▶ 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.

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.

While there would normally be a meal available for them in the cafeteria, this doesn’t seem to be the case this time. Robots working within the cafeteria will instead be handing out food ration bars to each Outsider. They are dense with calories and nutrition, but taste a bit like sawdust.

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. THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME.

Existing Outsiders will receive a call to report to the data portal within Las Vegas. They’ve done their parts helping to take down the worm kaiju and assisting with the clean up of the city. LILITH’s army of cleaner drones can take the rest from here. It’s been a physically and emotionally draining mission for everyone, and it’s time to head home. The beaming back to Neo Tokyo will go rather smoothly for the most part (and yes, holding someone’s hand through it still helps), but upon arrival, Outsiders might be struck with a splitting headache, nausea and vertigo. They might need an hour or so to recuperate, which they can do in their rooms or the sick bay.

New and fresh Outsiders will be given the task to take care of their seniors as they recuperate. Make sure they have water and food (even if it’s terrible ration bars). Give them a massage, or cheer them up because they’ve had such a difficult mission! It’s a great way to build bonds and get to know your teammates. Ask them what happened in Vegas! They’ll be more than happy to tell you.

▶ 003. TOO HOT TO HANDLE.

One thing Outsiders will notice immediately upon stepping foot in the Neo Tokyo base is that it is hot. Did someone forget to turn on the air conditioning? The rest of Neo Tokyo doesn’t seem to be any better. With summer approaching, the city has been hit with a heatwave, and it doesn’t help that the heat is interfering with the city’s power generators. This means that not only is it hot, but notices are popping up within everyone’s implants to be mindful of how much electricity they are using. Blackouts appear to be happening all over the base and the city. Electricity is being rationed, and when residents exceed it, it’s cut off.

This is having a devastating impact on the people of Neo Tokyo. The fact that it’s hot and there isn’t much air conditioning is one thing. Hospitals are also struggling from an influx of patients being admitted due to heat stroke, dehydration and severe sunburns. Fires are breaking out more often in the heat and this is only making things worse.

On top of it all, restaurants and stores have been greatly impacted by the electricity rations. Refrigerators and freezers are not working, so food storage is a problem and fresh ingredients are going bad. Restaurants are desperate to sell off what remains of their stock before it spoils. LILITH has been giving out food ration bars and non-perishable meals (such as canned food) and it’s been keeping the people from starving, but their subpar taste doesn’t seem to help the morale one bit.

While LILITH knows that older Outsiders have just had a difficult mission, there’s no choice but to activate them once again. A mission brief will pop up in everyone’s implants:

█ █ █ MISSION OBJECTIVE:

✖Contain heat-wave related fires and conduct rescue operations
✖Assist hospitals to care for the influx of patients while they may not have the power to use their medical equipment
✖Distribute water and food rations to citizens in need
✖Assist restaurants and supermarkets to salvage their food supplies as far as possible

While things aren’t looking too great, the Neo Tokyo Meteorological Agency is promising that temperatures will go down when the rainy season comes along. There hasn’t been much rain recently, however …

▶ 004. WELCOME TO OKINAWA.

After a few days of continued efforts to support the people of Neo Tokyo, things seem to have calmed down. LILITH has fired up some backup generators that are able to power the hospital and essential services, most of the fires have been contained, and the hospital has been able to get its patient load under control. LILITH has stepped in to further support the city, with their drones working hard to hand out supplies and provide medical aid. Restaurants continue to struggle, but nobody is starving, and LILITH is working hard to get the power back in operation.

On July 5th, there is a message from Captain Yamakawa:

“My Angels of LILITH. You may be at ease now. Our dedicated staff will take over from here. It’s been a difficult month for us all. To show appreciation for your efforts, we have organized a company trip to allow you the appropriate rest and relaxation. We do ask that you gather some supplies since food is short in Neo Tokyo, but that should be an easy task for our talented workforce. Please report to the data portals for departure at once."

Departure is set at 1100hrs, and Outsiders will be provided a water bottle and some sunscreen. Once they step through the data portal, they will be met with soft sand, the hot sun, and clear, beautiful waves - Welcome to Okinawa! Specifically, Outsiders will find themselves in Emerald Beach. While the water is pristine, the first thing Outsiders might notice is that there are unnaturally large coconut crabs all over the shoreline; with the majority of them the size of a large dog, and the largest of them about the size of a car.

