UN: Zodiac | Midmonth Post

[kaisoumods]

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Libra App
WHEN: February 14th
WHAT: Zodiac Network Post
WARNINGS: None!

[We've reached the second half of February. The weather has been slowly warming as we inch closer and closer to spring. While the red string issue is still happening, people with issues got a whole new thing to worry about - a roving spirit realm that grabs people and forces them to deal with the problems. Wonderful!

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.]



Amaimon, Gwendal, Arcueid, Jin Ling, and Inwa have joined the app. Say hi everyone!


Leon has left the app.

[The post then continues on as normal.]

Hello. Thank you for using the Libra App.

Hahaha great news Janet got stuck on the issues train. She sounded so pissed on the phone about it. What a great day.

Anyway yes we're aware of the Spirit Realm but no we can't tell you where you can locate it because it keeps moving. From our contacts in the inside (Janet, it's Janet), it sounds like its hoping to provide therapy or whatever. Don't think anyone will be in immediate danger unless they do something stupid. So try not to be stupid.

Anyway I got a date with my partner so I'm getting out of here. Happy Valentine's day.

Bye.

[This is in fact the first time anyone has even heard that Jarry has someone in his life, including the Zodiac workers]

Enjoy your time off, Janet!

Do you think if we bribe the train enough it'll keep her?

What kind of dumbass train tries to provide therapy to its passengers? I bet it's as expensive and unhelpful as regular therapy. No thanks, I'll just walk my dog and my jiujiu's dogs.

HELP THE STUPID FUCKING TRAIN FOUND ME

[A spirit realm that provides therapy, huh. As in... the people in aid won't so much need combat aid and more have to talk through their issues.

...]

Before anyone asks, my commission queue is full and I don't expect my schedule to clear up for the rest of the month.

This is what they call 'jinxing' it I believe.

[If he teases hard enough, no one will realize he, too, walked a dog and got on a train,]

There are things on this train trying to kill us, what do you mean your commission queue's full—

[orchidingold]

YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH ASSHOLE

Oh god I hope Sunny's okay I'm going to be so pissed if she's on this train.

[Sunny has made her way back home because she is Good Girl and knows where to find the uncles.]

[whiteshroud]

It's full. There are other matters in this city I must attend to. [like staying the hell out of the therapy train]

I've no doubt there are many accomplished fighters among the passengers. Should you need protection, you can surely seek their aid.

[Because seriously if he knows one thing about his fellow monster hunters, if that they're all deeply disturbed]

Constantly moving therapy sounds like a threat that I will not be getting near.

If you choose to take part while having student loans, I support your decision.

And we see a perfect example of instant karma!

[orchidingold]

What the hell are you talking about?! There's nothing in the city that's even half as batshit goddamn fucking insane as what's on this train! Right now! Trying to eat me!

[There's a clatter. On the other end of the line, Jin Ling shrieks:] You stay the hell away!!

[Then the sound of something being stabbed with a pocket knife over and over, before Jin Ling retrieves the phone again.]

This stupid fucking train isn't trying to help us, it wants us dead! Aren't you going to do something?!

[somewhere in the haze of winter eepies-]

there's a fucking train trying to steal my job???

[orchidingold]

When I get out of here I'm gonna KICK YOUR ASS

[blueeyeswhitedoppelganger]

[He's never been so glad that Tyst has regular experience with Monstor-Types.

Kaisou's regular dangers have nothing on that shit-]

If she didn't appear with you, why on earth would she appear elsewhere on the train?

Turn on the video feed.

[life_ethereal]

You'd have an easy time with how sickly and frail I am, guaranteed

[prunedworlds]

pretty sure with all the people here there's still plenty for you to do...

un: photocutie

[trailblazingspirit]

See, Mr. Jarry, I told you that you're cute! Somebody else agrees with me, if they're going out on a date with you!

[orchidingold]

[He turns it on.

He clearly stabbed a plant that happened to look terrifying enough to trigger a fight-or-flight instinct.]

See? [It didn't try to eat him, he just overreacted to something brushing too close to his ankle.] I told you!

[orchidingold]

Are you seriously telling me you're just a little guy???? Do you REALLY think that works???

[Yugo's message is simple: a plea for help.]

GET ME OFF THIS FUCKING TRAIN

PLEASE

I HAVE STUFF TO DO

ITS TRYING TO MAKE ME DO CROSSWORDS

[He's not smart enough for this!]

[orchidingold]

It's the Spirit Realm, isn't it? Weirder things have happened. But she's gotta be safe, what would a dog even need magic therapy for?

[life_ethereal]

I am just a little guy! I just get sick so often. Been that way since I was a kid!

[whiteshroud]

[For a moment, Jun had been concerned that Jin Ling's cries for help was real. That by refusing to take on a job, he was actually condemning what sounded like a child to death. The guilt was growing quickly, fueled by bad memories, as he wracked his brain trying to figure out what he could do. It's not like he knew where the gate was, so what if all he could do was advise?

But then....the video comes on and he sees that it was just a plant. A plant.

There's a pause. Jun has to mute his microphone for a moment so he can do the breathing exercises to calm himself for a moment. When he finally has stabilized himself enough to unmute himself, even through the modulated voice you can hear that he's not happy]

That's a fern. People keep those in their homes. You're not in danger.

[Yeah, Harumasa can see that Jin Ling has stepped on a landmine. So now he has to put on his big brother boots.]

And here we have two classics on display! Making mountains out of molehills, and also foot-in-mouth syndrome! Truly awe-inspiring.

[... But the kid seems genuinely freaked out, so he'll toss a freebie. Harumasa just has to really skirt around the price Apollo expects of him so that he can't be connected to Pythia.]

That Jarry guy said that you will be fine as long as you don't do something stupid. So, just stay on the train and listen to whatever it's trying to show you.
