Japan... Only know of the Island unfortunately and some of practiced beliefs from there. Well anyway, Cancer and your Star Sign basically delegate what sort of information about what stars you were born under. As well as how those stars and planets effect your fate inevitably. Do you follow?

Yeah yeah, I get that much now.

Though that lady seems like she was more interested in scamming me. I legit checked over my shoulder and around me for a vase that was about to break.

Was she...? Ugh, there are people on this world that want to use the science of stars and astrology for their WRONG uses. Don't ever trust anyone who wants to take money from people when the truth should be available to all who are willing to listen to it.

[ The heat in her voice... he couldn't help but smile at her, different from his usual smirk. Sure, she was frustrated, but he felt it there... her passion for this. ]

You hold all this pretty strongly, huh? That's important, having that kind of ignition in you, sparks the flames of ambition.

Maybe being a genius with the celestial heavens will take you far here.

Oh you think so? [ Mona clears her throat. A bit surprised by his very confidently placed compliment. ] I mean, of course. The celestial heavens will not hold any truth from me, I am very determined to understand all the stars that inevitably... Have ever, come to existence. That is why if you need help understanding more of this 'Cancer' sign of yours, I would gladly tell you everything you wish to know.

From what I'm told, these particular heavens above are largely suspended, no doubt a product of Avalon existing in a "timeless" state. But if anyone can parse that mystery and get some meaningful information from that, it's you.

[ He didn't need to dig deep to honor her talent. She'd shown her knowledge already. Plus, more than anything, it was her earnest passion for what she did that set his faith in her ability. ]

I don't really need to learn more, myself. I never put much in my cosmic destiny, preferring to carve my own path.

There is no real importance in needing to understand your own Comsic destiny, in a matter of speaking what I do is no less then someone who reads a written book. Even if the truths are there about your own destiny, or others. Its not as if you need to know it - in the end. What you do is already predestined, and what you become is what you were always meant to do. [ A taut nod very excitedly continuing on in the video response. ] Yes! The stars change every night within Avalon, and there are some times constellations that match up from other days. However, any Astrologist or person can know that looking at the skies any person can form their own constellations.

[ Mona starts looking through a pile of books, looking for an image to show him. ]

Yet the stars are forever expansive, their lights reach upon us and effect us wholly. No matter where we are, the stars always are an earnest celestial plane that exists upon us. Meaning, they see the eras of time and space that we ours selves cannot understand.

[ She points to her globe, settled beside her on the screen. Going on she talks still. ]

In the same way, how sciences like Alchemy works. Where chemistry works in the matter of elements and compound relationships between them. They are always strict with rules, strict with components you must follow. It is the same with Astrology, the stars all effect us. Hold truths of the past and future beyond us.

[ She lets out a little 'oh!' having found what she was looking for. ]

It's hard to say, but I am currently attempting to use my knowledge with Light Magic. To be able to find a mechanism that can measure the stars above us. [ She finds what she is looking for, and points to it within a book. It looks like a telescope but its not... ] I don't think I can find it here, I may have to work with other sorceresses and an alchemist Or a melder.... To make something like this work.

[ He peers at the diagram, nodding. He wasn't going to pretend he knew specifically what it was, but he'd worked with engineers plenty before. ]

I don't doubt you can find an engineer who could get something like that working. And with that, you'd be able to further your studies here?

[ Something she'd need... something he might be able to make real for her. ]

[ STOP NOT HIM BEING LIKE, i'll handle it. ]

An engineer... I did not think that, gosh I only purchased items. I never went through the process of asking someone to make things for me.

I had a whole group of blacksmiths and engineers I trusted back in Japan! [ Kipposhi nodded, enthusiastically. ]

I took the crafting of the rifles my armies used very seriously. Anything less than perfect wasn't at all acceptable, so of course I sought out the best craftsmen to create them!

Hm... With your expertise, do you think you would be able to find another smith here? Capable of working on a design like this for me?

[ Mona seemed to look as if she pondered this practically, a look of - Do I WANT to do this or...? ]

Charisma opens a lot of doors, and that's one thing this world can't take from me!

[ Kipposhi laughed, brightly, crossing his arms over his chest again. ]

[ Mona chuckles a bit, ]

Overconfidence is a thing too, you are aware?

[ It is said rather affectionately. ]

As it turns out, I'm exactly as confident as I should be.

[ Whether that was overconfident or not, he'd let someone else decide. He didn't particularly care. ]

I've made this my goal, and I'll see it through, no matter what.

I'll leave the matters in your hands then, of course I will pay you back accordingly regardless of what you say. Ah.. I never did tell you more about this 'Cancer' sign you were speaking of. Are you interested, or no?

