[GAME START] Welcome to Libra!

[kaisoumods]

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!]

oh really? okay, what's your favourite types? farming? building sim? cat ones?

but isn't there always a new kind of app or thing that has to install on stuff? it's not that uncommon!

[missingache]

Battle. Though I have a cat one or two.

Yeah, but usually we're told ahead of time in update releases that this will happen. I don't remember anything like that.

[oathkeeper]

i've tried a few battles ones! there's that one where all your characters are named after food? that one was okay!

i think i'm just pretty used to using whatever new app comes out for these sorts of things. as long as there's no weird app purchases what's the worse that can happen?

[missingache]

I've played that one, but I prefer ones with better gacha rates where you aren't forced to spend money to get good characters. I'm a student, I can't be spending my rent money on gachas.

You get sponsored to do that. If this kills my phone, I won't be able to afford a new one for a while!

[oathkeeper]

ohhh you're free to play! that's good, i know gacha spending can be pretty rough. do you suggest any other battle ones?

hahah sponsored by this app? that would be wild!

[missingache]

There's AFK Arena. It's a more western style animation and style, but it has some fun aspects to it. You can play it actively, but still leave it afk if you don't have time to play. I like it a lot.

What would they even pay you in? This doesn't seem like much of a money grabber... at least I don't see where I need to pay for anything.

[oathkeeper]

i've heard of that one too but i've never tried it. maybe i'll give it a shot when i'm bored!

i dunno probably some advertising money. i kinda wanna see what this app is gonna do first. it's still kinda new and weird

[missingache]

You don't have to, it's just something I like having since having nothing but cat games can get a little boring.

Just be careful about what you give out, okay? You don't want to end up having your info stolen by stalkers or something.

[oathkeeper]

there's no other games you like to play? what about any mmos or rpgs? or do you like all fighting and battle games only?

hahah no worries about that i'm careful!!

[missingache]

I do play some mmorpgs... though not as much since I prefer watching other people play them. I'm not that good at them.

Good. Always be careful.

[oathkeeper]

if you like watching mmorpgs you should check out my stream sometime! i'm always trying new ones out! there's one i'm really getting hooked on lately and it's been a lot of fun! final impact, have you heard of it?!

[Of course he's going to plug his stream...]

[missingache]

[Oh boy...]

I already watch your streams.

[oathkeeper]

[!!!]

whoa you do!!?? thanks!! thanks for your support! i don't think i've seen your username in chat before!

[Because his username is WHY...]

[missingache]

I use a different username when watching you... But now I'm too embarrassed to share it.

Just know I support you a lot!!

[oathkeeper]

haha i believe you, don't worry! i'm really happy you're watching! you don't have to be embarrassed about anything!

[missingache]

Next time you stream I'll let you know who I am, okay?

[oathkeeper]

okay! you better promise! i like talking to chat!

[missingache]

I promise. I'll be waiting for the notif then.

[oathkeeper]

awesome! see? social networking isn't so bad!

[missingache]

We'll see about this one. I'm not going to praise it just yet.

[oathkeeper]

hahah i guess that's fair :)

[missingache]

See you on stream!

[Until this dummy figures out private messaging is a thing... and will take a few hours to decide if that was crossing boundaries or not. Sorry Sora.]
