♎ S33R: R34D TH3 HOROSCOP3S
( phone )
It's Terezi and my auricular sponge clots are still frothing teal from all of those alarms, and I guess everyone is still in a big panic about it but I just wanted to let everyone know that Dave Strider- hard cherry candy red Dave, not delicious orange creamsicle Dave- is gone. Back to... to our universe, I guess, and I mean, I just-...
[Terezi actually sounds pretty miserable about it. ]
I bet he will be back soon. I mean, that's just like a coolkid, to get himself panscrubbed ironically. He will be back in a few days, won't he, I just know it, he's going to swagger on in and be like 'Hey, TZ, hey, everything's totally cool and I was just seeing what it was like to be a drone for a while.' Yeah, that's what's going to happen. Blargh. I think I am going to give him a good hard drubbing the moment he snaps out of it. He's leaving me hanging and-
[Her voice shrinks.] ...Anyway, um. That's all.
Oh, except, by the way, can I ask if there are any people out there who were born between the human calendar dates of... September 24th to October 23rd? [She sounds a little bit hopeful, curious.] Let me know!
( filtered to castmates but easily broken )
I discovered this thing! [She seems to perk up a little bit, although she still sounds a bit tired. There's some rustling on her end of the line.] It's called 'the zodiac'! Humans have this wheel of 12 signs based on the stars in the sky and the way they're laid out and... There's a machine that dispenses something called a 'horoscope'. That's how I figured it out. I don't know how we didn't ever learn about this sooner!
[She gives a huff.] I'm going too fast, but it's pretty exciting! They're our signs, if you haven't figured that out yet. All 12- they're ours. And they're all based on real star patterns. We really did have an influence on this universe. Apparently all humans born on this planet fall under one of our signs. Amazing, isn't it!
The machine's at the comic shop. But I found a book on the zodiac, too! Here, for example, I'm going to read about my sign. It's called 'Libra'. [She pauses for a moment to lick the paper.] 'Diplomatic and urbane, romantic and charming'- hahaha- 'Easygoing and sociable, idealistic and peaceable'... They're all qualities that are supposed to represent our signs, I think! Naturally I am incredibly sociable and romantic and diplomatic and peaceable so this is all one hundred percent absolutely undeniably true.
But the coolest part is, [she takes a breath-] the coolest part is that my sign represents the scales. Equality and justice. And the rest of the signs, are, um, well, you'll see! I think it's all kind of amazing. You should go to the comic shop if you want to see! It's just... I guess even here, it's kind of encouraging to know that we had an impact on things. Somehow.
( action; the comic shop )
[Terezi, dressed in tribute to a certain coolkid, is standing before a rusty machine mounted to the wall. It has a number of different options on it, and after inserting $0.05, it dispenses small tubes of paper containing horoscope information. Terezi is basically choking the thing with nickels and stuffing a bunch in her pockets. She has a lot of Libras and Cancers. Once she amasses enough, she sits down on the curb of the sidewalk and begins sketching on the ground in chalk.]

Well, mine's Libra. And Vriska's is Scorpio, and Gamzee's is Capricorn, and Sollux's is Gemini...
[as she goes down the list, it only becomes terribly obvious that Karkat's is the only one with such a striking connotation.]

...It's like you said, right? It's superstition and it doesn't mean anything. [she doesn't believe what she's saying, though.]
no subject
[He definitely does not sound sincere about that.]
They coincidentally named me after a fatal mutating disease that destroys everything it touches. Those humans, what will they think of next.

You're not a cancer.

But you're right, maybe it's completely arbitrary! None of this has anything to do with us! There's no connection between Sollux and twins or you and scales or me and fucking crabs! It's all just a big pile of bullshit!

No, I meant the... just keep reading, okay?

[mashes a piece of chalk into her mouth so she doesn't have to say anything.]

Gladly.
Whatever, enjoy reading horoscopes. Go ahead and tell everyone what mine is, have a barrel of laughs about it. I'm out of here.
no subject
Fine! Go. [still eating chalk. her teeth are stained red.]
no subject
[Storming off!
Yeah, he's not actually angry at her at all, he's just angry. But he's out of here.]
no subject
'Changeable and moody'! That's what it says! And 'overemotional and touchy'!
[she's still going to curl up on her side and chew on chalk and generally feel bad about things, though. sigh.]
