[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!]

Huh.

Sounds like some tough trees then. Guess it works differently in this world.

[thavnairian]

yeah, i think that's safe to say

wait

can we say that?

[wilder]

Hm? Eh, probably not, but who cares!

Anyway, we've noticed there's a lot of clueless people on this thing, so Ana and I decided you'd be the best one to explain to them what's going on!

[HOW NICE OF THEM...]

[thavnairian]

wait. me? why am I the best candidate here?

[wilder]

Because you're friendly, you like to talk, and we don't want to do it!

[thavnairian]

... yeah, okay, that sounds like me.

i'll do it, but don't blame me if zodiac gets mad. they did tell us to keep our mouths shut about certain things and the few times i tested that out i had people walk away from me very fast

[wilder]

Right? We got your number! ♥

Don't worry, it'll be fine! Probably. Just focus on telling people on the app. Things are probably gonna get weirder from here on out, so they'll have no choice but to believe you!

[thavnairian]

i don't remember getting 'doormat' tattooed on my forehead, but it is what it is.

honestly things were already weird, but maybe they'll actually start noticing.

[wilder]

Eh, you strike me more as a tramp stamp kind of guy rather than a forehead tat anyway.

Who knows? Not sure if that'll make things easier or worse for us.

[thavnairian]

hm. there's a bird tattooed on my ass, does that count? i got shot there once

probably easier once we get over the obvious. it's good to have help.

[wilder]

You got shot in the ass?

[thavnairian]

yep. i've been stabbed too. luckily there's a lot of cushion there!

[wait he should probably explain]

most of my tattoos are covering a mark of some kind. each is like a line from a story

[wilder]

Wow that really is like something you'd read out of a novel.

...But also you really should be more careful with your ass.

[thavnairian]

oh? are you invested in my ass?

[wilder]

Not if your idea of penetration involves bullets and knives. I'm kinky but even I got limits.

[thavnairian]

[THIS IS TOO MUCH]

i like knives best when they are outside of me, thank you

i appreciate the concern though. getting shot is really unpleasant, so it's not like i enjoy it, but it happens a lot when you anger a nation with more guns than sense. granted they don't have magic the way everyone else does so it's basically the only option they know how to use

surprise 2/2

[thavnairian]

i also might've provoked them on purpose a couple of times, but that's neither here nor there

[wilder]

[.....]

How am I the only dead one again? It sounds like you should be dead if you provoked THAT many people with guns, magic or no magic.

[thavnairian]

no idea. maybe my face is just that punchable?

[Even though Zelos is at peace with being... at peace, the reminder makes Amal frown a little. It's too late to save him, but there's still that... wish. That regret. He's only known Zelos for a little while but he hasn't seen him do anything worthy of being killed. Whatever he did do, Amal can't imagine it was that bad.]

[wilder]

[Whatever it was that caused Zelos's death, he's been rather tight lipped about it. Best leave the past where it is, what's done is done.]

I think it's more than just the face causing it.

[thavnairian]

[He's very much not the prying sort, considering he has secrets of his own.]

well my ass is a bigger target technically

[wilder]

Isn't that the same thing?

[thavnairian]

hmmm

i guess?????

i don't think i'll be changing my battle strategy though

[wilder]

Suit yourself.

I'll look forward to not being the only token dead guy of our lil group.

[thavnairian]

[LMAO]

i didn't become an adventurer because i thought i'd live to see sixty, to be fair
