[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!]

yeah, good luck with that... i think we're all pretty reliant on technology in this day and age, though. but the world would be a lot lonelier without it, so i'm in no place to complain.

my whining aside, i think whether or not this app is a good or a bad thing remains to be seen... there's no denying it's weird, though

and annoying. to me, anyway.

[oathkeeper]

haha yeah! super weird. there's just something off about it, i can tell

and it's not really a "change all your passwords" kind of weird. it's way weirder.

[higanbana]

agreed. besides... if they already have this level of access to our devices, i think we're beyond the point of changing our passwords.

[oathkeeper]

we better be careful what we say on this app then, i don't want anyone to get hurt because of it. until we figure it all out, let's be careful

[higanbana]

agreed.

honestly i'm mostly just using it to have a little bit of fun for now. i can't imagine it'll hold my attention for too long after that.

[You can dream, Ris.]

[oathkeeper]

yeah the talking to people part is fun at least!

you still don't wanna mention a resolution?

[higanbana]

not gonna make one. i still think those are dumb. you can, if you want, but i'm not gonna.

[oathkeeper]

awww come on not even an easy one? come on! i won't tell anyone what it is!

[higanbana]

😐

[oathkeeper]

😊✨

what's the harm! it might be nice to think of something!

[higanbana]

because at this point, it is a battle between me and the several walls of jaded ice i've erected to protect my fragile maiden heart from the inevitable crushing disappointment of the world around me and your sunshiney optimism and i don't intend to lose





or, tl;dr: i don't wanna

[oathkeeper]

wow maybe you need to learn to let it go a little bit. let in the warmth you know?

hahah

okok how about this. if i tell you one of my resolutions you can tell me one of yours? does that sound fair?

[higanbana]

the cold never bothered me, anyway.

but ughhhhh. you're really not gonna let up on this, are you? fine, fine. i can make one up for you if it makes you happy.

[oathkeeper]

haha nailed it!

and okay! deal! i'll be a happy camper!

[higanbana]

you have remarkably low standards for happiness, my dude

but ok. fine. you said you'd go first tho, so i'm waiting.

[oathkeeper]

i dunno probably it's like this sorta stuff and chicken nuggets?

anyway! here we go!

my resolution is going to be getting through an entire horror action game without screaming once

[that's so lame]

[higanbana]

i will grant you that chicken nuggets are a valid source of happiness.

...really? that's it? at least define like, which horror action game! because if it's like, house of residing nastiness, that's SO lame. gotta at least go for something that isn't only scary for weenies!!

[...Ris may be a fan of horror. Just a tad.]

but okay. mine is pretty simple, too. just learn to cook for myself a little bit more

even doordash gets boring after a while

[oathkeeper]

[Looks like he just hit the jackpot!]

i mean horror-action games or horror shooter games! i've seen some of those popular indie horror indie games too and i kind of want to try them?! i have friends that always make fun of me saying i couldn't play scary stuff so i gotta try to prove those jerks wrong! lol

seriously, you know any good horror games??

and cooking is a pretty great resolution you know! it can be pretty fun even if you mess up. start small like cooking noodles or eggs

[higanbana]

okay, well. the indie stuff is definitely where it's at. definitely check out [insert list of fake indie horror games here] , those are Musts

if you're into the AAA stuff then [insert fake version of Alien: Isolation here] is really good! try not to scream tho IT CAN HEAR YOU :)

ehhh. idk about fun but it's definitely something i'm planning to try. you've got a good point with noodles and eggs, i'll keep that in mind.

pretty sure even i can't fuck up instant noodles at least lmao

[oathkeeper]

hahah thanks! i'll definitely try those out blind on my gaming stream! i can't wait!

[Oh god, he streams games online!]

no one can mess up boiling noodles in a pot, yeah! er will i guess one time i did burn a pot doing that. just don't be me!

[How??? He's just that lucky.]
