They're based on when you were born- but I wouldn't bother with them, if I were you. It's all superstitious nonsense. [a pause] What did yours say? [He sounds faintly amused by the prospect.]

[voice] rezounding March 27 2011, 19:05:40 UTC

Echo does not have a horoscope.

[voice] 12second_orz March 27 2011, 19:14:35 UTC

Everyone has one. When was she- [wait, is she referring to herself in the third person? He blinks, assuming so for now, then adjusts his phrasing appropriately] - were you born?

[voice] rezounding March 27 2011, 19:24:16 UTC

Echo does not know.

They're little more than meaningless superstition. Everyone has them. They're forecasts for the next week or month. Generic statements that could apply to anyone.

Voice rezounding March 27 2011, 19:06:44 UTC

Forecasts? But they seemed to have nothing to do with the weather.

Voice ysobritish March 27 2011, 19:26:04 UTC

Forecasts aren't isolated to the weather. The word means to predict what's coming in the future. In the weather it's based on weather patterns; it's not entirely reliable, but it's close enough. With horoscopes, however, they're predicting the future for everyone born within certain dates, meaning that the prediction might come true for one or two people. So they keep them vague, so that they can't be proven wrong.

[Oh wow.. that's informative.]

Echo understands. So how do they come up with such predictions?

-- ah? Really? For me?

voice rezounding March 27 2011, 20:22:27 UTC

Yes. Echo failed to find you and wish you a happy birthday.

voice hairdecs March 27 2011, 21:08:16 UTC

That's so nice, Echo! Thank you! Oh, I can't wait to see what it is!

voice rezounding March 27 2011, 21:32:24 UTC

Echo is only doing what is right. There is nothing nice about it.

[SCREEEECH. Wait. Echo? Where has he heard that name...

Oh sweet mother of mercy. You've got to be fucking with him.]

Wait. Wait. Wait. Echo? As in "There is no Echo, only Zwei?"

That-- [You may want to private this if you want any other information out of her]

Echo has no idea what you are making reference to.

Seriously? You're gonna lie to an angel?

rezounding March 28 2011, 04:50:05 UTC

An angel? [Head tilt.]

It's like- your fortune! You know, uh- You read the one under your birthday, and that's...how your life's going to go, according to some...people who can read your fate in the stars. Supposedly, anyway.

rezounding March 28 2011, 02:11:06 UTC

Then it is important to have a birthday in order to have a horoscope. Echo will note this.

madeinoblivion March 28 2011, 03:00:11 UTC

Well- if you don't have a real one, you can always just...pick a day that seems right?

rezounding March 28 2011, 03:08:14 UTC

There are fake birthdays? [She's questioning all the wrong things here.]
