[No way is he showing his face to Hinoto-Ri: not now, not soon. Time heals all wounds, and time is exactly what he needs to work through the aftermath of the event.]

The government announcement and star sign "sickness" —

Will this happen to us a lot? Is this just how it works here? What can we do to... stop it?

...

I'm sorry.

They've found a way to make them apply to people they logically shouldn't.

Like the. . . robot visitors, or people from worlds other than Earth?

Or did you mean something else?

[acapriciousthing]

Yes, like that. I'm older than the zodiac, but things here apply to me just like anyone else.

That's interesting. . . I hadn't thought about it too much before.

Astrology exists in my world, but I never bothered with it. It all seemed like pseudoscience you'd find in girls' magazines.

We won't get into how much time I spent on the DC wiki for this

The Atlanteans imbued a lot of power in it, but I'm on a rather different scale than them.

it's okay, we've all pulled impressive feats of dedication for RP I'm sure!

Atlanteans. . . ?

I wonder . . . why we have to be assigned Western zodiacs at all and how they actually affect us when they shouldn't. What could even be capable of that?

Well, they're anthropomorphic personifications. There's a certain amount of power associated with that.

I guess, but I've always been a little skeptical of pseudo-science or things that sound too impossible to be real. I've gotten better though

And I can't argue the reality of the zodiac now that I've seen it.
