WHAT: This teenager does not understand his new social media.
WARNINGS: None!

[i. text;]

[A new face has been added to the network, and they are... displeased.]

What is this Libra thing supposed to be? It looks like Tiktok pretending to be Twitter.

I tried factory resetting my phone, but it keeps reinstalling itself. Does anyone have a rootkit recommendation? And don't bother with anything funny, I know how to work an antivirus.

[ii. in town; cupid's luck]

[Tsukasa is having a normal day at the bus stop, a messenger bag full of books on his shoulder. He's almost nodding off beneath his beanie despite standing up-- sleeping issues, like most high schoolers.

Then it hits him. Not a vehicle, but a vehicle of love-- that is, a heart-tipped arrow zooms out of the sky and lands right between his shoulderblades. It then explodes in a flurry of heart glitter. Tsukasa is completely confused at the pain and then the weird nausea that washes over him briefly.]

What... was that...?

[He will helplessly follow the next person he sees, and be curious about them. Enjoy your little lost duckling for the next few hours.]

because they see it as a dog or something idk for sure but boy do I have a lot of "nice dog" comments now

[wavemastery]

So you have a weird bug that everyone else, for some reason, thinks is a dog.

Somehow this isn't really as overwhelming as you made it sound.

[drewthetower]

because that's the simplest part. there's more

[wavemastery]

Okay... like what?

[drewthetower]

see if you can find posts by "BRUNO" or see if Zelos (ZW and then a rose emoji) or Amal (geodancer) are around and posting

guess where they're from

spoilers you won't

[wavemastery]

Are you always this cryptic? Say what you mean.

[drewthetower]

I do tarot readings and tailoring for a living cryptic is literally in the job description

Bruno's a seer and the other two aren't from this planet

[wavemastery]

So you're a con man.

If you weren't being so cagey about it all, maybe I would be more inclined to believe you. Now? I'm not so sure.

[drewthetower]

okay and fuck you, kid. not believing me, sure okay, shit's weird and I can't blame you there. but do NOT call me a con man. you're thinking of phony psychics. there's a fucking difference

[wavemastery]

How am I supposed to know that when the only tarot card readings I see are from those little shops?

You seem mad. Maybe you should take a nap.
