Another event has come and gone. Another Thanksgiving has come and gone. I don't know about the rest of you, listeners, but I'm thankful that that event is over! Those zombies were nothing like the friendly neighborhood zombies back home. Very bitey, weren't they? And no real sense of organization. I'm just saying--if they were to unionize, perhaps people would take them more seriously, and we could all put our differences aside for the common good.

Thanksgiving was also rather different for me this year, listeners. But that, at least, I was expecting. There is no Brownstone Spire here to leave offerings for and beg for another year free of devastation and mayhem. Then again, maybe that's exactly why our lives have been so full of devastation and mayhem. If the Brownstone Spire is here...somewhere...then it would be wise to find it and make sure it's appeased. I can't imagine it's very happy, having been ignored all this time.

Some good news, Wonderland! I've managed to get the closets to get me a few things from home. In particular, I've got today's horoscopes! Well...technically they're horoscopes from about six years from now, but I figured I'd read these off anyway. Even if they don't apply to you today, they might be a warning of things to come.

Virgo: Avoid salads at all costs today. It's not a matter of life and death, but a matter of dignity. Your lucky number today is 3.33 repeating.

Libra: Don't let a bad mood get the best of you today! Hunt it down and destroy it. Psst. Remember to check the ceiling.

Scorpio: All is forgiven. We know that last time was a misunderstanding. Use caution when handling vegetables, especially carrots.

Sagittarius: Don't wear that shirt today. No, not that one either. No, that one is completely unflattering. Ah, yes! That one should do. Good luck!

Capricorn: Things are looking up! In fact, all things are looking up. What are they looking at? What's up there? What do they know that you don't?

Aquarius: You will meet a tall, dark stranger. When she asks you for directions to the post office, do not speak. Stare into her eyes. Really stare. Stare until she becomes uncomfortable and leaves. You have just met your nemesis.

Pisces: Good luck will find you today. I am so, so sorry.

Aries: You will receive news from a long lost friend. Today is a good day to take a risk. Adventure awaits!

Taurus: Uh...hmm. This one just has about sixteen As followed by about twenty-eight Hs. I'm not sure what that means.

Gemini: Take some you time today. You've earned it. Curl up with a good book. Draw a hot bath. Don't worry about that distant crying. It's probably nothing.

Cancer: They come in twos. They come in twos. They come in twos. They come in twos. Today's color is crimson.

Leo: Congratulations!

I hope that was helpful, listeners! I'm never too sure about this astrology stuff...the stars are so very far away, and so very cold, and so very uncaring. But maybe that's exactly why they want to influence our lives. Perhaps to them, we are just little insects. I'm sure stars get bored just like everyone else, so perhaps they like to put sticks and leaves in our way or crush our dear friends under their gigantic thumbs just to see what will happen.

I hope you are enjoying the holidays, Wonderland. I leave you now with...the weather.

Uh... I'm pretty sure stars aren't sentient, so it seems unlikely that they get bored...

[He's been to space, okay, he felt the need to weigh in there.]
notthesecondworstfighter: ([Project] hrm)

[personal profile] notthesecondworstfighter 2013-12-06 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it's a scientific fact, isn't it? They're basically giant balls of burning gas, not living things.
notthesecondworstfighter: ([Project] are you related to the problem)

audio;

[personal profile] notthesecondworstfighter 2013-12-07 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
No way. That's completely--

[...]

You're kidding, right?
notthesecondworstfighter: ([Project] talkin)

audio;

[personal profile] notthesecondworstfighter 2013-12-07 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Because... I mean, I've never even heard of a sentient ball of gas, but you know several? It just sounds kind of absurd.
notthesecondworstfighter: ([Project] shrug)

audio;

[personal profile] notthesecondworstfighter 2013-12-07 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's not. ...But it is where you're from? I've heard of a number of strange things being possible where other people are from, but I think sentient gas balls kind of takes the cake.
notthesecondworstfighter: ([Project] flat)

audio;

[personal profile] notthesecondworstfighter 2013-12-08 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Well. That makes sense, I guess. Sort of.

So you're telling me that this is just a common thing where you're from? Gases being living things and...taking whatever shape they want? That must be...uh. Disconcerting.
notthesecondworstfighter: ([Project] what was that?)

audio;

[personal profile] notthesecondworstfighter 2013-12-09 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Wait, there are helicopter pilots that are made of gas? How does that even work? Wouldn't they have some problems with actually...you know, grabbing things to steer and everything?
notthesecondworstfighter: ([Project] sorry)

audio;

[personal profile] notthesecondworstfighter 2013-12-09 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
But I wasn't--

That wasn't what I--

I didn't mean t--

[Long pause. Then a sigh, and his voice is slightly muffled, like he might be holding his face in his hands.]

...I didn't mean it like that.
notthesecondworstfighter: ([Project] talkin)

audio;

[personal profile] notthesecondworstfighter 2013-12-09 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
I definitely don't, and it really was. I didn't mean to offend, or be rude in any way, I just... I guess I was kind of shocked? Or something.
notthesecondworstfighter: (hearing you)

audio;

[personal profile] notthesecondworstfighter 2013-12-13 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Uhhhh... No, no angels or dragons or anything fantastical like that. It was pretty startling to learn there are both of those things here. But uh, I guess the only thing I have along those lines where I'm from are aliens.
notthesecondworstfighter: ([Project] glancing back)

audio;

[personal profile] notthesecondworstfighter 2013-12-13 10:49 am (UTC)(link)
...Poisoning the dairy...?

Uhm. Ours aren't exactly taking kindly to efforts at reasoning. We were kind of in the middle of a war with them when I was brought here.
notthesecondworstfighter: ([Project] thoughtful)

audio;

[personal profile] notthesecondworstfighter 2013-12-15 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
It is pretty rough. But it's for a good cause, you know? Preventing humanity from being exterminated. And yeah, my teammates are all back there, but...I'm sure they're doing all right without me.
notthesecondworstfighter: ([Project] huh)

audio;

[personal profile] notthesecondworstfighter 2013-12-15 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
Really? I hadn't heard that before, but wow, that's a huge relief. So no one will even notice I'm gone?
