WHERE: Libra App
WHEN: January 1st

WARNINGS: None!

[As the new year rolls in, a deep cold settles into Kaisou. Best bundle up and make sure your heat is on. In the sky, the spirit vein shifts from hues of white and gold to hues of blues. As the clock hits midnight and many of the older app users are well into drinking, the blaring alert sound that comes with a new Zodiac post. 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.]

Hello! Thank you for using the Libra App!

Happy New Year! We've reached the new year, and what a year 2022 was! So many incredible and memorable things happened in the past year, it's hard to know where to start! We thank everyone who has been along for the journey of the first year of the Libra app, whether you were with us from launch day or if you just joined today. Your time and engagement with our platform really means the world to us!

We're looking forward to another exciting year with everyone! Let's make 2023 our year, shall we?

Now, as a quick aside among all these new year celebrations, we wanted to report that we have been looking into the unusual changes some of you have been experiencing. While we're still trying to figure out the exact reason it's happening, we did notice that despite our earlier proclaim that the Spirit Vein's barrier was showing signs of healing - we perhaps jumped a bit too quickly on early data. In fact, it seems that early data was nothing more than an outlier and well... the spirit energy level within the city is actually higher than it's ever been, and the exposure to that energy might be what's causing the recent mutations.

While we're not sure why these changes are happening and what can be done to reverse them, don't worry! We're looking into solutions to this problem and let you know as soon as we find something. In the mean time, since it's the start of the new year, we recommend viewing this as a new challenge that could encourage growth! There's been no reports so far of these changes being lethal or harmful, so perhaps you can garner a whole new set of experiences from them!

But with that news out of the way, we encourage you to not let these things get in the way of enjoying the holiday and reflecting on the past year! So now we'll leave you with our icebreaker, and our first annual Libra Unwrapped. Enjoy!

Happy New Year from Zodiac!


[As you finish reaching the message, the app will change to one of end-of-year videos that show off stats like how many times a person has commented, active days, which people they message the most, etc. There is also a slideshow of photos that depict "memorable times" of the year - like the time you fought a dragon or played death soccer or ate at dennys! It's not clear how some of these photos were taken, but that's not important right? For brand new users of the app, the only photo they have is a selfie shot of the expression they made when the app opened. ]

[Users will have the option to choose their own display names and userpics 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. Demyx and Sora will be around the city with no memories of the app. Meanwhile Five will be nowhere to be found.

Like always, there'll be no responses from Zodiac. ]

Haha, sorry! I guess it IS a bit early for that, but "don't let anything get in the way of your attraction" doesn't have the same ring to it, you know?

But still, good for you!

[personal profile] fionnuisce 2023-01-02 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
fair enough

i've done stranger things but this is up there on the 'if the association found out i'd be fired, probably out of a cannon' list

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2023-01-02 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Do they have rules against dating or something?
fionnuisce: (Default)

[personal profile] fionnuisce 2023-01-02 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
less that and more 'mages and the Church are like potassium and water'.
fiddlestick: (bye felicia)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2023-01-02 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, that old feud.

[SIGH]

Yeah, church people get weird about magic stuff. My ex wouldn't even play around with Ouija board that was at a party once.

But it's not like the association is here, so you'll probably be fine!
fionnuisce: (though we try to forge on ahead)

[personal profile] fionnuisce 2023-01-02 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Probably. He's not dangerous, at least.




I mean, he is, but not in any way that's actively worrying.
fiddlestick: (elliot126)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2023-01-02 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, right. Well as long as you trust him, that's the important part.

[A pause as he sees the rest...of the threads. Welp, guess that exploded. ]

By the way... now that you finally gave your name, what would you prefer I call you by?
fionnuisce: (though it's dark)

[personal profile] fionnuisce 2023-01-02 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
You know, I honestly don't have an answer to that right now.
fiddlestick: (elliot132)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2023-01-02 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Right- that's understandable!

Well, I'll just keep calling you Prof until you decide what you wanna go by, okay?
fionnuisce: (i'll gather these fallen flowers)

[personal profile] fionnuisce 2023-01-02 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
I appreciate it.

Fuck, this is weird. There's only about four people at home who call me by name, but I really can't win either way here.
fiddlestick: (elliot146)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2023-01-02 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, from the stories you tell, I'm sure the people you deal with back home are pretty different.

Most people on the app mean well though! Like Yuri likes to tease, but he's a really good friend when it counts. And August has helped me out several times in the past!
fionnuisce: (though it's dark)

[personal profile] fionnuisce 2023-01-02 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
It's not a matter of distrust, at least. Or I don't think it is. I guess it's just been an old habit. I realize it's not like anyone's going to hire an assassin to come after me here.



Hopefully.
fiddlestick: (elliot132)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2023-01-02 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, hiring assassins isn't exactly easy in this world. Just avoid making yourself the enemy of any powerful crime bosses, and you'll be just fine

[personal profile] fionnuisce 2023-01-02 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
oh, shoot, and i'd just tripped that yakuza boss last week. whoops.

[see he's got a sense of humor somewhere]

[He snorts]

Really? Welp! RIP!

We'll try to fit all your names on the tombstone, but no promises.
