May. 30th, 2023 03:43 pmWHO: Persephone
WHERE: The network
WHEN: Around the end of May
WHAT: Tree grandma has arrived and wants to say hi!!
WARNINGS: Maybe language, but will update if needed
[ When the video feed flickers on, the sight everyone will be greeted to is a woman who is literally blooming - flowers dot throughout her hair, branch-like horns curl above her head and there's glimpses of flowery "tattoos" peeking from under her halter top. Basically as flower-y a person can look.
And she has the sunny disposition to match her look, smile bright as she speaks. ]
Hello, good afternoon! I've already introduced myself to my little group, but I figured I would greet everyone else as well. [ She pauses, humming quietly for a moment. ]
My name is Persephone, just Persie is fine, and before anyone worries - no, I'm not the Persephone from Greek mythology. I just like the name, and I've had it for years now. [ Best to get that out of the way first. ]
I am also part of POKEGO, as Professor Pomegranate, and I've been with the group since the very beginning. Most of my focus has been helping the junior division, and while I'm here I'll be assisting with the apprenticeship program as well as anything else that needs an old lady's touch.
So. If anyone has any questions or concerns or anything like that, I'll do my best to answer. Otherwise, it's lovely to meet you all!
[ Considering her seniority in the group, she doesn't... expect the best reaction. But it's something she's been prepared for. ]

WHO: Jun Kohinata
WHERE: Network
WHEN: Forward Dated to April 3rd
WHAT: Post regarding what happened to the Black Order plan
WARNINGS: People will probably swear
[Jun's really not looking forward to this, but after the Black Order's plan went extremely wrong, Jun really didn't have much of the choice but to reach out to everyone. As usually, he speaks through a voice modulator that obscures his identity]
This is Shroud.
A few weeks ago, I was recruited by Jusis Albarea from the Black Order with a few others to use a method that he hoped would allow us to stop Zodiac. He didn't know much about what it entailed beside that it needed four people, but he was under the impression it'd work. We were also all ordered to silence by the Order member Zhongli.
Tonight we attempted to use that method, which was called the MetaNav. Unfortunatly, instead of gaining us access to Zodiac straight away, it expected offerings. Jusis Albarea, Professor Waver Velvet, and Takame were all grabbed by shadowy hands and dragged down into an abyss. [There's a pause of hesitation, since he does feel guilty over this one] For some reason, I did not qualify as an offering, and it grabbed Danny Fenton who just happened to be nearby.
It's unknown what happened to them, but I don't think they're dead. The MetaNav now says that "the gate will open once their souls will be judged". Others who have used the MetaNav in the past have survived, so there's a good chance we'll be able to save them once the gate opens. As well as stop Zodiac.
But we need to be ready. All of us. Whatever awaits us when this gate opens will most likely be dangerous, but it may be our only chance to set things right.
[The feed cuts off. As of the 3rd - Waver, Takame, Jusis and Danny will not be reachable and attempting to do so may get a message from their shadow. The event logs will be posted on the 4th. ]

UN: Zodiac | With April Showers...
Mar. 31st, 2023 04:57 pmWHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Libra App
WHEN: April 1st
WHAT: Zodiac Network Post
WARNINGS: None!
[The Spirit Vein in the sky shifts from greens to oranges and browns as the element dominance shift into the Earth element. With it, the howling winds of March die down and leave mild spring weather. As usual, 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.]

Zhongli, Ryouta, Shio, Rren, and Ei have joined the app. Say hi everyone!

Kakyoin, Yuri, Anna, Ryoji, and Hu Tao has left the app.
[The post then continues on as normal.]
Hello! Thank you for using the Libra App!
Happy April everyone! We just wanted to show our appreciation for all your concerns with our last update. That was sent in error and we assure you all our employees are happy, healthy and alive. If you've notice us being quiet, it's because everyone at Zodiac is hard at work working on something we can't announce just yet! But be sure to check back April 15th, the day after our quarter CEO board meeting, for the exciting announcement!
By the way, we've recently been made aware of a gas leak in the Undertown area. We're currently working to contain the leak. Until further notice, we ask that you stay out of the Undertown area for your own protection.
Finally, we'd like to remind tenents in the Zodiac apartments that should you choose to move, we'd appreciate you contact us with a change of address form so we know where to deliver any mail! So Varian and Fern, if you could please contact us with your change of address, that'd be great. :)
That's all for today! Now let's end off with our ever-popular icebreaker question!