Nearby to the beach, there are many abandoned fruit farms (such as watermelon, dragon fruits, mango and pineapples) that may have fresh produce for Outsiders to harvest. With how the rift changes the environment, some of these fruits have grown humongous in size. On top of that, the water appears to be cleaner than that found in Tokyo Bay. There are fish still swimming in it, and while some of these fish appear to have mutated, they do not appear inedible.

This is probably what Captain Yamakawa means by ‘supplies’.

█ █ █ MONSTER DEBRIEF SHEET
NAME: Coconut Crab
SIZE: 24 inches (size of a large dog) to about 5 meters (size of a car)
CLASS: Mild threat
LOCATION: Shoreline, ocean, forests
ABILITIES: Razor-sharp pincers with formidable gripping force - once it grips on to something, it is difficult to break free. Very hard shell that would take effort to crack.
WEAKNESS: Poor eyesight and hearing. Helpless if you tie them up. Becomes stunned with a knock to the head.
EXTRA NOTES: Apparently very delicious.

█ █ █ MISSION OBJECTIVE:
✖ Hunt and capture coconut crabs. Alive is preferable for the best quality meat.
✖ Harvest fresh fruit

▶ 005. THIS IS A VACATION WE PROMISE.

“Are they seriously making you guys work on your vacation?! This is why we can’t leave everything up to that stiff-ass commander. This should be our beach episode! Don’t worry, your daddy Seok Dang’s got you. Take a crab, take whatever you want, have a damn barbeque! Lie on the beach until your tan comes in. Get nude! Let’s get this party started!”

(LILITH would highly discourage anyone from actually taking off their clothes.)

Following Seok Dang’s message, outsiders will notice a pop-up appearing in their eyes, prompting them to accept an outfit upgrade. If accepted, they will find themselves in beach-appropriate attire (player’s choice) using LILITH’s Style Upgrade technology.

Despite Seok Dang’s bid for a party, Outsiders will have to make their own fun in this abandoned beach. They are free to do as they like, whether it’s having a swim, lying in the sand, playing a game of volleyball with an old ball that happens to be lying around, or cracking open a watermelon to share. He does try to encourage things along by sending a few gifts. Through the data portal, several drones will emerge and drop off portable grills, boomboxes, and alcohol from his private stash. For some reason he’s also unleashed a robot that is insistent on challenging Outsiders to a watermelon slicing competition. It looks like he’s serious about this beach episode …

Outsiders may travel between Okinawa and Neo Tokyo throughout the few days using the data portals. There are no resorts in operation in Okinawa, but should they choose to stay near the beach, they may set up a camp or sleep in an abandoned house or hotel.

▶ 006. AFTERWORD.

Welcome to our fifth 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 13 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! (Note that Las Vegas is currently being rebuilt and will be made available to visit sometime next month.)

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.

For oldbies: for a job well done after the last kaiju mission, 250,000,000 KRYPTOS (~1700 USD) will be deposited into everyone's account. And to our kaiju MVPs: we haven't forgotten you! Those characters will get their due recognition next event. :)

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

TDM #5 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 food ration bars. Newcomers are placed in gray loungewear while they are being sorted into teams.

2. THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME: Senior Outsiders return from Las Vegas via the data portal and will experience side effects such as dizziness, nausea and headaches. Newer Outsiders are tasked with taking care of their senpai.

3. TOO HOT TO HANDLE: There is a heatwave and that's messed up the power grid, leading to a city-wide electricity ration. Hospitals are struggling, fires are breaking out and black outs are happening all over the city. Restaurants are struggling to store their food so there there is a shortage of fresh food. Outsiders are tasked with assisting the hospitals, containing any fires, distributing rations to citizens and assisting restaurants to salvage their supplies.

4. WELCOME TO OKINAWA: With the chaos in the city now under control, LILITH has sent all Outsiders on a vacation to a beach in Okinawa. The caveat is that they will need to gather food supplies. These supplies come in the form of a coconut crab kaiju, fresh fruit and fish.

5. THIS IS A VACATION WE PROMISE: Seok Dang is eager to get this beach party starter. He's updated the implants, allowing all Outsiders to swap into beach-appropriate attire using LILITH's Style Upgrade technology. He's airdropped portable grills, music players and alcohol for Outsiders to enjoy. There is also a robot challenging people to watermelon slicing competitions. Outsiders can do whatever they want to relax at the beach.

