UN: Zodiac | Happy October!

[kaisoumods]

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

[The winds will die down as October rolls in. The sky itself is ablaze with the spirit vein taking on shades of orange and golden browns as the Earth element comes into play. 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.]



Jon has joined the app. Say hi everyone!


Gwendal and Jonathan have left the app.

[The post then continues on.]

Hello and thank you for using the Libra app.

Happy October everyone! We're finally in the Halloween season! Oh isn't this a special time of year? We hope that you have a safe and wonderful spooky season this month! Zodiac ourselves will be hosting a Haunted House event in Undertown, it's scary fun for the whole family so please check it out! Also The Pokemon Contest Hall will be hosting a Pokemon Costume contest, so be sure to dress your little friends in the best costumes and take lots of pictures!

Oh, and a final warning - with this time of year, it's been well documented that the barrier between our world and the Spirit Realm does start to thin. This means there tends to be a teensy tiny side effect of normal people being able to perceive the paranormal for what it actually is- so do take care when you're going out and about this month! Don't worry, it will go back to normal as we move into November, assuming we don't face any city-wide threats again this year due to the effect as we have in years previous.

Not that I think something like that will happen this year! Let's just try to think positively, okay?

That's all for now! Finally, our ever popular icebreaker question:


This post is sponsored by Mayfield Real Estate! Now building the ideal neighborhood two miles outside the barrier! Enjoy true 1950's suburban life!

[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.

As of now, Normal NPCs will be able perceive the paranormal. As in they will realize you're not wearing a fur suit and you stopped dying your hair- and now they have questions and concerns. Enjoy!

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. ]

Hi everyone.

[It's lost over text, but his tone is dripping in sass.]

Are they really this peppy and positive-thinking usually?

[threebetrayals]

This one is. There's one usually in the middle of the month that's way more tolerable. I'm pretty sure this one is just AI.

[thewarriorqueen]

It's pretty much always this annoying, yes.

Welcome, I guess?

Are you expecting me to say 'the moon'?

[Honestly. The microagressions!]

The thinning of the barrier poses a bit of a problem for me. The average citizen is not likely to respond well to a large bipedal wolf in their vicinity.

Perhaps I should keep a low profile, lest I want pitchforks in my back.

Knowing who probably penned this, they're probably expecting innuendos....

But I can see why your appearance would be a problem. Would you like to stay in the fortress this month? We got a guest bedroom in the Alley you can stay in that's already furnished.

Sometimes people will believe you if you tell them it's just a really good costume, but yeah if you don't have illusions or something it's good to be careful.

At least since it's getting colder out people won't think it's weird if you wear a coat and hood and stuff though?

And what a waste of a fine, muscled back that would be!

If you are so worried, perhaps I can assist in keeping my eyes on it? As well as the rest of you, of course.

If you need help getting to and from places with minimal having to deal with people, I can bring people along with me when I teleport, if you think that'd help.

i'd rather you didn't have any pitchforks in your back snowdrop
probably should do something similar myself not sure if the building owner is a catholic or something
wouldn't wanna be chased out of my own place for being a servant of the devil

[ The message comes some time after, like he wasn't originally going to say anything at all. ]

If it's going to be safer for you in the Fortress, then you should do it.

[tonberrykin]

okay were-being microaggressions in front of my salad I thought you figured it out after the Mother's Day fuckaround but whateverrrrrr

Stupid skeleton props. That's my Halloween thing. I put them everywhere. This is your only warning.

'Ourselves?' I don't remember seeing your name on the schedule, Janet. But by all means, please continue taking credit for the efforts of your coworkers. We all know the truth.

In the meantime, I'll be thinking of ways to make the haunted house more interesting~

[goodolrika]

We all knew she had no shame in taking credit for everyone else's efforts, but it's almost funny how readily she jumps on it.

i don't trust the neighborhood being built outside the barrier

[ Especially not in October. ]

the costume contest sounds cute though. maybe i can try making the costumes....

[burgersplease]

I don't either. The worst missions in Florida were always in the suburbs.

[mmmleather]

I cannot say that I know what “Halloween” is, but what I can is that generally I am the one making others howl.

[Aaaaaand now he’s laughing at his own innuendo. Good job buddy.]

[consonanter]

Ah. That would explain why people asked me if I was part of a dress rehearsal for a nearby church play. The halo and the wings do tend to stick out this time of the year.

"This is unacceptable! Am I to be expected to simply... hide away for weeks at a time? Are the people of this planet so weak-willed that they have only fear for what stands before them? I refuse to be forced into hiding!"

Apparently someone didn't much like being cooped up for a month last year.

Re: video

[loupmorque]

He... can't really blame Knuckles for feeling upset. There are a few people 'hiding away' during the month due to their appearance and even Wriothesley--who looks like a pretty ordinary guy, even with his doglike ears. They hide pretty effectively in his hair, and his tail is short enough to hide behind his coat.

If he had to hide away...

He'd be pretty frustrated, too.

"If I'm honest, it's not that they're weak-willed. It's more that the existence of magic is simply a myth or a fantasy for them. Being faced with the reality is shocking to them, I think. I... don't like the idea of anyone feeling the need to 'hide away' for an entire month either."

...Hm.

"If you'd like, you can come stay at the fortress for the month. That way you don't have to hide away by yourself. We have a pretty bustling community down here, and you'd be free to walk around like everything's normal."

[Have you ever slept through even the most annoying sound for hours? Yeah. That's Harumasa right now. He's not having a good time.

But he fights through his unusual exhaustion to at least post and make his phone stop with the wind chimes. He likes wind chimes normally, but boy did Zodiac manage to pick the most annoying ones to use for their notification.]

Staying in the Fortress all month. Feel free to visit, though.

@ Maxima @ belleoftheboulevard sorry, won't be making any of my shifts.

UN: hikari-vi | Text

[whiteshroud]

[Outside his room in the common area, Haru can probably hear Jun let out a "thank God" as the wind chimes stop. He didn't want to disturb his brother from sleeping, but he was about 30 minutes away from teleporting in there and stopping the noise himself.

But he does see the message Haru left. They had discussed the possibility of Haru's health going bad this month, and well... seems it came true. Might as well send a quick message while Maxima's attention has been pinged]

@ Maxima, please mark me down as absent as well this month.

[wilder]

Damn, the whole month? But this is the time where you get to dress sluttiest and claim it's a costume!

[He can take a guess what it might be, but he won't actually point it out. Instead]

Fiiiiiine! It'll be a burden, but I'll take on the mantle of supplying Random Play with ample sex appeal by myself. No need to thank me, just forever remember my endless generosity!

"I agree, haunted houses serve no purpose!"

... Knuckles you're just too terrified of ghosts to go in them.
