WHO: March 7th and you! (and a cameo from Caleb.)
WHERE: network, Libra and Gemini!
WHEN: the 20th!
WHAT: BEHOLD, THE PROPHECIES HAVE BEEN GIVEN.
WARNINGS: mentions of spiders, some language.

[The camera feed opens on March, dressed in an utterly adorable coat, in front of a board that’s covered with what looks like old curtains. She’s wearing a pair of cat’s eye glasses that do absolutely nothing for her eyes except make her look cute, and she pushes them up the bridge of her nose. Rearranges the hat a bit to sit neater between her horns.]

Welcome to next month’s prophecy post, Libra! I know we have a few new people around, so hi, new people: every month, we seers talk about our visions or trances or tarot card readings or however we see the future, and we try to figure out what’s going to happen next month. So far we haven’t concretely figured anything out in advance, but having some idea what might happen is better than none. Anyway!

[She claps her hands together.]

Time for the prophecies~ [She pulls out her phone, and scrolls through the group chat.]

Grandma Cotton says that she tried to do something with red yarn, only, uh, “the ball would just unravel all over the living room!” Oh, I really hope it wasn’t too much of a mess.

Mx. Venti says, “The winds brought to me the sound of a train whistle for some reason.” Oh—like the Astral Express? If it shows up I have to show you guys my room!

Mx. Tarot Bailey did a card reading and got the Lovers, reversed. I thought it was cool at first, because anything about lovers has to be romantic, right? And then I got sent a picture of what was in the guidebook about it, and, uh, they said it’s about, hold on, “Disharmony, trust issues, imbalance, conflict, disconnection, lack of accountability, disunion, detachment.” [A beat. In the background, you can see Caleb rolling past on a chair.]

Jeez. That’s not very romantic, that’s just really sad.

Hoodie Guy—sorry, I didn’t get your name—sent me a picture of numbers in matcha powder! It’s funny, they were all in a series, like they were counting down.

Mr. Takame said something about a “Shaaloani,” but then I asked him what he meant and he was like, actually never mind, I saw this huge and super-hot desert all around me. I still don’t know what a Shaaloani is, does anybody have any idea? Google won’t tell me.

Mr. Wolfwood said, and I’m quoting him here, “it looked like the world's shittiest spider gave up on making a web after one strand.” Which is—I’m trying to think of what could possibly make a spider even worse now, and I’m coming up with…really gross pictures, yuck.

Caleb’s friend Ghilley said, [and she coughs before she does her absolute best to imitate Ghilley’s voice:] “It’s a song! You know, the song, with the 'word up everybody saaaay when you get the dah dah dah you get it underway word up bah bah code wooooord' and it was the band--you know, with the guy with the dreds and the beatboxing and in the music video the whole band got turned into these weird friggin' dogs and they were peein' on people and going to the world's saddest strip club and--are we gonna turn into ugly dogs? I don't want to be an ugly dog. What the hell is threatening about a song??” He says the lead singer is going to bring an army into Kaisou and we have to watch out for—uh, can someone tell me what a Hot Topic girlie, a Claire’s girlie, and a Forever21 girlie are?

…but I wouldn’t mind turning into a dog! I just don’t want to be an ugly dog, ew.

Ms. Ori got the same song! She says, “It’s called ‘Word Up’ but no there was another music video, and it looks like someone tried to use 3D Blender while high as hell,” and then she went ughhhh, the video doesn’t matter anyway. Well, actually she said, “the video doesn’t fucking matter,” but. Y’know. Maybe there’s a clue? And she and Ghilley were arguing with each other over whether we were going to be ugly dogs or someone’s beginner art project when I last checked. I’m kinda scared to check again.

Mr. Nito said, “I experienced much the same as Takame. Incidentally, were you aware that certain varieties of cacti are edible? Perhaps we will have the chance to grill some nopales in the midst of whatever is to come.” [Another long awkward beat. Caleb comes rolling past in the background again the other way.] What’s a nopales?

Anyway—Mr. Jinwoo says that his UI won’t close, and it has this number that can’t decide if it’s counting up or down. [Scratching her chin.] Maybe all our kitchen timers are going to break or something? Or we’re all in for really long waits at the train station, that too.

