WHO: Jusis and everyone else!
WHERE: Gemini Network
WHEN: 7/22, during the day
WHAT: It's the Prophecy Post, but with a brand new face this time.
WARNINGS: General creepy factor for some of these

[Jusis has been lying low since the raids happened, and has been making frequent visits to the Fortress of Meropide to check some things out. Now, though, he's ready to make a public appearance as one of the seers behind the prophecy posts. He's currently outside the Crystal Tower, looking as severe as he always does.]

For those new here, my name is Jusis Albarea. I'm a prosecuting attorney and I've been the Guardian assigned to Kaisou since January 2023. And... since April 2023, I've developed my own power to see the future. I've been contributing to the prophecy post anonymously since then in an effort to not allow The Black Order to know that I have this ability.

[Now, though, it doesn't matter anymore since he's about to take the fight to The Order.]

Without further ado, I will describe all the visions we have received as well as an explanation for the attacks this month.

August's Tarot card has revealed The Death in the upright position, indicating that change is about to happen. It will be perilous, however, so we should not discount the literal meaning behind the card as well. Nito described a building that matches what those assigned to the Azhdaha Mission said Asgard looked like, and I heard music that I was told was "Megalovania." Some kind of 'boss music.'

[Please, he's not a gamer. Have mercy.]

Takame described a pair of glowing, ethereal wings made of light; Caesar's warned of a library where all the books had eyes on them and were watching us; Wolfwood saw a large, intricately designed lance; Jinwoo was given an image of three dragons spiraling together to form a large circle in a blood red sky; and, lastly, Cotton knitted... well, this on a sweater:

[Jusis pans the camera down to the sweater the local cookie grandma knitted with a masked individual on it.]

Now... the raids that happened this month, as well as the attack from the Fortress of Meropide, have all been because my team and I have been planning a rebellion since the beginning of this year. Many of us in The Order have been coerced into joining, and others are beyond reason in their loyalty to The Order's cause. My goal is to change The Black Order from the ground up, but I'm going to need your help to pull it off. Even with all the people I can call in to help with the rebellion from within The Order, it won't be enough to overthrow the Unyielding. ...Especially if one of the Unyielding is the person I'm thinking of from my past life.

If you are willing to help in the rebellion, I will gladly have you.

Thank you for your time.

WHO: Dickson
WHERE: Libra app
WHEN: 4/22 backdated
WHAT: Another new TBO person is here
WARNINGS: His mouth, jokes about his name, jokes about weed.

[Another new face has arrived, friends! This one less cheerful looking as he clicks the feed on. An older man that looked like he walked straight out of the 70's stoner phase and never left appears and just rubs at his temples under that nice red bandana of his. He began to speak with a thick Northern English accent and a kind of grit that came from many years of smoking.]

I could've been here days ago, but a right clown decided he was gonna tell me the wrong time for his layover in Europe. And then he goes off on wanting a vacation. Ain't that a son of a bitch? [ASHIYAOTHY DOUMANINGTON, LOOKING RIGHT AT YOU, so to speak. He shook his head and leaned back in his chair, waving a hand in a gesture of dismissal..]

Ah well, anyway. Dickson's the name. Yeah, yeah, get all your jokes out I've heard a million of 'em and got a million more for you. [Said with a bit of a good-natured smirk. The air of someone who couldn’t beat 'em so joined 'em.] I’m with the clown. Ashiya Douman. Another from the Black Order. I’ve been with 'em a good while, but my side hustle is making weapons. Fire arms, swords, shields, you name it, Al Dickson makes it.

Feels like they got me on another long reassignment, so you lot need anything made and I'll make it right quick for you. Won't come cheap, but nothing does in this day and age now does it? A man's gotta eat. Hahahaha.

Gonna need a bit to get myself settled though, I'll say when I'm open for business.

[He carried the air of someone confident in that skill at least. And to be fair the man's got a point! He's gotta eat! For all intents and purposes nothing about his offer carried suspicion, it was a genuine offer and considering this town was dangerous it might be a good avenue to take, even.]

