EMERGENCY ZODIAC BROADCAST

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! ]

[Of course he'd say and do this, because this was EXACTLY what she would do, if she was in his place. No wonder her friends were exasperated with her all the time].

Uh, not without help you won't!
droptheious: (And believe me I am still alive)

I can't ask other people to risk their lives fixing my mistake, Luz.
a_cute_batata: (pretty messy)

[personal profile] a_cute_batata 2022-08-07 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Some of us want to, especially if it means keeping other people safe!

We can't fix what we've done, but we can at least do our best to help out. And I'll be by your side, whatever happens.
droptheious: (I'm not surprised that you agree)

[personal profile] droptheious 2022-08-08 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I really rather you wouldn't- if you get hurt I won't be able to forgive myself.
a_cute_batata: (whassat?)

[personal profile] a_cute_batata 2022-08-09 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
And what exactly do you think would happen if YOU got hurt?

If you have to do this (and you do, obviously) I'm doing it with you. I might not have had the means and smarts to make a working portal, but I would have given you my right arm if it would have helped, and I'm going to have your back when you're doing this too.
droptheious: (Red's for focus)

[personal profile] droptheious 2022-08-10 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I-

Okay, so you have a point there. And I'm getting the idea no one here has any common sense and aren't backing down from this. [Varian is missing the fact HE doesn't have any common sense and that's what got them into this mess in the first place.] But you still need to be careful.
a_cute_batata: (challenge!)

[personal profile] a_cute_batata 2022-08-11 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
If we had any common sense we'd be adults. And that would mean letting the "authorities" handle this.

I'm not trusting of the authorities, not completely.

Of course I'm going to be careful! They're DINOSAURS. They haven't walked on the Earth as we know it in many, many years! All scientists have ever done is guess what they were like. We don't know if they have reptile intelligence or bird like intelligence or whatever, we just have movies and cartoons and toys! So at the very least, we have to treat them as if they're going to eat us at any moment, because they just might!

If they don't, good, but if they're coming for us like that? I'll have your back, I promise.

I don't know about that, I've met some adults who have the worst common sense. [Varian YOU have no common sense, that's why all this happened. ] And they don't trust authorities either. Hooo boy, Eugene definitely didn't for a long time.

[He shrugs. ]

Science is less about guessing and more about building a hypothesis and testing it. But in my time there was a lot less of that going on. I understand it got a lot better in the future, I hear? I haven't read a lot about it, yet though.

[They have x-rays and everything! It's so cool!! He tenses a little at the promise.]

Sure. Thanks. Um. But don't promise it, okay? It's... a thing for me. Promises.
a_cute_batata: (Surprise!)

[personal profile] a_cute_batata 2022-08-15 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
So have I. Actually, I might live with one that doesn't? But in a good way, if that makes sense.

[Actually, Eda probably had a good helping of LOTS and none of all the common sense. It was kind of complicated with her].

Well sure, experimentation and application, right? And yeah, it did, now we're learning all of that in history books! Now that I think about it, you'll probably learn all about that yourself soon since you go to school.

Ugh. I might have to, now that I think about it.

Don't? What if I really mean it?
droptheious: (Doesn't make much sense)

[personal profile] droptheious 2022-08-16 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I get it. Sometimes...well, not trusting authority is the best way to change it. So long as you're not trusting the ones who don't deserve it.

[The jury's still out on Zodiac, but he knows they're more...sketchy than cruel.]

I got to do some school while I was here, just a couple of weeks though. I know a lot about science already, but I'm sure ready to learn more. It's fun!

[Leanrings the best. At her question, he hugs his arms around himself.]

Don't. I don't trust promises.

[Sorry, Luz, you have to unlock friendship level 10 for him to accept promises made to him.]
a_cute_batata: (I'm finenotfine)

[personal profile] a_cute_batata 2022-08-16 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Luz nodded, thinking of her situation. Boy, but there was going to be a lot of work to be put into trusting those in authority. Luz didn't think she'd ever get to that point so easily].

I'll try and not be so down about it. I was in a magic school before this, learning a variety of different subjects, and they were always new and exciting! Of course, it wouldn't make sense to teach that here, to a point.

There was still MAGIC happening even if most of the populace didn't know about it, so something in theoretical magic would at least feel helpful too].

Ok then. I'll just really do my best to have your back then. We should be fine as long as we're not separated.

[OOC: I'm TOTALLY separating them, so Luz gets stung by the Dilophosaurus later]!





droptheious: (My hungry children)

[personal profile] droptheious 2022-08-18 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, unless you speak to someone who has the Libra App and get some one-on-one training, it's unlikely you'll get magic classes here. But hey, someone might want to teach you something. Who knows. "

[There are plenty of people with different skills here, after all. Surely some would be willing to share them.]

I guess so. I mean...it's pretty bad. But we might get lucky.

[He doesn't sound hopeful at all on that one.]
a_cute_batata: (stunned)

[personal profile] a_cute_batata 2022-08-19 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
I hope so. I know it's pretty much going to be regular classes once they start, and I know I can't do an Alberto and just not go.

[With the dinosaur situation, it was likely Zodiac was going to be monitoring who had been in contact with Varian and keep a close eye on all of them, her included. The last thing she needed to do was give Eda more headaches].

Maybe. I sure hope so.

What are you planning to do now?
droptheious: (Aperture Science)

[personal profile] droptheious 2022-08-21 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, I guess you could try? Don't know why you wouldn't want to though, school is amazing.

[School is the COOLEST.]

I'm gonna do whatever I need to do to fix this.
a_cute_batata: (looking down)

[personal profile] a_cute_batata 2022-08-21 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
School? Wow you...sure are different from a lot of kids I know, Varian.

[I mean sure, a Boiling Isles education was one thing, but regular school being amazing?? Then again, they probably did care more than certain Boiling Isles alumni she could think of. She hadn't even been to school in Kaisou. Maybe there was something to it]?

But you'll have a BUDDY, right? You won't do it alone, increasing the likelihood of disaster and making me concerned you might die, right?

droptheious: (You've got your short sad life left)

[personal profile] droptheious 2022-08-21 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I never got the chance to go to one before. I don't understand why anyone would want to dismiss the opportunity to learn for free.

[The concept is utterly bonkers to him. He learned everything he knew by himself, by reading and trial and error. School was for nobility, not farm boys. Now he can get to one, he plans to get the absolute most out of it. ]

I wish I didn't have one, but it looks like no one's gonna let me get out of doing this alone so yeah. I'll have a buddy.
a_cute_batata: (worried again)

[personal profile] a_cute_batata 2022-08-22 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. R-right. Depending on your timeframe...wow.

[Now she felt pretty silly taking education for granted. She should have remembered that Varian came from an earlier time where education was not something that was open to everyone. She DID remember in school hearing about how only the rich were allowed to be educated].

Don't say it like that! It's a good idea. I know you feel bad about how this all went down, but I don't think you should risk dying for it. No one wants that to happen to you.
droptheious: (You like ponies)

[personal profile] droptheious 2022-08-22 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I've noticed. People are pretty good here. I guess I took for granted just how good they are.
a_cute_batata: (here I am~)

[personal profile] a_cute_batata 2022-08-23 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know how much I trust the people in charge, but yes, the ones that live here or the ones brought here are pretty great!
