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. ]

[ She takes the spoon with zero hesitation, digging into the ice cream and shoving a sizeable chunk into her mouth - completely uncaring at the minor brain freeze she threatens to give herself. ]

"A mess" is a nice way of putting it.

[ A pause, before she heaves a sigh. ]

I know expecting anything from Zodiac is too much, but... After a fucking year I was hoping for something.
wilder: (lets consider the following)

[Zelos let's her do that without comment, taking a much smaller spoonful for himself.]

Yeah. I had suspicions they'd been stringing us along, but... [he shrugs. he knows his first impulse is to trust nothing. ] Who knows, maybe they did hit a dead end.

[He looks over at her. He could try to offer something about "not giving up hope" or something like that-- but that really isn't him. ]

You know, I don't think I ever asked - what is waiting for you back home that makes you wanna go back to much?
nefilim: (would you sell yourself for fame?)

Maybe they could have been more transparent after a year of this crap.

[ But that's definitely expecting too much.

And ah, that's... certainly a question. She pauses, considering the best way to answer. Usually she would be proud about it, boast of it even, but it doesn't feel right. And the first thing that actually comes to mind is; ]


I want to see my friends again. Or... I guess they're like brothers? I miss them a lot either way.

[ She's quiet for a moment as she helps herself to another spoonful, before eventually finishing her answer. ]

There's some beings I have to kill, as well. I've been running on spite for years, so I can't just... not do it.
wilder: (listening)

[he snorts at the idea of Zodiac being more transparent. Yeah. He's not putting any money on that. Those guys got their own underhanded dealings. They always do.

But eh, still a huge step up from Cruxis. Or the Renegades and the Tethe'allan church for that matter. After dealing with all those guys, it's hard to get worked up about Zodiac's crap.]


Hmm...well I get wanting to see your friends again at least. Even I have a couple folks I wouldn't mind seeing one more time.

[His sister and Colette. He's not sure if either of them would want anything to do with them after all that happened....but he'd still like to know if they were alright. ]

As for the spite part....are you sure? I've seen you run on a lot of stuff this past year that I wouldn't consider spite.
nefilim: (pull me into the speed)

don't mind me crawling back super late

[ Now that she thinks about it, Zelos never really talked much about anything from home... Though considering what she knows of his circumstances, she doesn't blame him for not saying anything. But she's quietly glad he still had someone he cares for back home.

But then he asks her that, and she hesitates. Has she really...? It's hard to think about spite not motivating her, when it drove her so fiercely before. ]


Even just living is out of spite, the ones who I want to kill also wanted me dead years ago. [ But... ]

Now I'm not sure anymore. I still want to finish what I set out to do, but I don't see it as a dead end like I did before.

[ Once she finished with her mission, she couldn't envision doing anything else. Now she has more people she actively cares about, more people she wants to keep spending time with. ]
wilder: (chill)

I don't mind at all!!!

[personal profile] wilder 2022-10-15 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[It was true he rarely talked about home. There wasn't much point, really. It was all in the past, and nothing laid there but pain. Or maybe he was just running away from it...it's hard to say really.

But he can worry about his own issues later. Like always. Later.]


Well...that's not a bad thing is it? Finding other stuff you wanna live for.

If this guy wanted you dead, think how pissed they must be that not only you're still alive, but you got a live that doesn't revolve around them all the time.
