Un: Zodiac | Mid-Month Update

[kaisoumods]

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Libra App
WHEN: October 15th
WHAT: Zodiac Network Post
WARNINGS: None!

[It's the middle of October now. By now, the demon legion has been defeated and the kidnapped returned (though you can continue tagging the event log). However no matter how you were going about your morning, your phone will give a blaring alert sound, indicating a new Zodiac post. As usual, the alert will sound even if you have your phone turned off or on silent, and will take over your phone until you read and comment to the message. The post begins like the previous one had, with notifications of peoples coming and goings]



Ryoko, Jane, Dolores, Hypnos, and Takame have joined the app. Say hi everyone!


Pepa and Antonio have left the app.

[The post then continues on as normal.]

Hello! Thank you for using the Libra App!

First of all, we'd like to say that we're thrilled to see that everyone has returned safely and soundly from the Spirit Realm! While we had predicted increased activity from the Spirit Vein due to the time of the year, that incident went beyond our expectations. We thank anyone who was willing to go into the Qliphoth realm and assist with saving the day, yet again. Anyone who requires medical attention or counseling sessions after the ordeal is welcome to contact Zodiac for any services.

While the demon problem at the Qliphoth has been taken care of, we ask that you continue to keep a watchful eye for the rest of the month! The veil between the Spirit Realm is still weak around this time of year, so we believe that it's still probable that spirit realm related incidents may occur (though hopefully not on the same scale as that)! One of our seers has cryptically advised it'd be a good idea to invest in sun lamps, but we think they are just thoughtfully pointing out that it the days get shorter this time of year and that may affect some of us! Best to be prepared!

Finally, we have heard reports that some of you have been getting a lot of attention regarding your unique appearances as of late. We understand and sympathize that this has caused some inconveniences for you. So, we are happy to offer you some complimentary Zodiac merch to help! Cover up your unique hair styles in one of our baseball caps, or hide your wings under one of our very comfortable hoodies! Just come by the Zodiac office to get some while supplies last!

That's all we have for you for now! Stay safe and have a Happy Halloween!

[Users will have the option to choose their own display names and user pics if they haven't already. If nothing is chosen, the app will use their real name and a quick photo taken of them from their camera's phone. Like always, there'll be no responses from Zodiac. If you choose to actually go to their offices and get the merch, it's the generic kind of corporate merch either in black or purple.

Starting today the days will begin to get shorter at an unnatural rate. By the end of October, the sun will cease to rise at all. Also as of today, Professor Willow will be nowhere to be found.]

yeah no shit, 'beyond our expectations', who the hell would expect that

[University students might have noticed chemistry was being taught by a substitute in the days following the Qliphoth incident--or maybe they didn't if they were recovering themselves. Understandable, have a nice day.]

did everyone get out okay? did we lose anyone?

I'm fine.

I feel like these are questions we have to start asking every month.

UN: deadpeopletea

[four_quarts]

Still in the number of pieces I arrived in.

[Which is probably not the most encouraging way to phrase it, but eh, it's the truth.]

[nmc0204]

There were some injuries, but nothing too major as far as I'm aware. Everyone seems to have made their way out, or at least I haven't heard that anyone was left behind.

[ do you like how she worded that so it wasn't obvious that she wasn't one of the people getting her ass beat? tricksy ryoko. ]

[whatsamada]

What about you?

[droptheious]

Still not dead. How's Future You bearing up now he's Present You?

[drewthetower]

didn't lose anyone. actually gained someone

un: ChannelingLightning

[codenametesla]

Maybe we could have expected it if we had proper forewarning or even a better than basic understanding of what was happening but, yeah.

You're okay? I don't think I ever saw you resting, when I did see you.
[Not that she's one to talk, but it was easier to ask after others, especially when said other had been fairly easy to spot from pretty far away, even during the madness.]

......Zodiac is seriously responding with people being able to see the supernatural as an opportunity to shill out their merchandise?

un; spacekid

[schrodingersghost]

Should we really expect anything else at this point? I guess I should be grateful I can turn mine off.

un: floresdemayo

[senorita_perfecta]

Wow, I never thought that Zodiac would stoop this low just to give most normal people a scare.

But I am worried that I haven’t found my Tía anywhere in the city. Her door in my family’s house has stopped glowing some time ago and it does got me concerned. And Antonio... Oh gee, how is Dolores and everyone else going to process all of this now?

un: trienemybest; text

[droptheious]

Can you honestly say you're surprised? I sure can't. The only surprising thing here is that they're giving it to US for free.

un: ChannelingLightning

[codenametesla]

Also they don't even work to hide wings like that, you just look all lumpy and invite somehow more questions.

Uh... so I've heard, at least.

UN: ecraig

[fiddlestick]

"Beyond our expectations" really feels like an understatement here.

[It's been such a long two weeks]

Well anyway, I'd like to extend a congratulations to Snow and Moana for getting the solos spots for the fall concert! I look forward to your performances. I'd also like to thank everyone who auditioned. You all did fantastic and I'm proud of all the effort you put in. It wasn't an easy decision at all. I look forward to working with you all once rehearsals begin.

Also, I have healing magic, so if anyone is still hurt from everything going on, I'd be happy to offer any help I can. Please be safe out there guys.

[cardinalrule]

[Oh.

Well.]

IS IT pOSSIBLE to have a second round of tryouts?

un: calledtothewater

[findingways]

Thanks, Mr. Craig!

But I didn't know you have healing magic. I actually have some too, so I can help out if people need.

un: ChannelingLightning

[codenametesla]

And what if people hadn't been willing to save the day 'yet again'? What if the large majority, or even all of us, on this stupid app were gone. What if all the people starting to see this weirdness suddenly realized a huge chunk of people were suddenly gone and more were disappearing because we didn't or couldn't stop the stupid tree? Was there really no plan? No forethought? Obviously there's no caring, but to risk whatever secrecy is here or whatever goal is just... asinine!

[She's venting, clearly, and pissed, but even calm her thinks these are good questions.]

Also a hoodie isn't going to cover most wings, even if this wasn't horrifically predatory, it's false advertising.
[she tried. it's lumpy.]

un; spacekid

[schrodingersghost]

Full agreement there.

Hey.... if you need any help getting out anywhere, turns out some of my powers are pretty useful for sneaking around. I'm getting a lot better at sharing my invisibility with other people.

please tell me you're okay

I was warned of Zodiac and even I did not expect this level of callousness.

[i expected nothing and im still disappointed]

un: singcho

[feiyun]

It never changes, really. Every post has some sort of callous trickery to it.

un: noxxed

[sassery]

i know you shitheads arent gonna respond
so let me just say this rn

FUCK YOU

idc if this was a separate realm
or a separate time or place
that qliphoth was from my old home
when the FUCK were you going to tell any of us that our past lives might come back to bite us in the ass????

un: silverrose

[fionnuisce]

fuck


shit. i didn't think of that.

un: Yuki

[beathollow]

You're so obtuse it's almost impressive.

I'm very new to all of this, but the tone of this announcement feels wildly inappropriate.

un: silverrose

[fionnuisce]

yeah get used to that

Text; un: Opera_Ghost

[not_a_possum]

Oh yes. I'm really sure a hat and a hoodie will completely hide what I am to the public. I'll blend right in if I put on some merch.
