[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.

It feels like we've known each other much longer than that, doesn't it?

[Nano nods, frowning just a little.]

I still really miss my friends from home. And the Professor and Sakamoto, too. I think about them a lot.

[She's back to smiling pretty quickly, though.]

But I've made so many irreplaceable friends here, too. I wish I could live somewhere with all of them.
all_wound_up: (surprised)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-04-25 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Is it really that easy?

[Nano doesn't really know much about it, after all.]

all_wound_up: (satisfied)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-04-25 12:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe. It's nice to think that I could visit them anytime.
bondsofsuffering: ([Hmph] supposed to make)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2013-04-26 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
No way, that's just asking for trouble! Even if I don't die, I might return missing a finger or something!
all_wound_up: (curious)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-04-26 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
Isn't there a college in the city?

And he might... I don't think it would hurt to ask, anyway.
belfire: (creeped out blush)

[personal profile] belfire 2013-04-26 10:39 am (UTC)(link)

I'm not surprised.

[Given how the twins' relationship and generally...everything, she wouldn't be surprised if Yamato never mentioned her. If he did, it's most likely due to a slip of the tongue.

They generally work under "you never ask". Beside, they usually have better and more important things to talk about.

...Basically, don't sweat it, Atsuro. Miyako's used to secrecy and no one acknowledging her existence.

It would be interesting to see this in person. Although, if I get affected as well, any notes I take might be compromised.

[Monsters? Pshaw, she can handle them.]

I don't know... I'm going to Andromeda High School, and it's fine so far. I even joined a club!

That's not true. So far, I think we've had plenty of time to lay low after a certain incident. I know I've been spending most of this time sorting myself out. As for whether we'll be ready or not... there's higher awareness of what's going on, which may help a bit, but overall I can't be sure.
