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.

[CHRIST. Of course he chooses NOW to show himself. ]

What did you send him Haru.

[HE'S MAKING PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE SMILEYS AT ME WHAT DID YOU SEND]

[life_ethereal]

I am! Just not by blood. We might as well be, though, with how similar the two of us are. I've got some other siblings I'm not blood related to, too~ I'll talk about them another time. This is Jun Time right now.

[Oh, Harumasa's so proud of himself for this one. Not sending Lycaon a picture of Jun in his wolf form is ALREADY paying off handsomely.]

A picture of you, of course!

[paraselenic]

Adoptive siblings...truly a wonderful bond to have.

[From what he knows of Harumasa, and...as the kids say 'from vibes', he feels like his prosthetic leg is being pulled.]

Mr. Harumasa sent a picture of a green fennec fox stating that to be your wolf form.

[whiteshroud]

Yes. It's very wonderful.

[He wants to throw Haru in the harbor He wants to throw Haru in the Harbor He wants to throw Haru in the harbor-]

That's not my wolf form.

[.... fuck he does not have pictures of his wolf form to dispute this]

[life_ethereal]

I'm so glad we all agree with that!

[He can feel the murderous intent over here and that's why he's staying at the lighthouse for a little while.]

Ohhhhh, your wolf form? I just sent the last cute thing on my phone of you~ Hang on, let me correct the mistake!

[Harumasa keeps it public as he sends a photo of Jun in his actual wolf form asleep. A white wolf with green streaks in his fur... But... That's something on his head: a wig of some kind.]

[paraselenic]

[Well at least it's a wolf this time.]

Mr. Jun. Is Mr. Harumasa bullying you.

[He IS joking, but the delivery of the text is so flat you have to wonder. Maybe you should add an 'lol' at the end like millennials do, Lycaon.]

[whiteshroud]

[.......................]

Is that what you do to me when I sleep on your couch?

[WHERE DID YOU EVEN GET A COSTUME LIKE THAT SIR. ]

Yes, yes he is Mr. Lycaon. My big brother is a total bully. When you come to the fortress, do not pet the white tiger that begs for pets. He does not deserve them.

[Is he joking? Yes. But this is what brothers do]

[life_ethereal]

[Hey hey HEY HEY HEY UNCALLED FOR]

I'm pretty sure you do the same thing to me! You and your fiance are just as much bullies to me, none of us are free from this sin!

[This is CRUELTY to tigers!!!]

Lycaon, don't listen to Jun. When I first got here, they immediately started bullying me and it hasn't stopped since!

[paraselenic]

[Time to play along with this.]

I would happily give you exclusive attention, Mr. Jun and your brother can simply watch.

[We learn not to trick the big dog Harumasa.]

[whiteshroud]

I have no idea what you're talking about, Haru. I'd never bully you.

[He says as he actively bullies him. And ohhh he's grinning. He's grinning so much]

Really? Thank you, Mr. Lycaon! That is so kind of you. He usually hogs all the pets.

[life_ethereal]

That's so false I'm shocked you can say that without being struck by lightning.

[NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!]

What do you MEAN?! Lighter pets you guys all the time!!!

[paraselenic]

You are quite welcome. Usually the louder siblings are the ones most attention hungry and the quieter ones are cast aside.

We will remedy that.

[He is not even acknowledging Harumasa. That's ice types for ya.]

[whiteshroud]

Ah... it's true. He is rather loud....

[That's right, also ignoring Harumasa on purpose. He's going to get sat on by a tiger but worth it]

Thank you, Mr. Lycaon. You are a just and generous person.

[life_ethereal]

Oh my god.

[That's it. Harumasa puts his phone down. And then he transforms into a tiger to lay on Jun. Then he's going to fight for the phone. Lycaon might get an interesting string of characters, but Harumasa will ultimately let Jun keep the phone.]

[Brb experiencing technical difficulties due to tiger]

[paraselenic]

...

