[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.

Yeah he sounds like an asshole. I'll try to avoid getting a class with him, thanks.

[missingache]

If you can't, take sociology instead. That one counts, too.

[whiteshroud]

Good idea. I'll look into it.

[missingache]

Also, even if it's recommended, I say avoid philosophy. Find a different humanities class... It's so boring.

[whiteshroud]

Oh, I didn't mind philosophy. It's interesting to learn about other people's perspectives about life and the world.

[missingache]

Yes, but have you ever listened to a philosophy major talk?

[whiteshroud]

Sometimes. I went through a phase where I listened to a lot of TED talks to help figure out things about myself.

Some were interesting! Though...there were some that felt like they were full of hot air, I'll admit.

[missingache]

TED talks are good to listen to.

I think as long as someone sounds confident about what they are talking about, they get a TED talk segment.

[whiteshroud]

Haha, I'd believe it. I went down some weird rabbit holes a few times.

[missingache]

My latest rabbit hole led me into soap cutting videos... if you need something to turn your brain off to and get a good perspective for lines, I recommend those.

[whiteshroud]

Soap cutting? What's that?

[missingache]

People taking bars of soap and either a knife, xacto knife or a box cutter to cut into it and film it.

[whiteshroud]

Are you serious? Okay, I have to google this now.

[A FEW MINUTES LATER]

Wow, it's strangely satisfying to watch....

[missingache]

Be careful about tiktok ones, they have really grating music a lot of time.

[whiteshroud]

Don't worry, I don't have tiktok anymore.

I couldn't risk my father discovering the app.

[missingache]

Disapproval or the type that would join just to embarrass you?

[whiteshroud]

The latter. 100%.

[missingache]

That doesn't sound too harmful... It's kinda nice if he's trying to keep up with your interests.

[whiteshroud]

Haha, yeah. He's good about that! He's always been really supportive.

But at the same time...he could turn it down a little sometimes.

[missingache]

He loves you, even if his love might be too eccentric to you right now.

[whiteshroud]

Yeah, he does.

But I'm still not letting him on tiktok. It's for the greater good.

[missingache]

Thanks, now I want to watch Hot Fuzz again...
