Un: Zodiac | Mid-Month Update

[kaisoumods]

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 is still gusting, the temperature is closer to a chilly spring. 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 message and comment to it.]



Varka, Aria, Vani, and Yixuan have joined the app. Say hi everyone!


Jane D., Wei Wuxian, Vex'ahlia and Ivan have left the app.

Hello. Thank you for using the Libra App.

Happy White Day. Or Happy Pi Day. Or both. Whatever it is you celebrate, I was just told to send a holiday message even though it's a Saturday. And no, I don't have pie or chocolates for any of you.

Heads up, the Fae are in town and are planning something. They're insisting they are here to help. I don't know how they intend to help, but we'll find out soon enough. I'd say don't do anything to get yourself cursed, but you probably will anyway.

And okay, I've worked long enough to get paid for a full hour of overtime- so I'm off. Bye.

[As a quick note, the Event log shall be going up tomorrow!

Users will have the option to choose their own display names and user pics 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. Like always, there'll be no responses from Zodiac. ]

I don't feel like I was ever getting to.

[hotheaded]

now you're getting it

[Bakugou yOU TALKED TO HIM FIRST]

[nonsenseprince]

OK, Kacchan.

[hotheaded]

i'm gonna kill you
where are you

[Ah, we're back to this.]

[nonsenseprince]

No, thank you.

[hotheaded]

you don't get a choice nerd
you KNOW i'm gonna find you

[nonsenseprince]

Wouldn't that make you the stalker?

[hotheaded]

wOuLdNt ThAt MaKe YoU tHe StAlKeR
shut UP

[nonsenseprince]

... Hey, are you outside right now?

[hotheaded]

wouldn't you like to know

[The responses are suspiciously rooftop distance apart.]

action

[nonsenseprince]

[Hey Bakugou, suddenly you can hear Izuku in your ears. Lucky you, no one will be able to hear what the two of you are saying now.]

I've always wondered if this works. You're not midair, are you?

[It's Wind Call time.]

[hotheaded]

[Somewhere above the city, there is a living firework spinning in a very loud circle before landing on a rooftop and looking around like he's being haunted by the universe's most annoying ghost.]

What the fuck?!

[nonsenseprince]

Oh, it works! I can hear you!

[Unfortunately for you, Bakugou, the abuse he suffered in his other life doesn't have the same bite in this one. Which means Izuku isn't afraid to annoy you.]

[hotheaded]

[Fwip fwip fwip.

You just know he's whipping around like a dog that swears he just saw a squirrel.]

How are you-- DEKU!

[What the hell is this. What the hell is this.]

[nonsenseprince]

[c:]

It's a spell. I can set up a two-way "call" of sorts using the wind. Nobody can hear us.

[Let's see if Bakugou can logic out that this means Izuku is outside.]

1/2

[hotheaded]

[Mutter mutter, grumble grumble]

More of that magic shit.

[hotheaded]

[He is, however, going to pause at the edge of a roof, one foot up on the edge as he squints out over the city.

Hold up.

The wind?]

Who the hell said I wanted your damn voice in my ear?

[Izuku might be able to pick up on the sudden increase in explosions as Bakugou catapults himself up a little higher above the city, hovering there for a few seconds with repeated blasts, figuring out which way the wind is blowing over the city...

... before suddenly catapulting himself against it.

If this little shit is using the wind to carry his voice, it makes sense that it would have to be physically carried, right?]

[nonsenseprince]

[Oh, he's expecting this, a little bit. Bakugou is definitely looking for him. If he finds him at the Pokémon-friendly cafe he's hanging out at, well... good for him. Deku has two drinks on the table, and he's just settled in with snacks for his friends.]

I know you wouldn't, but I thought it'd be good to know. I can't do much magic, but I have this. If you need a truly private conversation, like if a threat or something shows up, we can talk like this.

[hotheaded]

[Honestly-- that makes Bakugou pause, landing on a rooftop and folding his arms over his chest, thinking.]

... useful. [A rare admittance, but... hero work is one of the only times he actually calms down and focuses.] Except it's probably something you have to start.

[He lets out a breath, annoyed but... oddly a little calmer.]

I guess magic explains how weak you were on the beach.

[nonsenseprince]

I do, but... there's probably a way we can work out how to tell me to start it long-distance.

[See? He's making progress!!!]

I'm not weak, just... inexperienced. I still stayed conscious through the fight. You beat me, you didn't kill me.

[hotheaded]

[Bakugou scoffs, squinting up at the sky and waiting to feel the direction of the wind by how it moves against his hair. Once he does, he's moving to the edge of the roof again, blasting himself back into the air and on his way.]

You were half dead at the start and you were still half dead at the end.

[He's going to pause again, a few rooftops over, waiting for the next message Deku is sending to him, to make sure the direction of the wind hasn't changed.]

Not my problem you don't know anything. Just makes you even worse than the annoying nerd from my world.

[He pauses.]

Didn't know there was something lower than Deku.

[nonsenseprince]

[Ahhh he's being an asshole again. Deku really had it rough, dealing with this, didn't he?]

Half dead isn't dead.

[That's all he's going to give him. A challenge to his insult.]

[hotheaded]

[Oddly enough, Bakugou isn't responding out loud to that just yet. Or maybe it's not that odd, considering the no doubt strangely familiar sound of approaching explosions is definitely audible even without Deku's magic carrying it to him.

Just a few seconds later, Bakugou's dropping out of the sky, startling a passerby into giving him a weird look before passing it off as odd teenager bullshit and moving on.

Either way, he's going to dust his hands off as he walks over the table Deku's set up at, eyes narrowed and lips curled into a sneer.]

S'not alive, either.

[nonsenseprince]

[Deku braces at the sound of the explosions, holding his Cleffa closer before the impact he's expecting. Even still, he jumps at the sound, blinking over at him and only relaxing as he gets up to the table.]

That means I'm in limbo, right?

[He's picking up one of those cups and holding it out. It's a hot chocolate... with chili.]

[hotheaded]

[His eyes shift to that... weird pink thing Deku's clinging to, his eyebrows pinching for a moment in honest confusion.

Things are so weird here. And it's wigging him out just how used to it all the people of this world are. How everything can be so different for him, so new and absolutely nonsensical, but everyone else in this damn city is treating it all like second nature.

Bakugou's never felt at a loss like this before.

He's... struggling with it.]

... for now, yeah. [He'll take that hot chocolate, considering it for a moment before taking a sip, something almost akin to surprise flickering across his face as he blinks rapidly a few times at the slight spice mixing with the chocolate.

Huh.] While I'm figuring out what's wrong with you, at least.
