Some target practice at Meripode

Who: Semmelweis and whoever happens to be there
Where: Meripode
When: mid January
What: some target practice
Warnings: none

[Semmelweis summoned the bow from her phone, the mechanisms while foreign came to her rather easily. She noted how similar its function was to various arcana she was familiar with, though its differences are what really made it set in that she was not in the same existence she was just a month ago. She drew the bow back and aimed at the target, proceeding to miss her first shot.]

I suppose it has been a bit since that particular style of archery was popular.

[Mind you a bit has probably only been a year since she is 19 and perception of time is weird like that]

shelter at the vogue

Who: James + Any who frequents the area!
Where: The Vogue
When: Early/Mid Janurary, evening of James's arrival in Kaisou
What: James is in need of shelter and work and The Vogue seems like a place where he could get both.
Warnings: n/a

[Thankfully, the young man was at least fairly tech savvy and not opposed to long walks. It had been awhile since he had his last job opportunity. It was always temp agencies, odd jobs, and such that kept him afloat. Stability was sorely needed for James.

He felt right at home walking up to the joint. It reminded him of one of the first cities he ended up in after running away.

Should he go in through the front? James wasn't sure. He felt nervous, unworthy, silly...

Oh, fuck it. Worst they can do is kick him out.

James has entered The Vogue Theatre. Now he had to find that really good centaur costume...]

Un: Zodiac | Mid-Month Update

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Libra App
WHEN: January 18th
WHAT: Zodiac Network Post
WARNINGS: None!

[We've reached the second half of January. The weather continues to be bitterly cold, especially for those who just came back from warm, warm Spain. Though many may be distracted, as the Rescue March operation is underway. 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.]

Dante

Dante, Semmelweis, Audrey, Shepard, Garrus, Hanami, and James have joined the app. Say hi everyone!

Ventus

Ventus, Amaimon, and Zephyr have left the app.

Hello. Thank you for using the Libra App.

I was hoping to get away with not posting anything, but Janet snitched. Ugh. Feels like she's in a worse mood than usual since some of our coworkers got to go to Spain. It's not like I went, why is she taking it out on me?

Whatever.

There's been reports of weird crystal formations appearing in the Kanto Realm- or Tera Crystals I guess. Don't touch them if you don't want to be dragged into a pocket dimension with a pissed off big pokemon. Only Pokemon abilities seem to work in them. Just looking at these things give me a stress I can't explain, so I'm staying away from them. But I'm sure you guys won't leave them alone.

Also good luck to everyone off to recover that girl from the Spirit Realm. Zodiac is keeping an eye on the situation in case it turns into another "black hole on the edge of town", but we'll probably stay out of the way. Contact our main office number if you need any assistance or want to get hooked up with a therapist after whatever happens in there. Stay safe, I guess.

Anyway, that meets word count so I'm out. Bye.

This post is sponsored by Paldea Subs! Assemble sandwiches your way that both you and your Pokemon will love!

[As of now, Tera Crystals can be found in the Kanto region! Take your best pokemon teams to fight hostile pokemon within and recover Herba Mystica. In addition, by there are job fliers on various job boards offering temp jobs for a shady group called REUNION. Not much is known about the group, but it's speculated to be a cult.

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. ]

Operation: Saving Private March

WHO: March 7th, Evernight, and you!
WHERE: outside of Caleb and March's house, and then in the Spirit Realm!
WHEN: a weekend in mid-January!
WHAT: time to save March 7th from her unexpected journey through the Spirit Realm!
WARNINGS: allusions to past horror, murder, and character deaths in one part, trauma and general fantasy violence, risk of injury. HSR 3.6 spoilers.

It’s cold out. Your shoes slip a little on the slush that's slicking up the sidewalk.

I found March, Evernight had said, not quite pleading the network for help, but not not pleading. Not quite hoping for her plea to be heard, but not not hoping. Now she stands outside Caleb and March’s house, two jellyfish floating breezily around her, and she looks as composed and calm as ever as she twirls her dark umbrella, even as a gate to the Spirit Realm gapes ominously beside her. She smiles eerily on seeing people arriving, then tilts her head to the gate.

“She’s in there,” she says. “I’ve figured out the fastest way to get to her, but I can’t guarantee the kind of shape she’ll be in when we find her. I can tell you this: it won’t be easy.” She opens her umbrella. “Get yourselves ready.”

Who: James & Any
Where: Blue Fish Park
When: Early/Mid January
What: Mildly freaking out & hungry
Warnings: N/A

So, uh, can anyone point me to a shelter, maybe? And maybe the nearest temp agency to said shelter?

[After his understandable freaking out had settled a bit, James figured it would be best to take this as a new opportunity. A new city. He could work with that. He just didn't expect to see the Northern Lights. How far up north was he now? He wasn't really sure.]

[But more than that... he was seeing some of the best cosplays he had ever seen. Dog ears that twitched, tails that wagged? He was pretty sure he saw a centaur, too. That's what he told himself, anyway. This was weird and probably a dream. But he was still hungry...]

march 7th

text; un: evernight

WHO: ~~March 7th~~ Evernight and you!
WHERE: Libra and Gemini!
WHEN: mid-January weekend
WHAT: Saving Private March is go!
WARNINGS: possible HSR 3.6 spoilers! also Evernight can be a touch Unsettling.

Good day, my dears~ Ready to hear some good news? It's a touch startling coming from me, I know, but it is good news. Mostly.

I found March.

[Cards on the table, right out the gate.]

She's currently trapped in the Spirit Realm, but I've found a way to get to her before it swallows her whole. Ordinarily I'd simply force my way in and get her out, but the Spirit Realm isn't like the memoria I'm used to working with. Brute-forcing it might work, but it's too much of a gamble—and with March's life at stake, it isn't one I'm willing to make.

So here I am: asking for your help.

March loves this world, dearly. Help me get her back here, so she can continue to live freely and well, in this world that she's calling home.

I'll be waiting just outside her place.

Evernight ♩
