[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!]

Why thank you! And sure, we can go with that estimate.

I'm afraid my skills aren't easily taught. They must be hone through practice and careful observation. Treat every girl as the precious star they are, with each of them sparkling in their own way!

[inutilis]

Hmm, I see what you're saying
But how do you get them to stop making that face at you long enough to ask them on a date??
You know that face they make when you've politely struck up a conversation and they look like they would rather drink pond water than continue to humor a continued interaction with you? Or maybe that drinking pond water and THEN ALSO contracting some kind of parasitic bacteria that eats them alive slowly, agonizingly, might certainly be better than present company


Is it the flowers?

[wilder]

Uh.

Yeah, the flowers probably don't help. Girls don't like it when you start off too strong.

Also aren't you like old?

1/3

[inutilis]

OLD????

[inutilis]

OLD??????

[inutilis]

yes is that a problem

[wilder]

Unfortunately!

Once you reach a certain age, approaching younger women with charm becomes less charming and more creepy. Time is a cruel mistress like that.

[inutilis]

So what you're telling me

is



I'm doomed to die a lonely, unloved, shallow husk of a spinster...?

[ isn't a spinster a woman?? ....whatever, ]

[wilder]

I mean

you could try women closer to your age?

[inutilis]

But I have a YOUNG SOUL!! Doesn't that count for anything?!

1/2

[wilder]

[ .........]

Yeah I think my roommate is better suited answering this one

[HANDING THE PHONE TO ANA]

2/2

[nefilim]

[ANA NOW HAS CONTROL and is also cracking up]

Heeeeeey it's his roommate. (*^_^*)

Also no, that counts for absolutely nothing. Zilch. It's fucking weird.

So yeah, you're gonna die a lonely spinster.

im crying

[inutilis]

Oh
It's you
Don't you have some plants to shrivel up as you walk by radiating your menacing aura of BAD VIBES that robs them of their will to live???
And look, I hate to be rude, but you are HARDLY in a position to be throwing stones in glass houses. Aren't you single? Surely. Surely.

abel vs mean girls

[nefilim]

Woooooow, and here I am trying to help. No wonder Zelos asked me to step in.

And yeah, I am single. And I'm on good terms with my exe, so I think I know what I'm talking about more than you do. (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞

he needs an adult,

[inutilis]

What, you think I'm not on good terms with my ex? I'm on SUCH good terms with my ex? Better than you at least by five times. Six, even. I'm much less single than you are, if you look at it that way.

[wilder]

[He's still letting Ana type on his phone, but he has to put in]

This is so sad....

[nefilim]

[Ana, meanwhile, is having the time of her life.]

Oh man, you weren't kidding about the whole "young soul" shit.

Not even Zelos can help you now.

[inutilis]

[ Abel, who thinks this is just Ana and only Ana right now: ]

YOU are so sad!! [ haha, gottem. rekt. literally destroyed. ]

I have no idea what that means, but I am sure Mr. Zelos will be coaching me just fine without YOUR help. If he knew what kind of degenerate he's rooming with, I'm sure he wouldn't have passed you the phone.

[wilder]

[taking the phone back!]

Mm, nope sorry I saw the whole thing.

Ana's right. You're beyond even my great capabilities to help.

But chin up, I hear spinster's get to adopt lots of cute cats.

1/2

[inutilis]

Wait is this Mr. Zelos again??
OK you two really need to start using some kind of callsign or something, this is confusing me. This doesn't sound like Mr. Zelos, either, who would never give up on me. It's against our bro-code.

[inutilis]

AND I'm a dog person, thank you!!!

[wilder]

Uh, we don't have a bro-code.
Then get dogs to fill the void.

Sincerely,
Zelos ♥

[inutilis]

[ ZELOS..................... ]

next time you come in for a bouquet i'm giving you poison ivy

[ he's not crying, YOU'RE crying ]

[wilder]

Now now, don't be like that.

Otherwise I might start asking Ana to pick up the bouquets for me.

[inutilis]

Mr. Zelos, how do you live with that woman?
Do you have some kind of trick??
You've doomed me to a life of solitude and solemnity, but certainly you'd share if there was something I'm missing when it comes to figuring her out, right?
