Faction Updates
POKEGO: Frankly between Lauma and Jun going missing and Varian quickly turning to coping via robot army, you guys will probably be busy with that.

As always, you can check out updates to the PICHU facility here and information about Cygnus Academy here.

Zodiac: Congrats for once none of your faction has been kidnapped! This is a proud moment for Zodiac. However there will be a Valentine's Day office potluck, so you can't win it all.

Black Order: So, you guys are having a real problem. Investigations into the REUNION will reveal that the cult is a front for a group of shady researchers led but none other than Professor Hojo, who disappeared around the time of the Black Order rebellion. You guys will be receiving orders to eliminate Hojo as well as his entire group.

City Events
This month, these things will be going on in the city:

- It will be a Fire Element month! This means the Fire element will be stronger, while the Wind element will be weaker. Weather wise, while it's still winter, the fire element has brought it back to much more bearable temperatures. You can also expect a lot more sunny days. Basically it'd be a great time for winter sports.

- In the Kanto region, there will be several outbreaks of fire, fighting, and steel-type pokemon! If you're hoping to catch pokemon of that type, this is the month to try your luck! Otherwise be careful not to get eaten. Any tera raid battles will also be most likely against Fire, Fighting or Steel type Pokemon- so prepare accordingly!

- At the Pokemon Contest Hall, this month will be a Baking Competition! Contestants are asked to bake pokemon-themed treats. There are two categories: baked goods that resemble Pokémon where contestants will be graded on taste and presentation; and baked goods that can be fed to Pokémon where they will be graded on nutrition, presentation, and how well the Pokémon taste testing judges like them.

- With this being the month of Valentine's Day, you better believe stores around Kaisou will be full of romantic-based deals! Score some couples dinners, or maybe pick up some potions for the bedroom from Undertown. Please note that while there are a lot of erotic potions available- love potions are considered taboo with most vendors and paranormal folks.

These will be starting up at the start of the month. There won't be any mod run event logs on these events, so feel free to make your own posts on it!

Monthly Event: The Crystal Tower
Starting this week, characters will be disappearing from the city. It will start with characters who might easily go missed, but as we step into February, it'll be clear to characters that something is wrong.

The characters who are disappearing are:

• Carolyn
• Dante Sparda
• Harumasa
• Hunter
• Jin
• Jun
• Kuni (Wanderer)
• Lauma
• Neph (Jade Curtiss)
• Veldora
• Zevran
• Zhongli

These characters will be out of touch from communication both through phone and through magic until the rescue log. However if you have a wellness tracker for any of them, you'll be able to sense their general state of being (but not their location).

As it turns out, these characters have been abducted the former Black Order member Professor Hojo and his group of like-minded scientists who wish to experiment on various characters for their own goals. In the middle of February, it will be revealed to the app users that the Hojo's lab is in the Basement of the Crystal Tower which had been sealed off up until this point.

From there, it'll be up to Libra App users to raid the facility, rescue their friends, and deal with this villains once and for all. Please expect obstacles, monsters, and various content warnings involving human experiments.

In addition, thanks to Hojo's experiments, there will be optional boss battles for people to participate in against Dante, Veldora, Jin. You can sign up for those below!
