WEEK 1

[You now know why you're here, Titled. The question now is, is there a way to get out of here without invoking the rules? What will those who brought you here do to get you to kill?

Time will tell.

There are fifteen strangers in this place.]

ASTROLOGY STUFF... maybe also blood if you need it

[theirmagic]

[ So Ursula read this, and although she'd been with Croix, she got quite excited at one word: a stranger's star sign. ]

Oh, my! They want to encourage astrology! In that case, I would be more than happy to give out my star sign to anyone!

[ So she'll be hanging out in the food court for a little while, before she decides on her partner. ]

[comesaround]

How convenient! I'm looking for someone to join me for the hunt. Feel like helping me out?

[ Guess who's kind of there? All smiles and no hesitations clear in his face and body language. ]

At the least? Starting with that star sign would be good.

[theirmagic]

... I can certainly help, yes. Which star sign would you like? I also don't mind partnering.

[ Sounds fun to her. ]

[comesaround]

The regular one. Don't think they need the chinese star signs here.

[ Hands in his pockets, Karma looks rather pleased about her agreement. ]

If you need mine, it's Capricorn.

[theirmagic]

Perfect. Mine's Pisces, and my ruling planet is Neptune. Did you know people ruled by Neptune tend to be rather positive and trusting?

[ Sorry, this is kind of her expertise. ]

The blood could also easily be done--all I would need is a small knife. Perhaps you could get something to put it on, or in... I don't mind helping. This is much better, because it gives everyone far less reason to go for that silly thing earlier anyway. The more we help each other, the better it will turn out!

[comesaround]

Mm. Sounds about right. What planet rules over Capricorns? Does it say what kind of people they tend to be?

[ You caught his attention. So there's that. ]

Long as you don't push yourself too much. You only have so much blood and it is a risky move to offer that so easily.

[theirmagic]

Which planet does tend to depend on the date and time you were born, but usually it's Saturn. It usually symbolizes boundaries and limitations, and cause and effect. In essence, Saturn is usually trying to teach Capricorn you get what you give, and not to take shortcuts in life. Capricorns themselves tend to be ambitious people, but it depends on the person...

[ ... Oh. Right. The blood. Uh. ]

Well, I assumed it would be a minimal amount... they couldn't possibly be meaning a large amount, could they?

[foolishjustice]

I would greatly appreciate that. I happen to be quite well equipped to provide my favorite thing, if you would like to trade.

[...Yes, he does love Leblanc coffee that much.]

[theirmagic]

Well then, in that case, my main astrological sign is Pisces. My ruling planet is Neptune, and my Chinese Zodiac is the Metal Horse. My sign is incredibly mutable and is quite flexible, and can deal with changes very well. Due to my planet being Neptune and my sign also being Pisces, my connection with the element of water is extremely strong, although to be honest, I would say I consider myself more of a fire person on the whole, astrology doesn't always have to do with who you are so much as what you are at your base. The Sun in Pisces is always really quite fascinating--

[ She pauses, though, catching herself. ]

B-but, oh, I'm getting... off-topic, aren't I? I apologize, this is what I teach in school, so it's a topic I know quite well...

[foolishjustice]

There's no need to apologize, I find the subject quite fascinating. Well, more I enjoy learning new things in a general sense.

I'm a Gemini, myself. My birthday is June 2.

[theirmagic]

Oh, you're a Gemini! How wonderful, it makes so much sense! Geminis are always wonderful research and discussion companions, when they speak, and they do speak quite often, they always have something so insightful to say!

[ She smiles, quite pleased. ]

Would that I could read your star chart properly, but I don't have my wand. I could tell you so much more!

[foolishjustice]

I do quite enjoy conversation, yes. I don't have very many people back home I can have an extended discussion with, but that does make it a treat when I find the opportunity. That's actually how Kurusu-kun and I became friends, he surprised me with a bold comment during a talk show I was a guest on. Fate just happened to choose him as the audience member for the hostess to question, and he agreed to keep in contact.

[theirmagic]

I had a feeling you two were friends.

[ She smiles brightly. ]

He seems like an easy person to get along with. Well, I hope you know that you can count on me to be someone you can talk to, as well, anytime you need it, Goro. My door will always be open, so to speak.

[ First! Name! She's serious about being good to you, you're a good boy. ]

[steelmagnolias]

No idea if mine is the same as it would be in your world; but sure, I'll take it.

[ By Unovan standards he'd be a Scolipede, but like hell if he knows that. ]

[theirmagic]

I could tell you what yours is. When is your birthday? Mine is Pisces, by the way.

[ She smiles. ]

[steelmagnolias]

[ He's never heard of that one before, but- ]

November 20.

[theirmagic]

Then you're a Scorpio! Scorpio's are often pretty hotshot people, I'm surprised, Mister Sanzashi. You seem pretty reserved to me... Scorpios usually have a lot of what you'd call plans going on and tend to be the emotional center of a lot of people's lives. They also tend toward a very strong will and nurturing-type nature... that one I can see.

[ ASTROLOGY. She likes it a lot. ]

[incrediblystressedout]

Oh, you know what, we'll make more money if we just trade freely, right? I'm pretty sure I'm a Pisces.

[Not that astrology is relevant to anything she's done lately, or anything.]

[theirmagic]

That's right! I like this much better.

[ She's in such a good mood now??? ]

Ah, you're the same as me, Joey. I'm a Pisces as well! That makes you a very mutable sign, did you know that? We have a little bit of every aspect in us.

[incrediblystressedout]

Huh. No, I didn't know about that. I just know it's a fish, really. Still, that means we should get along, right? I don't really understand astrology...

[theirmagic]

Oh, certainly! Not every sign gets along with itself, but Pisces is one of those signs. Water does well with its own element.

[incrediblystressedout]

Makes sense. What else are Pisceses like, other than at least one of them being a really helpful teacher?

[theirmagic]

... Don't think me a braggart or anything, this is just standard information. But usually, Pisces is marked by a person that tends to be incredibly selfless. As in, they like helping other people when they can. We're very empathetic, as a water sign, we can reflect on other's emotions really well and understand them more easily than some might. We also tend to lean toward the arts, though what art varies by person, of course...

[ She looks a bit more nervous when she says that last bit. Odd, that. She hurriedly moves on. ]

As our ruling planet is Neptune, it's a double dose of water, so sometimes there can be drawbacks, but one of the good things Neptune brings to us is a love of music.

It's darker side, however... well, we can become martyrs if we're not careful, or overextend ourselves too far. We can also become escapists, people who don't want to deal with reality, or shut-ins if we're not careful, so it's very important a Pisces not spend too much time alone. In general, although we can read people's emotions and empathize very well, we have a tendency to be a bit too trusting sometimes, so that's probably something you should be careful of. Like the fish that represents us, Pisces can be easily frightened by certain things or scared off, so it's important to know your limits and maybe sometimes go a little beyond them, but not too much.

In all, we're people that dislike cruelty and want to help other beings, be it animals or people, and tend to be rather expressive.

teach him about these stars

[beguiledcard]

[ He nods. ]

Please do. [ A smile surfaces as he tilts his head. ] You seem excited about this one.

[theirmagic]

[ Please insert one of the many long rambles about Pisces I've already put above here in this tag. I'm getting tired of typing the same thing in differing words. ]

Furthermore--o-oh, sorry. I went on too long. B-but, you get it. Pisces is a fascinating sign, you should the constellation itself and what its stars can tell you!
