UN: Zodiac | Happy July!

[kaisoumods]

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

[July's heat and humidity has already started rolling in, with the evening air being hot and sticky. 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! Thank you for using the Libra App!

We hope you find this message well! We have an exciting announcement for a new feature that our programmers and alchemists have been hard at work perfecting since the incident in May. Starting today, the Libra app child safety safeguards have been enhanced! Children ages fifteen and younger will not be able to enter any parts of the Spirit Realm deemed dangerous without an older person accompanying them! We hope this step will help protect the younger demographic of Libra users going forward!

Moving on, our seers have been cautiously optimistic that this month will be a calmer one! Perfect timing to enjoy the summer sun and take a much needed vacation.
Though, it seems the water element will be in full effect this month, so little can be done about the humidity. Try to stay cool and hydrated everyone! Stop by the Dennys near Undertown for one of their many cool refreshing drinks, or sweat it out with some spicy food at Wanmin Restaurant in Midtown!

But oh, a word of warning from the fine folks at P.O.K.E.G.O: anyone who chooses to go visit to our lovely State Park to get away from the city should be on the look out for ice bears, cactus creatures and dragons. Also, make sure to check for ticks, watch out for poison ivy, and avoid littering!

That's all from us today! We hope you have a fantastic holiday weekend and we leave you with one of our ever popular icebreaker questions!

[Users will have the option to choose their own display names and userpics 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.

OOC Note: To avoid overloading players, the group chat updates will be skipped until next Friday (July 8th)!]

Wait, wait, wait, am I reading this right? Did Zodiac actually do something halfway resembling competent for once?

[Someone's not happy about the child safety feature.]

What? That's not fair! I can look after myself just fine!

SAME!
this is discrimination 🤬

[fiddlestick]

WAIT WAIT-

What do you mean there's DRAGONS!?

un: why

[missingache]

So a vicious goose wasn't enough in the park?

ngl I kinda want to check out if those ice bears are polar bears or bears made of ice.

UN: ShootingStar

[blurrier]

if they're made of ice won't they just melt in the heat??

text; un: fern

[laminae]

i guess the weather might suck for humans but i'm blooming a lot more so us plants are doing mathematical

and if there are any dragons that need slaying i'm a knight technically and that is basically my whole deal
ice bears and cactuses too if they're evil i'm not gonna discriminate

UN: hikari-vi

[whiteshroud]

Plants do math?

Have you slayed dragons before?

un: hic

[dragon_rider]

I would just like to say, for the record, my dragons are accounted for.

[ Thugh one of his dragons IS a Terror, so it's his fault anyway. ]

un: blackbirdtarot

[drewthetower]

you have DRAGONS?!

voice | un: fashonti

[thaumewturge]

Rather odd question, but has anyone attempted to speak with the dragons?

un: why

[missingache]

I got a friend who can talk to animals, so maybe we can ask her to talk to the dragons?

text, un: Mariposa

[nonmagical]

[Dragons? Mirabel feels a knot in her stomach.]

The dragons are avoidable, aren't they? We can just... stay away from them?

[She doesn't want to be anywhere near a freaking dragon.]

text: un: BRUNO

[wedonttalkabout]

[Oh boy, he knows why she's not happy about this.]

It looks like they're only in the state park? I think you can avoid them. Deep breaths, Mirabel.

[As a tropical island boy, he was born for this question.]

wear light breathable clothing!

though if you ask me, the fewer the clothes, the better~

un: BlueOrchestra

[fiddlestick]

[....]

Is it possible for you to wear less clothing?

un: chrysanthos.loman

[silvertongueheir]

And just how trustworthy are those "seers" of yours?

un: zapbamboom

[incendiarize]

how bout trust the non zodiac seers more. we got drowning and tentacles but August liked his card so ???? maybe it won't suck

still b careful tho

UN: ShootingStar

[blurrier]

um
so which of the three is more dangerous??
ice bears, cactus creatures, or dragons?
how BIG are the dragons?

Swimming is a good way to combat the heat!

