- alright everyone,
- come at me bro,
- couched for a reason,
- didn't have this on cocoon,
- it's freaking cold,
- not an expert but,
- stop messing up my personality!,
- that's a tortoise,
- this isn't hard to understand,
- tortoises live on land,
- turtles live in water,
- why is the devil going to georgia?

ARIES
- You'll get 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia' stuck in your head for the next week.
- You will find a turtle in your laundry.
- Just go sleep on the couch tonight. You don't want to know why.
- Hide it, no one saw!
[ Like everyone else, Lightning wasn't really sure what to think about the odd message that showed up at the front of her journal recently, but it's fairly late in the evening before she makes an appearance on there too-- publicly, without even any filters in place to exclude certain people! An unusual decision perhaps, but... here she is anyway, looking as mildly annoyed as ever as she brushes hair from her face and frowns deeply. Her words are clipped and serious. ]
A few things.
Anyone care to explain the reasoning - if any - of this experiment? [ A beat. ] Actually, I'd just like to know if there's a pattern between the words listed at the top and the sort of guidelines everyone's getting beneath them. Is there anyone looking into this?
[ No, she doesn't understand the concept of a zodiac or the point of astrological horoscopes, shut up. Something like that is a little difficult when nobody else from your world has seen stars or even the real sun in five centuries, you know!
But in any case. ]
Second, does anyone have information on something that's called... [ Another slight pause, this one perhaps a bit embarrassed? Naaaah. ] 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia'?
... Third, this creature...
[ And here is where she leans aside slightly, rustling in what's apparently an 'off-screen' cardboard box a moment before she lifts this handsome beastie up- just long enough for the journal to capture the slow, cautious paddle of its legs in the air, as well as the pink-haired woman's dubious expression as she stares at it.
Then-- nothing, save for a soft sigh. Even though something's obviously eating at her about this, apparently that's all she can think of to say on the matter before giving up and just setting her journal aside to wait for any responses.
Also, to continue moping on the couch, with roughly half a dozen blankets around her. ]

The guidelines may have something to do with astrological horoscopes. However, I have no way of confirming this without cross references.

'Astrological horoscopes?'
[ A-wha-wha-what, now? It's a wonder she's able to parrot that back without trouble, really. ]
video;
Signs based on interpretations of the relationship between astrological phenomena and the human world. They're believed to be major determinants of specific personality traits. There are twelve signs: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.

[ While he's talking, now she remembers having heard that term before in part-- or so she thinks. Astrological is about the same thing as astronomy, right? ]
There actually any truth in that?
[ She sounds pretty dubious, but considering the sort of thing that runs as 'normal' from where she grew up...? ]
video;
You could say that it's largely superstitious given its divinatory nature, though the seemingly strong correlation between the signs and their descriptions, among others, contributes to its popularity.
....I *KNOW* I replied to this already D:< video;
I guess the actual question should be whether or not the Malnosso believe in it, then.
[ Or at least take stock enough to tailor these curses for them... though she's not sure what turtles and catchy songs and sleeping on the couch has to do with any aspect of her personality. Or how in the world they're assigning her one of the categories in the first place when she's from somewhere with an entirely different astronomical set-up... ]
LJ is a glutton for tags ;3; video;
[Seriously, how does losing the ability to read and write contribute to personality when it's the primary thing to make it up. Curse you, Malnosso.]
video;
[ Yeeeep, she's definitely not disagreeing, even though so far hers have been fairly tame. Maybe if she'd found a lion in her laundry or something, but as it is considering the creature she did find is easily confined in a small cage made of corrugated cardboard... yeah. She's gotten off easy. ]
video;
I take it you've been undergoing similar experiences, if your other inquiry and that creature are any indication.
video;
[ ... What? You weren't expecting elaboration right off, were you? ]
video;
[ It just occurred to him that there are several, but not all of them could happen, could they? ]
video;
[ Yet. Or actually, yes, but she just doesn't remember it due to the nature of its manifestation.
-- Okay, and maybe she's also in the process of making the couch one true too, but that's not something she's going to mention. She's not a fan of being told what to do... especially when the one responsible is a bunch of words courtesy of the Malnosso. ]
The ones left are more... suggestions than predictions, anyway.
