UN: Zodiac | Fall into Fall!

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

[As the days roll into September, a cool wind picks up through the city, chasing away that summer heat. Autumn has begun to arrive, and with it comes the blarring alert sound that comes with a new Zodiac post. As usual, the alert will sound even if you have your phone turned off or on silent, and will take over your phone until you read and comment to the message. Though, it seems to be starting with an additional notification this time.]

Riku Meti Rapunzel Kashuu Miyako Asriel Pascal Rand
Riku, Meti, Rapunzel, Kashuu, Miyako, Asriel, Pascal, and Rand have left the app.


[The post then continues on as normal.]

Hello! Thank you for using the Libra App!

We hope you are doing well as we enter September! We thank you for all your hard work and effort with assisting in the crisis that occurred last month. Our experts have assured us the tears have all been successfully sealed thanks to everyone's effort, so there should be no reason to feel concerned about more dinosaurs appearing. Clean up efforts from the damage accrued will continue, if you're interested in helping out! As for those of you who have been asked community service hours, we recommend getting ahead of that now instead of procrastinating.

Now, we're well aware that many of you have been asking for more transparency from us. While we can't tell you everything at this time, we have reached the conclusion that it would be best to fill you in on some information - especially in regards of the status of the otherworlders, or the isekais, as many of us have fondly called them.

The truth is, while Zodiac has been researching and experimenting with various methods to return you all to your proper worlds over the past year and a half, we have been unable to come up with any way to reliably travel to other worlds. This is not unexpected. Humans in this world have been attempting to travel through the Spirit Realm and to other worlds for centuries with no success. While we will continue to look into ways to return you home, we will make no promises as we believe such a feat is beyond this world's capabilities at this time.

As for those otherworlders who occasionally disappear, we can verify they are no longer in this world. Unfortunately we have no way to verify what happens to them after they leave the borders of this world. Perhaps they do return to their home, but due to the size of the Spirit Realm and all the multiverses out there - it's more likely they're now lost somewhere in the Spirit Realm or another world altogether.

We're sorry to those who are affected by this news. The reason we at Zodiac were reluctant to share this information was because we didn't want you to lose hope, but now we've come to understand your desire for transparency. If you so wish, counseling sessions are available. Please contact the Zodiac office to schedule an appointment.

And so we don't end this message on a completely sad note, it's time for our ever-popular icebreaker question!

[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. Riku, Meti, Kashuu, Pascal, and Rand will be in the city but have no memory of the app. Meanwhile Rapunzel, Asriel, and Miyako will be nowhere to be found.

Like always, there'll be no responses from Zodiac.

OOC: As mentioned in the plotting post, apps and drops will be announced in the Zodiac posts instead of the group chats from this point forward (though characters can still use the group chats!) The next Zodiac post will happen in the middle of the month. ]

Singleminded predators I can deal with. It's people that really worry me.
areyuuserious: (might be tired. might be homesick)

[personal profile] areyuuserious 2022-09-01 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
And given what people can be capable of... yeah. Me too.
fionnuisce: (your name's all it knows)

[personal profile] fionnuisce 2022-09-01 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly. I don't know if malice or incompetence is the more dangerous option, ultimately, but neither one is ideal.
areyuuserious: (dude c'mon)

[personal profile] areyuuserious 2022-09-01 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty much... And unfortunately, no cure for stupidity or malice.

I'm Yuu, by the way. One of the isekai'd high school students.
fionnuisce: (hope discarded and broken)

Pleasure to meet you, just call me Professor for now. I got here the same time as those dinosaurs, and I'm teaching university chemistry at the moment.
areyuuserious: (huh?)

[personal profile] areyuuserious 2022-09-01 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, wow, that's a hell of a time to show up. I've been here for about half a year by now.

So is that an upgrade or a downgrade from what you were doing before?
fionnuisce: (i'll gather these fallen flowers)

[personal profile] fionnuisce 2022-09-01 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
You're taking this pretty well for someone that's been here for that long, I'm impressed.

Sidestep, really. I'm a teacher of magecraft, and chemistry's fundamentally not that different from alchemy.
areyuuserious: (ahaha oh gods I have to escape)

[personal profile] areyuuserious 2022-09-01 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
It's not my first rodeo with another world, so to speak, and this one's been generally less of a pain. Even with the dinosaurs. I've gotten pretty good at dealing with the whole "it's entirely out of my hands, so I'm going to focus on what I can do in the meantime."

Ooh, yeah, that's a good point. Alchemy was one of the things taught at Night Raven College and while it's probably a little different, I imagine there's a lot of it that's essentially the same, and it was basically just Chemistry With Magic at NRC.

I can absolutely understand that much. The smaller manageable things in the larger catastrophe are the only place to start sometimes. The existence of parallel worlds isn’t something entirely unknown to me, but there’s only one mage said to have mastered it. Not exactly the kind of thing any idiot stumbles into.

That’s basically the shape of it, chemistry with extra steps. Understanding chemical compounds and elements is key to being able to utilize them.
