un: zodiac | Happy November!

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

[On the night of Halloween, the night seems to grow progressively darker as the Spirit Vein shifts from hues of orange and amber to shades of purple and black. 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.]


Belle Yugo Zelos Roxas
Belle, Yugo, Zelos, and Roxas have joined the app. Say hi everyone!


[The post then continues on.]

Hello and thank you for using the Libra app.

Happy Halloween, to all the ghouls and goblins out there! We hope you're having a fantastic spooky holiday!

In other news, Zodiac is aware of that there is concern of a Spirit Realm related event similar to last year, and we're currently doing our best to monitor the situation. While we wish to avoid a panic, we'll be doing our best to be prepared. In the event of an emergency, we will be doing our best to fortify Undertown and Cathedral Hill. Barrier spells are also available at our office, should you wish to invest some for your own peace of mind.

That said, we haven't detected any of the yokai from last year in the city, so we are hoping it won't be a repeat of last year. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best- we like to say!

And with that, it's time for our icebreaker question!

I know, but it felt best to be thorough.

Believe me, the music one is necessary. I can tolerate a lot of Christmas music, but even I get tired of hearing certain carols if I have to hear them enough times.

I'm glad to hear it. As a gesture of good will, I will now show you the Christmas emojis:

Carol of the Bells and A Spaceman Came Travelling are my favorites.

I never really saw the appeal about using emoji before, I try to avoid it, but...

πŸŽ…

I like this one.
I'll use this one.

Oh good tastes! I remember singing Carol of the Bells in my church choir every year when I was a kid.

[There is something strange and yet so pure about this man's santa love. ]

Haha, glad you like it. Please, enjoy it! ヽ(*・ω・)οΎ‰

It takes a real set of pipes to get into some of the lines of that one, you've got props from me.

[ sometimes you're just a big quiet guy who finds {1} thing to be passionate about by accident and you don't try to fight it. ]

I will.
It turns out there's a different holiday before Christmas I wasn't aware of, though. Do you know if they allow bonfires on the beach near the harbour?
whiteshroud: (jun06)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2024-11-05 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks but I wouldn't say I was any good. I think they kept me around for as long as they did because I could hit the soprano notes better than most of the boys even after puberty....

[Because yeah. He knows how high his voice is. He knows]

Oh?
Yeah, I don't think that'll be an issue. People make bonfires there sometimes during the summer.
What holiday is it?
loupmorque: (Default)

[personal profile] loupmorque 2024-11-05 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Sometimes you fit into a niche noone else can fill. I'm not really knowledgeable about singing but, I'd be willing to bet my best pair of gauntlets that you're a damn better singer than me.

That aside, it's called Martinstag. Varian told me about it.

I love Christmas, but I'm not so insensitive to bowl over other holidays for the one I know the most about. So I'd like to make sure Varian gets to celebrate it properly before it gets lost in everything else.
whiteshroud: (jun112)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2024-11-05 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Jun pauses, considering if it'd be unethical to take that bet or not. ]

.... That's a tempting bet, but I should probably pass. I haven't sung in choir in a few years, so I'm very out of practice.

Varian huh?


[....]

You realize he's probably bringing it up to be ornery about Christmas right? Varian doesn't like most holidays.

No, I didn't realise that. I thought he was being entirely serious.

[ can you feel it
the dad-energy exuding waves of disappointment upon hearing this

he's a little disheartened?? ]
whiteshroud: (jun138)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2024-11-05 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
[He can feel it. Not that disappointed dad energy, it's suffocating. ]

I mean... that'd be my guess anyway. He's always complaining about Corona holiday traditions. Especially one with a gopher.

[...He can't take it, not the sad Dad]

But that doesn't mean we can't just celebrate Martinstag anyway! Maybe this one is different for Varian, and I know I'm always happy to experience new holidays.

This time of year is full of different holidays. Wouldn't you say taking the time to appreciate many of the is like sharing the Christmas spirit?
loupmorque: (45)

[personal profile] loupmorque 2024-11-19 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ still a little disappointed, the duke will press onwards, regardless. ]

I wouldn't want to push it on him if he truly isn't interested.

One doesn't have to take part in Christmas things either--I know there are plenty who don't celebrate it.

He mentioned baking the bread for the holiday though. So maybe we can celebrate it for him. If he decides he doesn't like it, We won't push for it again.
But it's fair to give other holidays attention too, I suppose.

I can't believe you sailed me down the river like this. The betrayal.

Do you WANT a hundred Christmas trees in the fortress before November is out? Because I'm heroically trying to hold Christmas back with this stupid lantern thing here to stop that from happening.

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2024-11-05 01:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[He sighs. Knew it.]

You betrayed yourself. You realize telling Wriothesley a holiday is important to you means you'll have to take part of its CELEBRATIONS, right? You'll be front and center the whole time, with no means to escape socializing.

[No hiding in the basement this time!]

Ohhhh noooo, someone wants to decorate for the holiday about the God I serve a little early!
Do you really think I'm bothered by some Christmas trees?

Besides, for whatever reason, Christmas makes Wriothesley happy. For all he's been through and does for us, don't you think he deserves happiness?
droptheious: (Monster to please you)

[personal profile] droptheious 2024-11-05 01:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Not if i suddenly and tragically come down with the flu, I won't.

Jun. Honey. Do you think Wriothesley is doing this for your God? He's not even from here. He probably thinks the God of Christmas is Santa. And it's not a little early, it's one month, three weeks and 3 days early. It already takes over all of December. It can't have November, too.

