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]

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! ]

Well enough. Piltover has been a prosperous city for some three hundred years since it was founded. [never mind the rest of it, but that's probably not totally the fault of magic being forbidden.]

We call it Hextech, actually, but the principle is the same; machines powered by magic. But it is not something used for weaponry. [yeah about that] Its purpose is in devices meant to improve quality of life, nothing more or less.

He did; it's a small blue crystal marked with the rune for 'acceleration', worn in a wristband.

that's a surprise, i'm more used to it going badly.

was there anything in place to keep it that way? i don't doubt that you mean to develop hextech in a peaceful direction, i know very well magic and technology can work together that way. my past life just also had more experience than i'd like in fighting against it.

it doesn't do anything?

No one understands Hextech's function and process but its inventors--myself and my partner. [and the unhinged teenager that robbed them but that isn't the point right now] Neither of us will see it weaponized, I am certain of that.

As to his crystal, not really. I suppose that it could, if it were applied to something, but it is too significant to him for use in anything else.

[DM has a boyfriend back home? DM dates?]

ah. [You know what, he's happy for Viktor that the guy found someone who matches his freak.] sounds like a good guy, this partner of yours. tell me more about him?

[Meanwhile, the misunderstanding has flown clear over Viktor's head, because the word 'research' in 'research partner' is something he believes to be clearly implied.]

There is not much to tell--obviously I have not seen him in years. He's a brilliant scientist, although a little careless with his calculations now and then. The concept of Hextech was his own idea initially, I just collaborated with him on it.
illucesco: (that i'm a weathered stone)

[personal profile] illucesco 2025-03-21 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
so how'd he talk you into collaborating with him on hextech? sounds like it might've been something of a hard sell in your particular corner of the world.

He didn't; I did. It is a complex matter to explain without a clearer grasp of the situation between Piltover and her undercity of Zaun, but the short version is that I found his research intriguing after it had been confiscated by the Council.

Fortunately for him, I was assistant to the head of the Council in question. And happened to have the keys to get to said confiscated material.
