UN: Zodiac | August Arrives!

[kaisoumods]

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

[The humidity is finally subsiding, though the heat is still very present as the spirit vein shifts into the fire element, brilliant hues of red appearing throughout the vein. 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!

August is here! We at Zodiac hope you guys enjoyed the vacation at the resort last month! We know our staff really enjoyed their day off. Sometimes it's just so refreshing to get away from it all, isn't it? If only more of the realms could be like that. As for you who went on a less restful voyage, we would like to remind you that there were warnings to avoid the ship and sea so Zodiac is not responsible. Being able to hold oneself accountable is a valuable life skill!

Anyway, onto our announcements. First we'd like to introduce a new feature to the Libra app: Side quests! The Side Quest page will display a list of odd jobs that our career opportunity department has heard about. These jobs are open for anyone on the app to take, so it's a great way to earn a little extra cash! Just select the job you want and you'll be sent information on what to do next!

Moving on, we have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that our Spirit Vein meteorologists have noticed the energy within Spirit Vein has grown more stable than in previous months. We hope that this means there shouldn't be a new Spirit Gate popping up this month! The bad news is that even with that positive forecast, the seers keep reading signs of strife for many of you in the next upcoming weeks. We're not sure what to make of those predictions, but hopefully it won't amount to much! Perhaps some of you need to keep an eye on your personal lives, or have some unexpected challenge ahead! Whatever the case may be, we hope you all stay happy and healthy.

That's all from us this for now! Please enjoy the county fair, and we'll 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. As Zodiac said, there is a new page on the app devoted to the side quests listings. Like always, there'll be no responses from Zodiac.]

Did they really just tell us to hold ourselves accountable right before dumping some of their work onto us?

And talk about a mixed message of a prediction.

Add being hypocrites to the long list of shitty traits Zodiac has I guess.
Also, I trust our seers more than thieir meteorologists any day.
Not that it's a high bar to clear, but the seers haven't steered us wrong yet and they actually give a fuck.
So I'm gonna choose to believe this month is gonna be insane.

Probably couldn't convince any of their staff to actually do any of the stuff that they're trying to shove into our hands now.

And what I'm getting out of the other thing is they're expecting SOMETHING to happen but it won't necessarily involve a Gate, but who knows.

[drewthetower]

are we surprised though

are we really

"our staff doesn't want to do these things so here you go! also, something's going to happen but we don't know what!"

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, for some reason I get a bad feeling whenever they try to reassure us...

[Anyway]

Anyway, just wanted to remind all the high school students that school starts next month! So this would be a great time to get started on any summer homework you haven't finished yet.

And anyone whose in my band classes, I will be checking your summer practice logs and checking to see if your skill level matches with how much you said you practice, so make sure you're ready for that~!

Technically that also means we have most of a month left before we have to worry about school.

[He doesn't want to think about this...!]

It doesn't count if you're just starting high school.

un: trienemybest; text

[droptheious]

That was supposed to last all summer?

[Guess who finished his in the first few days? If you guessed this little overachieve you win a prize!

He's not mentioning the practice thing because SOMEONE has spent most of his summer making a portal instead of doing anything else. ]

[keyofelde]

Is there additional prep work for first years?

hey so if someone totally sucked at an instrument for ages because his body is a stupid lame dillweed that sucks but then suddenly got the power to stop sucking at one single thing which meant he stopped being the worst at one instrument
could he get some flute homework for fun
or is it too late for that

[higanbana]

"side quests"

this just in: we are now literally in the world's worst rpg

i mean i guess that was already evident when i got magic ice powers but c'mon, i want to at least wear some kind of cute bunny mage outfit out without people staring at me like i have 3 heads, y'all couldn't have implemented THAT first?


also also i definitely read "keep an eye on your personal liver" instead of personal liveS and regardless i assure you i will definitely not be doing that

[laughwithme]

wear it anyway

So no being whisked away on a pirate ship this month?

Noooot that I was part of that whole deal.

Text, un: Spacekid

[schrodingersghost]

Being a pirate for a couple of days actually wasn't that bad. Except for the part with the kraken at the end.

UN: spacekid

[schrodingersghost]

Wow, I think that was even less helpful than the last few times.

So.... how doomed do we think we are?

un: zapbamboom

[incendiarize]

Between the seer club's results and Zodiac knowing less than usual but trotting out that responsibility stuff already? I'm pretty sure we're screwed. Like. I'm bracing for May 2.0 at this point.

[FIRST ZODIAC MESSAGE and boy if that isn't annoying, his phone endlessly going off until he gets to where he can deal with it!! And it... tells him basically nothing! Which at this point he's come to expect so yolo.]

Oh so are these guys in charge or something?

Oh but hey if I do some of those side jobs for you can you zodiac guys help me get a bank account or something??? That'd be cool.

Anyway I dunno about all that seer stuff but thanks for the warning I guess...? Seems kinda vague.

text | un: blackbirdtarot

[drewthetower]

they WISH they were in charge, they're just responsible for half of this shit

also am freelance seer, can confirm, vague as shit is how it works

I'm not sure we can pick a favorite memory just yet. There's still one more month of summer.

A week on the beach was pretty nice though.

[not_a_possum]

I feel like it's a bit shady that this app completely upends our lives then they dump a bunch of their work on us.

But...I'm definitely going to be needing the income if I'm not going to be turning back any time soon, so I think I'll take them up on it.

[If only he knew how wrong it would go.]
