Virgo: Hello everyone! Welcome to another meeting of our book club. For last week, I believe we were supposed to read the 46th installment in the Herbert the Bunny series, entitled Herbert the Bunny Eats a Muffin. Before we get into that, are there any questions?

Cancer: Yeah, where are Taurus Gemini and Pisces?

Virgo: Apparently they had something very important to do which they couldn't get out of.

Cancer: Oh, okay.

Virgo: Any other questions?

Leo: Yes, why is Scorpio here? This was supposed to be my safe place.

Virgo: ...

Scorpio: He has a valid point.

Virgo: *Glaring at Leo* Scorpio has decided to join book club because she wants to enjoy quality litterature and intelligent conversation.

Scorpio: Taurus said there were snacks.

Virgo: Okay, so the point is, who would like to summarize the book?

Cancer: So basically what happened is Herbert eats a muffin. That's pretty much it.

Leo: Yeah, honestly I think that the Herbert the Bunny series has really gone downhill since it peaked at Herbert's birthday party.

Cancer: Pisces cried while we were reading that. He gets emotional over these books.

Leo: *Nods* It was a moving scene.

Virgo: ...

Leo: So, I assume we're moving on to the 47th one?

Virgo: Do we really have to?

Scorpio: What's it called?

Virgo: Herbert the Bunny Eats a Blueberry Muffin.

Scorpio: That sounds positively fascinating.

Leo: I can't wait!

Virgo: ... okay I'm done. Meeting adjourned. See you all in a week with a greater understanding of the taste in muffins of a fictional rabbit.

===================================

Pisces: *Runs in* Hi guys! Sorry I'm late. Are we ready?

Gemini: Where are Aries and Aquarius?

Pisces: Oh, they said they had something very important to do which they couldn't get out of.

Saggy: Okay, their loss.

Taurus: We ready?

Gemini: *Nods*

Taurus: *Boots up the craftmineblocks server*

Gemini: I love this game! I won it a few times when I was twelve.

Pisces: ...you can win craftmineblocks?

Saggy: Sure you can. You just have to brutally kill the other multiplayers enough times.

Pisces: ...you know, I think I'll sit next to Taurus.

Saggy: Your loss. *Props her feet up on the chair*

Gemini: Hey, look! A village!

Saggy: Really??? Where???

Gemini: Over here.

Pisces: ...Taurus what are you doing?

Taurus: Eating an apple, I'm hungry.

Pisces: ...we're in creative.

Gemini: Saggy, what are you doing...?

Saggy: WAHAHAHA *burning the village down*

Gemini: Oh ok. I can work with this. *Starts lighting random stuff on fire.*

Pisces: AHHH NOT MY HOUSE GEMINI *Attacks Gemini*

Saggy: LOOT THE VILLAGE... aw, no chain mail? Rats.

Pisces: GUYS PLEASE STOP

*Everythig is on fire*

Taurus: *Types in /toggledownfall*

*It starts raining and all the fires are put out*

Saggy: Yo thanks, there was no chain mail anyways.

Taurus: No problem dude

==================================

Libra: Huh, where are Virgo and Cancer?

Capricorn: Virgo said they had something very important to do which they couldn't get out of.

Libra: Oh, alright. It's just the four of us then.

Capricorn: About that... *whispers* why did you have to invite them?

*He points to Aries giving Aquarius a noogie*

Libra: Oh, come on Cap... lighten up. They heard us talking and were curious about the basement as well. Relax, they're not going to break the house.

Capricorn: *Mutters* Says you.

Libra: Guys, are we ready?

Aquarius: Sure!

Aries: Yeah!

Libra: Alright, let's go... *They climb down the ladder into the basement*

Aries: Awful lighting...

Aquarius: Wow, look at this! *Holds up a piece of metal* It's a contrifibulator! I could build a dynamicatic combustionating harvilac out of one of these!

Aries: Or, I could use it as a blunt instrument to murder people who like to show off their large vocabulary.

Aquarius: ...

Aries: Hey look! There's a shovel! I could use that to-

Libra: *Interrupts* Let's search over here...

Capricorn: Hold up, why are there a bunch of cannons down here?

Libra: Well, at least we know where the water signs got them now...

Capricorn: ...is that a complete set of 1800s encyclopedias?

