UN: Zodiac | A Mid-Month Update

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Libra App
WHEN: September 15th
WHAT: Zodiac Network Post
WARNINGS: None!

[We're now well into September, with characters having ample opportunity to visit the Great Library. However no matter how you were going about your morning, your phone will give a blaring alert sound, indicating 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. The post begins like the previous one had, with notifications of peoples coming and goings]


Nito Orpheus Dirk Althea Asriel
Nito, Orpheus, Dirk, Althea, and Asriel have joined the app. Say hi everyone!

Abel has left the app.


[The post then continues on as normal.]

Hello! Thank you for using the Libra App!

It sure has been an interesting month, hasn't it? We never thought we'd get a chance to visit the Great Library of Alexandria, what an exciting opportunity! We hope you all find time to check out the Spirit Realm this month, it really is an experience that anyone who love art and learning wouldn't want to miss!

Now for announcements, we have read through your comments on the last network post, and we understand that many of you were unhappy with the news. Please understand, reaching the conclusion we did was no easy decision. We apologize for any upset the truth may have caused. However, we will continue our commitment to transparency! So now that we've obtained permission from the Black Order to disclose the following information, we will share it with you:

There are many of you that have been experiencing memories from another life, as you all know. As it turns out, these are in fact memories from past lives that took place in other worlds or alternate dimensions. However, those lives or those worlds ended in some fashion, which led you to be reincarnated into this world.

In truth, this has been the case for a long time! Lots of people in this world had a past life in another world. The popular theory is that this world is a sorts of refuge for remnants from places that are no more. However, 99.99% of people never regain memories of their past lives. While there are cases of it happening in the past, it used to be an extremely rare occurrence! It's only recently in Kaisou did it start occurring at a higher frequency. We're still looking into why, as it may be connected to what's causing the increased Spirit Vein activity. We're also not sure why this causes appearances to change or the gaining of abilities, the Black Order were unwilling to answer our questions about that.

That's all the information we have for now. Please look forward to more in future updates! Until then, keep reading and have a nice day!

[Users will have the option to choose their own display names and user pics 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.

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

[She would probably be scared by him if this was in person, as he is big and frightening looking. Not so much over the phone.]

You were made with a sharp limb? [Made? ...Born? Created?] How do you do tasks that require two hands?

[Hmm... she isn't sure how much she should divulge about her powers. (The ones that aren't working now.) But how often do you hear from someone else with blade arms?]

...I have seen transformations, but usually the other way around.

[personal profile] end_singer 2022-09-25 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
If I cannot accomplish the task with one hand, it does not get done.

[Granted, he refrains from doing just about everything when possible, but you know how it is.

He pauses a moment, considering.]

...Willfull transformations, or otherwise? I dislike the thought of having a part of myself taken again.
playtag: (Wallflower)

[personal profile] playtag 2022-09-27 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[...She supposes that's fair. What else is he to do?]

Willful. [A beat.] ...Most of them. Though I don't think it is a type of transformation that could be shared.

[Her own requires many thousand of nanomachines, which she is specifically made to generate. Her maker had tried to create a serum for others to obtain this power, but... most attempts ended up being very unfortunate and permanent.]

Taken... again?
end_singer: (Default)

[personal profile] end_singer 2022-09-29 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
[He hums in understanding. It seems ladders will continue to be beyond him for now.

Though as for the question...]

Aye. Prior to this world, my Lord Soul was taken. Perhaps because of the loss or because of the nature of this world - perhaps both in some measure or another - I am much diminished in size as well. A loss, yet a boon to navigating human dwellings.
playtag: (Looking off yonder)

[personal profile] playtag 2022-09-30 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
[...Sir, that is a lot all at once.]

Your soul... was taken?

[Her knowledge of the soul is still rather rudimentary, but Eve is pretty sure that usually implies death. And yet here he is.]

[Don't think she hasn't noticed the mention of 'human dwellings,' even if she's not bringing it up right away.]


How tall are you usually?
end_singer: (I don't know what that means)

[personal profile] end_singer 2022-09-30 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
[To be fair, "that's a lot" is pretty much how he tends to feel any time he has to actually interact with the world, so at least Eve isn't alone in feeling that way.]

Aye, my Lord Soul. Tis... a difficult thing to explain without weaving a tale of ages past, and I am more skilled in song than oration.

[Which could probably have been guessed if this were video instead of voice, but that would've required actual tech skills.

He has to pause to consider how tall he is though. Can he even recall a system of measurement well enough to guess? Nobody's ever thought to measure him before, at least to his knowledge. Hm......]

...I believe I'm somewhere between two and a half and three humans in height, usually.
playtag: (Eh?)

[personal profile] playtag 2022-10-04 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
I like tales. [The most complicated the better.] Does singing make it easier to tell?

[Eve would have assumed the opposite.]

...

Adult humans or young humans?

[There is a pretty big difference in scale possible with this measurement system, no offense.]
end_singer: (Uhhhh....)

[personal profile] end_singer 2022-10-07 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah. Adult humans. I have never stood in the presence of human children.

[He is quiet a long moment, considering whether to speak or to sing.]

...Singing is easier if I have time to prepare words and melody, and rare is it that I do anything with speed, so I shall speak, though I have not Gwyn's gift for words.

This is the tale of a beginning, and an end.

Once, when the world was yet unformed, many of the natural forces of the world had yet to be, for only in opposition can they exist. Time itself had no meaning, for the forces by which we mark it - light and dark, life and death - did not exist under the Archtrees.

Then, without the slightest warning, something kindled down deep where the masses hid from the dragons that ruled above: fire. None know how it began, for none were there to witness it, but from the First Flame was birthed the forces of disparity the world had lacked before, and with them four souls of great power: the Lord Souls.

I was made to claim the first, for who but Death could claim the Soul meant for Death? In time, those who would be my dear friends would claim their own Lord Souls, and their respective peoples would gain souls in turn, though far lesser in power.

Through that power we wrested unchanging eternity from the dragons and the world, so that in endings there might be found new beginnings.


[He's aware that the explanation perhaps brings more questions, but he stops talking nonetheless, hoping that he's at least sufficiently answered what a Lord Soul is.]
playtag: (Serious face)

[personal profile] playtag 2022-10-09 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. [That is very tall.]

[Eve listens closely. The story is fantastical to be certain (Dragons, the First Flame, eternity), so his poetic telling seems to fit the mood. Yet the tale has only filled her with more questions. She starts with the most pressing.]


So you were the first being with a soul. You... being Death? [The last word is posed as a question. Did she hear that right?]

Did the dragons not have ones, being eternal?

I am the first with a soul forged in flame. The Everlasting Dragons did have souls, though I know not whether they began with them or came to have them after.

And yes, I am Death and Disease given form, though I prefer it if you call me by name. I am Nito.
playtag: (Eh?)

[personal profile] playtag 2022-10-16 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Does the soul burn you?

[Is it fire if it was made in fire?]

[His identity is quite the surprise. Eve has some concerns about this conversation now, but it would perhaps be apt that she would reach out to Death, with her blood-soaked history.]

[Her voice is still impassive despite the sudden shock.]


Nito.

Did you bring those things into the world? Did death start with you?
end_singer: (Default)

[personal profile] end_singer 2022-10-16 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Nay. Though my soul began in flame and is similar in appearance, 'tis not itself fire.

As for death and I, you have it reversed. I started with it rather than it starting with me. I'm merely the physical manifestation of a natural force, given form and thought.

Does that mean you cannot control it?