[[ So kind of like with Douman, people who know Dickson either through past lives or through TBO itself will have very vague memories of him. Dickson is well known for knowing just about everyone in a place passively so it’s very likely they’d just remember him as a guy in their periphery just not one they talked to for too long. Like a random inconsequential encounter you had on a Tuesday mid-morning while you were passing by the water cooler, that kind of vague recollection. ]]

WARNINGS: WHO KNOWS WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT IN POST

The meeting )
noblerise: (I don't know where to put my love)
[personal profile] noblerise
WHO: Jusis and You!
WHERE: Libra
WHEN: After the Zodiac post
WHAT: Well, Jusis got a concerning message and now he's opening up an investigation.
WARNINGS: Discussions of murder!

[God, this is spiraling out of control in a way even a toddler could predict. Jusis had been staring at the message he received from The Black Order as he tried to figure out what the fuck he's going to do, let alone say to the network at large.

Last chance, huh. Then he'd best make the most of it.

When the video comes on, he looks serious. He's no longer dressed as a lawyer, but in his Black Order uniform.]


I've been assigned personally to investigate the case of Guardian Teresa Hathorne's death by The Order. As such, I will be acting in an official capacity as Guardian Albarea.

[Meaning that he has to do this regardless of how he personally feels about it. Jusis has to be professional and take this seriously, at least until he can figure out what, exactly, he's going to do.]

I have already taken over the mundane investigation into her death. I can't give specifics on the case and neither can I tell you what phase we are currently at. However, any witness statements or tips can be sent to myself, Guardian Ayato, or Guardian Kennedy either with your name attached or anonymously.

While The Order takes compliance extremely seriously and will take all statements made on the Libra app with just as much weight, understand that we will be treating you with dignity and with as much rights as is possible given the circumstances. The Order has the reputation it does for a reason. Please, do not give me cause to put that reputation to the proof.

[He hates this job so much sometimes. Jusis is being put in a position where he's going to take a fall no matter what. Again.

The blond pauses for beat before sighing in exasperation.]


And for the love of God, stop taking leaves out of Amal Vasiya's book by talking about your crimes on the goddamn app in public.

WHO: Jinwoo + some of his friends/coworkers
WHERE: Several Places in Kaisou
WHEN: the first two are backdated to november, the third is mid-december
WHAT: A well-needed talk, a sidequest, and a christmas gift gone wrong
WARNINGS: probably some heavy talk about past lives in the one with Lapis+Jusis

//__- a well needed talk (Closed to Lapis + Jinwoo + Jusis )||

[ there's something uniquely uncomfortable about being here--doing this. Long time ago; he'd settled himself with the idea that the Black Order was his home; he had nowhere else because he didn't have anyone else. The contract he'd signed took away his family, his life--and he'd started to just let the idea that this was his life now sink into his bones.

It's amazing how those sorts of feelings can be shaken when you create new bonds with people; after convincing yourself that, much like your past life, you were always destined to Go Solo.
Which is why he'd asked for this meeting. Standing in front of Jusis' desk, part of him wanting to sink back and disappear into the shadows to avoid any sort of difficult talk.

He wasn't built for this. And yet. It was a conversation that needed to be done. ]


...Have you gone yourself, Jusis-nim? To the Library of Alexandria? [ he'll start here, he supposes. ] Reading a book on your own past life. ...I think it was a bad idea, but.

Lapis and I did it anyway. And we've started to ... suspect some things about our contracts with the order.
I suppose this whole thing...

I want to discuss our worries. Given the recent events, and the talks I've had with Zhongli-nim.

I think it's very dangerous for Lapis and I to continue our lives in the Order. In the future.



//__- a misadventure in mint (Closed to Lapis + Jinwoo )||

[ The most plant life he's ever taken care of in his life is his Bonsai tree. It was a quiet delicate thing--and he'd worried it would have died on his way over from florida, but it was flourishing.

