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.

...Wait, why would good luck be a bad thing?

But you do?

Where did you get those horoscopes?

My horroscope doesn't sound too reassuring... we technical people tend not to put too much stock in things like astrology, but I can't help but feel a little nervous.

Astronomy, though... do you think that Wonderland's sky is the same as Earth's...? Maybe these wouldn't apply to us for that reason...

...So if I'm a Pisces and I have bad luck, I should be glad?

Hmm... do you think that the library has some astronomy texts? Things like star charts? If the closets give us a telescope, maybe we could compare...

...Though... we're all from different worlds... there's no guarantee that my Earth would have the same sky as yours, and who knows where the star charts in the library would be from...?

Maybe it is a lost cause...

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

[personal profile] crosscompiler 2013-12-06 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
I'm afraid that might not be possible... unless there's someone here who knows the stars of their own world from memory, we wouldn't have a point of reference.

...There's at least one sailor here, isn't there? Maybe we could ask them if the stars are familiar...
crosscompiler: ([Sprite] Nervous)

[personal profile] crosscompiler 2013-12-06 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
Um...

...I guess that makes sense...
notthesecondworstfighter: ([Project] hrm)

Well, it's a scientific fact, isn't it? They're basically giant balls of burning gas, not living things.

I spoke briefly with a ship's captain from centuries ago... they definitely had to navigate by the stars. I know he was from the past, since he talked in an antiquated way... Not sure I caught his name... I wonder if he's still here?

The stars aren't quite so far if you have the right equipment.

[ She's being purposefully literal. She built a rocket with the plan to travel out there, so... ]
notthesecondworstfighter: ([Project] are you related to the problem)

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

[...]

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

[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.