Libra: Hm? Maybe.

Capricorn: *Flipping through them* Whoa, that's cool

Libra: *Amused* I've never seen you remotely interested in anything before.

Capricorn: *In awe* They're in perfect condition too...

Aries: Who are you, and what have you done with Capricorn?

Capricorn: Can someone get Aries out of my life please?

Aries: Aaaand he's back.

*There is a loud bang*

*The power flickers out*

=======================

Saggy: Yes! Diamonds! *Mining*

*The power flickers out and the server goes down*

Saggy: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

===========================

Capricorn: AQUARIUS!

Aquarius: *Runs back in, covered in soot with his hair sticking up* It wasn't my fault!

Capricorn: *Whispers to Libra* See? They're blowing up the house!

Libra: *Sighs* Aquarius, what did you do?

Aquarius: I don't know! I just touched the fuse box for like five seconds! *Mutters* With some electromagnets...

Aries: *Pulls up sleeves* I got this

Aquarius: Yeah, Aries and I can fix it! *They run out*

Libra & Capricorn: ...

Libra: I'll call the electrician and tell them our power blew out.

Capricorn: I'll call the ambulance and tell them we have two teenagers with electric burns.

Libra: ...oh no! *Runs after Aries and Aquarius*

===========================

Saggy: NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! DIAMONDS!!!!!!

Pisces: Could you try to calm down-

Saggy: YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH PISCES SO DON'T TRY

Gemini: *Sobbing in the corner* Craftmineblocks, why? Why have you abandoned us?

Pisces: Guys, we need to calm down- OH NO MY FISH *Runs off*

Taurus: *Eating chips* There there. *Pats Gemini's head*

============================

Scorpio: Does this usually happen here? Because I kind of like the look.

Virgo: No, it seems like there was a power outage.

Cancer: Huh, I wonder why.

Virgo: *Mutters* Probably Aries. Or Saggy. Or maybe Gemini or Aquarius.

Leo: Hey, what about me?

Virgo: You've been here this whole time.

Leo: ...oh yeah.

Scorpio: *Rolls her eyes* Stupid.

Leo: *Sticks out tongue* You're just jealous.

============================

Aquarius: *Lying under the fuse box, sparks flying* Now if I can just relay the power chords...

Aries: *Yelling at the fuse box* Man, you gotta get your act together! This is just sad. Some random guy hits you with a magnet, and you go and burn out? Well, toughen up! Get your fricking act together!

============================

Libra: *Calls* Guys? Where are you?

============================

Pisces: *Bursts into his room* Yes! My fishies are safe! *Sobs in relief* Charlie is safe!

============================

Virgo: Alright, I'm going downstairs to check out the fuse box.

Cancer: I'll come.

Leo: But it's dark down there...

Cancer: I have a flashlight, we'll be fine.

Leo: Alright then...

============================

Gemini: Alright... I'm good now.

Taurus: K then *eating chips*

Saggy: Me too. I'll just have to hack the computer for more diamonds. Meanwhile, we have to do the one, vital thing everyone must do during a power outage.

Gemini: What?

Saggy: *Whips out pillows* Build a pillow fort!

Gemini: *Whispers* Where did you get those...?

Saggy: Cmon, let's go into the sitting room.

Gemini: Awesome!

============================

Cancer: Alright, this is the basement.

Virgo: Let's go in and see if anyone's down here.

Leo: I see a light over there.

Cancer: Alright then we'll go that way.

*They head towards the light*

Capricorn: *Using his phone flashlight to read encyclopedias*

Cancer Leo & Virgo: ...

Capricorn: *Looks up* hello.

Cancer: ...what are you doing?

Capricorn: Reading. Do you have a problem with that?

Cancer: Ummmmm no...

Capricorn: Good. *Looks back down*

Virgo: Do you know why there's a power outage?

Capricorn: *Still looking down* Aquarius blew a fuse.

Virgo: *Mutters* Of course he did. *To everyone* Which way is the fuse box?

Cancer: This way I think, right past the cannons.

Virgo: The... I'm not going to ask.

============================

Gemini: Ayyyyy we have a lit pillow fort!

Saggy: And I, Sagittarius the Great, shall rule over pillow & cushion kingdom!

