[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.

Well, it would make sense that way, wouldn't it? And all of the worlds that resemble earth - they could easily be the same case.

...This is all just conjecture, though. It would be difficult to find any evidence either way.
trollsdragons: (Oh! How peculiar.)

[personal profile] trollsdragons 2013-05-10 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm. Perhaps. I do hear such curious things about the Trapezohedron, and they seem to back this idea up. It does merit further investigation.
trollsdragons: (That is a secret!)

[personal profile] trollsdragons 2013-05-11 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? This is the first I've heard of such a thing! I've only been told of people going through it and coming back, there's been no mention of creatures.

It's possible. After making a whole universe, it must be pretty boring to just sit around and watch it. Alternate universes could just be an elaborate game of "what if?"

[What if someone died here? What if no one died here?

What if there was a game between God and the Devil...?

A column? I've never thought about that before.

[Hmm....]

...I suppose it wouldn't hurt. Judging by the way the Scorpios acted before, it might help to know the basics.

I'll see what I can drum up-- after the current oncoming catastrophe, of course.
belfire: (haha!)

Sounds believable to me!

[Between the Creator and Kiyotaka, both of the Gods Hizumi knows of are kind of assholes.]

Your world must be convenient with these kinds of abilities, though. We don't have any magic like that in mine. Well, outside of fiction, anyway!
