WHO: August and you
WHERE: Gemini
WHEN: Late March
WHAT: Prophecy!!
WARNINGS: August swears? Other folks do too.

[The post opens on August once again in his sewing room, but this one's in Meropide. Look, he spends a good 90% of his time sewing, okay? This happens. Julian, his raven familiar, is holding up the Four of Wands, upright, in his beak as August is working on something. (If you're in the elopement party, you might recognize it as August's best man attire.)]

So I've done my reading for Kaisou for next month, and at least on my end it's a good one. Four of Wands, at least upright, is like...home and celebration and parties and stability. The kind of thing you wanna see after the last couple of months. [And with his best friend's elopement-that's-totally-not-a-small-elopement coming up

August looks up from his his work, rolling his neck.]

And for any new folks on the app: yeah this is a thing. We have a whole group of seers, we all check in to try and get the lay of the land for the upcoming month, no we don't get any specifics because that's not how this works.

[A beat.]

I mean, most of the time we don't. Sometimes it's pretty fucking clear.

WHO: Damien 'Shadow' Lait
WHERE: Libra
WHEN: End of March
WHAT: Someone from Zodiac is now on the app
WARNINGS: Jesters

MY CITIZENS, MY PUPILS, MY DENIZENS, MY NPCS!

At last, the main character has arrived! Damien Lait--but please, just call me Shadow. Cute little nickname from when I was but a wee thing.

Ladies, Fellas, and everything in between, please hold your applause, I can only take so much.

Now, you may not know me, and that's a good thing! You see, I'm the guy--the unsung hero, if you will--that handles all that pesky little legal work behind everything you do in Zodiac's name. From your cute little explosions to your insanely annoying slip ups.

Really, it's nothing.

And all you isekai's out there? Wanna know how you're able to get on an airplane? All thanks to moi! I'm the one making up your histories.

You cannot pursue me with legal action on this.

I was content with my life filled with labours of love, until inspiration struck. I should get to know the people I'm representing! Something something community something something.

So why don't we start off with...YOU GUESSED IT! AN... (drumroll please)

I. C . E. B. R. E. A. K. E. R!!!!!

Awww, I can see the looks on your faces...the existential dread rising up through your body so it can leave this mortal plane....WELL SHOVE IT BACK IN! If you think mine are ANYTHING like that two bit hack that can't toe the legal line. Well. That's your problem.

Get those TUSHES ready!

P.S. See Janet? I can do it, too.

PPPPPPPPP.S. I know you're out there, you HALF-BAKED loser!

I need some perspective.

Specifically, I'm looking for other "Isekai" [The word is unfamiliar in her mouth.] people who've started to get memories. The longer you've been at it, the better, but... I'm not in a position to be picky.

How do you reconcile it? The past... life, and this one? How have you been coping?

What's the common wisdom, on this?

My door is open, and I'm free all this afternoon, to talk.

WHO: Elphaba Thropp and you!
WHERE: Libra, cross-posted onto Gemini (thanks Noct)
WHEN: over the weekend
WHAT: your new professor is here!
WARNINGS: none I can think of.

[The video opens on green. A lot of green. Okay—green covered with black and dark blues, but what you can see of Elphaba is just so much green, and a stern face under the black bucket hat she's wearing.]

Good morning. My name is Elizabeth Brooks. I'll be teaching European folklore studies at Kaisou University this year. Let's get some things out of the way first: no, this isn't a skin condition, though I know most non-supernatural students may see it as such. No, I didn't eat grass as a child, you can ask Lia. No, neither did my mother. Yes, I'm well aware who I look like and I would rather you didn't mention the title Wizard of Oz near me.

Students of the app, I'll be uploading the syllabus soon. If you want to consult me for accommodations or schedule a meeting you may contact me through this app or through the e-mail I'll link in the syllabus.

Thank you for your time. The floor is open for questions.

[She pauses, then absently:]

Lia, do tell me what your boyfriend's allergic to so I know to avoid cooking those when he shows up.

WHO: Jax and you!
WHERE: Libra app
WHEN: 22nd March
WHAT: Jax returns to the app and this is everyone's problem now.
WARNINGS: None so far.

Hey losers, your favourite corporate wage slave is back! APPARENTLY, Janet got so peeved that I blocked her from the app once that she complained to HR and they decided me being put back on this hellscape was fitting punishment. Freaking rude if you ask me.

So that's what I get for helping get the word out for kidnapped people, no good deed, amiright? Anyway, I know you're all super delighted to have me back again. Don't gush about it all at once. What'd I miss?

WHO: Bakugou and Till
WHERE: A simple music store in central-ish Kaisou
WHEN: 3/14
WHAT: Bakugou needs to make money. Till needs some band members. This has led to an unexpected band tryout and the reveal that Bakugou, much to the detriment of everyone else in the world, is good at just about everything he tries.
WARNINGS: Language, a teenager being mean, and who knows what else! Will update as it goes.

