[ adlet's waving down danny in the mall. ]

I have another technology question for you. What's a horoscope?

[ help. ]

[foreverphantom]

[ when he hears the question, he can't help but laugh a little bit ]

Okay, so, a horoscope isn't a technology thing. It's like...a fake magic fortune-telling scam based on the stars.

[querencias]

Really? Then why did they give it to us as a task?

[foreverphantom]

To make us sound stupid in front of each other.

...that, and some people really do believe this stuff, so. Who knows, maybe one of the team leaders really thinks this is worth something.

[querencias]

I'd like to think they wouldn't do that to us. What do you need to do it anyway?

[foreverphantom]

Just your birthday, pretty much.

[querencias]

I could take a guess?

[foreverphantom]

Guess at your own birthday? You mean you don't know it?

[querencias]

I know the season but not the day, that's the closest I've got.

[foreverphantom]

Well...if you give me season and like, how far into the season it is, I could probably do an estimate of it.

[querencias]

In the fall, around the harvest.

[foreverphantom]

Uhhhh...what part of fall is the harvest in?

[querencias]

[ tilts his head. ]

The latter part.

[foreverphantom]

So that would be like October or November, so...Scorpio, I guess?

[ you've been assigned vriska. ]

[querencias]

[ what's an october or november. ]

Scorpio...like scorpion? What's that one about?

[foreverphantom]

Uhhh, the stereotype is that they're all mean and catty and evil. [ laughs ]

[querencias]

What?! That's nothing like me!

[foreverphantom]

I told you it was a scam earlier, didn't I?

[querencias]

[ sigh. ]

Right. What's yours then?

[foreverphantom]

Aries. It means I was born in April--uh, the middle of spring.

[querencias]

[ Nod.]

We're supposed to do the compatibility thing, right? So how do a scorpion and the air match up?

[foreverphantom]

[ laughs ] Aries. It's supposed to be a ram!

As for "matching up" and all that, I don't know, we'd have to consult like, a trashy magazine for that or something.

[querencias]

Want to go find one? Since it's a task this week.

[foreverphantom]

[ sighs ] I guess we should, huh.

There's a bookstore in that new mall, I think. We should be able to find some there.

[querencias]

Let's go.

[ off to the mall! ]

Fortune tellers must be out of business in this era if a book can tell you the same thing.
