WHO: Waver + semi-open
WHERE: The network/his apartment
WHEN: over 5/18~5/20ish
WHAT: he might have been asleep since the bossfight
WARNINGS: None yet, will mark subject lines appropriately

[5/18 action; closed to diarmuid]

[For not the first time, the world was the black of a dreamless sleep pulsing red agony with the rhythm of a heartbeat. Burning heat--of a lessening fever, not a cataclysmic inferno. Agony, but of a deep full-body ache rather than a narrowly averted death; the kind that warned him not to move, because he still had strength enough to do that. The pull of a contract like an anchor around his neck; still there, which was all that mattered to him.]

[What was it that had happened? Somewhere between sleeping and waking, Waver tried to piece together what he could remember. A knight in silver? No...no, this wasn't the pain of mortal injury and broken bones., but the exhaustion and burn of mana deprivation. If he focused on that, he could start to recall what had transpired-]

[Hear the song of fury-]

[--The tower, the Shadows, the Black Order, that goddamned clown. Reality began to creep its way back into his head as he stirred with a quiet groan of pain, arm draped heavily over his eyes.]


...did we win?

[Early into the evening on the 18th, a quick sign of life popped up on the network:]

un: silverrose

still alive

glad to know thats settled with minimal casualties

things will get worse before they get better so be cautious


[5/20 action; closed to ritsuka]

[Once he was actually able to move safely, a little bird flew its way to Hyrule--Diarmuid had told him where to find her, and it was an easy enough path to trace from the air. Easier still where letting the curse take over meant he didn't have to walk.]

[However he got there, the small phoenix fluttered in and landed on the ground before transforming in a flash of fire, back to a worn out-looking Waver in casual clothes and with a bag hanging off his shoulder.]


Hey, kid. How're you doing?

oh, this is on. well, it won't hurt to ask. ]


If there is anyone skilled in the removal of unwanted applications seek me out. [ how are they going to do that, xiao?? ] My own efforts in removing this have done very little.

[ maybe introducing himself will help facilitate the removal of this app? how else are people to seek him out. ]

WHO: Vash + You
WHERE: Libra App
WHEN: Today!
WHAT: Asking to see a man about an arm
WARNINGS: likely talk about robo-arm dismemberment

[ the video feed is going to open up with the image of a frumpy looking man that might take a moment to recognise as the usually spiky-haired, red-coat wearing flashy ace gunman that's been in the city for nearly two months, now.
He's wearing a crooked smile, eyes not quite looking at the camera as an expression sort of like sheepishness passes across his face.

The camera tilts down to the table He's sitting at, showing the image of two things--an arm, clad in leather and recognisable as wearing the glove Vash always did. But the tilted angle also shows where his arm should be--broken off at the elbow, with a few loose wires that have been attempted to tuck up into bits of broken metal. A moment later, the camera pans back up to his face, which has gotten redder with embarrassment. ]


So, um.
Hiiiiii. Guys. It's me, your favorite Humanoid Typhoon here, just a quick question.
I get that you guys here are from the 21st century, and you don't really have the technology here that I'm used to. Most people prrrrrobably didn't even know my arm was fake up until this point? Anyway, that's not important, I lost it when I was really young, so I'm used to it.
Sort of. Broke it plenty back home too, but it wasn't such an issue back home.

...So, uh. I'm willing to look into a downgrade, giving I know this technology definitely. Doesn't super exist here. And I'm not sure your world's magic can fix this, either. But if any of you got any ideas how I can at least get a functioning hand back, I'd appreciate it.
I think Wolfwood and Libra doing all my chores for me lately is definitely unfair.

...Also if any of you want some free apples, please let me know. I'm starting to run out of baskets to collect them all, lately.

WHEN: April 15th
WHAT: Zodiac Network Post
WARNINGS: None!

[We've reached the middle of April. By now, the folks who were trapped in their own personal dungeons have been rescued, and the peach has been recovered from Zodiac and destroyed. Undertown has gone back to normal, while Zodiac's been very quiet. The post begins like the previous one had, with notifications of peoples coming and goings]


Dante Vergil Wolfwood Kara
Dante, Vergil, Nicholas, and Kara have joined the app. Say hi everyone!

Hello. Thank you for using the Libra App.

It's me again. Could you stop telling people I'm dead? I was just visiting my family out of state and I forgot to turn off the auto-post function, for crying out loud. Have none of you people ever heard of taking a vacation?

Anyway, I'm not sure what happened, but there's something going on with head honchos. They cancelled their big announcement and took the rest of the month off, citing that "they deeply regret their greed-filled actions and wish to take time to reflect". I was skeptical at first, but then they offered to increase everyone's pay and give us a better benefits package. There's even been talk of donating to charity, and not just for tax purposes. It's like all of board members had a change of heart.

Well, the surviving ones. Two of the board members died all of sudden. It was a pretty grisly way to go, black fluid started coming out of their eyes and then they keeled over. No one knows what happened, but it's got a lot of people freaked out. There's been sanitation crews and exorcisms all over the place.

Crap, I rambled. Anyway, Zodiac's going through some restructuring so if you don't hear from us for a bit that's why. And seriously you weirdos, stop saying I'm dead.



