The immediate inspiration for this: I'm graduating in a week!

Tell me about it. Um oh jeez, you know what I would really love? An FFTarot type-thingy with ASTROLOGY. What if I gave you three signs and you made three drabbles about a certain character with each sign, via wikipedia knowledge? Wouldn't that be FUN? :D

Just in case the answer is not a bellowing NO, I choose Aries, Libra, Cancer? :D

ARIES (Final Fantasy Tactics)

[moemachina]

you made three drabbles about a certain character with each sign, via wikipedia knowledge

a ha ha ha, I don't know what you are insinuating, MY KNOWLEDGE OF THE TAROT WAS BASED ON YEARS OF INTENSIVE STUDY.

And as you didn't pick a character, I picked one for you! Lucky you!

ARIES

Something knocked against the inside of his skull. There was snow in his sleeves. There was blood in his mouth.

He tried to sit up several times before he succeeded.

An eternity later, he got to his feet. Around him lay the snowy jumbles of limbs and torsos, blackened beyond recognition by the explosion. Nothing moved. Nothing breathed.

On a distant hill, he could see riders approaching. His brothers were coming, he thought.

With great deliberation, Ramza turned his back on them and began to pick his slow, limping way past the fortress ruins and through the fields of winter.

(I'm an Aries. I chose to believe Ramza, too, is an Aries.

We're both very much characterized by war-goddish frenzied violence, you see.

Could this icon finally be apropos?)

LIBRA (Final Fantasy Tactics)

[moemachina]

Returning at midnight, Ramza slipped on a tile, flailed off the roof, fell through thatching, and landed in a hayloft.

Lying there, Ramza felt peculiarly serene. Beneath him, he could hear chocobos whirring. In the new gap above, he could see stars and, eventually, Delita climbing unhurriedly down.

"I haven't seen these constellations before," Ramza solemnly informed him.

"God," Delita said. "Did you break anything?"

"No," Ramza said. "Maybe."

Delita pulled him to his feet. "You're going to have bruises tomorrow. And a hangover. How do you plan to climb the dormitory wall?"

"I'll just hang onto you," Ramza said.

D'aw ;_;

I don't really remember much about Libras except that they're all about BALANCE, huh? I see what you did there, mm hmm.

CANCER (Final Fantasy Tactics)

[moemachina]

(Judging by two-minute surveys of Wikipedia, it seems as if astrological signs are all about body parts and feeeeelings.)

CANCER

His first memory is eating an apple with Dycedarg.

He doubts himself. How could he not? His brothers never ventured into his nursery; his brothers barely acknowledged his existence. The memory is false.

But the memory persists: Dycedarg, against the door frame, cutting a red apple into quarters. Ramza was old enough to walk, because he remembers standing against his brother's leg and craning his head to watch what Dycedarg did. He remembers biting into an apple slice and feeling the sticky juices smear his cheeks.

He has every reason to doubt the memory, but still it remains. And festers.

YOU KNOW

You should really do all twelve of these for Tactics. I mean it just makes sense, doesn't it? I'm just saying.

By the way, thank you. <3
