[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!]

Aw, are you jealous my dear?

[nefilim]

You tell yourself that.

More like expressing sympathy for your future victims.

[wilder]

Hey now, they're not victims. Everything we do is perfectly consensual and highly rated. ✨

[nefilim]

But it also means having to deal with your charming self at the same time. 😕

Sounds like a shitty deal. 😕😕😕

[wilder]

Yeouch. That stings.

What's got your feathers all ruffled?

[nefilim]

Awww, I thought you had thicker skin than that. 😘

And my feathers are always ruffled. Though if you want an honest answer, I'm wondering what our esteemed employers are up to.

[wilder]

Well that's your mistake! I'm a delicate rose, Ana.

[But ok time to put joking aside, because Ana brings up a good point]

That's a good question. It doesn't seem like a lot of these people are in the same boat we're in.

[nefilim]

Maybe I could handle you more gently, then.

[But on a more serious note, something about that little message is sticking with her.]

Right? It all seems pretty shady, but I guess they're always just shady bastards anyway.

[wilder]

Can you handle ANYTHING gently?

Yeah, shady bastard is basically their M.O.

Man I hope this doesn't mean we have to explain stuff to a bunch of newbies. That sounds like a drag.

[nefilim]

Actually. We might have a slight problem there.

[Because she's suddenly a lot stronger than she was the other day? Like, closer to her normal strength and she may have broken something...]

Yeah, it really does. But I'm sure you'll be a pro at it.

[Aka she's not doing it.]

[wilder]

What? Did you have a sudden lapse into self-awareness?

[We'll say he's been busy doing host work so he hasn't encountered whatever she broke]

Ugh, forget that! Let's just get Amal to do it!

[nefilim]

Has anyone ever told you how so unfunny you are.

Anyway, I broke the bathroom door. I was opening it and it just came off its hinges. I didn't even pull it that hard!

[Will she test out this new strength by trying to pick up Zelos whenever he gets home? Possibly.]

Something we can agree on! I'm sure he wouldn't mind.

[Not like they're giving him a choice.]

[wilder]

YOU BROKE OUR BATHROOM DOOR?!

[nefilim]

I DIDN'T MEAN TO!!!!

And it's getting repaired later, so you can still preen in peace!

BUT. THE POINT. IS. I pulled it off without trying! So I somehow got some of my original strength back!

[wilder]

Ugh, I can't believe it! Of all doors to break...

[BATHROOM DID NOT DESERVE THIS]

Why is it coming back NOW? We've been basically powerless all year, haven't we?

[nefilim]

IT'S FINE I'm paying to get it fixed, don't worry your pretty little head!

[It really didn't, but sacrifices must be made...]

Well, yeah, but it also kinda makes sense? All this weird stuff is happening, and now of all times my strength is coming back? It all seems connected, in a way.

[wilder]

Of course I'm gonna worry about it! What if I walk in on you by accident? [HE'LL DIE. AGAIN] I mean unless you're trying to say that you're finally AGREEING to my "clothes optional" house rule proposal...

...Yeah, you got a point. Wonders if it means all our powers will be coming back.

[If that's the case....well.. This is gonna suuuuck]

[nefilim]

I have wings, I can cover myself! And no. No "clothes optional", I do not need to see the full view.

[She doesn't want to see anyone's junk first thing in the morning!]

Probably, though I don't feel as strong as before. And I still can't do a lot of stuff either... So if we're getting them back, it look like it'll be really slow.

[wilder]

Your loss, it's a great view.

[What is shame]

Why get things over with when you can drag out the misery, I guess. [..] You feeling okay? Any side effects to your strength coming back?

[nefilim]

I'm sure I can make it through life without seeing it.

[Not that she can judge about shame, considering what she usually wears. Skimpy is fine, full naked is not.

But... Hmm. She could brush it off, but he's asking so she can offer an actual answer.]

It actually hurt a bit. Looks like without my usual... endurance, I guess? It's gonna be a fucking pain to deal with.

[wilder]

[Strength without the endurance? That sounds like a pain.]

Yeah, sounds like. I'll get a heating pad on my way home. That should help with any soreness in your muscles.

[nefilim]

Thanks, I appreciate it. ✨

[And she is actually being genuine for once.]

Though have you noticed any changes going on? With yourself, I mean.

[wilder]

[Aw look at this rare genuine moment between them. Incredible]

Hm, nothing so far. My magic's as limited as before.

[He's less worried about that and more worried if this is going to trigger his angel toxicosis again but well.....why vocalize that????]

[nefilim]

[Truly a miracle has happened.]

So just me then. Which doesn't really make much sense, unless this is gonna be a random process.

[Because why just her, and not him? They arrived around the same time as well.

Also Zelos pls. Not that Ana can judge but pls.]

[wilder]

Who knows?

You've complained more about losing your powers, so maybe your wish is being granted!
