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.

[Will's right on the money on this one. Varian's past is a whole goddamn mess, and it's made a pretty sizeable mark on how he seems himself. None of it is good. He knows what Will is saying is logical, he knows if this were anyone else, he'd agree with it completely. It's not the first time such feelings have been put in front of him.

And yet he can't quite make that step to properly accept them.

Sometimes a person can try to make amends as much as they can and they STILL mess up and go right back to square one. I don't know. Sometimes it feels like being genuine about it can only go so far if whatever you do just ends up the same no matter what you do.

[Varian's feeling that especially, right now- after the mess with the peach. Sometimes he worries he's just always going to screw up and what that means about him as a person. What do you do when you try your best and keep stumbling?

Amal has been very vocal about helping him with that, but he still feels like he should be doing more. Doing better. He hates that he still keeps making things worse for people instead of better.

Anytime, Will. It's sometimes important to remember that.

[Naturally the feelings about himself don't echo how he thinks his FRIENDS should feel though. He's got some terrible double standards. ]

[Will's not a therapist and he knows full well that's not what he is. It's not something he can help fully, other than by supporting his friend through it as best he can.]

Hey, I never said it was going to be linear. Sometimes, it looks like a small child scribbled all over the paper. Mistakes are made, sure, but that's why it's important to get back up and learn from it. Nobody learns by being perfect and making the right decisions all the time.

Besides, you just gave me an important reminder to be kinder to myself. It's okay to let us remind you to be kinder to yourself, too. We care a lot about you, no matter what mistakes you've made. At least, I know I care about you regardless.

[Wow, look at Will just calling him out as if it wasn't already obvious Varian was talking about himself. ]

Yeah. I've had people tell me that already. I guess I'm still struggling to let myself believe it.

[Because he makes some really bad decisions. Consistently. He WANTS to get better but he's not quite sure how yet.]

...Thanks, Will. That's good of you. I know I'm lucky that I have a lot of really great people in my corner.

I'm just not so great at the being kind to myself thing.
