This winter has been......boring....you hate to say it but honestly it kind of is. You had some snow, you had some rain, you had a bit of dry cold days. Over all it's been a normal winter. And while normally you wouldn't be upset by that......you can't help it but dang it you're bored! The holidays have come and went and they too were normal. Everyday seems like the same thing over and over and you're not sure what you want to do about that. You're not sure how you feel about this new set of boredom. You're not asking for anything big and bad to happen. You're not even sure you want something to come and shake things up. But you can't help but feel as if....well....you're missing something.

You try to watch a few things but nothing but the same old same old is on. You try to read a few books but you don't own anything new and you've read all of these at least 12 times now. Sigh, what is a person to do? You look up to see what day it is on your calendar. You see a little note that says "this is the year of the snake". But you also notice a note that says it'll soon be the days for the Aries zodiac. That's interesting. You never noticed before the two different zodiacs and their symbols.You never really have paid much attention to these things before but you can't help but wonder if one zodiac is better than the other.

Just as you ponder this thought looking at your calendar, you swear the image in front of you begins to....move. The image is of a small looking building surrounded by a lush forest and a pretty clear sky. There are some buildings farther back that you can't quite make out but there's a lake near by and maybe some mountains. Seems like a nice looking place. The stars in the sky twinkle for a moment as a heart shaped space ship flies by and...WAIT A SEC?! You rub your eyes and look at the image again. No just the same image as before, no space ship or stars.....you stare a little harder now. Are the trees sightly moving a bit in the breeze? You notice a sign next to the small building...was that always there? It says The Heart Break Cafe. Why does that sound familiar? Just then a small mouse moves by the sign. You blink in shock and watch it run towards the door of what you guess now is a cafe. It stops and looks at you for a moment and then runs inside the building. Your mouth hangs open in shock but you move a bit closer to the image. You then see a young make holding a bow walk into the image, he stops and looks at you. He gives a small wave and then he too walks towards the door and then inside the building. "WHAT THE WHAT?!?" You reach forwards to touch the image on your calendar when sudden....

You're fallen into the picture! Before you can even shout out, you're on the ground not to far away from the cafe. You look around in shock but after a moment you feel a sense of....belonging, like you were meant to be here. You stand up quickly and slowly make your way towards the cafe. As you get closer you can hear noise coming from behind the door. You pause in front of the door, take a breath and then push it open. You are greeted at once with a laughter and shouting as you see two goat like people throw mud at a dog like person. "HOW DARE!!" The dog throws a cup of something back at them. A group of snake like people, all different from each other move by laughing and hissing at something one of them had said. What seems like dozens of tiny green rabbits scatter about the place! A dragon drinks some tea, spits a bit of fire at a man holding a snake who replies "Hey wait, I'm the new guy here!" You turn just in time to see two bull like people grunt and then charge at the other. "I'M THE BEST!!' "NO IT'S ME!!!" A small giggling deer runs between your legs as it battles off some chickens before it makes it way to somewhere in the back....Where are you and WHAT is going on?

"I see you've finally come to join the fight." "Fi...Fight?!" You turn to look at who spoke to you and see a small zurg lady. She looks at you very sternly and gives a nod. "Yes...this year we're having a little.....disagreement on which one is the better zodiac and well....as you can see, some people take this very seriously." You gulp nervously. "All of it in good fun of course." The zurg replies. Somewhere there's a loud crash and people cheer. "IF YOU BREAK SOMETHING IT'S COMING OUT OF YOUR PAY CHECKS!!" "Sure sure boss lady!!" Another crash follows and the zurg gives a deep sigh. "Well....anyway, welcome. We have plenty to do here. I'm sure you can find SOMEONE to battle....it won't be that hard. But I DO suggest you order something from the menu first. A full belly is a happy one and we DO have some delightful hot chocolate." She gives you another stern nod and then wanders off. You take a look around and after a moment of just taking everything in you smile a bit. Well...guess you found a cure for your boredom!

You can Battle up to 4 times a day per person! (that way one side isn't spam rolling every three seconds) Everyone on the winning team will win a prize!! However keep in mind that no matter how many times you roll, you will only get one prize at the end of the event. And now that that is all explained....Go forth! Let the battle begin!

The Heart Break Cafe always has something to do. Be it relaxing and enjoying a meal or visiting with staff to joining in on contests and playing games!

Here is a simple way of getting prizes but it is HBC's most popular tradition! The Goody Bag WOOP WOOP!!

Some of you may remember this game from years before.... but for those who are new, here are the rules....

