UN: Zodiac | Midmonth Update

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

[We've reached the second half of May. Weirdly, it's been very quiet about that jungle competition mentioned at the start of the month. 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.]


Aarya Tighnari Fern
Aarya, Tighnari, and Fern have joined the app. Say hi everyone!


Hello. Thank you for using the Libra App.

In case you're wondering, the Jungle Jamboree Whatever got postponed. Apparently they had a grand prize lined up, but the person providing the prize got caught up in a controversy over a pun they made 5 years ago. So now they're all scrambling to get a new prize, since someone asked about it. Should be back next month. Maybe.

Also apparently one of you guys set fire to part of the jungle. Not surprised but stop that.

If you're itching that bad for a competition, the Pokemon Arena is holding battle tournaments this month. The prize is money or goods for your Pokemon. And if you want to go in the jungle that badly, I guess there's nothing stopping you from wandering in there on your own. I'm not liable if you get eaten.

[Oh wait, actually.]

So what, we're allowed to fight those weird animals?

I believe they were clear, there’s no reason to throw a tantrum.

And…no? I believe you are only allowed to fight those “weird animals” with your own “weird animals.”

[Considering his previous question on the post two weeks earlier was met with radio silence, Tighnari is dying from not-surprise.]

If there's any lesson to be learned from this endeavor, it's to always question when the prize isn't listed upfront.


As for the jungle, I'm offering my skills in Plant Healing to see if I can help it recover. Depending on when it happened, it might be too late, but someone apparently didn't get the memo that plants are flammable.

This was the first time anything was happening in this stupid place!!

[Look at him, brandishing a towel and cleaning spray while trying to yell out his rage. So angry. So scary.]

............. [Actually wait, hold on, he's back to being surprised.] Wait, do they all fight?! I thought that was just because that one was a damn luchador.

Katsuki.

Would you by any chance be responsible for the damage done to the Jungle in question?

it was just one tree

they're just idiots probably trying to milk higher premiums outta me

[Here's Bakugou, angrily going back to washing his stupid car while his stupid phone is still replying to things. This is why you can't trust a bug to help you bitch.

... but either way, he's flinching to a stop at that callout in the voice that haunts him on this damn app.]


.............. it was ages ago. [It really wasn't, child.]

And it was just a few vines. I handled it.

[He's just going to very resolutely keep scrubbing at that spot on his car.]

[personal profile] hotheaded 2026-05-14 02:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[No... no, wait, hold on. Whatever cleaning Bakugou was doing be damned, he's going to go grab his phone in order to squint at that weird pink thing behind Viktor.]

It's that small and still able to move that hammer around? How strong is that thing?

[There's a picture of Yanqing the Kubfu in the middle of training, looking smug at the camera. In the background, a training dummy lies on the ground, having made enough of an impact to make a small crater in the yard.]

Wish us luck, guys! Yanqing's going for the top prize in the arena. He says he'll take on all comers and win handily.

I'm a little worried he's going to take it really badly when he loses. Any advice for cheering up a Kubfu?

EXPLODE???
WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THEY EXPLODE????????????????

[He angled the camera a little for a better look--yep, that's a Tinkaton in goggles hard at work doing who knows what.]

You know, it has never occurred to me to take accurate measurements of her strength. But I am reasonably certain the hammer is in the realm of two hundred pounds, minimum.

[BANG BANG BANG pullmydeviltrigger]

Remarkable, no? Her name is Talia.

[personal profile] nonsenseprince 2026-05-14 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Some do! Some breathe fire, some spray ice or water, some strike with lightning. None of mine can learn how to explode, I don't think. Maybe Cleffa, eventually. I'll have to do more research; Kaisou's POKEGO branch has a lot of resources for this.

Good luck if you battle pokemon. Be mindful of your Pokemon types and make sure you go with a varied team and plenty of healing items.

It's too bad about the jungle competition, I was planning to take part, but I'm curious what's in there.

Yeah, most Pokemon love to fight. Some don't, but it's an individual thing if they don't. [A pause.] Okay, Audino may not fight like, at all, but they're healers anyway.

Battle arena?

I did not think this world had gladiator competitions… or is it cock fighting? I am not sure.

Either way! It sounds like fun!

I see. Then I will trust your judgement on that. Considering the whole jungle has not gone up in smoke, it is clear you are telling the truth.

[He pauses a moment, scrolling up to look at Bakugou's desire to spar with a Tinkaton.]

I did not know you wanted to challenge yourself against Pokemon. I have a few myself, but one in particular might meet your standards...if you are interested.

[Embla has wanted to really let loose...]

[Tighnari notices that username right away and his brow perks.]

..You know, it probably would've helped your case more if you didn't name yourself 'King Explosion Murder'.

Best if I check out the jungle anyway. If this contest is postponed I better see what I'm up against. The quicker I win, the quicker it's over, and no one gets hurt or tries to make an interspecies friendship with a jaguar.

[You know, Bakugou was going to brag about how that was his hero name-- should have been his hero name, if Midnight wasn't a damn coward.

But then he reads the rest of what Tighnari is saying. And then the delete button is getting held down before he starts furiously typing away.]


the hell you mean YOU'RE gonna win???

only way that'll happen is if you're on MY team
I'M gonna win

[Oh, this one has some spunk to him. Tighnari's a little amused as he leisurely types back.]

Because I am.

I have experience in navigating jungles, and extensive knowledge on edible plant life. Throw in some healing and archery, I was tailor made for this challenge.

Besides, I have to win if I'm to stop King Explosion Murder from burning the rest of it down.