001. ▶ ARRIVAL / CAFETERIA.

💥 ➊ ARRIVAL.

[Another month, another influx of new blood. Bakugo's seen it happen multiple times now, always leading in with the same hiss of pods, draining fluid, and the more common stumbling out of the container intermixed with more volatile responses. Natural scowl and narrowed eyes makes for an intimidating presence as the young hero stands near the entrance of the pod room in full costume, keeping watch of the newcomers as they emerge from their pods. He's leaving the escorting to the locker rooms to other orderlies and more composed Outsiders; his job here is to make sure no one gets rambunctious and starts causing trouble, such as attacking the LILITH workers helping them out of their pods (like he did when he first woke up here). Doesn't mean he won't tell someone to get a move on if they dawdle too long on the way out of the room... Perhaps you're one of those two camps?]

💥 ➋ CAFETERIA.

[Normally the cafeteria would be serving up some kind of food, but in this case, all they're tossing out are fucking food ration bars... Bakugo really hopes that's due to the events of last month and not some effort to be stingy on LILITH's part. While he usually avoids the cafeteria in favor of cooking his own food or more rarely going out to eat, that doesn't stop him from occasionally passing through the area to police for any stragglers left behind after they emerged from the locker rooms. Perhaps if you're nice, interesting, or pathetic enough, Bakugo might have mercy and treat your noob ass to a quick meal elsewhere...]

002. ▶ THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME.

💥 ➊ HOME AGAIN. - Departure

[Good-fucking-bye to Las Vegas. Measured steps stalk towards the teleportation machine as he leaves the oven-baked city behind. The experience here was intense, a massive fluctuation between interesting beginnings and traumatic hardships. While Bakugo's pretty interested (and surprised) that LILITH broke out a whole damn army of cleaner drones -- WHERE THE FUCK HAVE THOSE BEEN ALL THIS TIME?! -- he has no intention of sticking around the place long enough to ask. There were memories and scars here he'd carry with him for the rest of his life, but nothing enough that makes him want to look back over his shoulder again. He's already done that. Doesn't make the nauseating experience of LILITH's teleport any easier though. Meaning he's grabbing the nearest Outsider's hand and dragging them towards the portal.] Let's get the fuck out of here.

💥 ➋ HOME AGAIN. - Resting

[Bakugo never thought he'd be relieved to see Neo Tokyo again. The familiar atmospheric skies compared to the desert's void of blue is only slightly less intense a relief compared to the temperate climate in Neo Tokyo. Walking out the door no longer feels like opening the oven door to a blast of scorching dry heat to the face. Even the relative humidity of the original city is more akin to what he's used to from Japan's summers. Everything, for a bit, goes back to normal. His work as a police officer, resuming his self studies from school, training in the simulator or around the city, driving around to clear his head, and spending time in his own fucking room once more. There's a lot to talk about if anyone wants to try and strike up a conversation with him.

Current CR: Use this space to find Bakugo anywhere you like and interact with him about the experiences in Las Vegas.
New CR: Use this space to encounter Bakugo in the cafeteria or the dorms, though he won't share as much about his experiences.]

003. ▶ TOO HOT TO HANDLE.

💥 ➊ TOO HOT. - Heatwave

[It's fucking HOT out here! Japan can have some pretty damn melting summers, but that doesn't make it any easier to deal with the sweltering temperatures! At least it's not the oven-door-blast dryness from Las Vegas... Better than stepping outside and needing another shower in 60 seconds? That's up for debate now. (Yes.) And now they have to deal with fucking blackouts and power rations. Why the hell is Neo Tokyo always having some kind of tech issues?! From the heaters breaking in the winter to the power outages in the spring and now this bullshit in the summer! Ugh, goddamn kaiju-stomped city. Bakugo's no stranger to the heat, but he takes what steps he can to avoid dropping himself from a heatstroke or dehydration. Feel free to find him in a few efforts to beat the heat: 1) taking to the shade for a break, 2) resting in a half-full tub of water in the dark, 3) going for a dip in a lake or pool, 4) finding a high vantage point in the city and basking in the wind, and 5) bothering someone he knows or sees with cold-related powers...]

