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.

And that is not in your power to decide!

The longer you fixate on being the arbiter of who lives and who dies, the harder it will be for you! I have seen humans tear themselves apart over this sort of thing, it stunts your growth and proves costly for the souls ACTUALLY depending on you: the other Outsiders.

[ Hah, hah. Shinn has very much metaphorically torn himself apart over who lives and who dies -- returned Stellar to the Earth Forces, shot down Athrun and Meyrin and Kira, attacked Lunamaria, tried to burn down an entire country for the promise of a new world without war. (Yeah, burn down an entire country with civvies included. Dearka is being a total bro for not bringing that last one up and Shinn owes him for it ... though not enough to shut up.) There were things he didn't understand, and there are things that he regrets, but still his motivation for fighting hasn't changed. ]

You know what literally tears humans apart? Getting blown up running away from a battle

[ Also metaphorically when they see their family get literally torn apart, that really fucks 'em up. Off-network, Shinn is reaching into his pocket for his dead sister's dramatic keepsake cellphone, but alas, the dramatic keepsake cellphone is not there because activity rewards have not processed. ]

Any power I have, whatever power I have, I'll decide to protect them!

[ "Any" and "whatever" being significant qualifiers given that the giant robots are currently out of commission, but fuckit!

It is an open question of whether years of being angry literally stunted his growth, though. 169cm at 17 is pretty small. ]
