Un: Zodiac | Mid-Month Update

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

[We've reached the middle of January. The Zodiac race was a thrilling success, and the winter is still freezing. Wherever you are, 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]


Crito Flat Jusis Ann Minwu Diluc
Crito, Flat, Jusis, Ann, Minwu, and Diluc have joined the app. Say hi everyone!

Dolores Xingqiu Roxas Chongyun Alphinaud
Dolores, Xingqiu, Roxas, Chongyun, and Alphinaud has left the app.


[The post then continues on as normal.]

Hello. Thank you for using the Libra App.

Because you all reacted so positively to my post last month, my bosses has assigned me to write these mid-month updates from now on. Which means I have extra work now. So thanks for that.

Congratulations on everyone who completed the Zodiac race. Hope you enjoyed yourselves somehow or learned something. If any of you took a peach but decide you don't want it, Zodiac will take it off your hands for a payment that's higher than my salary. Which is depressing me just thinking about it, so let's move on.

We're aware that Jusis Albarea from the Black Order has joined the app. It was part of the deal we made with them to help deal with Professor Willow. There will probably be more of them in the future. The Order has insisted they are only here to monitor and assist in what's going on. Zodiac is not liable if any of you manage to do something that makes them decide to take you out, so try to play nice.

Anyway, my shift's over so that's it. Seeya.

[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.]

we can already reasonably assume that everything not locked in a direct conversation can be seen by zodiac and whoever is nosy

i think rather than being suspicious of every new person, we should just treat other people like we want to be treated. even if you have a really strong feeling that someone is hiding something from you, you don't know what's going on in their life at all. maybe they're struggling. you could be the lifeline they need to make the right decision when the time comes

you'd be surprised at how well people respond to being treated like people.

I'm pretty certain Zodiac can access anything on this app, locked or otherwise. They created it, right?

[That's not helping with the paranoia Varian.

But that is a REALLY REASONABLE answer. It's the sort of answer Rapunzel would give and it does give Varian reason to pause and consider this. He really does believe in second chances, so why not give people some faith before they even do the thing that requires a second chance in the first place?

Damnit Dadthing, why do you have to be so reasonable?

...That's a really good point. I guess making the dividing line between us and them would only make matters worse in the long run...huh?

true. i don't think i've ever said anything on the network about zodiac i wouldn't say to their face though

[GOOD. THINK ABOUT YOUR DECISIONS, VARIAN... just not too much because we don't want you to spiral.]

yeah... all it does is make us an easier target.

i'd like to believe that if something big came along and threatened everyone's lives we'd throw down our arms but it isn't always that easy. so we need to learn to work together before that happens, even if we don't necessarily like one another

now if you'll excuse me i need to go start a bar fight because i'm feeling too much like a pacifist right now

Hah, that's true, you have always been pretty clear in your feelings about them.

[No one wants Varian to spiral, that's where Bad Things lie. ]

Yeah, I'd like to think that too, but it definitely isn't always so simple. But you're right. We're all pretty much stuck with each other- learning to get along is probably the best strategy.

That's what you get for wearing all your pacifism out all at once!!!

exactly!!! we have to share this city, so we need to figure it out.

don't worry

It's the only way we're gonna deal with the ever-expanding madness here.

I'm sure someone can do that for you! Just go insult someone in a tavern and you'll have bottles thrown at you in no time.