This post is sponsored by Victory Road Trainers. Get into shape using the help of animal companions!


[Well that was weird.

Anyway, 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.

Note: Even if the event is over ICly, please feel free to continue backtagging the event logs for the month!]

WHO: Vergil Vittore and You
WHERE: Libra App
WHEN: BACKDATED to 4/3, before the metaverse stuff starts.
WHAT: Vergil giving a polite ask to bring him things but also stop bothering him
WARNINGS: none, will update if needed.

[ A voice yet unfamiliar to those on the Libra App will cut in at some point in the late evening, the sound of a throat being cleared, making sure his voice would be properly audible when he gets his message out on this... Libra App. Thing. ]

I hope your evening finds you well. For those who do not recognise me, by either the picture that this strange app has seen fit to take of me, or my voice, my name is Vergil Vittore. Mr. Vittore, for those who aren't well aquainted with me, please.

I am the owner and runner of Auguries of Innocence down within Shopping Street. Many of you may recognise the shop, newly opened about two, perhaps three weeks ago as a place to buy and sell magical or non-magical artifacts of interest--usually my interest, at this point, but I digress.

I am aware of the plight that has happened to the city in recent with this App--it is part of the reason I have sought not to use it thus far, and half because I've been too busy for something like social interaction over social media while I established my shop in this city.

But, to the point.

1. Stop coming into my shop and asking to borrow, buy, or rent my rare weaponry or defensive items for your own needs. As the sign says, these items are antiques or for display only, and I'm very exasperated at this point at many beings' attempts to come and try to curry something rare off me with the argument of 'but I need it.' You do not. It is mine.

2. No, I will not be joining anyone in your odd foray into the unknown dangers of whatever it is that plights this city. Yes, it does concern me and yes, I am aware that it affects me too. However, I am a collector, not a fighter. So I'm not willing to risk my very mortal life for some act of heroism just because I have an arsenal of interesting weaponry at my disposal.

And 3. , I suppose, I will take this time to mention that yes, if you have any items of interest, you may indeed bring them to my shop and I will appraise them either for your own interest or, perhaps if I'm interested in buying them. I likewise buy old books and paintings, so I'm in the market for those as well--once again, so long as it interests me.

That is all.

Goodluck with your forays, and stop bothering me. And have a good evening.

WHERE: Network
WHEN: Mid-April, after palace things have chilled out
WHAT: Intro post
WARNINGS: n/a for now

[ Presumably after the palace things have happened, there's a new person on the network. Everyone will be greeted with a friendly face, and Kara's holding her phone with the camera facing her. She looks a little flustered, but she manages a wave before she speaks. ]

'Sup! Uh, I'm Kara, I'd drop my socials here but I just got this app, and it told me to introduce myself! I'm pretty sure most of my accounts are just "kbear", and I stream games sometimes. If you like RPGs and MMOs, stop by the channel – it's just "kbear" again – and say hi!

[ This girl is blissfully unaware of everything that's happened. Isn't that nice...

There's also someone who looks very familiar who happens to pass by in the background. That person is...Shio! Another newcomer.
]

Yeah, I wasn't aware that a new social media app called Zodiac existed, so sorry for the choppy intro. Whoops! See you guys around!

[ At the mention of "Zodiac", though, Shio stops dead in his tracks and turns to look towards Kara and, subsequently, the camera. His face looks like that of a man who's had a terrible realization dawn on him. There's only one thing that can be heard after Kara's introduction coming from his mouth: ]

Oh, no.

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. ]

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. ]

[Hello hello, Libra app. It's everyone's favorite time of the month: Read That Prophecy!!

Yeah, August looks stressed as fuck when he starts the video.]


I don't think anyone really needs me to tell 'em what's coming next month but I've been threatened with my best friend and my brother if I don't [thanks Will] so...anyway. First: for the new folks on the app hi. I'm August, your resident tailor, half-demon crazy bird guy. I also do tarot, the tarot is never wrong, and near the end of the month I start getting a warning from cards about the shit to come. We have a couple of other seers here as well, they just get regular ass visions.

[A sigh.]

And like, we all know what's going to happen next month, yeah? Zodiac has a fucking peach of immortality they're trying to turn into immortal peach juice. They're actual fucking demons, for fuck's sake. How the fuck did I miss actual fucking--

[Nope, not right now. He takes a deep breath and grabs the notes he took when the others shared their visions.]

Anyway. One of us saw thorns and--I'm not describing what he saw, it's fucked. Another one of us had a solitary confinement nightmare, and the other had them holding a busted gun before they faded away. I got the upright Devil. Addiction, materialism--that's fucking obvious--but also powerlessness and oppression, depending on where it shows up. Given the visions, both meanings are probably fitting here. I dunno what the hell is happening with whatever Jusis said he put in a request for, but for fuck's sake be careful.

...Of course it's after uploading the picture with the post that Yasuho realizes this isn't her usual chat client. Actually she doesn't know what this app is. Quick browsing says open forum. Open forum she can't delete from. And she can't just say 'ignore this'! That would just do the opposite!

No!!!

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.
