Un: Zodiac | Mid-Month Update

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

[We've reached the middle of November. By now, the trip to Duat has been completed, and over the next few days, the sun will slowly start to reappear. It starts with only a little sun at a time each day, but slowly the daylight hours grow until the end of the month it's closer to how it usually is this time of year. But considering the revelations learned during the quest, you probably have some questions. And some mid month, 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]

Cecil, Thanatos, and Eda have joined the app. Say hi everyone!


[The post then continues on as normal.]

Hello! Thank you for using the Libra App.

First of all, we want to send thanks to everyone who assisted in resolving the crisis in Duat. Our experts have confirmed that the spirit energy around the city is beginning to normalize again, and we should expect a return of the sun and less tears in the near future. It was thanks to your hard work that we were able to find a resolution, and we are truly grateful for that.

Now to speak of the matter at hand. As you all learned, Professor Willow and other associates within P.O.K.E.G.O were responsible for the damage to the Spirit Vein that's caused all the unusual happenings over the past year. After interrogating Professor Willow and several key members, we learned that they did this when they attempted to travel through the Spirit Realm by use of a rare Pokémon called Giratina. Using Giratina caused much more damage to the Spirit Vein than they had anticipated, causing deep cracks within the barriers - which is likely what caused many otherworlders to slip through into this world. Their motive was to try to restore the Kanto Realm that they remember from a past life to it's former status as a full world, or travel to an alternate version of it.

We'd like you to know that Zodiac had no knowledge of P.O.K.E.G.O's actions or true motives. We had hired the Professor and his associates as private contractors and advisers after they approached us and offered assistance in Spirit Realm research. Upon reflection, we have reason to believe they did so in order to better monitor Zodiac's and your activities. We have immediately severed ties with all members of P.O.K.E.G.O known to be part of Professor Willow's plan. As for the organization of P.O.K.E.G.O, not all members were part of this, so they are currently undergoing internal review and reform. Perhaps we will revisit working with them again in the future, but for now our business relations have been put hold.

Professor Willow has recovered from the injury suffered in Duat, and is currently within our custody as we try to navigate what we can do about him. Unfortunately, none of his crimes are punishable by law due to the legal system not applying to supernatural incidents, so that avenue is unavailable to us. We are also aware that many of you, especially the otherworlders, have suffered due to Professor Willow's callous actions. As such, we'd be interested in hearing what you think would be proper justice for this situation. We will take your input under advisement and act from there.

Finally, we're still sorting out at Zodiac what this will mean for efforts to resolve the situation moving forward. We need more time to assess the new information, perform our own internal reviews, and make a plan for the future moving forward. We wish we could give you clearer answers at this moment, but unfortunately we don't have them yet. We thank you for your patience and understanding.

[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.

Starting today the sun will begin returning in the sky! It'll be only for a short amount of time each day, but slowly the days will increase until it's back to normal by the end of the month. NPCs will slowly stop noticing things as well. That said, continue commenting and backtagging the event log! It'll be around all month! ]

Mm, I wouldn't hold my breath for that. Lots of crimes go unpunished if they involve the supernatural. And that likely won't be changing anytime soon.

Believe me, I'm aware. Hope springs eternal, against all reason saying it shouldn't.

What do you think happens now? I'm betting on 'ultimately nothing', since that's honestly the least terrible of a handful of options I can think of.

I'm not sure. It might be nothing, or he might "disappear" which can mean he got thrown into a Spirit Realm gate.
fionnuisce: (though it's dark)

[personal profile] fionnuisce 2022-11-15 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, let the mad attempted god-usurper run rampant in the Spirit Realm, that's a good way to do a lot worse than kill someone. Sounds plausible for Zodiac.

Not like I have any better ideas, but there's no easy solution to handling any of this.

No, I don't think it'd be done with the intent of letting him survive in there.

More making sure the body won't be found.


[In other words, he meant murder]
fionnuisce: (to give you a future)

[personal profile] fionnuisce 2022-11-15 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
There I go, being optimistic again. Maybe I got a concussion somewhere along the line.
whiteshroud: (jun126)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2022-11-15 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, maybe you're just an eternal optimist. It's not necessarily a bad thing.

I don't know if Zodiac will go that far. I just know it's a tactic employed by some less savory groups.
fionnuisce: (carrying onward)

[personal profile] fionnuisce 2022-11-16 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
That, or I just don't want to think about the worse options. Which I would categorize that as. Possible, even plausible. But unpleasant.
whiteshroud: (jun03)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2022-11-18 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
Optimist for sanity sake then?
fionnuisce: (a wish together i'll set them free)

[personal profile] fionnuisce 2022-11-18 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Now we're getting somewhere. Sounds about right.
