ARIES

• Work out. Then again, why bother?
  
• Your socks don't match.
  
• Your clothes all need to be replaced.
  
• Your usually dominant manner is replaced by a coy submissiveness today. Go with it.

[When Pao-lin receives her horoscopes on Friday the 25th, she doesn't really think much of them -- she isn't into that kind of thing, and anyway she's too occupied

[Catching her during girly shenanigans, is Amiti. Because he'll just accidentally bump into her at the bakery, a bit disoriented because A BAKERY IS CLEARLY THE LAST PLACE LUNCHMEAT WOULD BE RIGHT......]

[Action]

[acuitas]

That will be perfectly fine. What business do you have here?

[Pao-lin shifts her stance a little to show the book she's cradling in her other arm.]

I was going to read, but I don't mind spending time with a friend, either. Especially b-because I haven't seen you for a while. [Wonder why that is.]

[Action]

[acuitas]

Ah...well...

[GEE I WONDER WHY.]

We have all been busy, I suppose. Especially with experiments...

[Action]

[lightningcute]

[Nods.]

And I spent most of November planning for the mural near the Welcome Center...have you seen it yet? I think it turned out pretty nice.

[Action]

[acuitas]

Yes, I have. It is very well made...is drawing or painting another talent of yours?

[Passing by a few times, he's even heard the announcements about it. He's more musically inclined than artistically inclined, unfortunately, or else he would've helped as well.]

[Action]

[lightningcute]

Mmm-hmm! I've been doing it since I was a kid, but being a Hero back home I didn't have as much time to work on it as I used to in the past few years. And I've definitely never done anything as big as a mural before.

[Action]

[acuitas]

Your work certainly shows the experience of years of practice.

[Action]

[lightningcute]

[Another blush.]

That's very nice of you to say...I still have a long way to go in my skills, though.

[Action]

[acuitas]

[So moe. And no, he still hasn't realized what's wrong with the moe in the first place.]

Nothing practice cannot improve.

[Action]

[lightningcute]

[She nods.]

Talent can get you started, but you have to keep working at it, otherwise it will be wasted.

[She finally selects two donuts from the pastry case, both with pink frosting and colored sprinkles.]

[Action]

[acuitas]

[He nods, and follows her lead, selecting...something from the pastry case. Well, he was going to, before some lunch meat

FLIES OUT OF THE PASTRY CASE

and hits him in the face.]

[This is inner!Pao-lin.]

[Action] 2/2

[lightningcute]

[This is outer!Pao-lin.]

[Action]

[acuitas]

[He angrily peels the lunch meat off his face...]

Where did this even-?!

[lightningcute]

[Pao-lin backs away, looking extremely worried and scared.]

I-is it dead? [And can she eat it with some wheat bread and Swiss cheese?]
