Okay, we've well established twice now since I've been here that Zodiac's public relations are abject shit.

I don't know if I can help anyone who might need it after the latest shitshow, but I can try. Attached is a brief summation of my professional opinion on Zodiac's statement on past lives as well as an explanation of parallel timelines as I understand them--the same principle may well not apply in every other universe, for all I know. If you'd prefer not to listen to a mage talk his head off about arcane concepts, then feel free to ignore this; I've included it as a video file for precisely that reason.

Otherwise, the half-baked class of Lord El-Melloi II is in session.

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

[We're now well into September, with characters having ample opportunity to visit the Great Library. 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]

Nito

Nito, Orpheus, Dirk, Althea, and Asriel have joined the app. Say hi everyone!

Abel

Abel has left the app.

[The post then continues on as normal.]

Hello! Thank you for using the Libra App!

It sure has been an interesting month, hasn't it? We never thought we'd get a chance to visit the Great Library of Alexandria, what an exciting opportunity! We hope you all find time to check out the Spirit Realm this month, it really is an experience that anyone who love art and learning wouldn't want to miss!

Now for announcements, we have read through your comments on the last network post, and we understand that many of you were unhappy with the news. Please understand, reaching the conclusion we did was no easy decision. We apologize for any upset the truth may have caused. However, we will continue our commitment to transparency! So now that we've obtained permission from the Black Order to disclose the following information, we will share it with you:

There are many of you that have been experiencing memories from another life, as you all know. As it turns out, these are in fact memories from past lives that took place in other worlds or alternate dimensions. However, those lives or those worlds ended in some fashion, which led you to be reincarnated into this world.

In truth, this has been the case for a long time! Lots of people in this world had a past life in another world. The popular theory is that this world is a sorts of refuge for remnants from places that are no more. However, 99.99% of people never regain memories of their past lives. While there are cases of it happening in the past, it used to be an extremely rare occurrence! It's only recently in Kaisou did it start occurring at a higher frequency. We're still looking into why, as it may be connected to what's causing the increased Spirit Vein activity. We're also not sure why this causes appearances to change or the gaining of abilities, the Black Order were unwilling to answer our questions about that.

That's all the information we have for now. Please look forward to more in future updates! Until then, keep reading and have a nice day!

[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.]

So.
Typically, an unknown application downloading itself onto one's phone and rejecting all attempts at deletion would be easily dismissed as some kind of virus.
But every scan I've done of my device suggests there's nothing malicious going down.
And as a child of the age of the internet, I know the first rule of entering any new online community is "lurk moar".
So you can all skip the basic explanations.
I've done my due diligence and read back through enough old posts to get the general gist of things – spirits, otherworldly guests, etc.
And frankly, "magic" is a wild enough explanation for a mystery app that it wraps back around to being believable just by the sheer chutzpah of the claim.
If this does turn out to be some extremely elaborate scam, then I guess kudos to whoever's behind it.
Nice job.
Anyway, we can skip to the important shit:
Why me, exactly?

Custom Text

The city of Kaisou has always been a hole-in-the-wall kind of town. While prosperous and peaceful, it's usually overlooked by the rest of the country and left to its own devices. Perhaps you were born and raised here, perhaps opportunity brought you here, or perhaps you don't know why you're here at all. Whatever the case may be, all your roads led to Kaisou. It's not bad place to be, all in all, so long as you ignore certain holes in the world.
