kaisou | [GAME START] Welcome to Libra!

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Network
WHEN: January 7th
WHAT: Welcome to Libra!
WARNINGS: None

[Wherever you are, your phone will start to ring and vibrate. It doesn’t matter if your phone was off or on mute - it will ring anyway. If you didn’t have a phone? You’ll have found one that has been delivered to your current location with a sticky note attached with your name on it.

The ringing will continue until you check your phone. The entire screen has been locked to a new app that downloaded: Libra. It looks like a social media app, even though you’ve never heard of it before. Worst yet, there seems to be no closing this app until you read and respond to the message displayed]

Welcome to Libra! Libra is an innovative app developed by the good folks at Zodiac™ to connect people with similarities that set them apart from the average crowd!

There’s a lot to talk about, but we don’t want to pile too much on you! Instead, let's start things off with a little icebreaker! It’s a little late, but we hope it's still relevant!

This post is sponsored by the 2021 Kaisou Winter Carnival! Get out and enjoy the cold!

[Users will have the option to choose their own display names and userpics. If nothing is chosen, the app will use their real name and a quick photo taken of them from their camera's phone.

Mod Note: The game has officially begun! The first event log will take place on January 9th, but players are free to make their own logs and posts! There will be no NPC response in this network post, so feel free to interact with each other!]

in the "one of my friend's boyfriend is a literal tech god" way yeah

I see...

But you don't think even he could remove this app?

nooooooope

probably melt my phone trying tho

[ 💧]

Pretty sure melting phones while trying to uninstall an app doesn't make you that skilled a tech guy.

no he does that all the time to stuff he didn't program or build

his shit is like

WAY too much for standard tech stuff

also probably has some magic shit going on but I never asked

Uh huh.

Are you going to claim this thing is magic too?

yeah probably?

got any other explanation?

A virus? Malware? A new annoying iOS update?

I use Android so

Virus or malware then.

antivirus isn't picking it up

Some viruses are designed to slip past antivirus programs, you know.

and what's more likely: magic or a virus/malware that targets only SELECT phones? cuz the guy in the café with me's never heard of "Libra"

Just because someone hasn't heard of a site doesn't prove magic, August. No one ever used Mixer and that was a real site.

yeah because Twitch owns everyone's ass

I'm just saying, magic makes more sense to me

And I'm saying we should look into the more logical explanations before jumping to the conclusion of magic.

see for me shit like this, the most logical answer IS magic

Yeah, that's not the least bit surprising coming from you.

dude my pet raven has glowing purple eyes sometimes and is WAY older than ravens should be!! also the sky, but mostly Julian

Ok August.

But also, if this is magic, then why is my coworker that's not into occult stuff on this app too?

I'm serious, ravens only live about 10-15 years and Julian is my age

bold of you to think magic gives a fuck about people's hobbies Jun

Ok, let me put it another way.

There are normal people on this app and immediately saying this is magic without ruling out more normal explanations first makes you sound like a crackpot.

[THINK AUGUST. THINK.]

WHAT ABOUT THIS IS NORMAL

and like

magic makes way more sense than what some actual crackpots would come up with on Twitter or Facebook

Pretty sure that's what they all say about their theories, August....

the difference is magic is way more likely than politicians being able to like

fuckin work together and conspire and shit
