UN: Zodiac | Midmonth Post

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

[We've reached the second half of March. While the wind gusts are still blustering, the weather has now finally warmed up where once could safely describe it as spring. In fact, some green is even starting to sprout in areas. Long gone is the snow and ice, even if the nights are still chilly. And even better, the black hole on the edge of town has cleared up! Great!

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.]

Hello. Thank you for using the Libra App.

Why are there so many newbies this time? This gives me a bad feeling about the amount of overtime I'm going to need to do. Great.

Anyway, thanks for dealing with the Black Hole at the edge of town. Those weird gates are still around and the seers are getting increasingly frantic about the Fae coming- but at least ONE fire is out.

Speaking of the weird gates - we got information on those. Apparently the monsters in those are called Greed and they usually show up in places with a lot of bad stuff happens, but I guess the city and everyone's problems in this city has made that qualifier less important. Anyway, they like to show up when they sense a lot of strong negative emotions, so if you're going to break up with someone don't do it outside the barrier this month. I mean, unless you WANT them to get eaten by Greed...

EDIT: Because Janet can't identify a joke she's making me revise this- for legal reasons, Zodiac is not advising you have Greed eat your exes. Or coworkers. Happy?

But if you don't mind fighting monster and want to earn some quick cash, Zodiac will be happy to pay for any useful resources you find in the realm. Especially eggs, we'll pay top dollar for any eggs provided it won't hatch into a demon spawn. Not planning anything sinister, unless you count deviled eggs as such.

Bye.


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

[Users will have the option to choose their own display names and user pics 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. Like always, there'll be no responses from Zodiac. And as always, feel free to keep backtagging the event logs!

The mid-month event log will be posted tomorrow! ]

I think one kid did an' got cursed. [Or something, he doesn't deal with the asshole POKEGO brat.] Magical tech, man. It gets fucky.

[...fuck it. He switches to private]

Made it so it's a little more private, but that kid did make an app that ain't run by fuckin' capitalists. I can get one of the guys running it to get you and your brother a link to it, if you want, but no pressure.

[ OH THERES A PRIVATE FUNCTION
instantly fidelio feels less prickly about this thing, if conversations on it can be private... he'll fiddle with it for a second to figure out how to turn on and off the private filter before responding... ]


Capitalists, eh. I'm not sure what you mean by that, but if they're a bunch of assholes, then you're only too right that there should be an option to talk away from their pryin' eyes.

...
I bet they can read past the private filter.

....

You know Eunie, aye. Brother or some shite? Means I can probably trust you. Maybe.

Yeah, basically. We were both Order before it got, heh, forcibly reorganized last year, though she went to POKEGO. Gave her my last name when she left, since it's not like anyone else's got it. Might as well get a sister outta that shit, yeah?

[ he goes quiet as he considers the other person's words. he doesn't KNOW this ash, but. he's heard of the Order--mostly bad stuff, given his upbringing. the enemy and all that. but he knew that was just words of an order worse--Krusnik was unkind, but the Order had an iron grip too, didn't it? ]

Heard of this Order. Heard it was full of a bunch of powerful, self-righteous asshats using magic to manipulate the world.
You were a victim of it too, eh.

[Was he a victim.....?

...yeah. Yeah, he guesses he was.]


Yeah, buncha immortals. They're dead now, and the new Order's tryin' to fix its shit with fewer old people. [He snorts.] From one cult to another. Story of my fuckin' life.

How bad is your bleedin' luck??

About as bad as any kid who got shoved to Krusnik when he was three and then pulled into the Order when he was a young teen can be.

[ ...there's a not so soft intake of breath as the other uses the name 'Krusnik'.

No, don't react too violently. Calm down, Fidelio. ]

...You, then. Krusnik, and then the Black Order?
Usually those two don't get on. Like oil and water, really.

Yep. [He pops the "P"] My lab got raided by some crazy person an' I got out. Order got me a few years after that.

[Look, Jun, he respects your dad but. He's crazy.]

So my luck? Absolutely shit.

[It's better now but he is not jinxing it, okay?]

[personal profile] fidelkitty 2025-03-22 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ he considers his words for a moment. the pause is long, and bated, but. he gives a small sigh after a while. ]

Seems like we got that in common. The crazy person raidin' yer place, I mean.

We ain't unlucky enough to have gotten snatched up by the Order.

Then again.
I guess we were lucky enough that we got raided after the Order went under some sorta reform.

[personal profile] switchaxe 2025-03-22 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Zero, Ragna, which one of you two did it?]

...so you two just got outta there, huh? Reform only started last summer. Fuck.

Aye, that's right. Was a pale crazy lady with a scythe. She let us run 'cause we weren't about to fight against her for a group of shites we weren't loyal to.

Was about a month or two ago. We've been here and there between tryin' to find a place of our own. Met up with Eunie. She told us there were more bastards like us here.
switchaxe: (Flashback)

[personal profile] switchaxe 2025-03-22 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Well at least Zero's alive.]

She was right, an' I'm one of 'em. I'm not gonna try and, like, be all sympathetic or some shit, but if you or your brother need somethin' lemme know. Full disclosure, I am back with the Order because I wanna keep an eye on 'em and make sure they're actually doing shit right this time, but I don't get them involved unless it's fuckin' yokai again or something.

[Ash is laying it all out here because Eunie trusts these guys and he knows better than to hide anything from guys like this. That'll just piss them off later, and he does not want that. They deserve better.]