And here’s my prophecy! [March grabs hold of the curtain and yanks it off, to unveil a moodboard of photos of red string, all connected to each other with red string like a conspiracy board in a crime show. In the middle are the scrawled words “PEPE SILVIA”. March shrugs.] I don’t know who Pepe Silvia is. Trance me knows way more than conscious me, I think. Trance me also bought all the red yarn at the nearest craft store for this, so.

Anyway, that’s it for next month’s prophecies! If you’ll excuse me, I think I hear the creations doing something they really shouldn’t—

[Immediately after the prophecy post goes up, there's a response under an anonymous account known as Pythia.]

One to Two to Five to Three,
Each number deeply felt personally.
Higher is danger with safety in low,
Hundred to ten to nine to zero.

[... strange. And yet given what others have seen within the prophecies this month, this feels worthy of commenting on.]

Is this a prophecy? Something to do with the numbers that Jinwoo saw?

[bruh.]

I assume that I am correct? Have you acquired this ability recently?

[Or is this one of the new arrivals? That would narrow it down a little given that the Zodiac agent didn't seem the helpful sort, nor did the one who audaciously called himself "ultimatelifeform".]

"So... Basically something weird happening because next month has Valentine's Day?"

Didn't that basically always happen?

[And then it suddenly switches to a private filter for Takame on the Gemini app specifically.]

I was born with a very strong ability to see into the future

As a child I was trained in how to use this to even glimpse into the futures of individual people, but the way they used me was never for the betterment of others

I would prefer to remain anonymous to avoid those people

[And then she gets a private message from a different account. Harumasa's already met Dionysus and he might as well get it over with for the meeting with Persephone. It'll hurt now, but it'll be better in the long run if he just comes clean.]

Hi, how are you, my name's Harumasa and I don't really want any trouble or anything. Apollo's been... sharing my body, I suppose you could say, for almost 10 years.

Problem is that if Apollo uses me to talk to you, it could cause my illness to flare up and if it's cool with you, I'd like to just be a translator and not get caught in the middle of I don't know what's going on in the family.

[A direct message. Honestly all this did was give Takame more evidence as to who this might be. The other two seemed more direct, not to mention more inconsiderate.

But Takame was not a man to pry. If there was no ill intent and who he assumed to be Harumasa was willing to share this prophecy at all, he will respect that.]


Understood. I am among the seers of Kaisou and act as something of a point of contact for them. When you have your visions that may prove relevant to the coming month, send them to me privately and I will relay it to the rest of the group. I will continue to refer to you only as "Pythia" to them as well.

"Oh! It's basically like... romance? It's different here in America than in Japan, but both of them do lots of stuff with giving people you like chocolate and stuff. Last year here in Kaisou there was a whole spirit realm thing with helping out with Cupid's factory."

And related shenanigans.

[There's a pause for a moment before "Pythia" responds again.]

Please do not misunderstand, you have all been vouched for by people I trust

However, I am still building trust with you all

And right now I do not trust that you will not use me the same way they did

So if it is alright with you and the other seers, I would prefer to keep myself as independent as possible until I am ready

[personal profile] jaxoff 2025-01-19 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
No, not corn the terrible food. Korn the band? That's the one with the people-faced dogs in the strip club.

Are the seer posts always like this? I thought our guys were bad, but this is a whole new level of unhinged.
hoshikiri: (hakaze.)

[personal profile] hoshikiri 2025-01-19 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I understand. Take the time you require to gauge how you feel towards us. No one else will know of this conversation.

I see. So much like Dionysus, then.

[Uggggggh, so different from how they work in her world, but equally not different at all. She hates this, but she also doesn't want to drag an innocent person into the beef she has with her brother. ]

Luckily for you, there's little I want to talk to him about. The fact he's here at all is an annoyance to me, but that is beyond your control. You are simply a vessel for his pathetic self. No need to worry- having him living inside you would make anyone sick enough. I do not intend to add to that.
life_ethereal: (And he chained me to despair)

[personal profile] life_ethereal 2025-01-19 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Very similar, but also significantly different! It's like... he's become an unfortunately vital way for me to continue breathing nowadays.

But cool! Cool. Appreciate that! And it seems like I'm the perfect vessel given that I'm also equally pathetic~


[Harumasa, that's not funny.

And you're not the god of comedy!]


If it's uncomfortable for you to be around me, I'm more than happy to stay far out of your way.
