[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!]

dude I could charge way more than that per reading if I wanted to

usually depends on what you want to know. romance, general relationships, finance, past-present-future stuff, etc

[inutilis]

[ instantly: ]

Romance.
Fifty. We have a deal.

[drewthetower]

you're Jun's dad?

[inutilis]

What? Yes, of course I am.

[ a-as if this is common knowledge... that the entirety of Kaisou should know?? ]

Are you a friend of his...?

[drewthetower]

yeah

apparently he doesn't think me giving you a reading's a good idea

any idea why?

(also he's pissed you offered HIS beanie babies)

[inutilis]

Yes, see?? Because they're VALUABLE.

But so is my love life, so I'm sure he'll understand~! So, fifty then? Where should we do this?

[drewthetower]

howabout your place? with Jun present.

[inutilis]

Hm? Oh, so like a group tarot thing? Sounds like fun~!!
Or is this your sneaky way of double charging me?
I'm not so easily swindled, good sir or madam!!

[drewthetower]

it's sir

and nah this is mostly just so if you start trying to cheat me I have back up

[inutilis]

Oh, how rude!! Are you insinuating I might try to stiff you after we've come to a gentleman's agreement?! What sort of man do you take me for?!

[drewthetower]

the sort who tried to sell me his son's beanie babies

[inutilis]

Technically, they're MY Beanie Babies.
OUR Beanie Babies.
Listen, maybe we discussed the Beanie Babies before this negotiation, what business is it of yours, alright?! Don't question my IMPECCIBLE character!!

[drewthetower]

you wanted to give me an IOU

[inutilis]

Yes, and because I'm a man of such impeccable repute, that IOU is basically better than cash. Obviously.

[drewthetower]

not how the world works dude

[inutilis]

Yes, well, maybe if you broadened your horizons you might learn it works just fine, sir! I haven't run into any issue with it thus far!!

[drewthetower]

uh-huh. sure

[inutilis]

Well. I have been directed I am, actually, NOT allowed to do tarot readings because I spent fifty dollars on gacha games last week.
However, if you'd still like to join us for dinner, I can arrange for you to view the Beanie Babies at a safe distance. You're NOT permitted to touch them, but can coo that they are "soooo cute" as much as you'd like. As long as these rules are acceptable, I have no problem with entertaining your company.

[drewthetower]

eh maybe this weekend when I don't have classes

also you spent what on gacha games

[inutilis]

Wow don't sound EXCITED or anything... I'm only sharing our prized collection, here... kids these days...
Hm? Fifty. You know. Fifty dollars?
Actually it was more like 70 if we are being precise but there was a sale so it's fine!!
Do you play any of those phone games?

[drewthetower]

[Jun how are you this guy's kid.]

just a couple and I don't spend that much on them

[inutilis]

[ sometimes when a man loves a woman...... they make a child and some idiot adopts said child later, it's fine. ]

Do you play that one with the boats??

[ ??? ]

[drewthetower]

boats????

[inutilis]

Yes the boats. Ships? Ships!!! That's the right word. They're SHIPS and you FIGHT and they're ACTUALLY cute girls!! I love phone games.

[drewthetower]

Kantei Collection?

no I don't go for the hot people collectors
