UN: Zodiac | Happy Pride!

[kaisoumods]

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

[As we leave May and move into June, the night gets lighter. In the sky, the spirit vein will turn into a true marvel, shining brightly in every color on the visible spectrum as the Light 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.]



Hong Lu has joined the app. Say hi everyone!


Lio, Yusuke, and Yugo have left the app.


[The post then continues on, though it seems strangely automated this time.]

Hello and thank you for using the Libra app.

Janet got barred from doing this post. Hate doing more work but probably for the best.

Anyway Happy Pride. If you're new to this world, it's a month meant to celebrate people who aren't straight and/or cisgendered. Which applies to basically nearly every person on this app. I'm sure everyone else in the comments can explain more.

As for me, I'm going to go celebrate by taking off and spending time with my boyfriend. Woo. Go gay.

Bro Code isn't a legally enforcable law. Use the 'Private' function on your phone if you want to make conversations private.

[tonberrykin]

you're only giving me what's legal and what's not :c

you can't do me a solid and just go 'nope not today satan' and leave me to my devices :c

i have to figure out my phone now :c

[loupmorque]

maybe if you weren't trying to isolate yourself away, I'd follow bro code more. But I've learned your tricks at this point, kiddo.

I'm antisocial at the best of times, true enough, but I think when it comes to this sort of thing, it's important to show up a little, you know?

If you really, truly, are adverse to going, I'll understand. But if you're just being weasel-y to get out of it because you're trying to dis-include yourself with your peers, I'll fight you.

[tonberrykin]

do not call me kiddo!! you're my age and i refuse to hear anything else about it you're not allowed to be forty with no places on your body that grow hair weird i've seen your back you're smooth and supple in most places!!!!

[ maybe if he ignores the less-than-gentle jostling for him to not power himself down like Eorzea's saddest robot inbetween sidequests, he can continue to avoid his own weird feelings about being a second-tier existence ]

i don't want to show up i want to build a blanket fort and read mean reviews of mediocre movies putting on makeup and pants and planning a whole routine is hardddd

[ ... but then Wrio says the Thing, and ghilley, well
ghilley commits to a bit ]

1v1 me in the void denny's parking lot you won't

[loupmorque]

I am 36, and that's just a fact you will have to live with when the big number 37 sits on top of my cake on my next birthday.
I take care of myself, that's really all I can say about that. I keep myself well shaved too. I wouldn't look good with a beard like you have.

[ [ anyway. wriothesley's eyes are going HUGE and WIDE at that last sentence
and here's hoping to god Ghilley isn't sitting anywhere near the coupon cafeteria where wriothesley is currently sitting and enjoying a parfait and a cup of tea because the GRIN that moves across his face is huge and wild. ] ]

You're right. I won't.
I'll fight you in the Pankration arena, as is proper.

If I win, you'll participate in the show. If I lose, I'll admit defeat and stop pestering you to participate. And I'll even cook you dinner as penance.

Do we have a deal?

[tonberrykin]

i'm stealing the number 3 from your cake and replacing it with a 1 and then i'm taking away your driver's license you can have it when you're 18 young man

[ luckily, ghilley is doing the thing where he cuddles the smallest of his Spheals and Fat Shiro and hides in Wriothesley's room while he tries not to dread the things he keeps seeing little glimpses of too hard, so Wriothesley going full slasher smile like the freak he is is all for himself

it is at this moment that he knows he has fucked up
it is also at this moment that he cannot back down because that's not who he is as a human being ]

that's your seat of power you get an ambient boost so that's dirty pool to stage the contest there
i'd also have to use a wooden sword bc i haven't gotten divine Monk inspirations back is that gucci

[ ghilley no ghilley stop ghilley emergency stop button ]

[loupmorque]

Theft is against the law. Just a reminder.

[ but that's not important. fight is important. he hasn't had a good fight against anyone who wasn't childe lately and he's not going to let this go. ]

You can use a real sword if you're really worried about it being 'my place of power'. Which it isn't. I'd argue that Void Denny's parking lot is *your* place of power, using that logic.

But I'll meet your challenge, either way. So long as you promise to abide by the outcome.

[tonberrykin]

not against minors they're not people yet

[ but what if he sucks at fighting actually what if Childe is the best you can get boss

but then Wriothesley says something insane and
wh
what ]

i
wriothesley
wriothesly jefferson sanchez
i cannot use a real sword on your delicate meat? void dennys or not???

and i am usually a man of my word what do you take me for

[loupmorque]

those are interesting last names you've assigned me. I'm not sure they suit me, though.

[ [ you can almost feel his grin through text. ] ]
If you don't use your proper strength against me, then I'm just going to walk you. You should use all the advantages you have.
I'm from a place that's a little tougher than Earth, Ghilley. There are always good healers on deck for Pankration fights--and don't go assuming you'll even be able to land a solid strike on me.

[tonberrykin]

wait wriothesley is your first name?? what the fuck

[ oh you motherfucker
you realize this means war ]

bet.
let's make sure tho for my peace of mind, shall we.

[loupmorque]

Wriothesley is my only name. Most people from Teyvat,--the planet I'm from--don't have multiple names. It's usually reserved for nobles or people of high class or position.

I'm just a jail warden, so I'm just Wriothesley. Or, The Duke.

....

....What do you mean?