But nearly not as much as all this mint was flourishing. Good fucking god. This is the third house they've been to, and the little tiny sprigs that have been very quietly poked into corners of several gardens on this street have already started to spread and grow into bigger, bushier little plants that were absolutely at risk of starting to spread into a full lawn.

Fortunately, the cold weather was making it so they weren't flourishing SO quickly. Thank god for that.

Equipped with a small spade, he's going to start to dig up the third plant since they started--waving lapis over to bring one of the little terracotta pots they'd brought to re-home the things. ]


If these had been planted during the summer...

I think they might be out of control by now.



//__- calculating risks (Closed to Ritsuka + Jinwoo )||
[ it's odd, getting used to life in the city again after spending nearly two months out to sea, and it's especially rough when you've come home to. A goddamn mess of a city that was definitely not this Fucked Up when you left.

He knows part of the issue had been dropping that giant dragon they'd been aiming to go rescue in the middle of the city--but it wasn't the only part of the city that'd been messed the hell up.

Maybe that's part of why he'd asked Ritsuka to meet up--he wanted to ask one of his few friends outside of the order what happened, as well as deliver a gift to her--some chocolate he'd bought in Denmark, and a gift meant to be saved until Christmas.

Both items are carefully packed away in a little bag he carries, and he stands outside one of the few cafes that wasn't goddamned destroyed during the demon's rampage through the city, waiting for his red-headed friend to arrive.

...Little does he know that the gift he brought comes with another, less desirable gift. ]

WHO: The Black Order's Kaisou Team
WHERE: A rented out rec room.
WHEN: End of November
WHAT: Jusis suspects that they're about to get recruitment orders because of all the people who have left the team recently. He calls an all-hands-on-deck meeting to talk about what their strategy will be, as well as how they want to do it.
WARNINGS: Unhinged ShitTM

[Jusis is seated at one of the bigger tables, which is hopefully enough to accommodate everyone left on the team. There are snacks and drinks available since he anticipates that this is going to be a long meeting, and he's not about to have someone get hangry in the middle of the discussion. His arms are crossed in front of his chest as he looks at each of them before nodding.]

Now that everyone's here, I would like to discuss a matter with everyone. I suspect that soon The Order is going to give us recruitment orders. With how our team has abruptly shrunk, and given what happened earlier in the month, they are most likely going to have us looking at getting more people signed up for the team.

[He pauses, eyeing each of them and studying their reactions.]

That being said, my opinion is that I would rather give people the option to volunteer, and possibly to set up a parole system for those who have committed a crime magically. Given the amount of people here with magic and/or are possessed, it would be in our best interests to look into that as an option to give them a chance to prove themselves.

However, I'd like to hear what everyone else thinks, too. We need to discuss options, how to implement this system, and any concerns we may have going into this. Any problems with the process itself will need to be worked out as we go, but we can at least build a solid foundation before proceeding.

WHO: Zhongli and you
WHERE: The network
WHEN: A few days after the Azhdaha plot wraps up
WHAT: The thrilling tales of dragon sealers.
WARNINGS: None, will update if necessary.

[video;]

[Normally, Zhongli addresses the network via text because that's the preferred way. But for this... as a courtesy, as a sign of respect and gratitude, he should give the announcement the weight it deserves.

The camera feed opens to a once-lush garden where the gold leaves of the ginkgo trees are still clinging to life despite the impending winter. The hardier bushes have not changed color and have retained their leaves. There's a good mixture of plants around (if not an abundance of flowers), and the stone picnic table and 'chairs' along with the tea set give a sense of serenity.

Zhongli's expression is difficult to read, stony and almost impassive. He's wearing his usual distinctive brown coat, recently mended, and cradling a teacup in his gloved hands.]


Greetings. I know it has been some time since I spoke to the network at large. For those who have not met me, my name is Zhongli.

