[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!]

My new year resolution is to discover why MY HAIR HAS SUDDENLY TURNED WHITE

[She might be panicking. Just a little.

And this is a convenient outlet that has also appeared at the same time as her new hairdo.]

UN: ZW

[wilder]

What?!

[ONE FEAR. BRB CHECKING HIS HAIR.]

[demonique]

ALL OF IT. NOT JUST THE ROOTS ALL OF IT. I WAS BLONDE LAST NIGHT.

[TRULY IS ONE FEAR. HER PRECIOUS HAIR.]

[wilder]

That is truly awful. I'm so sorry.

[HE IS BEING SINCERE]

Any idea if someone pranked you?

un: riftdancer

[thavnairian]

uh.... stress?

that's a perfectly normal hair color though. you can give it all sorts of highlights if you want some variety

[demonique]

[Stress is. A valid answer....]

WELL

Well, stress would fit but all of it turning white is a bit much. Usually that's a really bad sign???

Though you're right, I could dye it....

[Trying to stay positive even though she's wondering if she aged rapidly overnight.]

[thavnairian]

yeah the... suddenly part is kind of worrying. my guess? probably magic

hm... think of it as a blank slate! now you can have any hair color. rainbow from roots to tips? not a problem for you now

and whatever pins or flowers you put into it would look nice too

un: hierophantcherry

[kokaiwanai]

[OKAY THAT IS, UH, ALARMING

And actually, that's going to prompt Kakyoin to take a glance in a mirror and--

Oh. Oh dear.]

Does it make you feel any better that you're not the only one with a sudden hair color change

[demonique]

[Oh.

Oh, that's both reassuring and also not.]

I mean it does, I'm glad it's not just me. But also what is happening

[kokaiwanai]

I don't know

The one saving grace on my end is that it's not as drastic as my own hair turning white would be but black to red is still a pretty drastic change either way...

voice | un: lazyfox

[blindfox]

A prank?

[demonique]

[Oh, voice message. She'll switch to voice too. And she'll try to keep the shrieking in her voice tuned down.]

I've not left the house in a day or so! And my roommate wouldn't do something like that!

[blindfox]

Are you sure? Had any guests recently?

UN: sugarcoated

[inutilis]

Oh, no need to panic!! Age comes for us all, my dear, it's nothing to worry NOR be ashamed about!!! I mean, there's dye if you're feeling especially self-conscious, but I suggest you EMBRACE it!!! Be proud of your many turns around the sun!!!!

[ haha, old, ]

[demonique]

[She's gonna fUCKING CRY-]

I'M ONLY 19 I'M NOT THAT OLD YET. I'M NOT EVEN OLD ENOUGH TO BUY ALCOHOL HOW CAN I BE GETTING WHITE HAIR ALREADY!!!!!!!!

[inutilis]

Oh, that IS a bit early for things to start going downhill. Maybe you ought to be consulting a medical professional? Maybe you have one of those aging conditions where you'll look like an old lady by the time you're thirty? Wasn't there a movie about a guy like that? Or did he age backwards...? Either way, I'm sure it's fine. Fine. But go to the Doctor. You're fine!

(But go.)

[killjoyprince]

MINE HAS TURNED BLUE
OVERNIGHT
DID NOT NOTICE TILL BREAKFAST

[Grandpa Shirogane asking what happened?]

[demonique]

Okay good so it's not just me.

[Maybe. Still very concerned about rapidly aging tho.]

What colour was your hair before?

[killjoyprince]

BLACK
NOT DYED DIDNT WASH OUT

un: spiderlily

[higanbana]

unfortunate encounter with a bottle of bleach?

also: old white or like cool silvery-white

[demonique]

Absolutely no bleach, especially since I would need like five bottles with how thick my hair is.

Though. Now that I'm looking at it, it's more like... kinda purpley? Like in certain light there's a purple hint to it??

[higanbana]

okay, that sounds really pretty though? like as a blonde that sounds like a straight upgrade ngl

un: starfruitsora

[oathkeeper]

uhhh that only happens when you get really old right?

[Is he kidding????]

[demonique]

YES AND I'M ONLY 19. I'M NOT OLD!!!!!

[She's gonna panic either way!!!!]

[oathkeeper]

you around the same age as me why is your hair white??? yeah we're not old!?
