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 Vyne Byleth Firefly Alear
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.

That's how I planned to start. The fastest way to get myself killed would be to just run in. I'm not going to just sit and do nothing, but I know better.

I'll just have to see what progress I've made so far, and what I still need to do.

I don't have a weapon in the sense that I could hold it in my hand. At the same time, I'm not helpless either.

[He really ought to just look away, but...

He's never been good at keeping his head down. His reputation in his past life was proof enough of that.]


I have a forge with every kind of weapon you can think of, save for guns. You can try them out and see if anything calls to you.

I'll make sure you don't leave empty-handed.

[She kind of expected him to stop replying, considering how stubborn she was being about this. She's glad he didn't.

She has no idea why.]


I've only learned unarmed self-defense, so anything I know about using weapons is theory and visual reference at best.

[Acting fight scene choreography certainly didn't count when it came down to practical combat. But it was something.]

But if that's not a problem for you, I would like to go and give some a try.

I never took any classes, but I remembered how to use a sword after moving here. It might be the same for you.

My forge is in a place called Hyrule. Finding the forge isn't the problem. The portal to get there is on a floating island accessible only by a rope ladder, and you have to deal with the moogles asking you for favors. Tell them you're there to see me and they should leave you alone... mostly.

You aren't afraid of heights, are you?


[Consider this a test.]

I won't know until I try, but I kind of hope to remember something.

[Portal. Floating island. Excuse her this sounds magical. In a completely different way than she's used to, at least.]

Not at all. Heights tend to have the best views, and the most peace. This actually sounds like it could be a fun trip to take.

Though I guess the next thing to figure out is when.
unreachableside: (☾ heart of a child one final sigh)

[personal profile] unreachableside 2024-05-19 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe you will. Maybe you won't. Nothing is keeping you from picking up something new altogether, if that's what you want.

[Interesting. She's interesting.]

Evenings. You can text me before you go, and I'll meet you there.
vanescere: (Firefly014)

[personal profile] vanescere 2024-05-19 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
I guess we'll see when I get there. Maybe it'll be a little of both.

Does any specific day work best? I'm free tomorrow evening, but if that's too early I can figure something out later in the week.


[She may be a tiny bit excited about the idea of the trip there. And trying the weapons of course. But somehow mostly because something about this didn't feel like meeting a total stranger...]
unreachableside: yx; (☆ i will never forsake you)

[personal profile] unreachableside 2024-05-19 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
Not particularly. I have a desk job during the day, but this is what I really do.

[Making weapons in the twenty-first century doesn't put food on the table.]

[Forge and desk job don't sound like they go together, but sometimes you just need to do what you can to make a living. It was what started her tutoring after all.]

Well in that case, I can make my way there tomorrow evening if that works for you.

[This message comes a full couple minutes later when something dawns on her.]

I'm Faye, by the way. Easier to talk to someone when you know their name, I think.
unreachableside: (☾ i'll never be)

[personal profile] unreachableside 2024-05-19 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
Fine with me.

[... That's weird, did he forget to introduce himself?

He definitely must know her.]


Blade.

[Let's not debate who gets their name most misspelled on Starbucks coffee cups today.]

... Where are you from?
vanescere: (Firefly036)

[personal profile] vanescere 2024-05-19 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
Tomorrow it is, then.

[... if he goes by the name Blade, that at least explains why something felt so familiar about the username. The problem is that she still doesn't know why the familiarity is there.

Knowing his name now, it'll be nice to meet him properly tomorrow. Text could only go so far, really. The question catches her attention even more.]


Originally? I don't know. Starting around maybe two I was raised near here, so I guess that's as good an answer as any.

What about you?


[A question for a question is fair, right?]

[behold. no one has ever asked him this question.

... space china?

no...

this is hard.]
unreachableside: (☾ i don't wanna lock down)

[personal profile] unreachableside 2024-05-19 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
... Cincinnati?

I don't remember. I lost most of my memory over a year ago.
vanescere: (Firefly034)

[personal profile] vanescere 2024-05-19 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.. I'm sorry if I shouldn't have asked.

[It was certainly an interesting feeling, being concerned as she was about someone who should be a complete stranger.
unreachableside: yx; (☆ in this world you tried)

[personal profile] unreachableside 2024-05-19 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
[WAIT SHE'S UPSET ABORT ABORT ABORT]

...? You have nothing to apologize for. It's just a fact. It doesn't bother me anymore. Besides, I've started to remember some things.

Ultimately, forging your future is more important than chasing the past.

You'll understand when you start remembering things from your past life.
vanescere: (Firefly014)

[personal profile] vanescere 2024-05-19 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
It you're sure about that. It just seems to vary a lot between people if it's something that bothers them or not.

I have know that the future is a precious thing. But sometimes it takes going through a lot to learn that.

You're the second person who's mentioned past lives. Is that a common thing for people to have? And remember?
unreachableside: (☾ that shifted the maze)

[personal profile] unreachableside 2024-05-21 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
If it bothered me, you would know. [His anger is not a subtle thing.]

Yes. We are all reborn from different worlds after they ended. The strange part is that people who live here began to remember those past cycles. That is why Zodiac chose you to receive the app.

[He remembers being so indignant about it at first...]

You may receive other... 'gifts' from your past. Items, changes, powers you don't understand. You aren't the only one.

[personal profile] vanescere 2024-05-21 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a bit of time before she replies. She had to think about this information.]

I'll remember that, then.

Hearing about this explains a couple of changes I noticed sometime after I first saw the app. I had just wondered if it was some kind of magic I didn't know about yet. Maybe that's technically not too far off.

... is it disorienting? It's difficult to imagine having memories of an entirely different life.
unreachableside: (☾ reminds me again it's worth it all)

[personal profile] unreachableside 2024-05-21 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
[He infodumps in the most blunt way so this is not a surprise.]

Magic? Sometimes. My past life traveled through space. Technology and magic sometimes looked the same.

... It is. The people you know will ground you.
vanescere: (Firefly040)

[personal profile] vanescere 2024-05-21 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Something about how bluntly he writes feels familiar... odd...]

So I guess that old quote comparing technology to magic wasn't wrong, from the way your past life sounds.

[Traveling through space... it sounded like the dream of most kids when she was young.]

I'll try and keep that in mind, whenever it happens to me. I need to get used to not doing things alone, anyway.
unreachableside: (☾ once and forever bloom)

[personal profile] unreachableside 2024-05-21 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly. Still, don't ask me to explain the difference. It's contextual.

[High Elder nonsense? Aeon bullshit? Magic. A certain blacksmith making the sickest psychic swords known to the Xianzhou? Not magic. That's about the best he can do, really.]

People hate that here. I told everyone to leave me alone and it only made them do the opposite.

So I'm warning you. Don't try to do everything yourself, or they will suffocate you. Maybe even with rainbows.