[Someone maybe didn't read the notice from the psychics earlier this month about avoiding bodies of water?]

UN: hikari-vi

[whiteshroud]

That's a good question.

Is there a way to test their dangers?

Text, un: WitchDagger

[begaydocrimes]

Sweet I can go to the dangerous parts of the Spirit Realm because I’m an adult!

I have no idea what a Spirit Realm is!

[a_cute_batata]

Wait, what?! That's discrimination!

How is someone two years older than me somehow more capable of going through the Realm but I suddenly can't?

Un: Mariposa

[nonmagical]

The age cutoff does seem kind of weird.

[Not gonna complain though since she made the cut.]

I can go with you if you want.

UN: hikari-vi

[whiteshroud]

To whom it may concern:

I'm 18. The age restriction does nothing to stop me. Ha ha ha.

un: blackbirdtarot

[drewthetower]

to whoever else it may concern:

he's mine I got him

Text, un: Melodiousnocturne

[ocean_songbird]

okay soooo
one are you about to run another "free vacation" scam?

[Still convinced that's what last month's realm was.]

and two can i please not be responsible for any children?
i cant even take care of a goldfish.
😭

un: starfruitsora

[oathkeeper]

aww come on, taking care of a few kids isn't that bad! it's better than letting them wander into a gate alone, right?

un: zapbamboom

[incendiarize]

a """""calmer"""" one? really????? THAT'S what Zodiac is saying?????

FOR ANYONE WHO MISSED IT: I FUCKING DROWNED IN THE LAST VISION

be careful near the water!!!!!!

text; un: signorvespa

[prontissimo]

yo what drowned you?
was it a sea monster???
the fortune teller guy mentioned something with tentacles, i don't know. was that about you?

[ Zero tact. ]

UN: spacekid

[schrodingersghost]

Hold on just a moment! I'm sixteen. Does this mean what I think it means?

Re: UN: melodiousnocturne

[ocean_songbird]

congtats youre old enough to babysit??

Text, un: Dynamight

[callmekacchan]

Can't believe Zodiac did something useful for once.
Pinch me, I must still be in that dream realm.

Also I'm going to trust our seers over Zodiac's.
It's in Zodiac's interest to make us think things will be fine since they want us to go into the realms.

Text; un: Koromaru

[whatsamada]

At least I won't have to worry about having something happen to me again. Although, how worried should I be having certain adults accompany me?

[Because uh...there are some questionable adults here.]

un: why

[missingache]

If you need an adult, I'm legally one.

Did you get your weapon back yet?

Text; un: Koromaru

[speaksanimal]

Does this mean I can talk to those ice bears, cactuses and dragons too?

That's amazing, I can't wait to hear what they're going to talk about!

text, un: WitchDagger

[begaydocrimes]

Take someone with you little dude!

Also hold up you can talk to them?

video | un: deadpeopletea

[four_quarts]

[At the mention of dragons, Ghaleon remembers a... certain piece of information about the dragons from their original world. Paarthurnax (both the old Dovah and the pokemon named after him) had proven this wasn't the case for all dragons, but...]

...I know this is unlikely, but if you find any gems near dragons... you may not want to pick them up.

[A pause.]

Also, remember to wear your sunscreen when going out and about. Just because you aren't as pale as I am doesn't mean you can't still get painful burns.

un: starfruitsora

[oathkeeper]

i think it's a great idea that we watch out for kids! good on you for doing something cool for once, libra app

if anyone out there needs a big brother to watch out for them, message me!

un: singcho

[feiyun]

Oh, how benevolent of you to let us have a summer break. How convenient and generous, indeed...

I myself will be taking advantage of sitting next to the water, catching up on my reading and enjoying a chilled long island iced tea.

Re: un: singcho

[whiteshroud]

[Looks like Xingqiu is in sass mode today....]

I've never had a Long Island Iced Tea, what's in it?

UN: Thorn | Text

[poisontippedcure]

Thankfully it's just dragons. Those are easy to deal with.

As for the heat, the best thing is a good day by the ocean. Although, if you ask me, the heat is preferable to the cold any day.
