UN: Zodiac | March into March

[kaisoumods]

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

[As we move into March, the spring winds begin to blow. It's still rather cold tonight, but it'll warm up as the month goes on. The spirit vein's colors change to brilliant shades of green to represent the wind element. 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.]


Nicholas, Husk, Opal, Navia, Argenti, Rosalina, Hua Cheng, Choso, Samuel, and Caleb has joined the app. Say hi everyone!


Arthur, Mercedes, Souta,, and Nacht have left the app.

[The post then continues on.]

Hello and thank you for using the Libra app.

March is marching onward and the city has plenty of fun in store for the month! As always, we will be celebrating Celtic heritage with St David's Day and St. Patrick's Day celebrations to get into the spirit of this month! Be sure to enjoy the delicious food and drink on offer! Spring Equinox will also arrive this month, we hear interesting celebrations will be held on Cathedral Hill which promises to be fun for the whole family.

Our seers have advised us that we may be getting another visit from the fae this month. As they are known to be tricky customers, we have created a useful how-to guide to save strained relationships and potential soul stealing. You want to be safe out there, after all!

- DO NOT give them your real name.
= DO NOT lie to them
- DO NOT step into a fairy ring [IMAGE ATTACHED]
- DO speak to them politely
- DO give them honey
- DO let them inside your home and be hospitable

With these handy guides, we should be able to have a peaceful visit from our yearly visitors! Let's be mindful of each other's cultures and we are sure no mishaps will occur this time.

That's all for now! We'll leave you off with our icebreaker question.

[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.

Like always, there will 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. ]

[Oh hey, it's Husk! He's working at whatever dive bar down in Undertown he's managed to get a job at, and doesn't look overly impressed with any of Zodiac's bullshit.]

By the Christ, are all the Zodiac posts like this? No wonder shit's on fire so much if this is what you're working with.

[Whatever, he's got more important things to share. He turns the camera to show off a glass of honey-coloured liquid. It seems to be glowing faintly. ]

Found somethin' from my past life. Afterlife. Whatever. S'called Beelzejuice, it's a mead they made in the Gluttony Ring that demons could drink and get shitfaced on- it's strong enough to get over any regeneration you've got going on. So if any of you poor fuckers have been saddled with that, congrats, you too can now get hammered.

[He picks up the glass, tilting it this way and that, watching the liquor slosh around in it.]

Dunno what'd happen if a mortal drank it. We didn't exactly have any of those in Hell. Probably don't drink too much of it unless you wanna wake up with a case of the dead? Or do, I don't give a shit, I ain't your babysitter.

[He definitely doesn't have his regenerative abilities back yet. At this point, he's not convinced they will come back. It doesn't stop him from downing it in one anyway. UGH, yeah, yep. That's dug up some hazy-ass drunken memories. Fun. ]

Anyway, that's your fuckin' New Booze PSA with Husk. Do what you like with it. Don't come bitching to me if you overdo it.

Nah, the middle of the month ones are done by some intern or somethin' that hates everything. Those are fun. I'm pretty sure this one's done by some AI freak.

I’ve surprised worse than strong alcohol.

I look forward to trying it.

[crisantemo]

Huh... So if I drank that, I could get drunk?

[ Lapis has already told him about how, since arriving in the city, alcohol doesn't even give her a slight buzz no matter how much she drank. Not that she even really got drunk before.

And while she's thinking about that - ]

Also. You don't have regeneration, do you?

[not_a_possum]

No, not all the posts are like that. Most don't have anything useful.

[hasitsthorns]

Oh, hey! I do have a higher than usual alcohol tolerance... Doesn't mean I can't get fucked up, but now I can faster! Efficiency, baby.

[ She doesn't have her abilities back yet either to the usual extent which she will, unfortunately, learn the hard way. ]

So is this New Booze PSA a regular thing? Is it your thing?

Oh great, not those guys again! I do wonder what sort of a visit are they planning to do this time. Because the last time some of them were here, a lot of us got cursed to be monsters and some of us got even kidnapped by them too.

so remember how last year i said 'don't fuck with the fae'

DON'T FUCK WITH THE FAE.

and if you weren't here for me saying that, please refer to the above point.

Fae aren't bad most the time as long as you follow their rules...

[drewthetower]

+1

if you knowingly fuck with the fae you are on your own

this is Cygnus Academy's official stance btw

if you accidentally fuck with the fae that's a different story

[scholarlywarden]

For those of us who are less familiar with what that entails, are they any additional things we should know other than what is posted here?

what happens if you fuck with the fae?

[actnormal]

Wait, people can leave the app? I thought you couldn't uninstall it?

Anyway, I'm Caleb! I'm Noct's cousin, if you know him. (￣ω￣)/

Boxing is considered a sport, isn't it?

Sure is, I used to do that shit in and out of college.

[For anyone who knows him, uh. His girlfriend apparently just left the app. BRB CALLING HER RIGHT NOW TO NOT PANIC.]

[sassery]

Helllloooo, everyone!

[ Front and center of the screen is a very brightly smiling blond woman:



She gives the camera a wave before setting it down on a steady surface. Don't worry, she makes sure to angle it just right so there's a gorgeous view of her cleavage for all to admire. ]

My name's Rosie and I guess I'm newer in town. Sounds like this place is pretty lively though. Can't wait to take in all the local flavor. [ If that sounded oddly sensual, no it didn't. Don't worry about it. She moves on quickly enough. ]

As for my favorite sport, it's prrrrrrobably American football. Rugby, some people might have instead? It's similar though! Either way, there's no greater sport than one where men built like lumberjacks tackle each other into the ground.

Well, actually-! [ After some brief, but very serious, consideration: ] Maybe grease wrestling. That's a close second.

Nice to meet you all! Hit me up if you wanna' chat, know where some good music is, or are looking for a fun time.

I’ve never seen someone so earnestly answer Zodiac’s question, but at least you’re honest about it.

[ everyone seems to be doing it, and the phone won't stop making noise until he commits to a proper response, so choso can only give in and let technology boss him around for a little in the middle of his moping. ]

my name is choso. i am not from here. the only sport i am familiar with is beach volleyball and board games. i do not like either.

if you see or meet anyone by name of Itadori Yuji, call or text me at this number, i presume.

text; un: captainkenway

[jackdawvision]

I'm quite familiar with a few board games myself, though I suspect they're older versions of those you may know.

If he hasn't responded to this yet, he hasn't shown up here at all, mate. I'm sorry.

It seems I have arrived at an interesting time with all this talk of fae visitors. You may call me Jing Yuan, I only recently arrived from Shanghai and am unfortunately rather jetlagged. If I do not respond please do not take it personally.

As for sports I am personally rather fond of chess, Xiangqi to be precise.

it's such a surprise to see you with your shirt on. good to see you again, mr. starchess.

Do the fae also appreciate eggs in addition to honey? Because I cannot fathom what my vision might have in connection otherwise.

[Yes, that is a skeleton in a cat-eared cloak on the video for those who are new, your eyes do not deceive you. And yes, he does sound perplexed by what he's saying too, so take what you will from that.]

[ hello F R I E N D nice hoodie ]

Well, since I uh. Showed up here about this time last year, I remember these fae things and being told to stay away from them. But if you need eggs--if eggs are something the fae like, I do have chickens in my homestead if you want any, Nito!

[illucesco]

i'm starting to wonder who else is going to show up who i know this month. i know four names on that list, this is a really weird pattern.
