Un: Zodiac | Mid-Month Update

[kaisoumods]

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Libra App
WHEN: April 15th
WHAT: Zodiac Network Post
WARNINGS: None!

[We've reached the second half of April. On the edge of town, near the cottage- there is an increase notable drought going on. 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.]



Lio have joined the app. Say hi everyone!


Lyney has left the app.

Hello. Thank you for using the Libra App.

Heads up, we've been getting reports of water outside of town drying up and plants becoming withered unnaturally fast. They say it's being caused by a Spirit Realm gate that's influencing the envionment. And it's spreading. Pretty sure you guys already know about that... but if some of you Earth or Water folk want to help make sure all the crops don't die- probably should do that.

And no don't ask "why don't you do it". I don't have an element, I'm just a normal overworked guy. One that is clocking out now.

[As a quick note, the Event Log is still going strong, so please continue to tag it!

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. ]

Think I'll go with the Zodiac motto on this one, Jar-Bear: Not my circus, not my monkeys.

Season 384, though--Whoo boy, been WAITING for that one.

It kinda dipped in the middle of the last season what with the whole subplot about time travel where the deus ex machina was a clock being right twice a day. In the end it ended up being the thing that CAUSED the reason they had to time travel in the first place?

♪ ♫ ♪ TIME PARADOX, BABY! ♪ ♫ ♪

Seriously though, what a DRAG. A simple butterfly effect could've gone a long way. One little slip and the whole world could've devolved into chaos. But no...status quo, the usual, blah blahblah blah blah!

...Whoopsies, I guess that was spoilers.

[isdeceittaken is typing...]

or was it.

I swear to Aha if that was actually a spoiler I am going to take you and drop you into the middle of the pier.

[sophistrication]

Ah, tut tut. Sounds like someone didn't binge when they had the chance.

Guess that'll be a little surprise for you when you catch up.

do they do this every time someone arrives in town?

text; un: shepard

[earthborn]

Yep. It's a whole circus.

You kinda get used to it, after a while. Wait until you meet the Birthday Skeleton.

[Someone is very annoyed at the amount of very mundane and not exciting work he's had to do for these stupid, dying plants.]

Yeah.

We noticed.

voice; un: lycaon

[paraselenic]

Katsuki, has the Cottage been badly affected?

If you require assistance or water delivery, I can make it so.

voice | UN: Thorn

[poisontippedcure]

Do you need help?

This is a genuine offer, by the way—I know your powers don’t work well with water.

voice; un: eve

[playtag]

[The stupid dying plants keep you fed, bro.]

[Gonna focus on the situation at hand rather than his dance with danger (landlady). If Eve thinks too hard about Persephone minting folks, she'll get antsy.]

Do you need more ice?

un: hextechnician

[hexcrafter]

The best I can do is accelerate plant growth, so if that is of any help to you feel free to let me know.

[doublethumbsup]

ok kinda what lycaon said to Captain Capslock

but if u need water real bad lemme know too??
i can be there in like 2 seconds with one of those big gallon jug things
or more but that’ll take longer cause one is all I can carry


and no I’m not gonna use ocean water
u cant drink that I KNOW

text; un: lycaon

[paraselenic]

[He hopes that 'I know' is from common knowledge and not personal experience.]

I am afraid my hands are tied at the moment, but if its funds you need to purchase the water, I can lend my aid.

[not here]

[hotheaded]

[You know what? Game recognizes game. He can't even be mad about that.]

Text; un: Becksi

[motheringstream]

Let me know if you want some more hands.

I can carry a couple and I have a... well, lizardcycle that I can load up as well.

text; un: eve

[playtag]

Thank you

We could use some more water. Making the water ourselves is taking a while, and there's a lot of us. Plus the whole garden.

[She's including the menagerie with "us"]

[Alright, so he does know about seawater. Okay, good. She had been worried for a second there. Nevermind.]

told you assholes you should be more careful with water but nooo wolfwood you're crazy wolfwood we have fountains on every corner just because we can wolfwood you're so crazy and from space

who's laughin now

[ attached is a picture of the river next to Persephone's garden, completely dry. a bewildered Popplio has his nose pushed into the dried up silt.

a trio of Shoebills look downright murderous across the bank. ]

i aint doin shit if those birds decide to harvest people for liquid as a warning

but more seriously we're okay for now--me and the bosslady are keeping the greenery and animals healthy, and the magic pond in the teapot hasn't gone anywhere so we've been trying to corral the critters.

it's almost enough to make a guy Homesick.

[drewthetower]

let me know if you guys need help

perks to being able to talk to birds

text: un:kore

[aslowburn]

Yes, yes. You were right about the water. We will face this, however. It will not defeat our space.

...How attached are you to the boy? Would it be a hardship to chose another one?

IT CAN'T BE FOREVER RIGHT
I DON'T WANT TO RETURN TO THE DESERT

[playtag]

Thank goodness some of the animals were already in the teapot.

Do you think we found all of the chickens?

[There are so many.]

text; un: lightkeeper

[lanternae]

As of right now, I am still employed.

[The water in the harbor is safe.]

text; un: shepard

[earthborn]

If the damn ocean starts receding, more than just Kaisou is gonna take notice.

voice; un: antiva

[mmmleather]

Correct me if I am wrong... which, likely I am, given I am barely a mage.

Could we not close the gate causing the problem? Or is this one of those terrible "cannot be opened again once closed" sorts of magical gates?

voice; lycaon

[paraselenic]

A good question, but unfortunately that's not possible right now.

You see, a very important member to us all is trapped in that gate--Dan Heng to be specific. Closing it may jeopardize any chance people have of rescuing him.

For now, we must simply hold the line.