Taurus: You do you. *Eating chips*

Saggy: I, Sagittarius, as ruler of this land, demand tribute from my subjects! ...potato chips specifically.

Taurus: *Hand freezes halfway to her mouth*

Saggy: *Sticks out hand*

Taurus: ...

Saggy: ...

Gemini: ...

Taurus: no.

Saggy: Gimme

Taurus: no.

Saggy: Hmph. *Hits Taurus with a pillow*

Taurus: Ok thats it. *Puts chips aside* *Grabs a pillow* *Creams Saggy*

Saggy: *Is decked*

Gemini: Woo! Go Taurus! Power to the people! *Whacks Saggy*

Saggy: You're both gonna pay for that... *Reaches under the couch, and pulls out a super soaker*

Gemini: ...what? How is that even there?

Saggy: Remember when Aries and I pranked everyone? We found Aquarius installing something under the couch, so I checked out later what it was. Turns out he has a bunch of these installed around the house for emergencies.

Gemini: ...and he didn't tell me? I'm his best friend!

Saggy: Sorry bud. *Shoots Gemini*

Gemini: *Drowns*

Taurus: *Eating chips*

============================

Libra: Hello! Is anyone here?

============================

Virgo: It should be over here...

Aries: *Jumps out* BOO

Cancer & Leo: *Screams*

Virgo: Hello Aries.

Aries: Dangit!

Virgo: Look, you're never going to scare me so give it up.

Aries: Yeah, in your dreams maybe.

Cancer: Aries, do you know the way to the fuse box?

Aries: Yeah, it's over here. Aquarius is trying to fix it.

Leo: Ayyy that's my bro.

Aries: *Shrugs* Eh, he's probably making it worse.

Leo: Ayyy that's my bro.

Aries: I respect that.

*They walk over to the fuse box*

Aquarius: *Lying under the fuse box* ...it will cause the electricity to pool in the-

Leo: Hi Aqua!

Aquarius: *Jumps and bangs his head* Oh hi guys, I'm just fixing the power source.

Cancer: "Fixing?"

Aquarius: More or less.

============================

Pisces: *Huddled up under a blanket with his fish* Don't worry it's going to be okay

*The door creaks open*

Pisces: *Holds his breath*

*A shadow looms over the room*

Pisces: *Screams*

Scorpio: *Enters* Why are you sitting on your floor and screaming?

Pisces: OH THANK GOD ITS YOU SCORPIO

Scorpio: You're the first person who's ever said that.

Pisces: *Hugs Scorpio* I WAS SO SCARED

Scorpio: *Freezes*

Pisces: What are you doing here?

Scorpio: I came for Virgo's book club. Then the power went out and I came up here because I need to move some of Leo's statues into Gemini's room.

Pisces: But... why?

Scorpio: Just something I've been working on. Come on, we're going downstairs.

Pisces: Why?

Scorpio: Because that's where all the interesting things are happeneing, and I just remembered that Gemini recently installed a lock.

Pisces: Oh.

============================

Virgo: Does anyone have their cellphone?

Leo: No, you confiscated them for book club, remember?

Virgo: *Bangs head on wall* ugh

Aquarius: *From under the box* Guys we don't need an electrician! Aries and I have got this!

Aries: *To the fuse box* You suck! You have no life! Your parents are dissapointed in you!

Virgo: Un huh.

Cancer: Alright, I'll go find Capricorn and ask him for his phone.

Leo: Okay, we'll be here.

Cancer: I'll be right back. *Leaves*

============================

Libra: People! Where are you! *Looks around* Where is everyone?

*Silence*

Libra: This is a pretty big basement, isn't it?

*Silence*

Libra: *Looks around* Which way leads back to the stairs?

*Silence*

Libra: Guys...?

============================

Saggy: Go.

Gemini: I'm very sorry for upsetting her majesty, Sagittarius the Great, and I will never again doubt her authority.

Saggy: Good.

Gemini: What I don't get is how Taurus got off scott free.

Taurus: *Shrugs* *eating chips*

Gemini: So, now what?

Saggy: Now we do fort stuff.

Gemini: ..such as?

Saggy: Hm, I'm not really sure. When I'm with Aries we fight so much that the fort never gets built.

