UN: Zodiac | Midmonth Post

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Libra App
WHEN: May 18th
WHAT: Zodiac Network Post
WARNINGS: None!

[We've reached the middle of May. The Dark Hour ended, with Douman and Dickson now permanently out of the picture. The post begins like the previous one had, with notifications of peoples coming and goings]



Danielle, Vivian, Bailey, Faye, and Alex has joined the app. Say hi everyone!

[The post then continues on as normal.]

Hello. Thank you for using the Libra App.

Still not dead, the post's just late because I decided to take a few extra days off.

I'm supposed to advertise that new paid subscription. Blah blah, pay a stupid amount of money for services that should be free. Shittification is real. Sign up now.

Also I don't want to ask this, but my coworkers are getting annoying about this- so are you guys all okay? There was some weird posts on the network and two more Black Order members have gone MIA. Something went down, didn't it?

You know what, forget I asked. I'm done.

For the first thing I see on an app I can't uninstall to be something like this... maybe I shouldn't want to know what happened.

But I definitely do want to know.

Trust me, you don’t.

[vanescere]

If what's happening is dangerous, and it sounds dangerous, isn't it better to know than to be caught off-guard?

[She has a point.]

The Black Order got mad that one of their operatives died last month, so they sent two people here to ‘keep us in line.’

A few of us got kidnapped and trapped in our worst nightmares. Everyone else went to fight the two Black Order agents, who apparently transformed into monsters? I am unclear on that last part.

A couple of freaks fucked around and found out.

[vanescere]

It sounds like it got really serious, considering everyone that's talking about recovering.

[centralfiction]

Aside from the fact that no one died we basically went through the entire Rogue's Gallery of Bullshit you can think of.

But Shut The Fuck Up Friday is every day, so.

[That's all you're getting.]

Can you also imagine that they wish to charge us up to 90$ a month for premium; while the option to mute the damn thing's incessant and constant ringing is not one of the options.

[vanescere]

I couldn't even imagine paying that much for one of those monthly subscription deliveries. Even if I could magically afford it, there's no way it's worth 90$.

[kowase]

Refusing to pay for something that exorbitant on principle is the most logical approach to this irritating app.

Welcome to Zodiac. Get ready for your life to get disturbed often and without remorse.

[Hey that's one of Edward's interns, Jun recognizes her]

Haha, it's a pretty long story.

I bet your boss could tell you better than I could. He's great at stories.

[ :) ]

[vanescere]

[There's starting to get to be so many familiar people on here. Maybe concerning!!]

I'll make sure to ask him when I get the chance. I did hear a little bit though. It looks like I've been missing out on a lot of things.

[Not saying who or where she heard because if people made the messages private then it's gotta be private.]

[whiteshroud]

That's a bit of an understatement, really.

How have things been on the ship? Sorry I haven't been around lately. Life's been busy.

[Or at least, hasn't been around in a couple months]

[Ah. He thought he saw someone vaguely familiar. He remembers her from the ship. Though, something about Faye makes Dan Heng want to reach out. Like she's a little more familiar than just the nice intern at Edward's ship.]

It is for the best, I think. Or it should be kept off the app for now since there's a lot of confusion around it. A lot of it was private and personal.

I did not expect to see you on Libra, though. My name is Dan Heng, or Maple as some of my colleagues will call me. I'm a biologist, archivist, and guard with POKEGO. I also do some work at Cygnus Academy as a biology professor. It's nice to meet you properly.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. The Libra users have formed a very supportive community.

[vanescere]

[The name is oddly familiar, but she can't put her finger on it. Like she'd heard it before, and that the context was positive.]

I did hear a little bit, and definitely won't ask someone to just spill their entire story. Learning things haven't been good is, as I understand it, an understatement. But I'll take it.

I didn't expect to be on here either. Especially not with something installing and making itself at home on my phone. But it's nice to properly meet you, Dan Heng. I never introduced myself before, so I'll start with: my name is Faye, and I don't have nearly as impressive a resume. Just a university student on break, and a part-time online tutor.

I'm not sure I know which questions to even ask yet, but I'll try and keep them off the app when I do ask them.

[heng_like_a_dragon]

For many, their stories can be normal or abnormal yet still believable... but it's their stories about their past lives that can be difficult to come to terms with. You may even start to experience that for yourself, now that you have the Libra app.

I hope you get the rest you need while on break. University can be tough. I've only recently graduated myself, so it's quite fresh on my mind. If you need any tutoring work, I can refer some of my students to you if you're comfortable with that.

Most questions should be fine to ask on the app, but that's still up to your discretion and comfort.

TEXT..... TO HER PHONE!!

[youwouldntdownloada]

[For the last number of months, Yasuho's ironically not sent much to her friend; after Faye stopped sending replies back, there was the expected frantic worry and texting of course, but after that it was just a stretch of...Hope.

The occasional message with a neat drink or dish, a cute animal, a sort of 'thinking of you- please respond', without saying it.

They've stopped for the last little bit though, for..well, good reason. April, Yasuho spent most of her time on that animal island. Not really much she could justify sending from there.

This month, well, this month just shouldn't exist.

But at last! Something vague and silly she can text to Faye-]

omg you won't believe it

there's someone else out there who uses fairylights for their name haha

[vanescere]

[Her previous phone had been an unfortunate victim of the time while she was ill -- dropped somewhere when she didn't have the strength anymore, and no longer where she dropped it once she... recovered. Unfortunately her new phone didn't have any of the information of the old one, including text history.

Receiving a text message instead of the app's notification sound is a welcome change. Even more welcome when she sees who the text is from.]

Wait, really? Now you have me curious, where are they using it?

she had a literal 'nu phone who dis'...oh no faye...

[youwouldntdownloada]

[ah shit she stepped right in that one

uhhh uhhhhhhhhhh-]

Oh, just a small group study thing...you can use whatever for displays there!

(still used mine ofc)

[unreachableside]

[Blade goes through a whole face journey, staring hard at his phone, and then turning it off and then staring at it again, and then going and doing something else and then coming back to it and staring some more.

She looks familiar.

But why?

This is going to bother him until he remembers. Did he know her in his past life? Was she an acquaintance from before he lost all his memory?

In the end he just leaves a very unhelpful comment.]

It's pointless to get involved.

[vanescere]

[That the username feels familiar is just a little ridiculous, isn't it? Blade was a simple word that a lot of people could very well use the name for any reason. So why? She doesn't remember any association.]

Maybe you're right, but I can't sit back and do nothing just because someone said so. Especially if there's anything I can do about it.

text; un: theprofessional, 1/2

[sg09r]

There’s a lot to catch you up on, but you’re gonna want to move it to a private line off the app, on account of how no one trusts Zodiac because they’d sell us all out for a corn chip.

[wait a fucking minute.]

Faye, like. Faye Kennedy?

[There is only one person who’s enough of an action movie buff to make his username an action movie reference.]

[pranas]

It is for the best that you don't.

[ he saw her on the ship, didn't he? before teresa's attack. he is certain he remembers her face. ]

Especially when the story is as layered and complicated as this one is. Do not worry, if your curiosity will allow you to rest there are many on the app who may be happy to regal you the tale. [ himself included. ]

[vanescere]

That seems to be the favorite advice for most people to give today. Not that I don't appreciate it.

I know better than to ask people for personal stories, or to explain anything that's too especially complicated, but there must be something making or helping these things happen. At least that's what I think. There's a strange feeling here that I don't remember from years ago.

[And she knows she isn't the only one who thinks it feels weird here.]
