▶ 004. TEST DRIVE & SIMULATION #4
TEST DRIVE & SIMULATION #4
▶ 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 …
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:

▶ 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.
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.)

“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!”

▶ 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.

You should have access to warmer clothing again soon, if all remaining paperwork is submitted today and LILITH keeps their word.

...It's good motivation though, right? One way to get us all to haul ourselves out here 'n get it over 'n done with. Maybe that's why they left me outta stockings; I'd be too cosy otherwise, but I don't do well with the cold.
[#bugthings
a-anyway. Once he's taken a painstaking minute to fix up the slip, he'll get his paperwork back between his teeth, pen held back out with a grimacing smile.] Bleh-- This sorta thing normal? The 'if you're not quick we'll make ya be quick' style of encouragement? Kinda new here, heh.

Accepting the pen returned to him, Yesod considers the questions asked. ]
I arrived two months ago myself. In that time, LILITH has made use of coercion twice in order to encourage us to fulfill certain objectives, such as distributing boxes of chocolate... and now completing these forms.
[ That said, LILITH's methods of disciplinary action appear to be relatively innocuous thus far. ]

Then she sees a familiar figure at the table. And it clicks. And if anyone else is watching her, it's a speed record on how fast her eyes lit up and how excited she got that her path of direction switches gears so fast and her speed could be frightening that it could rival a blue hedgehog that is hanging around here right now.]
Greeeeeeeeeeeg!!! [She is so quick to sit next to him and beam at him in delight, hI BUDDY HI KING SHE MISSED YOU IT'S BEEN SIX MONTHS PLEASE UNDERSTAND AAAAAAAAAH.]
i glues it back together n shakes my head........bestie please
Ignore the way his eyes water, okay. It's from the choking, not from being so glad to see her and know that he's not alone. Do not fucking question it.]
Blurgh-- [Gotta fish out a long sliver of ginger from the back of his throat. Gross.] R-- Rodya, hi. Hi.
[A second. Five. He's wiping his hand off on his grey sweatpants, swallowing and just staring helplessly at her. Ten seconds pass. Then, at last, he slings his arm around her and tugs her in close for a totally normal hug between two people who have a normal workmate relationship.] ...You really gotta work on not scaring folks mid-swallow, y'know? What if I was Sinclair 'n I choked on a chicken wing or somethin'? How would you be then?
look i could have body tackled him instead and destroy a good chunk of the cafeteria
Easy! I would force the thing that you were choking on back out and proceed for sweet reunions as normal! Can't let you die here since we lack Dante and all of that-
[She bumps the side of her head against his own as he pulls her in for a side hug. She is so over the moon right now, nobody will understand... Her best bud workmate is here...]
Plus! Cut me some slack, darling. I haven't seen or spoke with you for six months. That's half a year! It's been a long time for me!
[And time fuckery is going on, which is a bit expected.]
Don't eat too much because I know all the best spots and we gotta go later~
and saddle them both with debt??? tho he would take it on the chin for her lbr...
true friendship is sometimes dealing with debt together tbh
this is true....washing dishes together. washing dishes and letting rodya slip out the back. pals
she comes back with extra cigs and snacks, gotta take care of her buddy because hes the best
rodya......no he'll cry........don't make his pathetic ass cry girl cmon now...
shhh no tears... you are safe with her now...
safe in her big strong arms........they truly are the yaoi yuris
she gotta catch up on greg hugs now (along with everything else, she got development be proud...)
@bot
[himself, malkuth, yesod, maybe gebura now, and the others he didn't know back there... it's turning into a whole list of people.]

[Fiiiiiive minutes later, however:] Sorry, had to go for the joke, it was right there. There really a heap of us City lot here, though? We must fit the bill for saving the world! Which is pretty funny when you think about it :)

To be honest, if I ever get it and cut the cord fully, I don't think I'd know what to do with myself either. Failed the first time I tried, don't think I'd do much better this time.

Then yeah, probably
You should fantasize a better mindset first

maid day
[Vergilius, currently not in any form of maid dress, is just. Looking this man up and down with barely any expression.]
Gregor. [Hmmm.] So you've arrived and neglected to address it to me.
b-boss man.........twice he's done this to poor verg. twice
augh
this is the worst. Though it's also not, because like, Verg's probably seen him dripping with maggots through the bus windows or something, so it's really not the worst state Gregor's been in in front of him, is it?
Still, he grimaces apologetically and scruffs his hair with the paperwork-holding hand. Time To Toady.]
Bit harder to find each other in this place than it is back on Mephistopheles, right? Haha. But-- look at us, all fated to run into each other! Worked out in the end--
[wait. the pieces are slotting together in his brain, and that suck-up expression gets replaced by a dour little sulk.] --hey, how come you got out of this rubbish? Don't tell me even here, you get benefits above the rest of us?
GREGOR REALLY CAN'T WIN
[Yep. He's still not impressed or amused or...anything, really.]
[The accusation simply gets him to raise an eyebrow.]
Maybe because I did the paperwork? At least...five times. I don't know. Seems random. Trust me...I wish I had benefits.
a constant loser, a failguy if you will, just like verg but with less gay pining/swagger
1/2 wow he has no swagger and leave his gay pining alone (teary-eyed emoji)
2/2
i am NEVER letting up about that gay shit sorry verg...a three parent household is just greedy
wow let him live his BEST LIFE

If so, you have my sympathy.

[His hot scientist mom just does not like letting him go. Or...More that she's loosened the leash on him, but keeps showing up just enough to remind him that he'll never slip it completely.]
Thanks, pal. That's real decent of you! It's not so bad though, I've had 35 years of adjusting. You come from a place big on free will then, I take it?
no subject
[ sort of. he doesn't have a hot scientist mom hovering over his shoulder, though. ]
It's give and take. While there is an emphasis on free will, it can only exist to an extent which continues to benefit the human race.
Resources are scarce and outside threats are rampant so while there is a degree of choice, it's more about what method you take toward survival than anything else.
