[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!]

"Ships to Wreck"?

What kind of username is that?

un: blackbirdtarot

[drewthetower]

Florence fan maybe?

[wilder]

I don't know what that means.

[drewthetower]

you're welcome

[wilder]

Oh. Ok.

[the_redventurer]

These things can play music?

[August you fool, Adol's adventure braincell knows to touch anything that looks different! You've sent a complete newbie into the wider internet unaccompanied!]

[drewthetower]

[He has no idea.]

yeah? not like anyone has MP3 players anymore

[the_redventurer]

[Adol politely explains that he's new here and doesn't know what that is either.]

[drewthetower]

dude unless you're from like. 600000 feet below sea level there is no way

[the_redventurer]

No, I'm from a little village in Europe. I did get to walk on the ocean floor recently though.

[drewthetower]

[What the fuck]

what the fuck

[the_redventurer]

Oh, extraordinary things tend to happen around me a lot. Don't worry about it.

[drewthetower]

if you say so dude

still how do you not know how the internet works?

[the_redventurer]

I came from another world, according to ZW. I probably don't know how most things work here.

[the_redventurer]

[Oh, huh. That doesn't seem like a recorded message, so maybe this thing is used for long distance communication.]

I don't know. I woke up with this thing next to me, and I think it might have misheard something I said?

[Text/speech converters, man.]

Anyway, do you know somewhere warm and dry I can go until my clothes dry out?

[wilder]

Dry out...?

Wait, are you saying you actually shipwrecked here???

[the_redventurer]

Well, the details before the maze are hazy, so I'm hoping I just fell overboard. But I did end up washed up on the beach again, so it's one or the other.

I also remember it being summer, weird as that probably sounds, so directions would really be appreciated.

[wilder]

[!]

Oh you're like us! It's been awhile since someone new popped up.

Welcome! You're in a different world.

[the_redventurer]

[This revelation brings a wave of relief for Adol.]

Oh, is that what happened? Dogi and the others must still be back in my world then. Good to know.

Hey, you wouldn't happen to know if the locals have anything against burning driftwood, would you?

[wilder]

"is that what happened"? Wow, that's gotta be the calmest reaction I've seen yet. Does this happen to you often?

Uh...yeah they might depending on why. Why are you burning driftwood?

[the_redventurer]

Fastest way to make sure I don't freeze before morning.

Winding up in a completely different world is new, but I've seen a lot on my adventures that few would believe if they weren't there.

[wilder]

Yeah, don't do that.

You can stay on our couch tonight.

[the_redventurer]

Can I? That would be great, thank you. How do I get there from the beach?

[wilder]

Sure, sure! Just don't mind the missing bathroom door.

[...]

You know, how about I pick you up after I get done with work? That feels like it'd be easier.

[the_redventurer]

[He thinks about asking about what happened to the bathroom door before deciding that might have an obvious answer when he gets there, so he can wait.]

Alright. I can wait here then. My vest is about as red as my hair, so I should be pretty easy to spot.

[The campfire probably also will make it easy to spot him, but details.]
