~Gemini (Pollux)~

So. A city. The entire time the other Zodiac councillors have been arguing, I have been conversing with Castor in my head. She has a knack for noticing what I do not; this time it is the fact that we are not far from the city. I cannot judge how long it would take to get there, though. At full power it would take a tiny fraction of a second. With this unfamiliar mode of movement - the two feet that, it would seem, are my own - maybe hours, or days.

Cities mean people. Human people. They also mean many, many things I must notice all at once, many dangers I cannot begin to comprehend. I feel vulnerable enough already, tied to this weak human frame, feeling the drag of gravity every moment. I am like a child and I do not like it. But I know who does.

Wait. Me? You'd actually do that while they're fighting?

You heard me. Take the body. They need your empathy right now, more than my logic. I think Lady Justice might be mad at me, as well.

She is, kinda. A little. She thinks you're rude sometimes.

She is...not wrong.

Oh, come on. Cheer up! We've only been to Earth a couple times before, when some of their infighting got out of hand, and that was just changing a few minds to keep them from blowing themselves up, nothing really fun. You see gravity and all that, I see a chance to look around!

Exactly my point. Why don't we - switch - off -

There. That's better. Pollux?

Here.

Alrighty then. Let's follow the others. We've got a city to explore.

~Lady Leo, a. k. a. Lorelai

Kerrr-thunk.

I hit the ground with a squish, a think, or a mixture of the two.  As I slowly squint my eyes open, i cover the sun with my hand.  Wait.  What.  Hand?  I sit up quickly.  Am I . . . Human?

I look around.  I spot many trees, a mix of different shades of green, brown, and specks of colors on the ground.  Flowers.  I feel the ground underneath me.  I try to think of the world this was, if it was one I had created.  There was a small chance that I hadn't created this world, for I was the lady of Creativity, the planet-maker, the galaxy-maker.  A ingle wrd appears into my mind.

Earth.

I try to stand, but I am unsteady on my two legs.  I decide o crawl.  It would be easier for now.  I remember creating this world to be beautiful.  All that seemed so far away from here.  So far away from the heavens.  I spot a river, and head towards it.  I look at the reflection which imitated my actions.  My reflection.

There's a small cut on my forehead, blood slowly dripping into my green eyes.  A grubby, dirty, colorful apron was on me.  I brush long, brown, straight hair with ble tips behind my ears, and stand again.  This time, I have more of a hang of it.

I find myself near a cave, but not a second before I become more aware of my surroundings, a drop of -- what's the word? -- water falls onto my forehead, stinging the wound.  I hurry to the cave, and I don't realize until I am inside that there are 11 other people there.

There's a girl with ridiculously red eyes, a a girl with mismatched black-and-white eyes, a girl with dark hair with different colored highlights, a ginger-haired girl, an Asian girl with a scarf, a tall boy, a girl with blue hair, and a few more.  One of them asks, "What's your name?"

I had to think of something, quick, but I don't at the same time.  "Leo.  I-I mean, Lorelai.  Or whichever."  I add to myself, "But I don't remember creating any of the people in this room . . ."

Sorry, I don't know what's happening right now -_- 

I'm going to make Libra much vainer, to make her less of a Mary Sue. She's still nice to everyone but is very irritated by them on the inside.

Also, probably every Zodiac hates Libra for being such a goody two shoes. I'm starting to hate her myself.

Libra~

So. It was decided that we should decide to go to the city. I'm a little impressed they actually got through that without arguing for hundreds of years. They would usually ask for me or Gemini's help.

While we start forward, I wonder if I would be able to get any good clothing. While what I was wearing at the moment was... Alright, it would be better to get something that looked decent.

I wonder how these humans govern themselves. Do they make mistakes? Are they quick to decide things? Are they swallowed by corruption and greed? I suppose that we Zodiacs have these problems as well, but at least in... Lesser amounts.

"I think the city is nearby, in this direction," Gemini points to her left. I nod silently.

"Perhaps we should separate once we get to the city," I suggest calmly. "I think we need our time to ourselves, to think wisely about our future. Our mind becomes clouded in these ill-tempered arguments."

There is grumbling, but they are smart enough--For once-- to listen to my decisions.
