V1D3O!

[ so there's a little bit of fussing once the feed starts up; the camera is full of sharp, shark-like teeth before terezi finally backs up and pushes her red glasses up her snout. and she is not alone on the feed! off to her left, aradia can be seen. ]

So this is a message that goes out to all you humans out there with "birthdays"! You would all be wise to listen up because this is pretty important.

[aradia shows a smile, though excitement is clearly radiating from her as her eyes twinkle and her smile widens with words.]

With these "birthdays" it's been said depending on where it lands on that you are a specific Zodiac sign! That's the reason we're here to talk to you, since it appears these Zodiac signs have come from us.

Yeah, see!

[ terezi holds up a black shirt with a teal libra sign, as though it was proof to her claims. no one tell her she's off-center, shhh. ]

See, we trolls are given a sign when we're hatched. Mine is apparently something you guys call "Libra". Aradia here is "Aries".

[a light tap on the other troll's arm goes to gesture terezi to lower the shirt (she does, after giving aradia a look), so aradia can show her own black shirt with a dark red aries sign on it. these clothing stores have some zodiac shirts quite in stock. she lowers it shortly after showing it.]

Which as you can see from both of these. We can't exactly explain as to why that is, other than the conclusion we've come across that on making a new Universe our signs were passed on over. Signs that each of you have connected to your "birthdays" for many reasons including those horoscopes you put up in the newspaper.

Which is weird... What's the deal with those horoscopes?

[ >:? A SHRUG. ]

Anyway we wanna know what zodiac signs you guys are! We've got a lot of trolls here now, almost all twelve!

Maybe they'll be able to enlighten us on that.

[from what she's read though it sounds really silly 0u0 no that's stupid]

Like us they each represent a sign as well, so do feel free to tell us! Maybe you'll be able to find it as equally interesting.

And then we can tell you what troll you belong to. ... Oh but if you're—

[ a pause and terezi licks the screen of aradia's nv device ]

...an Aquarius... Hehehehe! Sorry in adva~nce.

( ooc | terezi and aradia!! both canon and non-canon birthdays count. pretty much all the trolls -- and some kids! -- will be tagging around, threadjacking and whatnot, with and without quirks. just let us know in the subject line if you'd like a reply without the quirk.

pile in and find your character's patrol troll! :D idea borrowed from the lovely people at soul_campaign. )

video. i don't mind quirks!

Scorpio, I think it was. Now, what, then, why're they supposed to come from you? [He's been made terribly curious - doesn't put much stock in horoscopes, but this is kind of cool.]

[faking]

This Kar - kat person is sounding really pompous.

[arisenew]

yes he tends to be like that with everyone
hes our self proclaimed leader and expects the role to be recognized as such
basically youll get use to it!
it would be best to either ignore it or humor him

[faking]

Is anything to be got out of humoring him?

I'M JUST SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT HERE.
AND I CAN ONLY DO THAT BY SHOVING SOME KNOWLEDGE DOWN THEIR IGNORANCE SHAFTS

I AM ALREADY STUFFED WITH EXAMPLES OF THE EXACT OPPOSITE FROM THE FIRST TWO NUMSKULLS.
I DON'T NEED MORE BEFORE I END UP PROJECTILE VOMIT WITH DISGUST BY EVERYONE'S DISRESPECT.
ACTUALLY I'M NOT SURE WHY I AM EVEN BOTHERING TO HELP YOU GET SOME SCHOOLIFYING DUE TO THIS REGRETFUL MIGRAINE CENTERING AT THE TOP OF MY THINKPAN RIGHT NOW.
