WARNINGS: None!

[Wherever you are, your phone will start to ring and vibrate. It doesn’t matter if your phone was off or on mute - it will ring anyway. Checking the phone, you'll see the Libra app has opened itself and will not close until you read and response to a new post from Zodiac]

Hello everyone! Happy Lunar New Year and we at Zodiac hope you've been well!

We've seen your engagement on the app this past month and we're impressed! Thanks to everyone who got involved in sorting out the situation in the Helheim gate. You all did some incredible work and we look forward to working with you in the future!

Now we understand you have a lot of questions. While there's many things we can't disclose at this time, we can clarify one thing. Everyone on this app has been flagged for abnormal spirit energy readings. We're still looking into what it means and the potential effects of it. All we really know right now is they're similar to the energy readings coming from our otherworldly guests.

We'll try to keep you updated as we learn more! In the meantime, let's end on anothe question to lighten the mood!

ah. me and gods have a long and complex history

i'm not saying it's all fake but so far i've killed like 40 of them and i haven't found a real one yet

UN: Rose SLIDES IN HERE

[nefilim]

Wait what really

[The aspiring god killer is Intrigued.]

HAHA

[thavnairian]

oh hey ana! it's kind of complicated...

on my world anyone with enough magic rocks and willpower can summon a god. but they're not real gods, they only exist to suck the land dry of life and to turn everyone around them into mindless slaves. it's a problem that's been going on for ages

whatever the god might really be like, its image can be twisted by the wishes of the summoner into hurting its own kind... or worse

[nefilim]

Wow that sounds fucked up. And actually sounds kinda similar to a problem back home, though they're called titans.

The gods are still a problem though.

[With all their children running about and angels kinda being left unsupervised to do some Weird Shit - ]

How strong were they, though?

[thavnairian]

there are a couple terms for them, but to the people who summon them, they are their gods. talk about an awful thing to have in common though

wait, so gods are actually real on your world? you've met them?

[That does sound like a problem.]

it's kind of a steep scale. the weakest ones were still strong for me back then, but as i got stronger, so did they. next thing i know i'm scrapping with an archbishop god-king eight against twelve, which by the way isn't a fair fight at all especially when his knights are twelve feet tall with magic powers. jerks.

it's only gotten more difficult since then. the older they are, the more powerful they tend to be, especially when some power-seeking madman digs up ancient artifacts and decides that's great let's summon something out of that

[nefilim]

Not personally, but they exist. My best friend is the son of a goddess and if you wanna get technical, a god is my grandparent since they created my father.

They're fucking useless, though.

[This is her way of saying it nicely.]

Yeah, that really isn't fair. I'm guessing you royally kicked their asses though.

And of course someone would try that. Always can count on some asshole digging up something and going "teehee lets use this" even though nine times out of ten it fucks them over too.

[thavnairian]

wow. normally people brag about divine blood, but what's the point if they don't even visit for the holidays and shower you in gifts like rich relatives are supposed to do?

i did. i mean, i had to. truth be told i don't remember much about it, i was so angry i couldn't even see straight. that man doesn't even deserve a grave to piss on.

that's exactly what happened too, and now a bunch of their own guys are dead for no reason. war sucks!

[nefilim]

Oh my friend is rich. Like money practically follows him, pretty sure it's a blessing he got. He spends it all on cute boys, clothes and on me and our other friend, so it's definitely getting spent well.

Good. I won't ask what he did to make you so angry, but from the sounds of it, he sounds like a piece of shit and I hope he died like one.

And it suuuuure does! Any sniff of godly power and people loose their minds over it, especially if it's old. Remember the titans I mentioned before? People have been trying to use their power since they're like, older than dirt, and they're basically becoming zombies in the process. Nice to see nothing changes even across dimensions and worlds, I guess.

[thavnairian]

to be fair i'd spoil you too if i had the money. i think everyone deserves to feel taken care of once in a while.

[He won't offer details, as it's more of a personal story than he'd like to divulge on the network, but the silence speaks for itself.]

oh that sounds real bad. i don't suppose someone put you on cleanup duty and that's how you learned how to fight

[nefilim]

C'mon, I'm technically the kinda-divine-but-not-really here, so shouldn't it be the other way around? 😘 I'm a bit poor now, but I'll get the money sooner or later!

[And honestly, it's sounding more and more like Amal needs to be spoilt.

The silence is certainly enough of an answer though, and so she slides right past it. It's not her business and not everything needs to be aired out on the network.]

Nah, I learned how to fight when I was old enough to hold a knife. Clean up duty has only been a recent thing for me, though it sure sounds like an ongoing saga for you.

[drewthetower]

WHAT

I mean not like we can SEE the gods or anything it's all faith and w/e but

WHAT

context??????

[thavnairian]

if you really believe in yourself and have enough magic you can literally meet god

but your god also destroys the environment and turns you and your friends and family into mindless slaves doing horrible things you'd never do

what's the saying? never meet your heroes i guess

[drewthetower]

dude no offensive but I thiiiink your world has a problem

[thavnairian]

wow, it has a problem? i had no idea! it's not like it's been my job for the past few years to fix every single godsdamned problem people can come up with

[drewthetower]

hey I was just understating for effect, didn't mean to upset you

[thavnairian]

ah yeah sorry

it's a bit of a sore spot haha. i like to be helpful but i have my limits and lately it feels like every time i fix something, someone else starts shit for no reason

[drewthetower]

eh you're fine, sounds like your place needs a reset button or something

anyway. I would say you can google jesus but that is asking for more trouble
