[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.

[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.]

[Well that isn't true they've been sitting around on their butts for a month now. Still, though, fighting giant monsters isn't his idea of entertainment.]
You think we're gonna be ready?

I think, in my life, I would be pretty happy to fight one monster, maybe two. Some sort of excitement to balance out the everyday ho-hum. I just didn't think I was going to be spending more than six months of my life doing it every week.
Anyway, I don't know how much we can really prepare if we can't counteract the effects. We all talked about it last time, but it doesn't seem like anyone actually put in any effort thinking about how to stop the psychological problems.

This is true... but can we really just wait for the damages to subside? I don't know if a quarantine will be enough. We may be in for a rough ride again.

I doubt things will go that way, though.

Anyway, good luck with all of this. I'll see you when it blows over.
