We're okay for now. Careful of purple flowers. -π¦
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.
βΆ 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.
Do you think that personβs family can just βget it outβ? The people who relied on them, the people who loved them? We came here to help and you killed someone instead! Iβm not going to just get it out
yeah. you are. you don't, you're not going to survive this gig. literal, metaphorical, doesn't matter.
but lemme be clear. I came here to kill kaiju and stop the extinction of this humanity. losing a third of our warriors is an occasion for pulling out all the stops to retrieve them. simple as that.
Even if it's only one person, that's a human being! Talking about them like they're objects, not giving a damn whether they live or die -- maybe kaiju are monsters, but you're not any better
[ Thanks to Space Whale Drama there is not a lot of religion in Shinn's life other than island legends like Haumea and things you name ships after. ]
Then I'm glad no one believes in you anymore
[ Shinn has no idea what this guy thinks he's a god of, but his own world has such low levels of religiosity that saying "Neener-neener no one thinks you're real" seems like it would probably be accurate back home. (He would not neener-neener a Minerva, but Minerva is a special case.) ]
[ Oh, that one cuts deep. Probably deeper than Shinn even intends, since it involves knowing a lot of history that he simply isn't privy to. He definitely has a Moment where he considers going to find this guy and just taking care of business, since it seems like he's a hindrance more than a help by just how much he's picking fights...
So, good thing he's still in "jail" with Set in the barn. ]
you know I have to hand it to you. find your point of view naive as hell but you got a talent that I definitely appreciate. you're good at sowing the seeds of conflict, so I've got no complaints there.
just watch your back on the battlefield. a warrior that only fosters ill will is the one that no one is going to step in to help when they need it.
[ That hurts! Fuck, that hurts! He misses Luna, he misses Kira, he misses Hilda, he misses Hilda's-wingman-voiced-by-the-YuGiOh-Abridged-Guy and Hilda's-other-wingman-not-voiced-by-the-YuGiOh-Abridged-Guy, he misses everyone he knows would have his back in a fight. He really misses Rey because Rey would have a smart calm polite way to tell everyone to get in line or get fucked. He even misses Athrun because if Athrun were here Shinn wouldn't have to try and apparently fail at giving the "with great power comes great responsibility not to blow civilians up starting the cycle of angry teenagers all over again" talk. Honestly, even Agnes didn't treat a list of war crimes like her to-do list! Speaking of which: ]
[ Even when Shinn ran around screaming that the Athhas killed his family by not being able to protect the country he didn't say that the Athhas murdered his family. ]
It sounds like you tried to protect those people and screwed up
That's not the same as not bothering to protect them, and it's not the same as murder!

[ And Shinn feels like he is very firmly in the right that this guy should not be murdering the locals? ]
no subject
anyways I'm not going to hide from it or apologize for it. that's why I'm telling you to get it out of your system now.
there's still work to do

HOW IS NOT MURDERING CIVILIANS "NAIVE"
no subject
but outside of it? saw you mention the imugi, so we'll use that. you think they got murdered?
no subject
It sounds like you tried to protect those people and screwed up
That's not the same as not bothering to protect them, and it's not the same as murder!
no subject
yeah that's about the answer I expected. this'll be an interesting gig for you then.
[ what does that mean? it'll remain mysterious, since he doesn't seem inclined to explain! ]
anyways I'm not going to apologize for it. would have been better if it turned up something more lucrative, but couldn't know that until it was tried.

And you can cut the condescending shit
