Un: Zodiac | Mid-Month Update

[kaisoumods]

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Libra App
WHEN: April 15th
WHAT: Zodiac Network Post
WARNINGS: None!

[We've reached the middle of April. By now, the folks who were trapped in their own personal dungeons have been rescued, and the peach has been recovered from Zodiac and destroyed. Undertown has gone back to normal, while Zodiac's been very quiet. The post begins like the previous one had, with notifications of peoples coming and goings]



Dante, Vergil, Nicholas, and Kara have joined the app. Say hi everyone!


Suzume and Diluc have left the app.

[The post then continues on as normal.]

Hello. Thank you for using the Libra App.

It's me again. Could you stop telling people I'm dead? I was just visiting my family out of state and I forgot to turn off the auto-post function, for crying out loud. Have none of you people ever heard of taking a vacation?

Anyway, I'm not sure what happened, but there's something going on with head honchos. They cancelled their big announcement and took the rest of the month off, citing that "they deeply regret their greed-filled actions and wish to take time to reflect". I was skeptical at first, but then they offered to increase everyone's pay and give us a better benefits package. There's even been talk of donating to charity, and not just for tax purposes. It's like all of board members had a change of heart.

Well, the surviving ones. Two of the board members died all of sudden. It was a pretty grisly way to go, black fluid started coming out of their eyes and then they keeled over. No one knows what happened, but it's got a lot of people freaked out. There's been sanitation crews and exorcisms all over the place.

Crap, I rambled. Anyway, Zodiac's going through some restructuring so if you don't hear from us for a bit that's why. And seriously you weirdos, stop saying I'm dead.


This post is sponsored by Victory Road Trainers. Get into shape using the help of animal companions!

[Well that was weird.

Anyway, Users will have the option to choose their own display names and user pics if they haven't already. If nothing is chosen, the app will use their real name and a quick photo taken of them from their camera's phone. Like always, there'll be no responses from Zodiac.

Note: Even if the event is over ICly, please feel free to continue backtagging the event logs for the month!]

Yeah. I don't think you being a jackass in a past life matters.

[kowase]

I suppose not.

...I would hope not.

[drewthetower]

If it did, I don't think Dante would have moved in that quickly.

[kowase]

I'm not sure about that.

Have you ever seen the man? He looks feral, and vaguely homeless. My home is a luxury compared to whatever hole he recently crawled out of.

[drewthetower]

Technically he was homeless, because I don't think any of us were gonna let him stay in the Zodiac apartments. So. Also I haven't seen your house but I bet it looks like your shop.

[kowase]

...

It's upstairs, if you wish to go look, but what do you mean it looks just like my shop.

[ august is right. it's just a very white, clean, rich person's house full of antiques and books, it's too clean to be fucking reasonable. ]

[drewthetower]

The fact you live above it...

[He gestures vaguely to the shop around them.]

I bet your house looks just like this--full of antiques and crap and no personality outside of "history nerd, and not the fun kind".

[kowase]

It was simply easier to find a place that could double as a house and my shop.
I had a similar set-up back in Italy, I will have you know.

[ and then there's the world's most pregnant pause after August's comment. ]

If there's nothing else, you can go home now, August.

[ you nailed it ]

[drewthetower]

Any more questions about being a half-demon?

[kowase]

I would ask if it comes with any more of... this. [ he gestures, his silver hair, his catlike eyes. ]

I was born with black hair, I will mention.

But given you look... human, as does Dante.
I would assume there's no worry about that.

[drewthetower]

The white hair seems to be something we all kinda deal with, but the cat eyes are probably all you. You might get the ability to transform into a demon, but that's it.

[kowase]

...Transform into a demon.

Well, that's being put on a list of things I really would rather go without.

[drewthetower]

Honestly it's not that bad. You're still fully in control, you just gain a few feet and can do more shit.

[kowase]

...You are refreshingly vague, but I suppose that just means I will eventually find out for myself.

[drewthetower]

Look, I turn into a giant magic bird man. Nox turns into a dragon looking thing. I have no fucking clue what Dante turns into. Vague is as good as you're gonna get.

[kowase]

.........................................................

[ there you go, mentioning Nox again.

Vergil looks at August with

such an expression. ]

Nox Miller, hm.
He's supposed to be bringing me by a blade that he has.

[drewthetower]

[Look, he won't mention the why but he can mention Nox when talking about half-demon shit.]

Yeah? Appraisal?

[kowase]

He said the sword somehow works with a combustion engine.

It seems impractical.
I want to examine it purely with interest about old weaponry and how a Durandal model would work that way.

[drewthetower]

Oh, Red Queen? Be careful with that thing, she's his baby I swear to god.

[kowase]

Deeply attached to it, is he.

I'll keep that in mind.