💥 ➋ TOO HOT. - Fire Fighter

[Thick air drags at the side of his face, evaporating the sweat before it even has time to bead on his pores. He jerks back as another branch crashes downward, avoiding the shower of sparking embers. Fight fire with fire, right? Twin explosions burst from his palms, launching him upward and lining up with the trees in front of him. Bakugo focuses his Quirk, sweat oozing from his palms before he swipes both outward in an arc and slinging droplets of his sweat into the air. It only takes one crack of spark and the entire crescent goes off in a massive explosion. Kept shallow and close to him, it's not the heat and smoke he's going for, but the sheer force of the explosions sending a burst of wind through the burning area. Flames peel off the ground and away from the trees, blowing off and smothering out in the rush. Bakugo emerges from the smoke, acknowledges the fires put out, and then blasts off to another one, using similar techniques to put out the fires and keep others contained until more help arrives.]

💥 ➌ TOO HOT. - Rescue Mission

[He can't breathe. Smothering his face behind the high collar of his costume's shirt, Bakugo keeps one hand over the boy's mouth, forcing the mask-like cloth to stay put and give him a filtered breath. A beam cracks beside him and the young hero eases to the side, avoiding sudden movements as he steps out into the hallway. Heat cloys at his eyes and he blinks a few times in the blackness of his mask. The kid's clinging to him. Good, that means he's still conscious. As much as he'd like to rush forward, he can't risk the structure of the building any further. It's not bad enough it can't be saved. Stalking down the hall at a fast clip, Bakugo finally notices the light in the smoke and makes for it quickly. Turns hard on his heel and smashes his shoulder against the window, knocking the entire frame out with a shatter of glass. Fresh air and smoke rush in and out, threatening a blowback the blonde quickly emerges from the window and out onto the roof. Boots braced, he quickly slides to the edge, locates one of the Outsiders nearby, and-] HEY YOU!! CATCH!!

[Damn right he's getting ready to pitch this kid in your direction!]

004 & 005. ▶ WELCOME TO OKINAWA & VACATION.

💥 ➊ OKINAWA. - Beach Down

[Out of the frying pan and into the fire. There's a saying like that, right? That's what the first few days back from Las Vegas felt like. Thank fuck it wasn't permanent. With LILITH's generators and drones helping the support things, the Outsiders are able to take a quick breather. Loathe as he is to go back through the teleporter again, apparently this is going to be a regular part of their lives now, so... Certainly wasn't expecting to be taken to a fucking beach! The entire scenery is straight out of a vacation magazine and Bakugo's caught immediately between well deserved relief and nagging guilt they shouldn't be on vacation while people back in Neo Tokyo still struggle. Alas, he's also aware running himself exhausted isn't going to help anyone in the long run. As much as he's nagged at some of his friends when they do the same thing... Fine. Just for a little while.

Swimming: First thing's first, a plunge in the water. You can find Bakugo in the surf, powerful strokes and perfect form carrying him through, over, and under the waves. He's grabbed a black-and-orange pair of boardshorts with white drawstrings and a stylized bomb skull on the side of the leg. Want to challenge him to a race in the water? Bring it on! Want to laze with him in the ocean? Go for it. Hold your breath and dive to explore something underwater? Sure. ~~Skinny dip? Maybe.~~

Surfing: Who the hell wants to know where he got that surfboard? Not fucking telling! (Okay, he brought it through the portal.) But you can find Bakugo out in the surf shredding the waves on his board, a tan-colored thing rimmed in orange and outlined in black. Cresting the wave tops, sliding down the backs, shooting the curls, or even ramping off the crests and pulling a trick or two before splashing down (purposeful) or sticking the landing. Maybe, if you ask nice, he'll try and teach you... or challenge someone if they also have a board. He's competitive.

Volley Ball: BRING IT ON, LOSER!! That's what you hear from him as Bakugo readies the volleyball in one hand, preparing to serve. It's not hard to suss out a volleyball net or make one of their own. The court's drawn in the sand with hands or feet and now it's just a matter of maintaining the lines and keeping score. Are you on his team, prepared to give your all to "slaughter these assholes" alongside your captain? Are you on the opposite team, shoring up to take on Bakugo's explosively aggressive sportsmanship? Or are you simply watching this boy try to turn a volleyball game into a bloodbath? Choice is yours.]