When you see the fabulous star, HBC Mule, post the words Goody Bag, be one of the first 4 people to quote the Mule to win a prize!

User Image
IT REALLY IS THAT SIMPLE, PEOPLE!!

Prizes can be anything, but the closer you are to being the first person to quote, the nicer your prize payout will be! SO move those dogs! You'll never know what you'll get!

Welcome to the Heart-Break Cafe!


It’s that time of year again, folks!
A time to get together with your special someone to celebrate your undying love for each other.
If you don’t have a special someone like myself, fear not!
There are many contests, games and friendly faces to make your time alone a little less lonely.
Whether you are here to fall in love, nurse a broken heart, or just hang out.
There is something here for everyone at the Heart-Break Cafe!

My name is Addium and I will be the host of this contest!
どうぞよろしくお願いします!

User Image

For every week of the event, I'll be giving away super fantastic daily prizes each day to several lucky winners.
Each winner will be randomly selected from the weekly entries!
This contest is open to ALL Gaians attending the Heart-Break Cafe!

User Image

Entering the contest is easy!
All you have to do is post and participate in this thread.
I will select the winners using a random number generator offsite.
Once the winner is chosen, I will draw back my bow and let that arrow flow straight into your heart!

User Image

You can only post on one account for the contest.
So pick the account you want to use, and enter on that!
Please refrain from using secondary accounts.

So hang out, chat, make new friends or chat with old friends!
I'd also love to hear stories on how you are celebrating Valentine's Day.
So feel free to share!

Posting just "bump" or a random smiley face will not count.
This is not meant to be a "bumping" only contest.
Entries that appear to be intended to be just "bumps" will be disqualified.

Posting content that is inappropriate for Gaia or which violates ToS or Rules & Guidelines will be disqualified.
So don't do it.

Drink those love potions and enjoy the festivities!

User Image

Random pages and post numbers will be randomly selected from all posts made on each day of the contest.
For example, if you post in the thread on March 10th - March 14th, you'll be eligible to win for that week!
As long as they meet the contest content requirements and rules.

I am basing entries on Pacific Time, which is my time zone.
So take that into consideration when you are trying for a prize!
Once you win a prize, you can no longer win again.
This way, others will be able to win, too.

Greetings, traveler. So good to see you. I've returned with my usual game(s), of course. Only, this time, you won't be playing solely for your own glory; your matches will help determine who holds supremacy in the Heavens! Will it be the Eastern zodiac? The Western? Or, the Unrecognized Signs?

No pressure, it's only Fate. wink


1. Rock, Eastern Zodiac 2. Paper, Western Zodiac 3. Scissors, Unrecognized Zodiac
score score 2
Last updated: 3/17/25

Quote me with a number between 1 and 3. The numbers correspond to what your 'move' will be for that match and which zodiac you will be fighting for. The choice is yours. It does not need to be your birth sign.

1 = Rock, The Eastern Signs (Snake, Rabbit, Horse, etc.)
2 = Paper, The Western Signs (Leo, Virgo, Aries, etc.)
3 = Scissors, The Unrecognized Signs (Ophiuchus, Cat, Cetus, etc.)

I will respond by generating a random number between 1 and 3 that will be my 'move' for the match. If you're unfamiliar with Rock-Paper-Scissors, the rules are:

Paper (2) beats Rock (1)
Scissors (3) beats Paper (2)
Rock(1) beats Scissors (3)


Defeat me to win a match for your chosen zodiac. Lose, and the point will go to the zodiac I rolled instead. Win or lose, feel free to quote the post again to play another round! Those with the most matches played and won by the end of the event will receive prizes.


User Image


  1. Follow Gaia's ToS and the event rules as specified by our Great Leader, Meushi. If I see you being horrible to someone in here, I will not hesitate to strike your name from the challenge!
  2. No bots/botting allowed! (Mechs, droids, and cyborgs are welcome!)
  3. No secondary (i.e. alt, mule) accounts!
  4. Prizes for most rounds won will be given after the end of the event. I will quote/PM the winners. You will need to have either gifting or trading enabled.
  5. If I am online, please wait for me to reply before beginning another round.
  6. If I am offline, please do not quote the game post more than five times (five matches).

    Note: In an effort to be considerate of different time zones I will be checking the thread as frequently as possible throughout the day. I appreciate your patience.



User Image

There will be prizes. I will update the details later but, they will include my usual offerings (angel items, RIGs, and flairs). Feel free to suggest some that you would like to see.
