on shenanigans in Avalar RPG

[summitshore]

What, why are you laughing? Seriously, if someone asks the entire...orb-ternet?... what your zodiac sign is, what else are you supposed to think? It's in so many movies and so on, and some of the girls in class try to use it to see if their crushes will work out.

... Hm, it's got a different significance where that guy's from?

...

You're sure about that? Huh. Oh well!

No, it's definitely like that! It's like the most common pickup line in the world! There's no way it's not like that.

[summitshore]

Couldn't it have also been divination, though? You know, like horoscopes and so on?

[nonavelgazing]

No way. If the first thing a guy does when he talks to you is ask for your Zodiac sign, he's definitely hitting on you. All the girls in school - well, when I had a school to go to - said to stay away from boys that did that because they were always bad news.

[markedviolin]

That guy's kind of a strange one anyway. He's so insistent that other worlds don't exist and is basically calling us all liars.

[summitshore]

Wh- Seriously?! Wow, I didn't think someone who was that much of a jerk existed!

[AU!Vaan, you are now even more of a jerk than her cousin. Congrats. You really don't want that title...]

[markedviolin]

Yeah! And he's been treating me like I'm stupid!

[summitshore]

Oh, why does that sound so familiar...Ugh! What a pain.

[markedviolin]

No kidding...! I hope you never have to deal with him that much.

[summitshore]

If it's any help, I'm used to this kind of situation.

[Stoic thumbs up from Kazumi, here.]

[markedviolin]

It's not a good thing to be used to... [Trust her, she knows.]

[summitshore]

Yeah, I know. [Siiiigh.] Still, my cousin seems to think it's his job to be a pain, so there you go.

[markedviolin]

... We each have that one family member, huh... [SIGH.]

[summitshore]

It looks that way. [DOUBLE SIGH.]

[markedviolin]

I'm not sure if it's better or worse if mine's my mother.

[summitshore]

...I'm not sure either.

[markedviolin]

Maybe she'll stop once I've actually lived in her manor for a significant amount of time but so far...

[Yeah, guess who only just met her mom a few days before getting pulled into Avalar.]

[fearlessherosheart]

It must be a curious world indeed if the months have several names. Why one would need to both 'february' and 'aquarius' to describe a unit of time is quite a puzzle.

[The Mun isn't even going to bother to tell Tazendra about the ten-day offset between Zodiac signs and calendar months; it will continue to convince her that Earth's calendars make no sense.]

[summitshore]

I think it's...something about the position of the stars, as opposed to the Earth's rotations.

[It's okay Tazendra, the Earth's calendars DON'T make sense. Don't get this mun started on Daylight Savings Time...]

[fearlessherosheart]

I see. I have not often observed these 'stars'.

[Two words: perpetual overcast.]
