Un: Zodiac | Happy Holidays!

[kaisoumods]

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Libra App
WHEN: December 1st
WHAT: Zodiac Network Post
WARNINGS: None!

[As December arrives, a heavy snowfall gently begins to cover Kaisou, coating the city in snow. It's a cold night, so best to bundle up with some blankets and a hot drink. Everyone's devices will emit a soothing wind chime sound as a new Zodiac post appears. The chime will sound even if you have your phone turned off or on silent, and will not stop until you read their message and comment to it.]


Valvatorez, Wriothesley, Veldora, Frieren, Furina, and Meredith have joined the app. Say hi everyone!


Ann, Thancred, Libra, Abasi, Yae Miko, Dabi, Sandalphon, Danny, and Katsuki have left the app.

[The post then continues on.]

Hello and thank you for using the Libra app.

The holiday season is finally upon us! We know it's been a crazy year this year, and it's already looking like next year won't be less crazy- but we do hope you're able to find the time to enjoy the holiday season this month. You guys have worked so hard, that you deserve the rest!

In semi-related news, we're happy to announce that we'll be holding our second annual Secret Santa program! All the assignments have been given out, so we hope you guys will do your very best! Last year was such a success that we can't wait to see what this year will bring!

Finally, there will be a masquerade later this month at the Palais Garnier! As a thank you to all the work you've done this year, we have asked the coordinators (who we did thorough background checks on) to give everyone on the app free admission! Zodiac will also be happy to reimburse you on any outfits you may purchase for the masquerade, with a spending limit of $1000 per attendee.

That's all from us! We hope you have a wonderful holiday season! Now, as always, it's time to leave off with our famous icebreaker questions.

[Users will have the option to choose their own display names and userpics 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. Characters who signed up for Secret Santa will have received a text message informing them of who they got for secret Santa at this time.

Like always, there'll be no responses from Zodiac.

OOC Note: If you haven't responded to AC, you still have until 11:59am EST tomorrow to do so! Once you do, you'll be removed from this post. ]

A spending limit of $1000...

That does seem generous, but is it enough?

[ZHONGLI YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THINGS COST]

[medicgunner]

That's more than enough.

as a tailor

that is more than enough

[scourgingstars]

If you're planning to purchase a suitable outfit, certainly.

If you're planning to purchase several, rent the building, and also cover catering, no.

Really, have you still not gained the faintest idea of basic costs?

[infezione]

It's absolutely more than enough...

[joies]

It is enough. It is more than enough.

And if you try to go over that, I'm doubling your budgeting lessons.

not here and zhongli better thank his lucky fucking stars for that

Are you even going to change your outfit?

It's not, if you truly value a person.

You remember how I said I was always super grateful for you to look at the Vogue's paperwork because you're SUPER good at that but if there was ever any money involved I'd want my accountant to check it first?

Yeah.

Babe. This is why.

This is exactly why.

[This is just a Category 1 aiyah in the household. Nothing of note.]

Hm. I had no idea your habits were so widely known.

[He's absolutely been aware that Zhongli's spending habits are public knowledge. The man is as subtle as a brick to the head.]

Perhaps I don't need to say this, but just in case: please don't accept any unsolicited favors.

[Please don't get scammed. Or fall into being an immortal sugar baby.]

UN: makeitaventi

[venti_late]

And this is why we're going shopping for an outfit together! Right, Zhongli?

[There will be no argument. This is a Venti Marshalled Date.]

I see.

Kimono in my homeland often cost hundreds of thousands of yen. I assume that the same is true here.

One thousand would not be enough to buy formal attire.

[sg09r]

You’re serious? I could pay rent for six months on that kind of money! Yes, it’s more than enough.

[bebest]

OMG a MASQUERADE? You better believe I'm gonna be there looking FABulous. As if I could look anything but.

Just an FYI that The Vogue is still running our production of A VHS Christmas Carol, just use the side doors because the main ones are still befucked. But still, the crew worked hard on this given The Everything so give them some support! HOPEfully we'll have everything back to normal by the end of the month.

Also! Usually every year I have this thing where I double all bar proceeds from December to go to the local food bank, buuuuuut my bar isn't actually up and running again yet. So, instead, I've got my friendly bar staff hanging out in the theatre proper with big glass jars. Same rule as always, I'll double whatever we get by the end of December. Donate what you can, people- I wanna see what damage you can do to my bank account while we get some food to people who need it. So it's like DOUBLE the fun for you.

[drewthetower]

so I can dress the birds up in little hats to help mind the donation jars if you want

[fionnuisce]

Well, while the insanely rich make complete clowns of themselves...

That actually doesn't sound like the worst way to spend an evening. Even less terrible knowing I'm not paying for a new outfit.

[kowase]

Wearing a mask at a social gathering also means you may avoid speaking to anyone if you dress well enough.

This is how I managed to deal with my mother's Masquerade Balls as a youth.

[whiteshroud]

Do you think they'll want proof we went to the masquerade in order to get an outfit to pay for?

[He wants a new fancy dress but....... parties suck]

[infezione]

I'm not sure...

Show up long enough to help yourself to any refreshments and then get out ASAP?

A bit informal for a proper welcome, but I'll take it! Hello everyone, my name is Valvatorez. I look forward to working with you all!

Now then, with my introduction out of the way, is there anyone on this app who knows a good tailor? No doubt this Masquerade will be the first time I meet many of you in person, so naturally I must go all out! And I doubt any store from the human world would be able to match my unique tastes.

text; un: arise.

[lowestclass]

Valvatorez is... one amazing name, wow. It sounds like some fantasy novel...

Anyway, um. I recently just met an amazing tailor, named August. He's on this app, I'll ping him hold on...

@ August

He's working on making clothing for me that blocks out the sun, so...

un: nope

[centralfiction]

Hey, what gives?! I didn't sign up for anything why'd I get someone thrown at me for a Secret Santa?!

un: ragingbull

[bullzerk]

Skill issue.

[thewarriorqueen]

I don't suppose I could skip the outfit and simply take the thousand to cover the cost of feeding the creature that showed up in my apartment the other week...

[youwouldntdownloada]

Knowing these guys...definitely not.

I really hoped I could at least buy a fridge, but it's all dress I guess...

text; un: ochazuke

[needsteaplz]

A masquerade huh...It's been a hot minute since I've been to one. But on the other hand, if this is a chance to get an investment piece to keep, certainly can't say no to this.

UN: musicologyminor

Any advice for a first time go-er?

[sg09r]

Well, I was gonna stay in and watch Die Hard like I do every year, but now I’m intrigued. A masquerade, huh? Sounds real fancy.

Anyway, hi. My name’s Leon. I got in the day before yesterday, right after the cutoff time for data collection on new arrivals apparently.

un: fortuneclovers

[medicgunner]

... Leon?

Like, Leon Kennedy? They sent you? That is you, innit?

[standless]

A masquerade! Oh, it has been such time since I could properly attend such an occasion...

Certainly there were campus 'proms' and the like, but those can hardly compare!

I certainly doubt I shall put much dent into this ah, spending limit at any rate but I do fear I require some assistance in finding a tailor for small flying mammals.

Which is to say if anyone is willing to outfit a bat, I shall be eternally grateful!
