UN: JOJO | Video

WHO: Jonathan, and a Very Large Bird
WHERE: The Gemini App
WHEN: 21st of June
WHAT: Jonathan has found a large bird waiting on his roof. It's rather rude.
WARNINGS: None! Well actually the video link sounds pretty alarming for a Pokemon sound so, warning for that perhaps.

[Jonathan being the scale he typically is (Small, batty), his camera shows little more than himself and the front of his house. It's quite the beautiful day, actually!

...A very loud bird's screech comes from...what might have been overhead? Hard call!

Jonathan winces when he hears it, and peers up- (Oh, so it IS upward)- before looking back to the camera.]

Has anyone some advice for being rid of large birds?

I returned from enjoying a rather delightful slice of cake to find my roof visited by a guest most foul.

[...........................That word choice was intended.]

Un: Zodiac | Mid-Month Update

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Libra App
WHEN: June 13th
WHAT: Zodiac Network Post
WARNINGS: None!

[We've reached the second half of June. By now, many people have noticed things important to them have gone missing if they discarded the invitation they got at the start of the month. 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.]

[With no announcements of comings and goings, the post will continue.... not normally, instead providing a screencap from a notes app first in response to the previous zodiac post:]

Jade

Nephrite, Joshua, Blackwargreymon, Anby and Jane have joined the app. Say hi everyone!

[NOW the post will continue as normal]

Hello. Thank you for using the Libra App.

Hey so about your stuff going missing? We got sent a ransom note about it. I'm supposed post it, so here:

To The Residents of Kaisou,

Well, it seems that my invitations reached everyone, though not everyone kept them. I'm sure by now you've realized what happens if you "lost" or destroyed them. Don't worry. Merely come to the ball I so graciously invited you to, and all will be returned.

Jareth, the Goblin King

If you threw out the invite, it's this weekend. It's going to be in a Spirit Realm called Golbin City, we'll let you know when the gate opens. Sounds like outfits will be offered, but that means trusting a guy called the Goblin King to dress you.

Go or don't go, not really my problem if you get your stuff back or not. I'm just a messenger who is clocking out now.

Bye.

This post is sponsored by Nikki's Emporium! Heading to a magical world? Help you dress to impress!

[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. The event log will go up this weekend, so feel free to have your characters make plans and talk about that until then! ]

Gemini Video | UN: Malipo

WHO: Kinich and you!
WHERE: Gemini Network
WHEN: Not long after the Black Order's mission
WHAT: Kinich has made the business decision to procure some plant seeds from Hyrule's floating islands... for a price. In plain speak: Kinich has wares if you have coin.
WARNINGS: None, but will update if there are any!

[Kinich has currently found himself a safe spot on the floating islands to make this post. He smells a good way to make money from POKEGO, but it's best to see if anyone else can bite.]

While on a mission in Hyrule, there's been a discovery involving a plant that has a peculiar property. On the floating islands is a flower that the stewards have called a "sundelion."

[He pans the camera over to show the flower just so that everyone can see that it's legit.]

These sundelions don't do anything in their raw state, but by cooking them we've discovered that they can heal a local corruption that drains away a person's life. They aren't a rare flower, but there is a level of danger in procuring them. Not just because they're found here on these floating islands. There are many hostile constructs up here as well.

If anyone would like for me to procure them any sundelions, sundelion seeds, or machine components, drop me a line. I don't work for free, but I'm willing to negotiate a fair price.

1: Out of place and time

WHO: Blackwargreymon and whatever poor souls decide to deal with him
WHERE: Lake Hylia (Hyrule stable gate) and later Libra
WHEN: now
WHAT: a digital dragon has a weird day
WARNINGS: possible mild existential crisis stuff in the first bit

[Lake Hylia]

[To an outside viewer who happened to be in the vicinity of Lake Hylia and happened to glance upward at the right time, they'd catch the glint of sunlight off something metal as falls from somewhere high above, making a huge splash as it hits the water somewhere not terribly far from shore.

To the armor-clad Digimon who was brought back to consciousness by hitting the water, this is might tie for the weirdest circumstances he's ever woken up in. For starters, he certainly hadn't been anywhere near a lake last he remembered. That initial feeling of dull confusion turns to alarm as he attempts to simply fly himself to the surface and back into the air and finds the ability simply... gone. He only finds himself more alarmed in the process of swimming himself to shore, feeling weaker than he ever had before and recognizing absolutely none of his surroundings from the Digital World or his brief forays into the Human World.

By the time he drags himself onto the beach, Blackwargreymon feels (and honestly looks) half ready to bite the first person he comes across from all the worrying he's done. He's sure he won't since he needs information and the thought that it would disappoint Agumon is viscerally upsetting on multiple levels at the moment, but... He's very wet and having an emotional rollercoaster of a day.]

[VIDEO | UN: Blackwargreymon]

[Later, once Blackwargreymon's out into the human world that not only is an entirely different one than the one he knows but also has the audacity to be in the entirely opposite season than the one he'd left, the day only gets weirder when he's handed a little glass and metal rectangle that he's assured is a "smart phone" and sent on his way.

The better part of an hour of muddling through the instructions later and the network is treated to the sight of a dragon-like being in full armor squinting at the camera with the suspicion of someone who hasn't looked at a piece of technology since just after the Y2K scare.]

...I'm going to assume this thing is working. Hi. I'm new to this world, and the person in a suit with dead eyes told me this is where I should ask questions. So, first question: Has anyone here heard of Digimon before?

[A pause.]

...Second, unrelated question: Why are these devices called "smart phones" when they look nothing like phones?

UN: Anby | Voice

WHO: Anby Demara
WHERE: Zodiac Network
WHEN: June 8th
WHAT: Network Voice Post
WARNINGS: Spoilers for the live action Lilo & Stitch

[The voice recording contains a voice of a woman whose tone is quiet and near emotionless.]

Is it recording? Good.

This is Anby Demara, a Guardian of the Black Order. I have downloaded the app required per the mission perimeters of the Kaisou Team, and will use it to record my personal log in hopes of remaining transparent under the new leadership.

[-- yeah she's clearly misunderstood the purpose of the Libra app, but the voice recording keeps going]

The date is June 8th, 2025. It has been one week since I have arrived in Kaisou, [a passing truck honks, making the state name inaudible]. Since then, I have prioritized finalizing my living arrangements and familiarizing myself with the city.

As of recording, I have located 1 movie theater and 3 burger joints in my immediate. The movie theater offers a decent matinee price, though the film I watched was rather disappointing. It was a live action remake of the animated classic Lilo & Stitch. The film was more sanitized than the original one, and it ended with Nami giving Lilo up to the state. I am unsure how to feel about that change to the story, but I don't think I liked it.

I should try to look into other ways to find movies, as even with the matinee deal, seeing movies frequently there will add up in cost.

Tonight I plan to try a In-n-Out burger for the first time. I have heard about these burgers in online communities for years, but they never had a store location in Florida. It was a surprise to find one here, and I'm excited for tonight's meal. [She says still very much in a monotone. So excited :| ]

That is all I can think of that's worth noting, so I will be signing off. Please note that all expenses I referenced have been made using personal money.

Anby out.

[The voice recording ends]
