UN: Zodiac: March into March!

[kaisoumods]

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

[The start of March comes in like a lion, with strong wind gusts picking up and blowing through the city. In the sky, the spirit vein shifts to hues of greens with the occasional other color streaking by. 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 message and comment to it.]



Kinich has joined the app. Say hi everyone!


Frieren and Xie Lian have left the app.

[The post then continues on.]

Hello and thank you for using the Libra app.

Happy March everyone! First I want to clarify something that my coworker untruthfully stated last post: I was NOT on the train. The reason I was absent these past two weeks was due to a family emergency I simply could not miss. My mental health is perfectly fine and I would appreciate if my colleagues not spread false rumors.

[Janet was in fact on the train. Many of you saw her there. She had an ID badge on and everything. She was there the whole time]

Now, no need to linger on the past - let's look at the month ahead! With the coming of spring, the weather is looking so much nicer! However, do take care if you decide to go for a hike. There's been predictions from the seer department of increased spirit energy activity outside the city barrier this month. They aren't sure what the cause of this will be, but do be sure to take care! A lot of them have been singing though out of the blue, but maybe they've found it to be a new form of stress relief?

They do have some good news though! They said there'll be an increase in meteor showers this month, so keep your eyes out to the stars on clear nights! You don't want to miss that.

Oh, looks like that's all there are for announcements! Time for the ever popular icebreaker!



This post is sponsored by the Pokemon Cafe! Now open, come catch some friends with the first ever cafe made to cater to our Pokemon friends!

[Users will have the option to choose their own display names and userpics if they haven't already. If nothing is chosen, the app will use their real name and a quick photo taken of them from their camera's phone.

Characters who were stuck on the therapy train should now be back in town, rather they got off themselves or have been kicked off when the time expired. ]

You spent your birthday on the twice-damned train? We ought to fix that! I'll talk to Zulius, he'll throw something together.

YOU WERE ON THAT TRAIN FOR VALENTINE'S DAY AND YOUR BIRTHDAY?

Text: UN:hotgoss

OKAY SO I AM THROWING AN EMERGENCY BIRTHDAY PARTY TONIGHT.

Give me like. 2 hours. 3??? Maybe 3! I've GOT this, Sweetie!!

YOU WERE ON THE TRAIN FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY TOO???

Ah.
I haven't tried pokemon yet.
Is it only served at this cafe?

text: un: arise

[lowestclass]

Uh...
I don't think they serve actual Pokemon at that cafe.
It's more like. Pokemon-themed snacks and drink... and there's Pokemon hanging out there...

text

[prunedworlds]

usually if it's a cafe like that it means that's the theme, I don't think people even eat pokemon?

un: photocutie

[trailblazingspirit]

I love musicals!! I especially love all the cool costume designs people come up with, I would love to get onstage and be in a musical! I'd be the shiniest star onstage!

[prunedworlds]

Have you met Zulius yet? Because if you wanna do stuff like that you should totally talk to him!

[consonanter]

Somehow, you liking musicals isn't surprising. Are there any musicals you'd want to be a part of, if you had a choice?

un: badnews

[whitestonelives]

Ah, so it must've been a different office worker from Zodiac named Janet sporting a bob that I encountered on the train. Silly of me to mistake you for each other. Did you manage to resolve your family emergency quickly or did they have to kick you out before you could drag them further into the morass of your personality?

text: UN:idontcare

[jaxoff]

Maybe her family emergency was her being body snatched by an alien who took her on a therapy train trip. Obviously that's the ONLY reasonable explanation to what happened there. Poor Janet, she had a traumatic experience and we're accusing her of being on a therapy train instead of the very true body snatching experience she went through.

Welcome back from the therapy train everyone. I hope you had a positive and productive experience.

[Probably not. But. eh]

I'm pretty indifferent to musicals, but that Pokemon cafe sounds like it could be cute. I might have to check it out sometime.

un: captainkenway

[jackdawvision]

Eh, it wasn't great, but it wasn't so bad. I found the dog car and spent a good deal of time there.

There's a what now? Does it work like a cat cafe?

[greatlydares]

hey, soooo, I hear people have been getting Bangboo recently?? The little bunny-shaped robots? That's great! If they ever start acting weird, though, bring them over to Random Play, I'll see what's up with them. I've got some experience doing Bangboo repairs.

text: un: The Duke

[loupmorque]

Oh, is that what they're called? 'Bangboo'?

I've had one for months, he's quite useful to have around. He can do things like making tea and sorting paperwork. I can't quite understand the language he uses, but he's got spirit.

