WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Libra App
WHEN: August 8th, morning after the dinosaur attack
WHAT: Zodiac Network Post
WARNINGS: None!

[It's been a harrowing day with the tears appearing all over the city and dinosaurs appearing. By now, thanks to the combined efforts from Zodiac, the Black Order and app users - they've managed to trap most of the dinosaurs into barriered areas throughout the city. The damage done by all this is immense, and there's more than a few questions left unanswered.

The phone will ring its usual ringtone that it gives when there's a Zodiac broadcast. It will not stop until it is read.]

Hello Everyone.

As you're likely aware by now, there was an incident this morning that resulted in the attack on the city. This was caused by a manmade portal. While many of you may be aware that manmade portals are considered dangerous due to the inability to predict what realm they will open into, there is a lesser known reason why they are considered so dangerous. Unlike normal Spirit Gates who serve as doors into the Spirit Realm, a manmade portal is like punching a hole into the barrier that separates our world from the Spirit Realm. Doing so often results in a weakening of the surrounding barrier, causing the tears we saw today.

Varian has taken full responsibility for the portal incident today, with Fern as a bystander. He constructed a portal and used God's blood as fuel. During his attempt to open a portal, a T-rex appeared and damaged the gate, as well as took the god's blood.

Despite Varian's insistences that he acted alone, considering the scale of the project, we suspect he had accomplices assist him in the project. As a consequence for his attentions, Zodiac will be monitoring Varian more closely moving forward. In addition, him and anyone else who is found to be involved in this project will be expected to do community service as well as assist in resolving this situation.

Speaking of resolving the situation, while the Black Order has agreed to assist, we ask for your assistance as well. The barriers that were placed are a temporary stopgap measure. We need to seal the tears throughout the city, and travel into the realm itself to neutralize the God's Blood that was taken so it doesn't continue weakening the Spirit Realm barrier.

If you are able and willing to help, please come by the Zodiac offices for more information.

Our sensors have also picked up on several more Isekai who arrived around the same time as the portal incident. We're still investigating if they are related to the damage done. Anyone who has arrived are welcome to contact Zodiac for any housing arrangements.

Stay safe out there.

[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. Zodiac will not respond to this message, but anyone who confesses to invovlement will get contacted about community service at a later date. Going to the Zodiac Office is covered in the event log and is handwaved with the NPCs. This post is also visible to anyone who just arrived! ]

[Sorry Jun, he's still working out how to friendship and this seems like the right move.]

i HAD NO IDEA things could get this bad.

dO YOU,KNOW WHAT A T-REX is? hOw dangerous is it with the god's blood?

[It's ok bro he ain't mad. Cult duo is ride or die]

I didn't know either. I should've done more research.

A T-Rex was an apex predator that existed millions of years ago. It's like those things that have been running around the city but much much bigger. Many call it the King of the Dinosaurs.

I can't imagine giving it god's blood will do anything but make it worse.

[Ohhh boy, that doesn't sound good.]

i AGREE. THIS SOUNDS LIKE, A WORST CASE SCENARIO. WORSE IS vARIAN INSISTING,ON DEALING WITH IT HIMSELF. I DOUBt he can face,something like that.

Mm, there's no way. The T-Rex would eat him in a single bite.

[Less than a bite, he's such a noodle.]

yOU"re right. He doesn"t stand a change.

Yeah. Though I think he's being too stubborn to understand that.
So maybe we need to defeat this T-Rex before he has a chance to reach it.

[Jun. Jun no. This is also a bad plan.]

Not by yourself, you’re not. You’re going with someone and I’m not gonna listen to you argue, all right? We don’t need a repeat of the realm of the dead.

[Oh fuck it's the gym teacher. Even though Jun graduated and once did fisticuffs with Nox, that tone is still enough to make him freeze for a second before he flips on voice.]

Oh- Mr. Miller...!

[Trying not to gulp]

It wasn't my plan to go alone...

[yes it was and his awkward tone completely betrays that intent. ]

Seriously, if I'm not following you, Nox, I'm following Jun. He's not that reckless.

[You owe him, Jun.]

[To August.] You better. Not that I don’t trust Jun, but it’s also a fucking T-rex. I don’t know of anyone else who can walk shit off like I can, so I don’t wanna risk it.

[To Jun- he absolutely heard that tone, but he’s not going to call him out on it.] I know you can do a lot of shit, Jun. It’s why I’m saying all this now. Last thing anyone needs is to see you hurt from something you could have prevented, all right?

And call me Nox. I’m not your teacher anymore, so you don’t need to call me by my last name.

August...

[He's a little surprised, since when he first heard August speak up- he thought he was going to rat him out because of course August knows him too well. But instead, offering to back him up? He really has such a good fried...

As for Nox's words, Jun IS listening. It is hard to argue with his former teacher's points.....even if being told to call him by his first name is nerve-wracking and makes him gulp now.]

All right, I understand, M- ... N-Nox.

[God it sounds so weird]

[Wow, this is a lot.]

yOU have a,lot of friends.

[ 💧 ]

You mean August? Mr. Miller was just my teacher.

[That's like one whole friend Hunter!!]

oH, IS HE? I THOUght he was a friend,of yours.

[He's so bad at this.]

Mm, he was my gym teacher.

I challenged him once to a fistfight to help him sort out something, but I don't think that really counts as friendship.

i SEE.

[He doesn't, but he's taking notes on this. Fistfights do not equal friendship.]

i APOLOGIZE FOR THE MISUNDERSTANDING.

[Yes congrats for learning that lesson Hunter. Handshakes are friendship, while punching is not]

Haha, it's fine. It's an easy mistake. We have enough to apologize for without doing it to each other.

[He heard the hesitation, but he just actually chuckles.]

Trust me, you'll get used to it with time. I'm not gonna bite your head off if you slip up.

[Right, of course. Jun gives a little nod, not that Nox can see it]

Understood.
