WHO: Sung Jinwoo and Y'all
WHERE: Zodiac App
WHEN: 1/22
WHAT: Monthly Prophecies
WARNINGS: None, will update if needed?

[ today's video feed opens up to an image of Jinwoo--without his usual hood and mask on--sitting in what looks like a fairly modern, well-decorated livingroom. The windows of the room are all covered despite the fact that it's a crisp, nice midday afternoon outside, but. He's going to turn the camera more in his direction with a small wave of his hand. ]

I think, the last time I addressed the network like this, it was by accident--meaning to send a message to a friend of mine that somehow got posted to everyone...
Anyway. This time, I promise, I'm posting it on purpose.

I'm a little unclear on how this works fully, but I appreciate your patience. It's time for this month's Prophecies? We share these with everyone, right? Well.

Takame's got music playing in his head--a song that I'm sure at least one of you might recognise, because god knows I do. [ and he'll post a midi of said song with a sigh. ] It probably goes hand-in-hand with August-ssi's tarot reading where he drew the Lovers card?

Probably unsurprising given that next month has Valentine's day...
It relates pretty consistently with another one of the seers who saw visions of a heart-shaped bed at some point. Take it from me when I say that 'novelty' beds aren't comfortable to sleep on. Eizen once gave me a race car bed as a joke, I think...

Anyway. Arthur saw a scene that reminded me a little that scene from Robin Hood--you know, when the king creates an archery contest to try to trick him out of hiding? All the little targets in a row, a bunch of people with bows...

Another vision was--and I know it sounds weird, but. Frogs. Caesar got something to do with a lot of frogs.
Seriously, a lot of frogs. Like, Moses and his Plagues on Egypt level of Frogs raining from the sky.

I'm not sure if the frogs go hand-in-hand with Nito's feeling of feeling bouncy? I sure ... really hope we don't turn into frogs or something. I think we've all had enough strange things happening lately.

I'll end with the fact that I've been plagued by these weird screens lately. I've talked with you few about them--and apparently I'm the only one that can see them. So, the thing I saw was a vial. Like a ... sample bottle, maybe? With a pinkish fluid in it.

Maybe it's perfume? I have no idea, I don't recognise it. Sorry.

I think that's it for now.
Thanks for listening.

[ he'll do a small bow towards the camera--and then turn it off. ]

I know the Spirit Vein is all fucked but seriously is there something in the water? I think we get new seers every month.

[lowestclass]

I promise I didn't drink anything strange.

It's been a long time. I'm careful.

I admit I've been having fuzzy memories with these screens for a while now, but. This is the first time one of them has been clear enough for me to recognise something.

[drewthetower]

If it's more fucking peach juice I swear to fuck I'll get a flamethrower.

[lowestclass]

Trust me, me too. I remember the one you gave me to deliver to Jusis.

...Admittedly, I didn't open the box, so I didn't actually see the juice...

[hoshikiri]

[At the risk of jinxing something, Takame had an unrelated but sweet response.]

You did well.

[lowestclass]

Aha...ha. Thank you, Takame-ssi.

Normally, I don't get stage fright. I'm trained against that sort of thing.
... Is it weird that I was nervous about this?

[hoshikiri]

I don't believe so. I've heard it is somewhat natural to be a bit apprehensive putting one's self in the public eye to share something new.

[Coming from the guy saying it as if reciting from a book who literally seemed to be shaken by nothing at a glance.]

[lowestclass]

You're definitely not wrong.
Before I got --recruited into the Black Order-- [ he had to bite his tongue from using a ruder word there ] I was actually a TV star.

But at the very least with that sort of thing it's practiced scripts.
I'm not much of an improv guy.

You got it too, Babe? Seems like it's contagious! Fortune-telling-itis, yikes.

You know, I was on board for all the romance and the novelty beds right up until the frog thing. That seems WAY out of place. Like, is there some world here where there's like... a love frog? Can that be a thing?

Anyway, that last one sounds like lube. It's probs lube.

[lowestclass]

Here I thought it was just some memory from my past coming to haunt me. Turns out it's another weird power that I didn't ask for.

Glad I didn't get the love frog vision.

[ and then he is choking. He is visibly, audibly choking on video, And hiding his face. Oh my god. ]

--Ohcomeon that can'tbewhatitisright.

...

What if that's what it is.

[ kinda not here ]

[crisantemo]

[ And in the background of Jinwoo's video, Lapis can be heard bursting into giggles. ]

[bebest]

Yeeaaaaaaaaaaaah, that happens here. You just get random powers and sometimes that's seeing the future- wild!

[He snickers lightly.]

Oh my goose, what if someone has to kiss a frog to find a prince?!

[He HEARS you, Lapis! He hears you.]

Ask Lapis about it, she'll fill you in, Big Guy.

[lowestclass]

Tell me about it. I opened a grab bag to get a fun new knife and also got turned into a vampire to go along with it.
'Random Powers' really doesn't describe the weird phenomenon enough. Ten years I've been remembering my past life and since arriving in Kaisou, my powers have grown at nearly a frightening rate.

...


Anyway.
Maybe.
Maybe she'll tell me.
When she stops giggling like an idiot.

You've straight out killed her, I think.

Also, don't go kissing frogs unless you know it's a friend cursed into one.
You might get cursed, too.

[AUDIBLE CHOKING NOISES]

Fuck--

[SIR]

[bebest]

[Unbothered as always:]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmyeeeeessss? Do you have a question in the back there?

[drewthetower]

Absolutely not. [Breathe, August.] Just. Didn't expect that. Fuck.

action!!

[crisantemo]

[ And standing behind the phone, out of view, is one Lapis who gives him a soft smile once he switches the video off. ]

See, it wasn't that bad... Though that combination of things does sound a little worrying.

[ Valentines overload and frogs??? It sounds like they're going to turn into frogs. ]

[lowestclass]

[ he lets out a breath, trying his best not to mimic a baloon running out of air as he shuffles over to hide his face in the crook of Lapis' neck. ]

You know, I once had myself trained out of stage fright.
This is ridiculous.

...

If I turned into a frog, you'd kiss me to make me human again, right.

[crisantemo]

[ Once he hides his face against her neck, she'll reach up to wrap her arms around him - one hand playing with his hair gently. ]

Well, you've never had to do anything like this before, right? So being nervous is understandable.

...

[ And then she snorts, tilting her head to gently bonk against his. ]

Of course I would. Though I hope you'd do the same for me.

Video

[prunedworlds]

"You know, if it was just one archer maybe it could be Amor--Cupid? But a lot of them like you said doesn't really sound like it."

A pause as she considers that for a moment.

"I really hope it's not Amor, at least..."

[lowestclass]

"...I can't say I know what 'Amor' is. Cupid? I've never really read about things like that."

He's more of a TV and comic book guy--history was probably his worst subject.

"If it's Amor... is that. Bad?"

[prunedworlds]

"Amor and Cupid are both names for the same god, a god of love. He has a bow and arrows that if he shoots people with them, they fall in love. Usually nowadays people think of Cupid as a cute little baby with wings and a bow and arrow though."

She's just a fount of semi-useless mythology trivia.

"And... I guess maybe it's not necessarily bad, but I'd be kinda worried if there's a god of love causing trouble, you know?"

[illucesco]

[Memory unlocked! ...it's just of running around after frogs and catching them.]

They're not red frogs, are they?

[lowestclass]

It wasn't me who got the visions, but. I don't think there was any specific color mentioned.

Just. Frogs.

...

Do you have bad experiences with red frogs?

[illucesco]

I don't think so? [He sounds a tad uncertain.] I just remember running around after them and catching them for someone.