Gemini: Fair.

Saggy: This is the first one not to collapse-

*The fort collapses*

Gemini: AHHH- wait, why did someone just jump on the roof?

Scorpio: Hi.

Gemini: AHHHHHHH

============================

Cancer: Hey, Cap? *Arrives at the encyclopedias* *No one is there* Just great. *Leaves*

============================

Saggy: Scorpio? What are you doing here?

Scorpio: Virgo's book club.

Gemini: Oh yeah.

Pisces: Nice fort! Can we come in?

Saggy: Sure, as long as you say the password.

Pisces: *Confused* The password?

Saggy: Okay, you're in! Once you rebuild the ceiling.

Scorpio: No thanks I have better things to do than sit in a mound of pillows.

Taurus: We have snacks.

Scorpio: Scooch over. *Climbs into the fort* *Eats some chips*

Saggy: No fair, how come she gets to have your chips?

Taurus: She asked nicely.

Gemini: *Confused* But she didn't...

Saggy: Can I please have some chips?

Taurus: Sure. *Hands Saggy some chips*

============================

Libra: *pacing* Okay, so I took a right earlier, so all I have to do is go back and go left.... *Walks over* Dangit! No, this isn't where I was... I can try somewhere else, over here... *Walks* I need a flashlight... where can I find a flashlight... *Paces* Okay, I just need to focus, I need to calm down... GUYS! ... Focus... *Sees a light comeing towards her* *Yells* Is that you? *Runs towards the light*

Person: *Turns around* Hello?

Libra: I'm over here!

Capricorn: *Turns down the flashlight* Libra?

Libra: *Runs up to Capricorn and hugs him* Cap! I'm so glad to see you!

Capricorn: *Awkwardly pats Libra's back* Umm yeah me too... Libra, what were you doing out here?

Libra: I, uh, didn't know the way back. And I forgot my flashlight. What are you doing? I thought you were reading your encyclopedias.

Capricorn: They can wait. I have a flashlight now, so- *The flashlight flickers out* Oh you've got to be fricking kidding me.

Libra: *In the darkness* You know the way back, right?

Capricorn: Um... I used landmarks...

Libra: *Sighs* It's okay. At least I'm not lost alone anymore.

Capricorn: Yeah. At least there's two of us.

============================

Cancer: *Returns* Capricorn's gone. Plus, I don't think he had his phone either.

Virgo: *Sighs* We'll just have to go back upstairs for a phone... I just don't like leaving Aries and Aquarius near something flowing with electricity.

Leo: Yeah, guys, we have to go.

Aquarius: *From under the fuse box* One sec!

Aries: You imbecile! You complete retard! If you don't start working again right this instant, I'll-

*The power comes back on*

Aries Cancer Leo Virgo & Aquarius: ...

Aries & Aquarius: I DID IT!

Aries & Aquarius: YOU MEAN WE DID IT! *High five*

Virgo: ...or that works too.

Leo: Wooooo I can see again! Even though the lighting system down here is really really bad!

Cancer: Great. *Smiles*

Virgo: Let's go back upstairs before we break it again.

Aquarius: Stop trying to take credit for my mistakes.

Aries: Yeah Virgo, let the guy have his moment.

Leo: I'm gonna go get food! Who's coming?

Aries: OOH ME

*Everyone follows Leo back upstairs*

============================

Libra: The power's back on!

Capricorn: Perfect. Now we can get out of here.

Libra: In the future I'll take your advice about not letting Aries and Aquarius near anything important.

Capricorn: Eh if you think so.

Libra: *Looks at Capricorn questioningly* Alright. *They make their way out of the basement*

============================

Gemini: The power's back on!

Saggy: Awwwww

Pisces: Yay!

Scorpio: Ugh light.

Taurus: *Eating chips*

Gemini: Hey guys want to go finish our craftmineblocks game?

Taurus Saggy & Pisces: Sure

Saggy: Wait Scorpio do you play craftmineblocks?

Scorpio: Do Gemini Leo and Aquarius have the intelligence of a sea sponge?

Saggy: Cool, you can join us then.

Scorpio: I have better things to do.

Taurus: Like what?

Scorpio: ...really important stuff.

Pisces: It can wait. *Drags Scorpio into the game room with them*
