[ thanks ace. anyway uh he's probably got a magazine or something, or his phone. something that has horoscopes in it. let's be honest it's probably a magazine, this is nico. ]
Yeah. I could give you the whole explanation if you wanted, but it's a little long and I don't really want to go into the constellations. [ also given he's greek and knows all of the stories of the constellations it's a weird line. ] But it's based on where the sun was at the time of your birth. At least the western version.
[ he's flipping through the magazine. ] Your birthday's only a few weeks before mine, but we have different signs. Yours would be Capricorn, so...the goat. A little funny. They're not really real and a lot of the time they're a little dumb but it can't hurt to play along for once.
There're twelve sectors--you know what, never mind. Yes, goat. Well. Part-goat, part-fish, but for convenience sake it's a goat.
[ do you feel better being part-fish, ace. does that help. anyway, he's going to read... ]
"You're ready to make a big impact on someone's life today. All you need to do is open your heart and be there for that person when they need you. It won't take much. A sweet smile, a sympathetic shoulder to cry on. But the littlest gestures you make will create a positive outcome in the life of someone who could use a friend. And you don't have to come up with words of encouragement either. Listening is all you need to do."
...no, I would say exposing Hung made a big impact. [ lmaooo. ] You were there for him...sort of. And you turning into a reindeer was a positive outcome for a bit because it made him forget about his troubles temporarily. See? It fits perfectly.
I can't believe you'd insinuate such a thing, Ace. [ again, shut up. anyway i wish i knew since rick said two out of nowhere and confirmed neither, but for convenience sake: ]
Um...Aquarius. Like I said mine's a few weeks after yours, but according to how it works the sun had moved to a different sector by that point in the month. [ flipping through to look for his. ]
"You truly value the people in your life right now, so you should set aside some time to get to know them even better. Take someone out to lunch or accompany a new friend while they run some errands. Inserting yourself into someone else's life is easy right now, especially because so many folks are eager to welcome you in. You're entering a phase when your ambition is going to take a back seat to your desire to get along well with others."
[ hm. he's just sort of staring into space for a second before closing the magazine. ]
[ this all sounds like made up bullshit because everyone born around the same time cannot have the same fortune or whatever this is, buuuuuut ace just grins because that one vaguely fits and it's thus extremely funny ]
I dunno, I think this thing is saying you should be taking us all out to lunch. [ "they also said shopping" food ] You wouldn't want to contradict a magazine, would you?
Aren't we already making Hung cook all the time? We've had lunches.
[ he's not actually objecting but he is thinking nico is hilarious ]
I don't feel like I've actually learned anything. Thanks. [ he has the magazine so he's rifling through it ] These are some weird choices though. Virgo?
I truly don't know. There are several constellations based on myths but why those twelve were selected is a whole other explanation. It's...the ram, the bull, the twins, the crab, the lion, the virgin, the scales, the scorpion, the archer, the goat, the water bearer, and the fish. In that order. It starts with birthdays in March.
