Who: Robin
Broadcast: Whole Network; Text
Action: N/A
When: Around 3/16

[this world? not really for him. but since Robin is not good at sitting still, and actively moping can only keep him occupied for so long... a text entry shows up on the network!]

Hey, I'm bored. I did some math. I charted out a rough conversion between Earth's calendar and my own world's calendar (which is much more sensible, honestly). So, tell me when your birthdays are, and I'll tell you what king-sign you fall under. ♥ I'm under Ha'it, the King of Life and Death--which supposedly means I have a knack for seeing the big picture, and my lucky color is gold. It's just for fun, of course. Who knows if it's actually accurate...

[Well, technically he doesn't know his real birthday, but....it's not like he puts much value into horoscopes anyway, and if this is to help with boredom]

Alright. December 25th.

[that's the spirit!]

You would fall under Celrym'j, the King of Solace. Known for dependability and kindness towards others. Since he had a special talent for comforting others even during their darkest times, those born under his king-sign are predisposed towards becoming doctors, humanitarians, and sometimes saviors. He's commonly depicted as a giant, often with hooves instead of feet. Your lucky color is green. I don't think it'd look very good on you--but the rest seems fitting, doesn't it?

Hmmm...I rather like that one. I hope it's fitting!

...

Not the hooves though. I don't have those. Green's alright though.

Don't worry. True or not, you suddenly growing hooves is very unlikely. And hey, I don't think I've ever met a bad child of Solace.

[There's a pause where he might have laughed] I'd hope not!

You haven't? Do you mean to say you ask everyone their Horo- King-sign?

No, no. It just comes up in conversation every once in a while on its own--telling and predicting this kind of stuff is a very popular pastime where I'm from. It's fun to talk about who you're "compatible" with, things like that. "Experts" have developed all sorts of charts and guides to help you live your life according to your king-sign, too... Some people take it very seriously.

Ah. So like the horoscope of Earth, then.

What's your King-sign?

Is that what you were saying? I didn't know Earth had something like this. It's similar? Mine's Hi'at, so... beautiful woman with long, golden hair. She's depicted with flowers both woven into a crown and resting at her feet. Those born under her month are said to be wanderers and adventurers. She's my favorite, of course.

Sort of. Instead of Kings, it's based on the constellation that's dominant in the sky when you're born. For example, I fall under Capricorn, the goat.

Hmmm...that is a good one for you! [The way Robin reacts to things, it sounds like he's seen a lot- like a wanderer would]

Oh, that's funny... But I suppose that would be a good way to categorize people. [since the Gods are supposed to be among the stars and all. seems legit.] Would you known mine?

Mm. Like the King-signs, some people read far more into it than others. I mostly learned them for traveling at night, and stories.

[Since hey, what the hell else was his dad gonna do to entertain his kid when he was a broke-ass traveling entertainer in the 19th century]

Um, sure! What's your birthday- er, on the Earth Calendar. I'm afraid I don't know your world's.

I don't have an exact date, but I think it falls into the end of March, or early April. The beginning of springtime.

[it's not a perfect science, since he's crunching nine long months into twelve short months--the math is a bit confusing.]

[There's a pause before he answers, since man he hasn't thought about this in awhiiiile okay. It was mostly something Mana and other circus entertainers would tell to pass the time and entertain a kid.]

Then you would fall under Aries. Aries are thought to be adventurous, passionate, and quick-witted. But they can also be impulsive and rash if they aren't careful. Your element is fire.

According to the Ancient Greeks, Aries was a golden ram that once saved a pair of twins from being wrongfully sacrificed by their jealous stepmother, Queen Ino.

[....Oh. Wait. That's right. Maybe this wasn't a good idea.]

Queen Ino...

-- Hey! What the hell?!

[SHIT SHE SAW. He switches to voice out of manners but he's too scared to do full fledged video. That is definitely a squeak though. A squeak of fear.]

Sorry! It's how the story goes! I didn't make it up, I swear!

Guys...

[ Ignoring Robin. SORRY. ]

Who the hell wrote it, then?!

Edited 2015-03-19 16:13 (UTC)

S-Some Ancient Greek!? I don't know! It's just a story I heard when I was a child!

..............

[yeah he's just going to throw some ellipses in there maybe they'll notice he's still here]

Shut up, Robin!

[ HE LITERALLY DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING, INO. ]

[ And she huffs a little at Allen, now ]

That's stupid. The one time there's a story about me and it's awful!

He didn't say anything, Ino!

It isn't about you! The name's just a coincidence! I know you wouldn't cause a famine to get your stepchildren killed!

[...oh...wait maybe sharing more is a bad idea]

[that's fine he'll just wait here.]

Whaaat?! That's even worse!
