[It had been snowing over the weekend, leaving a fresh coat of snow on the ground. But at night,t he sky clears up and as the month shifts into December, the the darkness of the night gives way to a brilliant lightshow in the sky as the Light element takes hole of the Spirit Vein. 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.]



Lan Wangji, and Jiang Wanyin have joined the app. Say hi everyone!

[The post then continues on.]

you'll never know until someone asks you!

God fucking forbid.

[prunedworlds]

... fair.

I've gotten healing magic since I came here, and I think it's pretty strong? So if there's trouble I can probably help out.

[ if she had her way he wouldn't be going anywhere, but alas. ]

Good boy. [ there is a heat to her words, a promise of later weaved into them. ] Love you too, darling. Say hello Jill for me.

I got swords now, I'm in.

"What is criss mass?"

Though if anything, those warnings seemed to be having the opposite of the intended effect.

no, and I would never put you in a position you were uncomfortable with, but most gods would see that as a high-ranking position's duty

dw, I'll teach you about wedding etiquette and some of the finer details if/when we get there! as it is, it's enough for you to know that you can officiate at weddings under my name. plus... well some people's family/friends REALLY be audacious out there for no good reason

they make you look softer! granted, I've never been scared of you and you can DEF attest to that LMAO, but it's hard to be scared by a tall goth man with dog ears. imo you're just a big softy with a defense mechanism you haven't disengaged yet, but you're getting there. you're more approachable nowadays than you were back when you first came here and that's progress you should take pride in!

[faenthras]

Isn't he just? The gods must truly love him to not only land me in this life but in the last as well.

[venti_late]

hehe! ✨💖✨

Oh, I can answer this one. Mistletoe has been known in several cultures throughout history as a sacred symbol of protection, fertility, and love--most likely that concept got passed down through a millenia-old game of telephone and wound up as what we have today.

[fouren]

Isn't that [ the guy who called him babygirl??? oh god. ] No thanks.

... that's stupid.

[killerapp]

thats Kaisou. honestly Santa probably just likes the variety or something.

text; un: captainkenway

[jackdawvision]

[Just looking at the raid strats for a moment before he texts:]

You could just sneak up on him and knock him out that way. That’s what I plan to do.

[fouren]

No I'm not.

Really? You? Yeah right. [ bitch who do you think you're talking too? ]

You don't count, I'll kick your ass whenever it's needed.

[fouren]

Guess it's unsurprising he's as insane as the rest of you lot.

[thavnairian]

actually

I used to do that?

sneak around and... all of that...

i don't do it anymore for

uh

reasons

[conseqweinces]

yes you are.

and yes of course me! i've never left the nice list in my entire life and am just the easiest person to be around, ask anyone from POKEGO [they'll confirm what jiang cheng already knew]

that's not very nice list of jiang cheng to say (◕‿◕)

[jackdawvision]

[…yeah, Edward can make a good guess what those reasons are, being currently a professional killer himself. But he’s not about to start questioning Amal in public, so:]

Oh, good, that means my strategy’s still fresh if you’re not using it. He’ll not see me coming.

[sg09r]

Uh. Okay. [You know what, this might not count as one of his weirdest moments, but it’s certainly up there. Leon massages his temples.] It’s—uh, a holiday. One of the biggest holidays of the year, centered around giving gifts to your loved ones. Originally it was a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ—don’t ask me about that, there are people more qualified to answer that on this app than me—but these days it’s really just…giving gifts to people you love.

[Which reminds him he has to frantically buy so much shit.]

A true warrior would also know when a fight is more than he can handle, and if an opponent who is holding back can still knock you out of the ring, it’s definitely more than you can handle. [Also he’s pretty sure Santa would feel bad.]

[Teacher voice:]

Knuckles. Do as Leon says.

[ampersand_me]

The angry look of sheer betrayal on this kid's face right now.

"Are there not many others intending to fight?"

Why did he have to miss out on the fun??

[ampersand_me]

"And Santa is the... mascot, because he also gives gifts?"

Sometimes, Knuckles is able to put two and two together.

Also, luckily(?) for Leon, his indignation at being told to sit out another fight had found a new, different target now.

[hoshikiri]

Even they are being advised that taking on this battle is a fool's errand. Those who insist are grown and aware that they'll not win or so much as land a single blow as evidenced by encounters in the past.

Please answer this: Are you willing to go into an encounter prepared to fail in the time between seconds? There are but two answers. Yes or no.

[He's seen that look on every student he disarmed one handed when they think they're hot shit, try again. Santa-san is like ten thousand ultimate life forms in one bud.]

[illucesco]

one time you raised a bunch of skeletons in full view of the town mayor and got us arrested.