This post has been sponsored by the Chinese diner Aiya! Now through April, you can take on Rainy Day Mega Beef Bowl Challenge on any rainy day! Push yourself to the limits and grow as a person!
[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. Kakyoin, Yuri, Anna, Ryoji, and Hu Tao will be around the city with no memories of the app.
Should anyone attempt to go to Undertown, they will find the place has been emptied out of its usual crowd and instead it'll be full of mysterious people in black suits that will insist that you shouldn't be down there. Should you attempt to ignore their warnings, they will be willing to use force to remove you from the area. Some will even come equipment with enchanted objects that neutralize any superhuman abilities for a full day should you try to muscle your way through. Attmepts to teleport will also be blocked. Black Order members will find the reaction to you will rise to hostilities MUCH quicker. Good job! You made your presences known!
Many of the former occupants of Undertown can be found holed up in the Void Denny's, should you still require their wares.
Like always, there'll be no responses from Zodiac. ]

WHERE: Network
WHEN: Late March
WHAT: Anna has to go back to Europe and Snow finds out she actually has a MASSIVE family
WARNINGS: Past trauma?
[In the background are seven men, all with various lengths of white beards (though one doesn't have one at all). Some are massively well built, some are portly, the one without the beard is as scrawny as can be. They've all got various boxes in arm, on their shoulders, or are pushing a dolly or lifting furniture.
They're talking to Anna and Snow dips out from the room to move into the stairwell of the apartment building.]
Oh ah- I just wanted to let everyone know I won't be living with my cousin Anna anymore if you wish to visit me.
I... well... it seems I do have a much larger family than I ever knew! I will be living with my seven uncles, now. I didn't even know I had seven uncles.
Apparently my stepmother had legally prevented them from seeing me, they're my mother.. my actual mother's brothers. [But now Grimhilde is dead and all of her restrictions are slowly falling away. Snow's face is hard to read.]
I haven't seen the new house, yet, but they've made a room for me and everything and want all my friends to visit when they can.
[All seven will be coming to fill out forms at school, have fun with that, Kaisou High.]

[It's that time again, folks! Your monthly prophecy post has arrived.]
Hey, guys! Your resident Apollo kid is back with another sneak peek at next month's... uh... shenanigans.
[Will checks his notes.]
Okay, so, for March. August says he got the Magician reversed, so we should expect trickery and illusions. Something out-of-touch with reality, most likely. Someone else had a vision of rainbows. ...At least, I think it was rainbows that were described? He was describing it like he's never seen a rainbow before, so that's our best guess.
[Right, off-topic a little there, Will.]
There was another vision about a woman who had a very piercing scream. He said that he felt some lingering pain after the vision faded, but most likely that was psychosomatic. I told him to let me know if he still feels it by tomorrow. Other than that, the dream I had was about some people I didn't recognize. They felt like they were... unwelcome, though. Like I hadn't invited them and I hadn't appreciated their presence.
[That's saying something coming from this kid.]

Hello! Thank you for using the Libra App!
Happy February everyone! We hope you've had a delightful start to the year - we know we have! Thanks to everyone that assisted with the Zodiac Race this year, it was an amazing honor wasn't it? And we'd like to give an extra big thank you and shout out to Moxxie, for going above and beyond in his efforts! We truly appreciate your generous contributions, may it be remembered forever. 💖
Speaking of contributions, we'd like to remind residents within the Zodiac apartment complex that while your residency is rent-free, it is not responsibility-free. As such, you are responsible for any property damage to the building that occurs either by your hand or any your guests, and you will be required to cover the cost of repairs. Please remember this the next time you feel a temptation to take out a wall.
Related to that prior point, we apologize for any discomfort with the heating that you've been experiencing. Unfortunately we're struggling to keep the building's heat in due to a couple individuals blowing out a wall. Thank you for your understanding.
Finally, we've understand there's been concerns raised about the presence of Black Order members on the Libra App. We want to assure you that their presence here was cleared through the proper channels, and that they are here to assist with the unusual situation we've found ourselves in. And while we cannot comment on the veracity of the rumor that they require humanoid flesh for sustenance, we can say we've been reassured that any Black Order members that consumes an app user will be investigated for improper conduct and be required to attend conflict-management training. We hope this helps puts minds at ease.
That's all for today! Now let's end off with our ever-popular icebreaker question!