[ attached is a photo of a bangboo that looks. very much like the duke himself, chains and little mini handcuffs and all. ]

[ornamentals]

Do you want to sing your 'feels'?

text: un: Mr.ColdFeet

[anyprice]

Meteor showers. Now doesn't that sound like fun. How about wishing on a dozen falling stars?
As does singing. I know *I* like Karaoke as a bit of stress relief. How about you guys~?

[ someone sounds to be in a good mood--or, at least, is trying to appear to be. ]

un: wilder | text

[wilder]

You sing Sammy?

[oneracetrackmind]

zero out of ten Would Not Recommend

[anyprice]

So you went on a train and got a ... passenger?

--Hehe.
Sorry. Sorry! I couldn't help it, low hanging fruit, you know, haha.

You okay, pal?

Awww, what a shame you couldn't stay longer, Jan~ We were having so much fun talking about you while you were gone and eating your secret chocolate stash in the bottom left drawer of your desk

text | un: volans

[aquilaconstellation]

No. If you have to burst out into song every time you have a relatively strong emotion, that's a bad coping mechanism and the sort of thing that leads to a therapy intervention.

[Like that train.]

text, un: eve

[playtag]

Hmm. I don't think all the singing is supposed to be taken literally.

[She thinks? She's still fairly new to musicals.]

And the train had very little of that outside specific cars.

text; un: DOINK!!!

[tonberrykin]

i am not normally the person to panic whatever's gonna happen is gonna happen im gonna be dead before im thirty but i keep turning into a fox and i am mildly freaking the fuck out

It happens here. I've several fox traits myself, so you'll be fine.

Ok so when the hell did Kaisou U suddenly end up in a tree??? Because yesterday when I was here asking after requirements for admission into next school year it was flat on the ground and I could find the admissions office okay but now where's the crappy office??

Ok.

Cool. Great. Does the heating up there still work at least??

Hey, uh, I don’t know who took my phone and downloaded this app, but this isn’t funny.

I’ve told you guys before—-my parents are really strict about the “no social media” thing. I don’t wanna have to move back home.

Also, is it just me, or is the college suddenly a tree? It definitely wasn’t a tree yesterday. They’ve gotta refund us at least part of our tuition for this, right?

[Since it's been ten years, Jun has a bad memory, and all Jun has to go off here is a user pic.... Jun does not recognize Luke (7) ]

If you aren't living with your parents, how would they know you have social media?

And... considering the school's been charging me for a recreation center I've never stepped into... no. They won't.

[ the video flicks on to a very distinct looking man. lavender skin, horns, darker purple hair, and a pair of eyes that for all intents and purposes look solid red. ]

Now what have we here? Some sort of gathering of like minded individuals? All drawn in by a terrible jingle design to slowly drive the hearer insane? Honestly, playing obnoxiously until I pressed the little flashing button is certainly one way to get my attention but there are much better ways.

Anyway! [ the chains on his horns jingle as he moves, expression bright and unbothered. ] A pleasure to meet you all, my name is Mollymauk Tealeaf and I'm oh so terribly new to this wonderful city. I'd be unimaginably greatful if someone can point me towards your most... [ a pause and Molly casts a glance at something off screen. ] Exciting isn't quite the word. I've been on the road for far too long and in a dire need of some relaxation.

video: un: hotgoss

[bebest]

Oooooooooooooooh look at YOU! I haven't seen anyone like you before! I love the horns!

[ Said without irony! You're a cutie patootie!! ]

Anyway, yeah kind of!!! That's the Zodiac app. One day it kind of just POPS on there and you're brought in on allllll the crazy that goes on in this city. Welcome, BTW!

[He gives a little bow to the screen. ]

MY gorgeous sell is Zulius. I run a theatre in the Entertainment District, we have a GREAT bar if you need to relax. Come by the Vogue anytime! First drink's on me, seen as you're new and all!

un: captainkenway

[jackdawvision]

So I may need some help because a Pokemon just showed up on my ship and I'm telling you I have no bloody clue where this one came from.

[Attached is a picture of a Suicune just...on the poop deck of the Jackdaw. Yarny's poking his little horned head up from her mane while Charles the Kingler is midway through prodding at her flank.]

Does anyone have a missing Pokemon because if not I'm calling it Caroline and bringing it home with me.

un: thedancer

[dancedwithplenty]

Oh hey, you too?

[Sends a selfie pic as she points to the corner. Over her shoulder, a floating Azelf can be seen staring at the screen curiously.]

This little fella suddenly showed up. Is this... what you call it, Pokemon?