I wanted to thank everyone who answered Shroud's call to help subdue the dragon a few days ago. His name is Azhdaha, and he has been a close companion of mine in every life I can recall. Yet the memory of rocks is only for a short time. As an elemental spirit, Azhdaha could do little to escape that fate. Eventually he forgot himself, and only remembered the pain and rage of lifetimes ago, when humans disturbed his slumber and caused him great pain.

For those of us who are exceptionally long-lived, time whittles away our bodies and minds like the waves and wind swallow the cliffs overlooking the sea. This phenomenon is known as erosion. It affects all of us differently, but it leaves us forever changed and missing something of ourselves, until naught remains.

All things have a beginning and an end, no matter how long the life lived. This is the truth of the world.

Now Azhdaha has been sealed away inside a golden dream, where he no longer suffers the pain that drove him to madness. His suffering is ended after hundreds of years. I... cannot overstate my gratitude.

[He sets his tea down. When he looks up again his draconic eyes are sharper, an intense amber framed by the gold leaves behind him.]

I am no longer with the cruel organization that chained me. I will aid those who wish to be free of their bad faith contracts, just as I will protect this city where my heart has come to rest. This is one way I may begin to repay such a debt. You have my word—not only as Rex Lapis, but as myself.

I hope you will keep it in mind.

[He reaches forward and shuts the feed off.]

WHAT: Well, that was weird and messed up. Time to bond over it while yelling at Jusis.
WARNINGS: There shouldn't be any warnings, but boy if there are any they'll be in the subject of the thread!

[The apartment is a three-bedroom affair with a living room and a kitchen that are only separated by different floor tiling. It's somewhat comfortable for three people to live in, but it's definitely small enough to where more than five people at once feels like a crowd. Despite that, Jusis isn't going to turn away visitors.

That being said... he doesn't expect too many people, so there'll be a food Situation in that he definitely doesn't have enough snacks if there are so many people visiting him. There'll at least be tea and coffee, and tap water.

Jusis has been mostly good about resting. However, he does have moments of being very antsy, so he might try to get up and do something light, like brew a pot of tea.]

WHERE: Network
WHEN: Late-ish April
WHAT: Jusis is making a quick announcement since Yusuke and Elliot brought something important to his attention.
WARNINGS: Probably swearing, but I'll mark any other warnings!

[Jusis is definitely at home when he makes this post. So, he's technically resting! And he's not in his work clothes, either. Jusis is in what amounts to casual for him, but for anyone else he probably looks as if he stepped out of the cover of a fashion magazine for men.]

I've been informed by Elliot that apparently no one who suffered injuries were duly compensated for their medical bills. If you were injured during the incident earlier in the month, please forward any bills and receipts to me. I'll ensure that all hospital visits and medications are covered for what was sustained during it.

[He's not sure if he should say more about it or not, honestly. Jusis isn't entirely certain if that's even wanted. In the end, the blond decides that they'll probably come after him with questions or accusations or interrogations regardless of what he says, so he might as well just give them the space to come at him on their own.]

[There are already a lot of oddballs on the app, so someone showing up dressed in full armor is probably not especially notable beyond the cloak having the Black Order's logo incorporated into some of the decorative embroidery. What's maybe slightly more notable to anyone paying attention to that sort of thing is that the perspective on the camera makes the trees in the background seem... pictured at the wrong angle and almost a little too small compared to the perfectly normal distance the man looks to be from the camera.

He gives a friendly wave.]

Hello! It's nice to meet everyone. ...Or, nice to see some of you again. I don't really know how many of you were here back in May last year, or how much anyone remembers of that.

Anyhow! My name is Artorias. I'm part of the Black Order, and was just assigned here on a bit more of a permanent basis than last time, so it'll be nice to get to know everyone.

[He pauses, looking a bit down and to the side like he's thinking, then shakes his head and looks back to the camera.]

I think that covers everything for now, actually. Hope everyone has a nice day!

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.
