WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Libra App
WHEN: April 15th
WHAT: Zodiac Network Post
WARNINGS: None!

[We've reached the second half of April. On the edge of town, near the cottage- there is an increase notable drought going on. 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.]

Lio

Lio have joined the app. Say hi everyone!

Lyney

Lyney has left the app.

Hello. Thank you for using the Libra App.

Heads up, we've been getting reports of water outside of town drying up and plants becoming withered unnaturally fast. They say it's being caused by a Spirit Realm gate that's influencing the envionment. And it's spreading. Pretty sure you guys already know about that... but if some of you Earth or Water folk want to help make sure all the crops don't die- probably should do that.

And no don't ask "why don't you do it". I don't have an element, I'm just a normal overworked guy. One that is clocking out now.

[As a quick note, the Event Log is still going strong, so please continue to tag it!

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. ]

Where: Libra network
When: April 13th
What: Carolyn continues to be surprised by Kaisou
Warnings: None

what.

[Very rarely is Carolyn rendered speechless but this did it.]

This city has topped itself this time. A talking skeleton is somehow further outside the realm of explainable than the myriad gods living here. And why was it at my door of all things.

ALSO HOW WAS IT ABLE TO JUST PRODUCE A MULTI-THOUSAND DOLLAR PIECE OF MACHINERY.

WHO: Dan Heng and those who have signed up for saving him
WHERE: Dried up riverbed near Persephone's Cottage
WHEN: Around but no later than April 15th
WHAT: Vritra has been unhappy with the state of things with Dan Heng and feels as though the dragon is slipping away from his control. The gifts of Permansor Terrae allow Dan Heng to use power comparable to Imbibitor Lunae's, which cannot stand. He will control this endless and vast storm, and he'll destroy Dan Heng if that's what it takes.
WARNINGS: DISTURBING IMAGERY, DEATH, IMPLIED TORTURE, IMPRISONMENT, BLOOD, IMPLIED MASS EXTINCTION OF A HUMANOID SPECIES

I keep forgetting to post about this: we've been troubleshooting the "missing notifications" problem for the past few days. (Well, I say "we", really I mean Mark and Robby; I'm just the amanuensis.) It's been one of those annoying loops of "find a logical explanation for what could be causing the problem, fix that thing, observe that the problem gets better for some people but doesn't go away completely, go back to step one and start again", sigh.

Mark is hauling out the heavy debugging ordinance to try to find the root cause. Once he's done building all the extra logging tools he needs, he'll comment to this entry. After he does, if you find a comment that should have gone to your inbox and sent an email notification but didn't, leave him a link to the comment that should have sent the notification, as long as the comment itself was made after Mark says he's collecting them. (I'd wait and post this after he gets the debug code in but I need to go to sleep and he's not sure how long it will take!)

We're sorry about the hassle! Irregular/sporadic issues like this are really hard to troubleshoot because it's impossible to know if they're fixed or if they're just not happening while you're looking. With luck, this will give us enough information to figure out the root cause for real this time.

WHO: Jing Yuan (likely also Blade) & You.
WHERE: Libra & Gemini Networks.
WHEN: Not long after this.
WHAT: Their dragon is gone, time to muster the forces.
WARNINGS: Blade.

Dan Heng is gone.

[ despite how calm he appears there is a rumble in the back of his throat, a flash of golden lightning arcing from one shoulder to the next. Jing Yuan keeps the camera from his desecrated napping stop even though his gaze never leaves it. ]

The worst has come to past and the demon has stolen him from us. Blade and I will be going to retrieve him no matter the cost to ourselves, should you wish to join us you do so. There is no time to debate or to waste.

[ a Solgaleo comes up behind him and nudges the general breaking him from his unyielding stare. it's then that Jing Yuan breathes a flicker of tension draining from his shoulders. ]

Please... [ he regards the feed, finally. ] Any aid you can provide us will be invaluable. We cannot lose him again.

WHO: Viktor, the DND group, and the network
WHERE: Viktor's garage for DND, Gemini for everyone else
WHEN: Early April
WHAT: If Brennan Lee Mulligan went into engineering...
WARNINGS: None yet!

[Viktor had, for reasons unknown to anyone but him, set up the session to begin the final confrontation of their campaign in his garage; a space converted into an engineer's workshop with a large Shape near the table covered by a thin cloth. What's that? Nothing, don't worry about it and don't worry about why he's in a much better mood than usual. Just get comfortable and prepare for a long game, it's fine.]