💥 ➋ OKINAWA. - Fruity Crabs

[Count this as the first time he's seen "kaiju" that aren't actually kaiju. They say monstrously-sized coconut crabs when they really mean "that's a lot of meat" and apparently it's free to harvest. Why is there a food shortage when LILITH can teleport people to ready food ingredients? Something you might hear Bakugo griping about as he cracks a crab over the head with a small explosion, killing it instantly. Or find him cooking one over a fire, ripping legs and claws off to more easily roast, cracking open the shell to get to the meat, and otherwise looking like he knows damn well how to cook a crab, serve it, and eat it.

Otherwise, he's focusing on the fruit, using a knife to cut them off the vines/stems or simply ripping them off with a sharp tug around the body. It might be odd to start eating rift-influenced fruits, but at this point, Bakugo's stopped giving a shit for the moment. He'd rather grab a knife and start chopping these things up with expert precision, leaving watermelon slices, mango cubes, dragon fruit wedges, and pineapple rings arranged for people to come by and grab to go along with their crab. Why the hell are there no coconuts here?

While Bakugo's going to avoid any alcohol, he will get roped into challenging that shitty robot to a watermelon slicing contest. Expect his usual bombastic-but-skillful performance. NOTE: If you want to spend the night with Bakugo on the beach, he'll set up a campfire, but it's bring-your-own-bedding for this one.]

[Oh no. Oh no. Even out here in the wide expanse of the ocean along the beach, Bakugo can get no relief, because GUESS WHO'S BACK. Here comes trouble in the form of one Yato-shaped god, riding atop a unicorn float he's procured from somewhere. Having spotted the blond among the crystal waters, he waves enthusiastically as him and his mount bob on the crests of the sea, paddling closer and closer. Once within earshot, he calls out with far too much glee.]

Oooooiiiii! Bakugo, heya!! Guess what?! We're on the same team! Ain't that great??

[What's really great is that if Yato gets set on fire, he has plenty of water to put himself out with, really. That and there's nothing and no one else to get caught in the (probably inevitable) blast once he tries the teenager's patience enough.]

[He almost jumps his shoulders out of his damn skin the second he hears that voice belting out across the ocean. There's no way! Fuck, not another one of these situations again! Didn't he get shunted off back home?! Or was he stuffed in a reserve pod... Either way, that shitty Bakami is back!

Pretend you don't notice him. Don't hear, don't see, don't give a shit. Bakugo's glaring death into the ocean before him, back staying pointedly faced towards the god currently splish splashing his way towards him. Ugh...]

WHAT THE HELL?! [Same team?! Like-- the same fucking dorm?! FUCK!! What cruel trick is this?!] I THOUGHT YOU FUCKING DIED, BAKAMI!!

[Perhaps it wasn't one of Yato's best moves, startling an already temperamental teenager with explosive powers. But then, sometimes he's not exactly one to think through the consequences of his actions. And while being ignored is preferable to getting blasted - on a technical level - to his wounded pride he'd rather suffer a burnt face.

Which is why he paddles right on up to Bakugo and pauses at his outburst, stunned in more ways than one.]

Wha... Really? You were... worried about me?? [Uh oh, now he's tearing up. Idiot.] Bakugo--! That's so sweet of you! Don't fret, I'm fine! I think I went back home for a bit, but this time they gave me a room and everything, so I guess that means I'll be staying for a while! We're gonna be dorm buddies, isn't that awesome?!

[ooc: sorry for taking so long! holiday weekend and family coming over really axed me.]

[He almost made it through the complete, deliberate ignorance. But then someone had to drop that bomb and the explosion is called forth. Does Yato really want to make a habit of ever antagonizing this walking bomb of a brat? He's already blown up the lobby of the transport station! Though how much damage he can get to out here in the ocean is probably a factor in Yato's favor.

Bakugo really should have expected something stupid to come out of Yato's mouth. It's typical of him, even from the once instance he had meeting with the guy. And yet, somehow, some fucking way-!]

Na-?! DON'T FUCK WITH ME!! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! DIE!!

[Hope Yato likes that float cause he's gonna go FLYING in it! KA-BOOM!! Bakugo slams an explosion-- BOTH HANDS --into the water and sends the guy sailing from that massive plume of rage.

He wasn't fucking worried!! And to top it all off, Yato's ALSO an Everlight?! FUUUCK!!]

it's that time of year!