[All he sees on his screen is POADFSD;LKAD;LKTWEDVPOIwr'oijgebfDFAlkrgIJOERG]]34_))(A;K;LGAPOIEAFrf'bpj]

Mr. Harumasa. I do believe your weight could break the phone and also your brother's bone structure.

[Yeah he can assume what happened.]

[whiteshroud]

[There's a pause as Jun struggles against the tiger for the phone. It's quite an epic battle, but ultimately he manages to yank his phone back.

He can't do shit about the tiger on his lap, that thing weighs more than Jun can actually lift. He'll type one handed as he gives pets with his other hand that the tiger is clearly demanding as penance. ]

It's fine. My bones are pretty hard to break.

He's without thumbs now so he won't be responding anymore.

privating this from Harumasa

[paraselenic]

[He's truly sorry you had to take the (literal) fall for him, Jun.]

So he is throwing a tantrum after all.

As long as you are alright in the end.

[Though, him being preoccupied as a tiger does give him the chance. He'll just private this for a second.]

If you don't mind, Mr. Jun, I was hoping you could help me regarding your brother. His birthday is approaching and I would like to make him something. Do you happen to know his food preferences? Simple taste profiles are enough.

Private forever!

[whiteshroud]

[Oh a filter change? Well he'll go along with it and mark his own as private]

It's fine, he's never being serious when he gets like this. His teasing aside, he's a great brother.

[Jun can admit that much. He rather Lycaon doesn't get the wrong impression about what Jun fully understood to be harmless sibling antics.]

Wow, I'm surprised you knew his birthday was coming, considering you just joined the app.

Haru likes bitter things, like coffee and bitter melon, while he's not very fond of sweets. He also really likes trying new things- the weirder, the better. Though he's got a number of dietary restrictions- I have them saved in my notes app, I can send that to you.

[paraselenic]

Do not worry, I completely understand. I had a similar attitude towards someone. In fact, if you can believe it, I was the one doing what Mr. Harumasa is doing right now.

[He has won an argument by weighing more/being bigger, and in his opinion, its a legitimate strategy.]

I knew this app recorded birthdays, as it had prompted me to enter my own, but with Mr. Harumasa and I being from the same 'life', as he's told me, I idly checked his profile for clues about my past. I may have simply just recorded his birthday as well.

Bitter is an easy flavour profile to work with, I appreciate it very kindly.

And his dietary restrictions would be very helpful to me as well. I would hate to give him something he wasn't able to stomach.

[whiteshroud]

You did? So you have a sibling?

[No not like that Jun, he's not a trails character]

Ohh, I see. That makes a lot of sense. Still, that's very thoughtful of you considering you just met in this lifetime.

It's no trouble, I'll send it right now. [And he does so! It's a good sized list, Lycaon might notice it's typical restrictions you'd find among folks taking various medications]

Oh, and may I request one thing? It's not related to Haru.

[paraselenic]

I wouldn't call him a sibling, no. [He can't exactly say 'friend' with Hugo still here. That'd be awkward down the line. But what else does that leave?] He was more like a close coworker.

[He smiles seeing the list come through. Now he can start making preparations. He's glad he asked, honestly...He wasn't aware Harumasa had any medical conditions. ...The list is a lot more extensive than he thought. He'll have to really parse through it later.]

It's nothing, really. He's been a great help to me so far, and has actually helped me trigger a small part of my memory, so I would like to thank him for that.

[Oh?]

Of course, anything within my power I would be happy to do.

1/3

[whiteshroud]

Oh, it's nothing much really. It's just I'm non-binary and I'm only 21, so being called "Mr. Jun" feels a little unnecessary. You can just call me Jun, I don't mind!

2/3

[whiteshroud]

[With that out of the way... he takes in the rest of the comment. And blinks. Nani da fuck]

ACTION, TO HARU 3/3

[whiteshroud]

[Jun lowers his phone, glancing at the tiger that is still sitting on him]

Hey Haru, what does Lycaon mean when he says he had a close coworker that he'd sit on?