( This can only go well )

Who: Cifera and you!
Where: Chateau De Minuit
When: March 17th
What: A Party
Warnings: gambling and drinking

[As people approach Chateau De Minuit they are greeted to the front of the casino lit up with green lights. The giant skeleton that holds the sign is dressed in a bright green suit with a matching top hat, around its neck are what look like green mardi gras beads. The greeters at the entrance are dressed to match the skeleton and are handing out gift bags as people walk up.]

[For the first few hours Cifera is standing on the roof, dressed in a black three piece suit with green accents, greeting people as they approach. Her arms are outstretched in greeting and she currently has a very theatrical demeanor.]

Good evening friends and guests to Chateau De Minuit’s St Patricks Day Bash. Come in and enjoy yourselves, there is much to do and don’t forget to grab a gift bag on your way inside!

WHO: Sampo + Husk
WHERE: Sampo's wild ever-changing house.
WHEN: Early March
WHAT: We're gonna find out some shit.
WARNINGS: Life Crisis, comedy, some colorful swear words more than definitely

[ He'd invited Husk out to do this a while ago back, but what with the chaos going on in the city, everyone worrying about their friends being taken by REUINION, Sampo had reasonably pushed off the hangout with Husk until everything was said and done. Their friends home and safe--he figured this might be a good mood pick-me-up after ... everything. Something to keep his own worry off his friends who had both been stolen by the left-behind dregs of the Black Order.

Usually it's a race between himself, Mydei, Gilgamesh, and Anaxa to see who could find the most interesting rooms first thing in the morning. But today he's told his roommates to settle for the day so he could show off the insane place to his 'best buddy Husk.'

Fortunately, they were all mostly agreeable, even if they're all three insane people.
So here Sampo Stands, in the great and fancy Foyer, a pair of Sereniteapots sitting on a table in the middle--he grins at the cat-like grump, hands on his hips. ]

So that's the basics of it. Find a room that's locked, better hope we found a key. I got a few gemstones in my pockets to open gem doors, but, if we use 'em all and find more gem doors, we're screwed til we double back.

Any other questions, my fine feline friend?~

( Lean On Me )

Happy Saturday!

I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!

If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Libra App
WHEN: March 14th
WHAT: Zodiac Network Post
WARNINGS: None!

[We've reached the second half of March. While the wind is still gusting, the temperature is closer to a chilly spring. Everyone's devices will emit a soothing wind chime sound as a new Zodiac post appears. The chime will sound even if you have your phone turned off or on silent, and will not stop until you read their message and comment to it.]

Varka

Varka, Aria, Vani, and Yixuan have joined the app. Say hi everyone!

Jane Doe

Jane D., Wei Wuxian, Vex'ahlia and Ivan have left the app.

Hello. Thank you for using the Libra App.

Happy White Day. Or Happy Pi Day. Or both. Whatever it is you celebrate, I was just told to send a holiday message even though it's a Saturday. And no, I don't have pie or chocolates for any of you.

Heads up, the Fae are in town and are planning something. They're insisting they are here to help. I don't know how they intend to help, but we'll find out soon enough. I'd say don't do anything to get yourself cursed, but you probably will anyway.

And okay, I've worked long enough to get paid for a full hour of overtime- so I'm off. Bye.

This post is sponsored by The Pie Hole! Bring the spark of your relationship back to life with one of our pies!

[As a quick note, the Event log shall be going up tomorrow!

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. ]

WHO: Anaxa and anyone else awake to witness this
WHERE: Zodiac
WHEN: approx. 4:30 in the morning, mid-March
WHAT: the professor is doing science
WARNINGS: he’s eating dirt does that count

[ Professor Anaxa does not, in any way, realize that he’s broadcasting his late-night science experiments to the network. He likely intended to record this session for the purposes of referring back to it later, as one must when conducting such vital research as this.

Since growing accustomed to the city, and its now-native dromas population, he’s begun to worry about their health. Are they eating properly? Is the soil around them providing all of the nutrients that they need to flourish? Is the young calf among the herd getting what she needs to build the necessary muscultition, spiracuity, and charisplendor to grow into a fine young adult? Anaxa has decided that he simply must find out. Which leads him and any of his (un)fortunate bystanders to this:

Anaxagoras is taste-testing the dirt.

It’s the obvious route forward, he believes. He’s collected clean, untouched samples of soil from several areas around the park where the dromas herd has taken residence. On the surface, each one seems fine enough—one of them even takes a similar red hue to the redsoil they would so happily eat in Amphoreus. But the only way to know if it’s really what they need is to cross-check and compare it to what he recalls of his notes studying the stuff back home—which is quite a lot, thank you, his memory is fantastically keen. And indeed, he’s written several pages already over a few samples that have already been set to the side. And… spilled on the floor. It’s fine. He’ll get to it. Eventually.

At present, he’s testing a bit of one of his smaller samples of red soil (not to be confused with redsoil, of course), his pen gripped tightly in one hand as he stirs up the loose dirt with the other. It may not be glamourous work. His hands may be stained several different colors already. But he is determined to see it through. ]

The texture is much akin to loose clay… though there are prominent notes of iron as well. But it’s… missing something. But what…?