[Or it was fine, right up until the lights went out.]

[un: hextechnician]

[Sometime in the afternoon, a video would come from Viktor's phone; a dimly lit room, with a Tinkaton taking up most of the frame with the universal gesture for 'shhhh' followed by a mischievous grin. In the background, a table full of nerds being loomed over by a Shape draped like a hellish bedsheet ghost, glowing in strange myriad colors made into an odd aura by the thin water vapor of a fog machine. On top of all that, an ominous low hum seemed to fill the air--over which Viktor's voice could be heard in careful, sharply accented narration.]

--all who still stand turn their eyes skyward as the eclipse reaches totality, as the sky itself appears to shake- [He picked up a small remote lying on the table, that low hum briefly interrupted by a sound of pure impact.] -and the twinkling of the stars begins to resemble not distant light, but the blinking eyes of a thousand adherents turned to witness the descent of their herald.

And as you look upon it, the eclipse itself begins to fracture- [Another sound of impact.] -under a force beyond it, something moving within an impossible space between reality and elsewhere. It cracks and shatters to the yawning black void beyond, and all you see for a moment is a massive glowing eye within the void where the sun once hovered overhead. Talia, if you would, please?

[Setting the phone down to carefully keep everything in frame, the Tinkaton skittered around behind the table and tugged on the corner of the cloth to reveal a horrific abomination, multicolored light streaming from a too wide mouth of countless teeth in beams accentuated by the thin mist.]

It opens the endless chasm you could call a mouth- [his hand moved on the remote, and with no small amount of horrified objections the creature began to move, jaw widening and tendrils beginning to writhe like some unholy abomination, followed by a shocked exclamation of 'VIKTOR?!' that might have been Noctis.] -and through endless teeth you see the light of the cosmos illuminating the battlefield in colors without name, the ground itself seeming to become something foreign and alien as if the creature's mere presence warps the shape of reality around it, form without shape winding its way from the broken eclipse down towards those who would stand to oppose it.

[Viktor just kind of let that sink in for a moment, smile on his face nothing short of deviously thrilled.]

...If you would all please roll initiative.

WHO: Lio and the app
WHERE: Gemini
WHEN: Early April
WHAT: How the hell did eggs happen? And also the Gemini app.
WARNINGS: whatever you bring with you

[No video for the very weird app that he got a link to, but he's busy so you do get a voice!

~~Hey why's he sound like Vash or Nox but softer--~~]

So not only do I pull into Kaisou and get inundated with a spam app from Zodiac [oh the vitriol there], I get a weird email directing me to this app and a weird egg full of kitkats. What the hell kind of place is Kaisou? I came here because I heard it was a safer place for people like us, and then...

[You can almost hear the confused gesturing.]

This all happens.

WHO: Avila Archer and anyone Who happens to see the video
WHERE: Libra
WHEN: April 5th
WHAT: An Introduction
WARNINGS: None that I can think of but let me know if I missed anything

[The video opens vertically, a phone propped up on something on a coffee table, facing a couch, the couch and art on the walls are generic, as if they came with the house and had not been replaced with anything of personality (They did) sitting on the couch is a young woman with dark red hair and bright green eyes. She is facing the camera but not looking directly at it.]

Hey there, I thought maybe an introduction would be a good idea, My name is Avila and I'm new in town, hoping to maybe make some-

[A soft rustling sound and what sounds like something bapping at the phone, and the girl in front of the camera furrows her brow, before realization sets on her face]

Merlin? Merlin stop, get down don't play with-

[The phone is knocked off whatever is propping it off, falling flat on the coffee table with the camera faced up, catching the face of a white cat with its face right in the camera, creating a distorted fish eye effect as the sound of the cat sniffing fills the audio.

The video cuts after the sound of Avila getting up and retrieving the phone, it returns and she is back on the couch, but now the white cat is sitting on her lap, staring directly at the camera.]

Ok, let's try this again, I'm Avila, this my familiar and seeing eye cat, Meowgister Merlin. I've moved to the city to try to learn more about magic and how to use it, so if anyone knows any good magical tutors, or anywhere with good coffee, let me know! I look forward to meeting some new friends here.

[A Beat of Silence]

Was that enough? Should I say more? I'll just post it, maybe edit out-

[Her voice shifts, clearly talking to herself and not intending to address the camera with her last few words. She gets up and picks up the phone as the video ends cutting her off mid sentence, clearly she did not edit it before posting.]
