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. ]

[Zulius's words offer a small bit of comfort. At least it's seen as affectionate by someone he truly idolizes.]

I. Thank you, sir.

[However this next bit of gossip he would much rather talk about ANYTHING else.]

If I memorized it, yes I could. I'm quite skilled at tracking and can pick out a specific scent from other civilians. [It's not weird! It's just dog things!]

It must be your imagination, Sir Zulius. I had not a pinch of salt in my tone when I spoke.

[bebest]

[ Zulius will always think so. He'll support his little self-made herd with everything his has in his whole stripey body! ]

You are SUPER welcome, Babe!

Is that so? That's a really impressive skill! So you could find ME anywhere too?

IDK, Honey. I felt it down in my bones. There was salt there, I'm sure. Deep, deep salt.

[ But he HAS had experience with bad exes, and he loves Lycaon a lot, so: ]

Did he treat you bad? I can abSOultely make his life The Worst if he did! You say the word and it's DONE.

Private halfway through

[paraselenic]

[Even though it's a text post, there's a high level of confidence in this next statement.]

Absolutely, sir. [His pride as a wolf rests on that.]

[Ah, but as for Zulius's question, he pauses for a minute before answering.]

No. Aside from his petulant jabs at me, he has not caused me any harm.

[Though harm did come to him because of his actions, Lycaon would never place Hugo at fault. It's complicated. After that, he quickly turns this private. If Zulius could see him now, his ears would be folded down slightly.]

He made a grave mistake in the past and he refuses to acknowledge it, and our partnership ended due to it. And now he states that I am the one who betrayed him.

In hindsight, perhaps I should have done more to prevent it. I should have seen the signs.

Private!

[bebest]

[ Zulius does seem to accept Lycaon at his word there. Had it been any different? Well, Zulius has ways to make people's lives absolutely miserable! Best not to cross him! ]

Good! He BETTER not have!

Ohhhhhhhhhhh boy. Do I know how THAT feels! My ex betrayed me too, and he totes gaslight me into thinking I was the bad guy. Some people are just the worst. Don't let yourself feel like you're the person who did wrong or you could've stopped him! Sometimes people just make terrible choices and expect the rest of us to, like, take the weight of that for them.

[ Zulius might be a teeny tiny bit biased in this area. A small bit. ]

[paraselenic]

[You're so kind, Zulius. It really warms his heart that there's someone who would have his back even if the situation had been that dire. He'll have to go shopping for a little gift for him later.

Wait a second.]

Sir Zulius. I'm afraid I may have caused confusion. Hugo and I aren't

We haven't

He is not my "ex".

[Oh god. He was so caught up in his explanation he didn't realize he just went along with that.]

[bebest]

[ Zulius will forever defend his loved ones! But he does love presents too so!

Anyway now he's squinting at the screen. He's squinting at it hard. ]

Sure, Jan.

[But he seems pretty sure about that, so Zulius will let him have it. For now. ]

But okay, if you say so. It sounds like you guys have a whooooole lot of bad blood, either way. So I gotchu - whatever you need with this guy, just lmk!

[paraselenic]

[Sorry if there's a pause, Zulius. He's doing a quick google search of 'Sure, Jan'. A 'meme' of a blonde young lady nodding her head as the subtitle text reads this phrase. Whatever the original context, it seems to imply that this 'Jan' has said something incredulous.

Ah, that clears it up.]

Thank you. Our relationship is quite...complicated, to say the least.

But I promise, he is not an active threat and I will be keeping an eye on him now that I know he is in the vicinity. He just has a warped view of justice, and sees himself as one who can cast the hammer of judgement.

[A pause.]

He knows where I work, so he may stop by. Please feel free to treat him like any other customer.

[See what he means by complicated?]

[bebest]

[Did you enjoy your meme education, Lycaon? Was it a fun time for you? ]

Ohhhhhhhh, yeah. I am DEF getting complicated vibes! The vibes are ALL over that!

Oh, booooo, one of those types. Well, so long as you're sure you have it handled. But if you need help you know where to find me, and you'd better ask for it!

[ Or else. ]

Oh, Honey. We both know that isn't gonna happen.

[ Zulius isn't even going to pretend he has the capacity to do that. ]

1/2

[paraselenic]

[A sigh of relief behind the phone. Thank you Zulius, you kind sir. The last thing he wants is to make this more complicated than it already is. He KNOWS he's worried him, so he'll do his best to not let him down.]

Thank you. Should I need it, I will rely on your help.

[He's not so foolish as to ignore any well-meaning hands extended out to him when the time came for it.]

2/2

[paraselenic]

[WAIT.]

Sir Zulius. I am willing to trade 16 hours of PTO for it. Do not even give him the time of day.

[NO NO NO. DAD PLEASE DON'T EMBARRASS HIM.]

[bebest]

Good, you better!!!

[ Silly, silly puppy. Dad knows things now. Dad has connected the dots and dad is gonna embarrass you SO MUCH. You won't be able to say anything about it, either, because it will be from a place of deep and endless love. ]

It's SO cute you think you can bargain with me. LOL.

[paraselenic]

No room for negotiation, it seems.

[..]

He tends to prefer sweet drinks. If he stops by.

[Annnnd we have reached the Acceptance part of the stages of grief!]

[bebest]

Not ever! I take no prisoners, Darling!

[ It's better for him that he reaches this sooner rather than later.]

Great! Sweet I can do! We can give him a nice fruity cocktail. Pun intended.

[paraselenic]

[Maybe he can preemptively imagine Hugo's judgemental face to prepare himself for the real thing. It's not like it's a hard thing to drum up in his head.]

Thank you in advance for being hospitable to him.

[bebest]

[ That might be the best for him. ]

Of COURSE! I'll be nothing BUT hospitable! I'm a great host!

[ And if he makes Lycaon even slightly sad while Zulius is watching he will end that man's entire social life! ]
