Okay, so! After that post yesterday I've been thinking. What about shinki who don't remember their birthday?

I think, if we don't remember our birthday, we should get to pick one that suits us! You know, to be fair. Everybody deserves a party.

I think I'm totally a Leo. Or an Aries! Or -- hey, what's the sign for people born about now? If I'm gonna get cake, I don't want to wait all year.

What about you?

This is an excuse to get cake.

How could you accuse me of that! You're so cruel! It's just I've got this deep, personal attachment to whatever zodiac sign means my birthday's coming up.

You don't know Western zodiac stuff, do you? I'm kind of shaky on it.

[deniles]

I bet you can't name all of the western zodiac signs.

[sweetdeath]

Aries, Leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius

um

Virgo?? Then that other one with the weird spelling. Aquarius!

How many are there? 13, right?

[deniles]

Yes. There are 13 zodiac signs.

You have some right.

[replicatedform]

Do we really need one, Tsuzuki?

[sweetdeath]

We totally need one. We might not be getting older anymore, but we can still have birthdays!

And cake.

[replicatedform]

This isn't just an excuse to have cake, is it?

[sweetdeath]

It's not JUST an excuse to have cake! It'd be kind of nice to feel like we're still regular people, even if we're shinki, too.

[It is also an excuse to have cake.]

What if you can't choose a sign?

[sweetdeath]

Throw a dart at a calendar? There's a lot of ways you could pick!

Doing it by horoscope is more fun, though.

[unlucky7]

If you just wanted cake, couldn't you buy it from a bakery or the store?

[sweetdeath]

Cake's great, but it's not just cake. It's

Well, having a birthday's part of being a normal person, you know? Being a shinki shouldn't take that away.

I guess we could go old style and just have an extra big party at the New Year.

What? Just pick one?

I haven't even thought about if signs are the same here...

[Like girly magazine quizzes... ]

[sweetdeath]

Yeah, why not! Do you know the Western signs? I forgot a few and had to look them up myself.

[pure_radiantics]

Is that like... categorizing them into Earth signs or Air signs? Oh wait do you mean months versus years? I didn't know they were called Western or something like that.

[Just one big mish-mashed soup, thanks crossover appeal.]

[sweetdeath]

The Western zodiac has elements too? Like, earth, air, fire, metal, wood?

How can you tell which one goes with the sign for your birthdate?

[They can't just rotate by year, can they? The Western signs go by too fast to only change their element by year.]

What is a Leo, an Aries and in this case the sign?

text, from: Tsuzuki Asato

[sweetdeath]

It's a Western zodiac thing! You know, like fortune telling. When you were born is supposed to mean something about what kind of personality you have.

Leo is supposed to mean you like attention and take control of situations. Aries are independent and exciting to be around. There's twelve or thirteen of them, I think.

[yasei]

I know what fortune telling is, at least. Why would ones birthdate determine personality? It sounds silly.

What is that.

[sweetdeath]

Well it's because of the influences produced on you by the energy at your time of birth. I guess? Basically?

Sorry, I thought you meant what those different signs meant. Um, there's twelve or thirteen signs of the zodiac. Each one governs a different part of the year and has a constellation it goes with.

[kokuyoyo]

And if you remember your old one after that?

[sweetdeath]

I'll switch.

If I time it right it'll get me two birthdays in a year!

[kokuyoyo]

[There is a very, very long pause before another reply comes.]

Sounds cheap.

[sweetdeath]

Yeah, well, less cheap than not getting a birthday unless we remember when it is.

That's just not fair.
