[VINDICATION YES WEEKS OF WASTING HOURS READING ABOUT THE MOST POINTLESS CRAP HE'S EVER HAD TO STUDY COME TO FRUITION PRAISE THE GODS HE HAD BETTER GET SOME KIND OF MEDAL WHEN THIS WAS DONE

No wait this was a bad thing ahem yes very bad the proper thing to do in this case was to maintain a certain air of decorum and er grave sincerity yes grave.  ...Atsuro can't help grinning slightly anyway as the COMP feed flickers on.]


Look sharp, guys.  Those of you who were around back in October know what this means.  For everyone else...  The news broadcast probably could have stood to be a little more informative.

Let's do a quick recap.  Back in October, about a week before the 23rd, we started noticing that a few of us were acting a little strange.  This escalated over the next few days until some of us were brainwashed into trying to attack people and some of us were brainwashed into being terrified of everything that moved.  And, uh... sometime during all this, all of these giant scorpions started falling from the sky or something; I don't know.  It was probably a totally related natural progression.  Anyway, on the 23rd itself, a really huge scorpion monster appeared, and a few of us had to beat it off.  We compared notes afterwards and realized that the behavioral changes all had to do with what star sign you had.  If you have no idea what that is, just hold on a sec.  The important thing is that the ones who were attacking had the sign of Scorpio and the ones who were frightened were Leos, Taurii, and Aquarius...es...ii.

I know a lot of you aren't from Earth, or if you are from Earth, you're not from the right time period to even have Scorpius or Taurus as constellations anymore.  I can do a quick explanation of astrology if you want, but it's really a lot of trouble for something that's pretty much meaningless for you - It has to do with what day of the year you were born in, and which imaginary pictures formed by stars in the sky were closest to the sun then.  There are 12 of them, and each one is supposed to mean different things about your personality and the people you'll fall in love with or something.  ...Try not to think about it too much.  You can just take a look at the little ID cards you get when you come to the city and your completely arbitrary sign should be listed there.

Anyway, we're already off schedule.  The 21st - that's today - is the first day we're supposed to be under the sign of Taurus.  If a monster appears, it's probably not going to happen for a few days so it looks like the government is trying to quarantine everyone before it does.

The one thing is... I don't want to undermine our great government or anything, but I don't think their predictions are right.  Scorpios were the main targets last time because the sun was swinging into that area of the night sky; Leos, Aquariuses, and Taurii were affected because of something to do with the relationship between the signs. I never could find any consistent information or an exact chart or anything, but I don't think it's just going to be the same people as six months ago.  We'll be able to gather more data after this round, but I think everyone should be on guard for emotional changes, regardless of what your sign is.

...Also be on guard for giant bulls, because that's really not going to be fun at all.

[This is either the worst or best time for something like this to happen. But if Minako were to give her honest opinion she'd say "best." It's easier for her to have something to focus on right now.]

I think the most important question is, why has this only happened twice so far?

[Unfortunately (?), the Hotsuins reproduce like any normal humans. Even if they're as sexual as a rock. Or something.]

I wouldn't be surprised.

[Depending on how strong they are, Miyako might need to bring out her demons.]

...Atsuro Kihara, correct? Yamato mentioned you before.

So just because I'm a Pisces doesn't mean I'm safe from the weirdness. [Gosh darn.]

...

So about this new Zodiac monster on the horizon. What do you think it is?

So if there's a plan behind it then it's not causing the most chaos, because they'd want take advantage of people not being able to fight? Though you could say that starting something while part of us were missing would be bad because they those people wouldn't be affected and causing more problems.

It's also been half a year since the last one... Although if that's the pattern, then the next attack will just be Scorpio again. That doesn't make too much sense either.

So basically, we're likely in a boatload of trouble just because of our sign. Wonderful. Might as well slap a 'do not approach' note on everyone that's a potential threat this month.

[Only not really, she's just being dry-witted as ever.]

Just one question though--what about the signs that weren't affected by that whole mess?

Looks like it's time to fight again, eh, Atsuro?

[Ludwig almost seems a little excited for what might be another round with his battle buddy. Of course, his focus is really on the sheer amount of damage this potentially could cause the city and its people, but this is him trying to be casual.]

[personal profile] echo_of_a_jedi 2013-04-24 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
So since Taurus is part of the same set, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius would be affected this time too?

[Nano blinks at that, blushing slightly.]

Oh... you're right! That is how we met for the first time, isn't it?

[Screw your development contract he has cheat codes]

If they were trying to destroy the city-- it would've made sense to do it while everyone was gone, yes?
Maybe it's just chance? There's some reason in accounting for random occurrence.

It should at least be a good chance to see if we can notice anything, amidst the no doubt gratuitous and ensuing chaos.
bondsofsuffering: ([Sigh] Delusionally)

I would be fine with missing out on the excitement. This place gets really intense - I'm not sure I can handle it!

I'd almost consider it if there was any way to guarantee that would actually work. [Hinoto-Ri, stop dragging him into shenanigans yo.]
