeting joy)