Not a magical ballroom peach
Jan. 20th, 2023 10:24 pm[At some point on the 20th, after the prophecy post goes out, the Zodiac apartments are shaken with a loud KA-BOOM! While the damage to other apartments is minimal at best, one apartment has definitely borne the brunt of it. Pieces of Varian and Fern's place can be found blown outwards and onto the street below. There are a lot of swords and dangerous chemicals strewn about so...maybe be careful if you're gonna go around touching any of them. There's a hissing sound from up high where there seems to be a fire extinguisher being used on putting out the fire up there and a distant "I GOT IT, I GOT IT!"
...They might not, in fact, have got this.]
Network: Video UN:trienemybest/fern
[A few hours after the explosion, the video opens on a still slightly sooty-looking Varian and Fern. They're both looking pretty sheepish after that mess. Varian clears his throat.]
So uh...you might have noticed the explosion earlier in the Zodiac Apartments. Sorry, that was- I was examining one of those peaches we got from the spirit realm. Zodiac seemed so determined to get their hands on one I-I wanted to figure out what they were about. See if I could maybe reverse engineer one to counteract whatever it is Zodiac plans to do with them. But uh-
[He waves his hand, to show that it kind of...went wrong. Obviously. ]
But sometimes junk goes boom. It's the price of doing good science.
[Fern no, that isn't how science works at all, don't play favourites just because Varian was the one who caused it.]
It doesn't look like anyone got hurt. And the explosion was kinda sick! Who knew fruit could do that??
[Varian's kind of casually covering his face with his hands as Fern decidedly plays favourites on their apology tour. He lets out a soft whine, and then looks at the camera again.]
Anyway, Fern's right, I definitely didn't expect it to have...uh explosive properties. I think the damage was largely contained to our place, but if anyone else's apartments were damaged please let us know, we'll come and help fix it up or pay for the damages. Sorry.
[He clears his throat again. He's agreed to sort out the damages for his and Fern's place with Zodiac, but he is NOT gonna voice that right now. He has a chance to figure out what Zodiac are about, maybe even find a way to sabotage what they're doing. But he's no stranger to treason- if he announces to the whole network what he's planning, Zodiac will know in an instant. He hates hiding the truth, it's against what he believes in, but this time it's necessary. ]
So um- important thing to glean from this if you have one? Do not eat the peach. And definitely don't touch the peach juices or breathe in any of the peach dust because that's...bad.
[Aw, Fern is just going to give Varian a reassuring pat on the shoulder. As far as he's concerned it wasn't a huge deal - some stuff got smashed, sure, but his swords survived and the four of them (Fern, Varian, Ruddiger and his new fomantis) are all fine. He wasn't super attached to the apartment, either.
Sorting out the damages with Zodiac is a whole other kettle of fish that he doesn't want to think about right now.]
Yeahhh. Dunno if anyone actually ate the peach, but ever since it exploded in our faces we've both been feeling a lot - man, how do I describe it? - clingier? To areas in the city that have gates. Those're where the spirit veins run, right?
[He doesn't know, he isn't an expert here.]
But it's probably nothing!
[[OOC: Available for action or network, whatever you like! If you choose action, please be aware if your character comes into contact with any peach juice or vapors they will have to deal with the consequences listed here]]
...They might not, in fact, have got this.]
Network: Video UN:trienemybest/fern
[A few hours after the explosion, the video opens on a still slightly sooty-looking Varian and Fern. They're both looking pretty sheepish after that mess. Varian clears his throat.]

Jan. 20th, 2023 08:31 amWHO: Will and everyone else!
WHERE: Network
WHEN: January 20th
WHAT: It's time for everyone's favorite monthly dose of prophecies!
WARNINGS: None so far
[Look at that, it's a rare Will Solace making a post! He seems relaxed and calm as always.]
Hey, everyone. Some of you know me, but I'll introduce myself since we got some new people. I'm Will Solace. I'm taking over making a seer announcement for August this time. Probably next time, too. No, August, I'm not taking no for an answer on that, either. You know exactly what cards I'll play if you protest.
[Don't make him publicly say it this time, August.]
Moving right along, about February... one of us saw blades of grass in a kinda childlike wonder. Another saw a fire, but it was more like a campfire or bonfire. Something warm and positive, you know?
[He thinks for a second.]
August's tarot card was the Lovers reversed. Basically, all the relationship problems you see in romance movies and novels. Lack of communication between partners, lots of arguing, things like that. Oh, terrible choices was one he wanted highlighted, but I think that's almost everyone's everyday.
Lastly, my dream showed me getting attacked in the dark. I couldn't really see if it was dark as in nighttime, or even what attacked me. I just know something will. That said, to clarify, it's not necessarily me, personally, that'll get attacked. It's just that my dreams are always in first person, so it feels like it's me when it might not be.
So, now you know what we know.

Jan. 2nd, 2023 09:15 amWHO: Danny and Anyone
WHERE: Libra App
WHEN: Jan 2, Afternoon
WHAT: Danny got multiple pun books for Christmas. Kaisou suffers the consequences. Also something weird is happening when he touches metal, but probably nothing to worry about.
WARNINGS: Puns
[Danny appears in the video feed, with a decidedly mischievous grin. He is wearing a black hoodie that has a bone and "I Found This Humerus" printed on it. It felt appropriate for today. If you looked closely, his ears have taken on a small but noticeable point, mostly concealed by his hair.]
Hey guys. Everyone have a ice holiday? Now that the rest of winter is here, its time to freeze the day. Because snow happens weather you like it or not. I'm just saying it like icy it.
[Danny grins at the camera, with a grin that says that he knew exactly what he'd just done, and he had no regrets. Without thinking he leans forward on the desk, and his hand touches a part of the desk frame that was made out of metal. He lets out a pained sound and quickly pulls his hand back, shaking it to relieve the sting.]

UN: Zodiac | Happy New Year!
Dec. 31st, 2022 10:46 pmWHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Libra App
WHEN: January 1st
WHAT: Zodiac Network Post
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.]

Jonathan, Nick, Jamie, Larry, Morpheus, and Kanade have joined the app. Say hi everyone!
Demyx, Five, Sora, Cale, Cecil and Althea have left the app.
[The post then continues on as normal.]
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. ]

This post has been sponsored by Milliways Bar! Come end the year and the universe with us!
[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. ]
