UN: Zodiac | Happy New Year!

[kaisoumods]

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

[As the new year rings in, a deep cold settles into the city. The spirit vein's colors change to shades of blue as the water element takes hold.. 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 messsage and comment to it.]


Ruby has joined the app. Say hi everyone!


Amal, Minato, Izuku, Yor, Rean, and Pansy have left the app.

[The post then continues on.]

Hello and thank you for using the Libra app.

Happy New Year! We at Zodiac can't believe that two years have passed since the launch of the app. We'd all like to thank you for engaging with our humble app as well as all the work you've done for the city for the past two years. At every problem, you guys have been there to help things out. We truly appreciate all you have done.

As we head into 2024, let's hope that the year ahead of us its a good one. One where we come out of it smiling and not trapped in the Spirit Realm forever. We're currently working on possible solutions on our end, but we won't disclose until we've made progress on any of the avenues we're pursuing. Here's hoping we can update you soon with some good news. In the meantime, let's try to think postively!

Wondering how the new year will pan out for you? Well, we got some fortune slips you can pull to see where your luck will lead. Remember, only the first pull counts!

Now, let us finish off with a Libra App Recap and the ever-present ice breaker!

[And at this point, the app will trigger an automatic "Recap" mode, in which it'll show various photos and screencaps of "notable" (or random) events that happened to you since you joined the app. It's clearly a knock off of Spotify's Wrapped, but more trauma and less fun music playlists.]




This post is sponsored by Recolle Frames. Get our new smart frames so you can hold onto all your past memories. Located across the street from the Waffle House.

[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. By the way? Those characters who signed up for Secret Santa might get an additional text that will out the person who gifted them a secret santa gift, if they didn't know already.

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. ]

And why would I want a recap of this last year after the year I had? At least next year I'm supposed to have 'small good luck'.

Also, who here wants to bet that they're not going to manage to find anything about how to keep our city from going back to the Spirit Realm permanently?

i think this is the last app that needs a recap, after the last few months

also i tried that fortune thing



if i get all gray thats bad isn't it. what does "uncertain bad luck" even mean

un: fortuneclovers

[medicgunner]

right? this year's been a right mess.

i dunno what it means either, but i got uncertain good luck. if it's uncertain what's that mean for the kinda luck we get? it doesn't make sense.

[fiddlestick]

Welp, I pulled "bad luck" and considering my boyfriend now once again doesn't remember the app or our past life ... that sounds about right.

[droptheious]

I'm sorry to hear that, that's not a great way to start the new year. I mean, he's still here at least, but that doesn't always make it any easier.

"Great misfortune."

As I expected.

[...]

Wait.

What's with this text?

[fiddlestick]

What text?

UN: lunae

[heng_like_a_dragon]

Hopefully my "middle" good luck will counteract some of your misfortune.

You got a text about your Secret Santa as well? I suppose it makes it easier for me to go and thank Vash for his gifts.

un: silverrose

[fionnuisce]

Half good luck, and considering my only resolution is for nothing to kill me, I'll take that.

un: adagium

[scourgingstars]

Ah, catastrophic bad luck. What else is new? ♡

[jackdawvision]

Hey, look at this way: at least you have an idea what you’re up against.

And hell, there’s no one stopping you from making your own luck.

did

did they just try to fucking Libra Wrapped us?

[honestyandpluck]

They did. Some of these shots are a bit astonishing, though, I hadn’t realized the phone could still take pictures while turned off to conserve battery.

un: nope

[centralfiction]

What the hell?! I thought it was supposed to be SECRET Santa now you're texting all of them???

Uncertain "good luck" my ass!

Misery loves company, it seems.

[eiternity]

Wonderful! I was wondering who I should give my thanks to.

The cake you sent me was delightful.

text | un: kissmyash

[switchaxe]

yeah they do that after the gifts are out

[bullzerk]

Wait, what the hell? Why even call it "Secret Santa" if they're just going to blab to everybody!

UN: Thorn

[poisontippedcure]

Amal…

Perhaps this is for the best. I know he’s happy in this world. I hope his future is calm—-he deserves the break, honestly.

Speaking of, why is this year the year Zodiac is doing the recap? I’d rather forget.

text: un: trienemybest

[droptheious]

It's... well it's not really "okay", but at least he's still here. He's still mostly himself. I agree, he deserved a break and at least he got to fight Santa one last time like he always wanted.

Which are words I have just had to actually type out like that's normal.

[senorita_perfecta]

An app recap? I honestly have no idea why Libra thought that this is a good idea to begin with. What are they trying to be, Spotify?

Also I just got half good fortune / 半吉. Anyone here found out what kind of luck you have drawn this year?

text | un: captainkenway

[jackdawvision]

I want a redo of this recap. Punching Barney shouldn’t be a notable event, I’ve done more than that.

Text | UN: sardemon

[sardinelover]

Another person has joined the Libra app? And here I thought my work was done. No matter! I will complete my mission! There's still time to deliver this "Ruby Gloom" a fresh sardine!

[...well if anyone was wondering who the hell was giving them out, now you know.]

text; un: theprofessional

[sg09r]

Oh, so you’re the guy who left a sardine in front of my office. Thanks.

Are you going to give everyone who joins the app from hereon out a sardine?

[prunedworlds]

I dunno what I was expecting but middle bad luck, huh...

UN: ripfan

[bbbrightside]

Gee, a welcome, and a fortune for the new year?

Apparently my future it looking bright. Go figure! Thanks little gizmo.

un: captainkenway

[jackdawvision]

Oh, welcome to Kaisou, lass. Have you settled in yet?

What a bunch of bull. If they were actually trying to work on something, wouldn't the smart thing to do be to share enough of what it is for other people to help?

Saying "thanks for all your hard work" and "we can't tell you about something that affects you until we've done the work" in the same breath sounds like there's nothing being done at all. Typical corporate doublespeak.
