UN Zodiac | April Showers Bring...

[kaisoumods]

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

[The winds of March die down as we step into April, leaving a pleasant spring evening. The spirit vein's colors change to shades of orange and and yellow to represent the earth 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 messsage and comment to it.]


Wei Wuxian has joined the app. Say hi everyone!


Kohga, G'raha, Choso, and Ruby have left the app.

[The post then continues on.]

Hello and thank you for using the Libra app.

Happy April everyone! We at Zodiac would like to thank everyone for assisting us with the Fae. According to our reports, the Fae Court have finally moved on and will hopefully be gone for the forseeable future. Unfortunately, we still haven't found a good countermeasure for Fae curses, so if you were unfortunate to be cursed by them during their visit, we offer our condolence but also want to tell you that it'll be okay! Lots of people have been cursed by the Fae and have gone on to lead lives.

However, we understand at Zodiac that this year has been quite a lot for many folks. So we're happy to say we're currently in talks with a business partner about a vacation trip for everyone! We can't release the details yet as some things be finalized, but look forward for a chance for your own spring break and chance to get away from it all! 😎

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

Not all of them are small and cute. It just happens that you have Pokemon that could be classified as such.

[actnormal]

Are mine going to get that big??

["Anything" encompasses quite a lot of things that Nito knows are objectively worse than what happened last month, but he pointedly does not say this, lest he speak them into existence. They're aiming for optimism, after all.]

It will be somewhere with fruit trees, I imagine, judging by the last collection of prophecies. [a beat] ...Do you think that means there will be fruit-based cuisine?

All right, place your bets, where do we think we’re going for this vacation?

My guess is the Bahamas.

i sure hope they went on to lead lives.

also, god i hope there’s wi-fi where we’re going, there’s still a gameplay trailer i have to release. meant to do it in march but then everything went to hell.

Weeeelll, that all depends on where they're sending you lot. If it's somewhere on Earth? Getting Wifi anywhere is easy if you have the right technology. They have satellite internet now.

But given this is Zodiac, do you think they're gonna' send you into a gate?~

You can use the Zodiac app in gates, but. You might be Out! Of! Luck! If it's normal internet you need.

Hehe.

I'd love for it to be the Bahamas.
Somewhere sunny.

I can go out in the sun now. I deserve a beautiful island getaway...

[fionnuisce]

You familiar with the concept of a monkey's paw?

I'd put a fiver on 'the middle of fuck-all nowhere'.

[illucesco]

oh god i hope they don’t decide to be funny and have us go in a gate without normal non-magic internet. if i don’t have access to the internet for the whole month we’d have to push the trailer back again and that’s not fair to anyone.

[anyprice]

Welllll...

They didn't say they were sending you lot right away. Maybe some crunch time before it happens might be in order?
I could help you out~ For a price.

...

The price is pay for the coffee. I'll even go get it. Because I'm a nice guy like that.

And hey. Maybe it won't be so bad. Maybe you can leave after a few days if the vacation isn't to your liking, eh?
Like there's no way they'll force you to stay, right?

[ sampo doesnt realise he's gonna get sent too, he still doesn't consider himself part of these zodiac people. probably for his own safety. ]

[Husk was summoned by the word "bet"- like magic. Or catnip, if you valued your life enough to make that connection.]

Depends. What're the stakes? If we're betting and all. What do I get if I win?

[illucesco]

technically i’m already crunching, i’m just not about to ask anyone who works for me to do that. most of them are way too familiar with crunch time already.

…how familiar are you with trello or github? bc i actually have a demo and i’ve been keeping track of bugs, and if you took a look at it i’d appreciate it. and yeah sure i’ll get you a coffee, the guys at central perk know me.

sam you’re jinxing it.

[crisantemo]

is this going to be an actual vacation or "please help us with this thing and then you can relax"-cation

and i like white flowers, mostly. either roses or chrysanthemums are my favourite

[drewthetower]

[Please do not jinx it.]

Probably, if the fruit's edible.

[jackdawvision]

Congratulations, mate! I’m glad for you, although I personally wouldn’t recommend the Bahamas. Last time I saw them they were full of Brits who would have you arrested and tossed into jail the second you looked askance at their property.

Though that might have changed in the centuries since.

[anyprice]

That's why I'm offering! See, I'm a nice guy, helping you and your employees out by offering myself as sacrifice!

I'm pretty familiar with Trello, a lot of my customers tend to use it. I myself try to keep from having a digital footprint, but. I've got burner accounts on stuff like this, you know? I'm not exactly a coding expert but I dabbled in college.

I'd love to sit and bugtest your game for a few days. Let's go.

And I'm not jinxing ANYTHING! I tend to have REALLY Good luck, you know?

[jackdawvision]

I looked it up just now and all Google tells me is it’s a short story from 1902. Beyond that I’ve no real idea.

There’s quite a lot of “fuck-all nowhere” to be found.

[fionnuisce]

It's effectively become a figure of speech meaning 'you get a wish granted but with an unfortunate condition attached'.

For example, 'we get a vacation, but we're basically abandoned on the side of the road vaguely near some semblance of a beach'.

[jackdawvision]

Bragging rights?

I kid. I’ve a ship, I can take you wherever you wish on the coast if you win.

[lowestclass]

I'm relieved about it too. I feel like waking up after a long nightmare.

...

...Surely that has to have changed in the last 300 years, right!? Surely....!!!

...

Let's just go somewhere nice and not terrifying, then. Like maybe Hawaii.

[whiteshroud]

Probably the latter. I don't see Zodiac being that generous to have no strings attached.

Both of those are beautiful choices!

[wiseoldbartender]

So the prize for guessing our vacation spot is another fucking vacation?

Text: un: bar_cat75

[wiseoldbartender]

You already know it's gonna be the second one. I've only been in this shithole city for a month and I can tell you it's gonna be the second one.

...Do you genuinely answer their weird little icebreakers every time?

[crisantemo]

at least it'll probably be less stressful than everything else thats been going on

[ She says, unaware she's about to witness her dad and boyfriend have a mental breakdown over a rabbit and eggs in a weeks time. ]

thank you! i like most flowers, but i've always been biased towards white ones... do you have any favourites?

[crisantemo]

i'll take that over dealing with the fae again, at least. maybe we'll still get to relax a bit

[ She will, but Husk on the other hand...... ]

nope, but they asked about flowers and i like flowers and i like talking about them.
