INCOMING MESSAGE (NON-KIDNAPPED CHARACTERS ONLY)

A CALL FOR HELP


β–Ά SUDDEN TRANSMISSION
On the 13th of October, the network flickers online and several messages pop up. Outsiders will probably recognize the usernames attached to them.

@ KIJYO

castle in the fog
skulls
watching us
sacrifice
help us

@ GOLDILOCKS

wolf kaiju
Promises protection
Found broken radio

@ BANKERBOY

🦸=❌
πŸΊπŸ’€πŸ”¨=less fog
πŸ‘Ή=πŸ¦‡πŸΊ
πŸ§‘β€πŸŒΎ=πŸ’©!
🏰=☠️!
go toget

@ ONESTEPFORWARD

We're okay for now. Careful of purple flowers. -πŸ¦†

Some Outsiders might notice these usernames to be Lucy/Kaede, Taryon, Nanami and Malkuth respectively. The messages end there and there will be no way to contact the senders or anyone who has gone missing. While Outsiders in the town will be able to use the network to speak to each other, the reception will be spotty and the messages might be delayed. It might be more efficient to simply meet up in person.



β–Ά AFTERWORD.
The messages from the kidnapped characters are out! Thank you everyone for participating! Non-kidnapped characters may use this log to have discussions (or do whatever else might be relevant). As previously mentioned, after the 7th, they will not be able to contact any kidnapped characters, and their messages to each other will be spotty or delayed (which can make for funny shenanigans if you prefer). It is probably much easier to organise an in-person meeting, but we will leave it to you to do what you like. The townsfolk convene at the church for their daily prayers and worship at about 12 noon every day. Outsiders may use this time away from the townsfolk to have more private discussions.

We have put this up early to allow people more time to thread in it, but ICly it is going up on the 13th and will lead up to the Kaiju log on the 15th. These messages are also delayed. Whether or not the captives actually are 'okay' is up in the air ...

All tags on this log are worth 2 points and will count towards October AC.

With a third of us out for count, we really don't have much of a choice.

That, and I'm hoping we can narrow down the source of their skulls by triggering mass panic. With any luck, it'll lead us right to where our missing friends are. If not, we'll at least be able to remove them entirely from the equation.

I never said it was an easy choice, or implied I was making it lightly.

I highly doubt future fights with kaiju will not require us to make moral concessions and prioritize personnel, resources and personal goals β€” the choice here is already harder than the last.

Honestly... I feel we are being graded on simulations even now.

You gods tend to have some pretty strong opinions sometimes, so this was just me throwing my hat in the ring to show my agreement with you. Before anyone decides to scrap with preconceived judgements. It wasn't my intention to imply you were, either.

… Hahah. Given how challenging it currently is to coordinate movements, I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes their next priority after reviewing our implant data. However, that is just a single part of the picture; they do try to support us in their own way, even if if it is, at times, misguided.

Oh. You agree? [ PIKASHOCK ]

It is misguided and they are strong lacking resources that could allow them to better train and support Outsiders. The longer we are in this silly little village, the more... I realize I cannot actualize my fundraising plans. Not without... ugh, UGH. Going through LILITH and giving a vast percentage to them.

Maybe that will help them.