Ugggghhhh stop appealing to my better nature. That's cheating and unfair. Why can't I be crochety about this?
whiteshroud: (considering)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2024-11-05 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
You know, I bet Josuke can get you a flu shot, because it'd really suck if you got that. I mean we'd have to sleep in separate beds the entire two weeks you're sick, because I can't risk getting sick with Christmas coming.

So? That doesn't matter. Lots of non-Christians celebrate Christmas. The Lord isn't going to turn people away from the holiday cheer.

Because this is a man who lets you have your own robot army to mess around with? Don't you think you owe him a LITTLE?
droptheious: (Say I shouldn't kill you yet)

[personal profile] droptheious 2024-11-05 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Rude. You know how much I advocate for having your shots. Also do you think I wouldn't run that gambit? It means YOU have to sleep in your own separate bed too. Could you cope with that? Could you cope with that on your birthday?

[No birthday sex, Jun! None! ]

And we love and appreciate Him for that, I'm sure. It doesn't change the fact it's too early, though. I mean, you hear about birthday weeks, but birthday two months? C'mon.

Look. LOOK. I can owe him this IN DECEMBER. That's fair and normal. It just doesn't need to be literally the first day in November. He keeps this concentrated in the correct month? I will not complain.

Out loud.

Because of the robot army.

And the free rent.


...And I guess because he's a really nice guy who deserves nice things.


whiteshroud: (jun112)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2024-11-05 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course I could cope, it wouldn't be the first time my birthday didn't get celebrated. I have years of experience with that. I could spend my birthday night attending Midnight Mass, while you rest in bed alone with your thoughts about how your own actions led you to this outcome.

It'd be too bad though, I was looking forward to that birthday cake....


[Ruthless]

C'mon Varian, it's just a few early decorations to make the Duke happy. Surely that's better than pretending you're invested in Martinstag for the rest of our long lives.
droptheious: (Maybe you should stay)

[personal profile] droptheious 2024-11-05 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Fuck. ]

...You are soul crushingly good at this. You monster. Well played. I hope you're pleased with yourself. I've put a lot of planning and effort into you birthday already, I don't want that to go to waste.

...I realise now that he's also got an extended life span. I don't think I can commit to this for that long.

Fiiiine. I'll learn to live with them. Happy?
whiteshroud: (jun77)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2024-11-05 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, don't bring a knife to a gunfight, Var. Selflessness is one of the key tenets of being a Seal Knight. [He got himself stabbed to have Teresa dealt with, a birthday is nothing] That's really sweet though.

Mm, at least I think he might- he's got an energy reading that's not human. I don't think he's noticed it yet himself though. Not sure we should tell him or not.

Very happy. In return, I won't put any Christmas decorations up in my room until December 1st. Sound fair?
droptheious: (Inside my golden submarine)

[personal profile] droptheious 2024-11-05 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
YEAH, yeah. You're a terrifying and adorable force that shouldn't be meddled with. I know. [And this is why Varian Never Wins.] You have NO idea. But you will.

Yeah, normally, I'd say we should tell him in case he starts a relationship with someone he's blatantly gonna outlive, because it's only fair. But given who he's dating, I don't think that's gonna be an issue.

Deal. Im probably gonna have to live with this holiday too. I don't wanna make The Duke sad. It'd be like kicking a puppy.
whiteshroud: (jun130)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2024-11-05 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
And don't you forget it! (Β΄β–½`Κƒβ™‘Ζͺ)

Mm, that's what I'm thinking. I wouldn't know what I'd really say to him anyway to make it go easier.


[He's many things, but emotionally intelligent he is not]

Yeah, that's called consequences for your actions. It could be fun though! I've never done Martinstag before.
droptheious: (Now the whole class does too)

[personal profile] droptheious 2024-11-05 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I doubt you're ever gonna let me! :)

Yeah, I don't think there's any gentle way you can put "by the way, you're stuck with this for an undetermined about of time but definitely longer than a human being should exist for" - like that will be rough for anyone to digest.


[ Varian's slightly better at it, but probably not enough for THIS. ]

I don't like them. But as holidays go, this one isn't actually that bad. There's a lantern parade and then everyone gathers around a bonfire and eats food. It's pretty minimal in the social expectations, really.
whiteshroud: (umm)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2024-11-05 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
No kidding. I feel like I've only started coming to terms with it myself recently. Before I was doing my absolute best not to think about it.

[He never wanted immortality. He's seen what it can do to people. Only the idea that he had someone there with him did it make him not spurn it away entirely]

That sounds pretty nice actually. We could enjoy the bonfire and then slip away when we have our fill of the party.
droptheious: (One day they woke me up)

[personal profile] droptheious 2024-11-05 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it was a hard pill to swallow. I mean, mine also had the added "you're literally trapped in this one place forever and can never go back to your world of origin again!" to it which... admittedly is what stuck with me a lot more. That took a while to accept.

[ It was getting a family and a life here he didn't want to lose that made that all... much easier to live with. ]

See? And it's at night, so a lot harder to see people when they do decide to just slip away. I picked a not-awful one if we're gonna be stuck with it.
whiteshroud: (jun138)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2024-11-05 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry, that is a lot to deal with. If you could, would you want to go back still?

[He get it, if Varian still felt that way. It's not easy to let go of home.]

That's very clever of you.