[ Part of him wasn't, really. He'd consulted astrologers in the past for consultation on strategy, but even then, he so often just went with his gut on almost every decision (something that frustrated his cohorts to no end, sometimes). But...

But... she really was fascinating when she talked about that kind of thing. And he wasn't going to pass up a chance to just be an audience for it. ]

Hell yeah, lay it on me!

Cancer's are water signs, represented by the crustacean. Or Crab more accurately known, interestingly cancers rules the 4th house. [ Mona states with an excited voice, and her finger wisping around as she pulls out a book. Writing information from one, and taking from another book. ] Houses are charted segments of the sky, [ There was a map of the stars behind her, she points to that. ] only conceptually accurate of the planet Earth. There are other realms however, that follow the same system. Retaining different stars, but similar meanings and house representatives. In the same way the 28 mansions work, each house holds a meaning. In this system, there are 12 houses with corresponding meanings within the mapped sky. From there you look at the time of your birth, and the stars accurately placed.

Since Earth has - or well is aware of eight main planets. You focus on the direction of each planet. It position within the solar system, and accurately map out as well as mathematically direct meaning from each placed system in your life. [ Mona stops for a moment looking over to the screen. ] In Earth Astrology you typically only end with several planets, and their own moons. However, due to my own studies. I also utilized the constellations that are mapped over your birth and their location during that time.

This gives a more accurate depiction - however... [ Mona lets out a sorrowful sigh. ] The amount of studying one needs to do. To understand each constellation, their meaning, and the placement of their existence is a work effort in itself.

Oh. [ A moment passes and she realizes she babbled a bit. ] I am sorry I babbled again - with all that information stated. I can discern some things about you, for instance.... I can tell with some study and viewing of the stars, as a Cancer your core life were either effected by your own family. Or that you affected your family. These core values mattered to you in some way, but also the prospect of individualism.

Ah... What strong signs in your astrology! [ Mona says with a seemingly awe'd squeak. ] Truly someone marked for something great.

[ He'd been contentedly listening, nodding along, watching her face for the most part as she went about her explanation. He didn't mind the babbling at all, and felt for her when she lamented her lack of fuller understandings, or at least understandings she wanted to achieve. But when she managed to get to that bit about family... ]

... There was no mistaking your ability, huh? As it turns out... I rose to the head of the Oda Clan in a succession war with my brother, who had the support of our mother.

[ And by the sound of his tone, he didn't... really carry those memories well. There was a heavy feeling in those words, one that slothed its way into the air, enough to choke. ]

There's no need to pry into those deep memories, I will say it looks as if you are destined for greatness. The world cannot deny you, and your ethics. The sun in your stars are aligned very powerfully.

[ Mona retorts simply, because she is not aware he is a heroic spirit. ]

In truth, even if that wasn't the case... I'd defy them, those stars, and dare the heavens themselves to try and stop me.

[ A small chuckle, but again, those words held gravity to them that was impossible to deny. ]

Your ability is incredibly sharp, Mona. I'll definitely be consulting you as my tactician from now on!

... Tactician? [ Mona felt proud to hear that title... It was like she could add another point to her 'resume.' However... ] I cannot give advice ordinarily, but... If I give you a truth, and made your own decisions from it. Then that is acceptable. Adding Tactician, to the list of things I can do sounds both comical but rewarding.

[ A slight sigh, but she shrugs it off. ] That wont be nesscariy of course, you can ask me for knowledge and I am not going to turn you away. The truth is for anyone, so long as they seek it.

All the better reason to think of you as a tactician. [ Kipposhi chuckled, shifting to lay a bit more on his side, finally relaxing his posture fully. ]

A tactician should always be forthright, even if it's something their commander doesn't really want to hear. But from you, even an inconvenient truth would go down easy, being spoken from beautiful lips.

[ Okay that was probably unnecessary. ]

... HUfff. [ She huffs, having retained a even expression until the last comment. She looks away, looking as if she were a bit of a brat. ]

That was unnessicary. Why are you complimenting my lips? Aren't we having a regular conversation?

The mood to praise you seized me all of a sudden! [ Kipposhi laughed, brightly. ]

I can also read from your stars, that you say things like this often. Mind yourself around me! Demon Lord. [ Mona takes a quick breath, shes not use to dealing with people like this. Especially someone complimenting her physical looks smoothly, or with intent to - 'no thats not the case.' Mona stops herself from thinking he's doing it on purpose. Presuming hes doing it to tease her and bother her. ] Anyway, was there anything else you want to talk about? I am about to enter into more of my studies.
