UN: Zodiac | Happy July!

[kaisoumods]

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

[As June comes to an end, so comes the heavy rains and thunder that indicates the arrival of the water element month. You can't see the spirit vein through the thick clouds and deluge of water, but it's shifted into shades of blues. 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.]


Fidelio and Basilio have left the app.

[The post then continues on.]

Hello and thank you for using the Libra app.

Happy July everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful Pride season and a good summer so far! I myself had a wonderful month, as I decided to take some time off - which is the real reason for my absence! [It was not, she was in the office every day] All and all, I'd say it was a wonderful start to the summer!

Anyway, enough about me- time for some announcements! The Kaisou Anime Convention will be happening at the Civic Center this weekend! The convention will be taking place every weekend, and there will be several family friendly panels sponsored by Zodiac- so dress up like your favorite ninjas and animes and check it out!

Also, this friday please come check out the firework show in Blue Fish Park! Zodiac is one of the many sponsors and we're excited to light up the night sky for the holiday! Please don't let the weather forecasts of heavy downpours all weekend be enough to discourage you! You gotta try to think positive after all!

Well, that's all for now! Try to stay dry and have a wonderful week!

[Note, no matter how much positive thinking you do, the firework show will definitely be rained out]


This post is sponsored by the Papa's Omniria! Try out our special Starlight Spangled donuts today!

[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.

Please note that there will be no city log this month, with the next event log being posted on the 15th. As such, players are free to make their own posts and mingles regarding city events. If you want more details on what's happening the city this month, it can be found here.

If you haven't responded to AC, you still have until 11:59am EST today to do so! Once you do, you'll be removed from this post. ]

If I were I'd throw in some shite about being a ghost just for the hell of it. No, I really am from the 18th century. I skipped past the next two and ended up here.

Apparently it's a habit of the Spirit Vein.

[paraselenic]

[Well, he can't argue with that. As far as "wild stories about being hundreds of years old", he didn't throw anything haunted in there.]

My apologies for doubting you, Captain. This has been quite the plunge into the deep end of a pool, to put it in simple terms.

I must say..you look stunning for your age, my good man. I hope I've not disrespected you by referring to you so casually in the past.

[jackdawvision]

That's putting it lightly. If it helps, at least nothing's on fire around the city.

Hah, mate, don't worry! I've never stood on ceremony in my life and I'm not about to start now. Be as casual as you prefer around me, it's fine.

Anyway, if it helps, I'm not the oldest person on this app either. My ex wrote plays in Queen Elizabeth I's time and he looks like he's in his twenties.

[myriadeclipse]

Forgive me for jumping in out of nowhere.

Your ex wrote plays when?

1/3

[paraselenic]

Queen Elizabeth the First. I believe her reign lasted

2/3 action reaction

3/3

[paraselenic]

Hugo. [Derogatory.]

[myriadeclipse]

Good to see there is no fault in your memory, Lycaon.

I'm also aware of when Elizabeth the first's reign was. I'm also aware of whom the famous playwrite of the period was.

[paraselenic]

[Well well well. If it isn't the feelings he's been trying to avoid. How does Hugo come out of the gate so...]

My memory is as sterling as ever. Not all of us have the luxury of forgetting things.

[He hates how smug Hugo sounds through text. All that formality he'd displayed until now? Gone.]

Then why did you ask? Was it just to see my reaction?

[myriadeclipse]

I don't forget, either. Which is why I wasn't talking to you.

You can't play the fool with me, Lycaon. I know you understand leading questions.

[ Is he being smug? Maybe! Is it only getting worse? Certainly. ]

[paraselenic]

[Positives: His whole 'hot take' embarrassment is now a thing of the past.

Negatives: It's now replaced with PURE FRUSTRATION.]

Don't be coy with me.

You knew I would see it, or you would've taken this privately.

How long have you been here?

[myriadeclipse]

What? To hide in the shadows like a common criminal? Perish the thought.

I've been here long enough to know where you work and see you're doing well for yourself.

The Section 6 Marksman is the one who bid I grace the city with my presence. A pity he decided not to inform you.

[paraselenic]

As flashy as ever.

[He never liked to admit that Hugo was always one step ahead when it came to using his brain. Maybe even two. That was just how much of a genius the man could be. So he's not at all surprised he's been in Kaisou long enough to have kept tabs.]

I had a feeling that there was something just beyond my senses. You went to great lengths to mask your scent from me.

[And it seems Harumasa was aware of it as well. Hm.]

I'm sure he had his reasons. It was our first time speaking, after all.

[But he can't help but send the next message. The man may not be possessed by any god or spirit, but-]

Have you been taking care of yourself? Your face looks...paler.

[myriadeclipse]

Are you sure it isn't your imagination? Wanting to catch the scent so badly it's will even fake it for your pleasure?

[ Despite the flirtatious feeling of the last text, he doesn't let it stop him from the hard turn the next one goes. ]

Don't act like you're concerned. Neither of us have time for your shallow care. It's just a trick of the light.

[ Now he's the one who's annoyed. Does Lycaon have any idea how awkward it is that there is someone paying such close attention to his appearance and scent? Who does that? ]

[paraselenic]

[He would rather be shaved down than admit he has, in fact, kept his nose out for that scent. Lycaon's never been more glad this is a text-based conversation, because that may have caused him to lose hold of his words. Don't get flirtatious with him!]

I've never doubted my tracking skills. No matter how many years pass I could still catch it if you were in this city...provided you didn't mask it.

[Very normal things to say, Lycaon.]

Just because one of us broke their oath [That's you by the way.] does not mean I want you to neglect your health.

Spinach is a good source of iron.

[myriadeclipse]

I'm not masking anything. Find me if that's how you want to spend your evening. You can even give yourself a big pat on the back once you find me.

If you find me.

[ Oh, there it is again. He didn't even bring it up this time. ]

The only oath breakers around here I see are you. The same one who--[ announce it to everyone, why don't you! ]

I am not neglecting my health. My health is just fine. Perhaps you're the one who should seek medical care, or maybe therapy? You seem to love creating problems where there Aren't. Any.

Not Here

[burgersplease]

[Anby Internally]

[jackdawvision]

Queen Elizabeth I. And aye I mean the first one.

[myriadeclipse]

It couldn't be that playwrite, could it?

[jackdawvision]

Why don't you ask him yourself? He's on the post right now.

Oi, Venti.

UN: makeitaventi

[venti_late]

Diiiiid somebody call for Shakespeare~?

Not that I like being at my ex's beck and call, but I heard you mention me lil old me!

[myriadeclipse]

That... answers that rather succinctly.

[ He's going to have to sit with that a bit... ]

[jackdawvision]

He likes to keep an eye on the network.

Anyway welcome to the app as well. Hugo, aye?

[myriadeclipse]

Ah, yes, he did say that, didn't he?

Thank you for the welcome, Captain. I hope our mutual acquaintance has treated you well. I am Hugo and am new to the city as well as the app.

> private to venti

[jackdawvision]

You're the one keeping track of the post here, mate. All I did was use that to my advantage. You didn't need to respond at all.

[And then he'll set the filter to private:]

You're reading that too, right?? What they're having out up there??

I'm not even worried about the Southerners anymore tbh.
