The ram, the bull, the heavenly twins,
And next the crab, the lion shines,
The virgin and the scales,
The scorpion, archer, and the goat,
The man who holds the watering-pot,
And fish with glittering scales.

These are the signs of the zodiac by order of house and age,
Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces

But what if there was another, One who had been cast away by their fellow Zodiac? Ophiuchus. The thirteenth house and ruler of Pluto, a planet that had been denied its place just as Ophiuchus was. he seeks revenge now. 2,500 years after his banishment he is returning to destroy those who have wronged him. The only question is, will it play out like this? Would he be welcomed back into the system, will a fellow Zodiac betray there own and join Ophiuchus's side? Or will Ophiuchus kill the 12 Zodiacs? Only time will tell....

Dakota Silver
Female | 19 Years | Location: Zodiac House | Mentions: Autumn

Dakota hummed before speaking, "Are you hungry?" she randomly asked as a sudden craving for strawberry's came over her.

((*Doesn't know what to do* ))

Caleb / Town / Mentions Cancer

Caleb mentally noted Nathaniel's request, putting his hands in his pocket as he casually walked to town-- he was used to helping people, and well, if he was going to buy cookies for everyone, why not get some oysters? He'd admit that he never really got the chance to eat many of them, though part of the reason was that he wasn't a big enough fan of them to actually go through the effort of getting them, so maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to keep some of them for himself? Of course, he'd have to google how to cook them... or maybe get Nathaniel to cook them for him, with him being the one zodiac that really cared for seafood. Heck, he'd probably do it without complaining too much, given that Caleb was the one buying the oysters in the first place...

He quickly found his way to the bakery, the one that he dropped by every week to get his bread. He entered, to meet-- huh, this must have been a new employee. He's never seen this girl before, not to mention that she seemed to be slightly overwhelmed. Was this her first day? Caleb looked at the freshly-baked trays of sweets, opting out of asking for her recommendation. There were the sugar cookies that he'd first thought of getting Pisces, but then, would she prefer the giant chocolate chip cookie? What about the mousse cake on the top shelf?

...He'd ended up getting all 3, much to the chagrin of the cashier. Well, to be more precise, he got 1 matcha-flavored mousse cake cup for Virgo, two giant cookies for Sasori and Pisces, a box of sugar cookies and a chocolate mousse cake (for, well... everyone). Hopefully enough to last everyone a week... He headed out of the store, arms filled with plastic bags, as he looked for somewhere that would sell good seafood.

Nathaniel | Location: Zodiac House | Mentions: Cas
And there was the wall. I'll take that as a yes Nathaniel noted before letting the silence between them linger. He was still going to push, being the curious fellow that he was, but, he knew he couldn't push too hard. "Have you ever wanted to try it with someone else, someone you weren't contracted to?". For Nathaniel, it was a pretty simple yes or no question but, then again, he hadn't lived his life serving other people.

Castilian Blue
Male | 21 HY/221 KY | Location: Living Room | Mentions: Nathaniel
(current form: Human-->Blind/Deaf Human )

He gave a low huff. Slowly tearing his attention off the Tv and began turning his head to look down at Nathaniel. His eyes showed he wasn't pleased, and seemed to roar like a dark ocean storm. He won't stop won't he? he thought to himself, feeling something simmer inside of him, his guess was anger. He blinked his eyes now became clouded, and his hearing dimmed. " Just leave me alone." he said finally, his voice was low and was muffled as he began to shift in the recliner. His position was now were his knees were brought up to his chest and his back was facing Nathaniel. His head was dugged into the recliners soft pillow-like cushions. It was his attempt of making things go away. If he had the power he would try to make himself become invisible, but alas he hasn't been working on it. If only..

Sasori Akomi | Scorpio | Woods | Mention: Lily

Sasori smiled as he felt Lily bury her head in his hair. "Your just as shy as one too." He said softly as he suddenly felt Lily's grip tighten slightly. "Koi fish are pretty maybe we could buy some from your room, I know some Japanese people would but them in this pot thing. I can make this whole little bamboo water fall thing as well if you want." He said already thinking of things to do for Lily's room. He heard the passing of a car and grabbed Lily to put her on the ground again. He pulled out his phone and dialed someone. "Are you at the spot I told you to be at... Ok cause we are close by... Me and my girlfriend... No you can't come... No this is just a day for us... Bye Jake.." He said as he hung up the phone and sighed closing his eye in annoyance. "Man sleep with guy once and he thinks he owns you." He said under his breath before remembering Lily stood bext to him. *Crap did she hear, would she be mad about meeting a guy I have slept with numerous time.* He thought to himself self as he walked out the woods and into the side of the road. His turned as he heard some honking and saw a man waving to them excitedly. He grabbed Lily hand and started to walk up to the car which was a jet blak 1969 ford mustang boss 429. "Glad you took care of my baby, I did spend alot on her." He told tge man who was tanned with dirty blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes. "Well I knew how much she means to you." Jake said with a shy smile before glancing at Lily, his smile disappearing and his eyes became cold with jealousy. "Oh yeah Jake this is Lily my girlfriend and Lily this is Jake my friend." He said giving Jake a warning stare. "Not what you were saying when... Oww Sasori that hurt." Jake said rubbing the back of his head. "You should learn how to stay quiet, besides me and Lily haven't done anything besides kiss, hug, and hold hands." Sasori said before leading Lily to the car.

Millicent Devon|♍|Forest|Mentions: Darius

The tension radiating from Darius was enough to off-put Virgo. It was common, but, she'd see the zodiac angry now and then. The aura of energy surrounding him felt almost suffocating to be around. It was like his own little ward, the wordless warning to "Fuck off before I break you in half". She despised that wave of tense energy, just rolling along in massive waves like a tsunami.

She wasn't scared off easily, Virgo would never dart. Unless the scenario held to much reminders of.. that day. Flames caused by erupted vehicles devouring away at the foliage surrounding the two celestials. The serpent's yawning jaws producing a nose burning stench fueled by the digested remains of older victims. Haunting, sickly alabaster eyes gazed down, the scrutiny held in them imprinted in her head as she expected death that blazing night.

Nothing more then another easy meal for the Hydra.

Blinking away the sudden spring up of memory, she glared up at Darius as the fiery feline strode closer. Millicent's heartbeat escalating as fire devoured his stare and hands.

Having the two fire blessed orbs shot to either side, Virgo scrambled up from the ground. A sharp breath was pulled in through slightly parted lips before they twisted into a sneer when Leo spoke. like hell she wasn't going to follow him. The bastard went from being calm earlier back to a sudden snappy mood without her even being there.

She held no desire for him to leave, she doubted the others wanted him to leave as well. "The hell?" Millicent breathed out. She pushed herself away from the tree the moment he spun and darted.

"Darius, what the hell are you even going on about?" she snapped, raising her voice as she did her best to follow in pursuit. She was mind blown, didn't he have the others to converse with? Pisces, Sagittarius? When the hell did he suddenly conceptualize and nurture the very idea of the twelve wanting him out of the picture?

Following him was, more difficult then it should've been. It was like the damned forest was grabbing at her, pulling her back. Hell, at times she couldn't even locate him.

Nine months in the hell hole of a forest proved an upper hand in traversing. Virgo's steps slowed as she soon came to a halt. Yea, like hell should would be catching up. She'd lost track of the zodiac.

"Hardy har har. The irony of being an Earth sign and failing miserable because I'm getting tripped by a forest." she mused in a soft tone, though her words were harsh. Her eyes flicked about her surroundings, talking in the blur of sprouts, elderly trees and overgrowth of floral. Along with the sudden drops and lifts in the land, providing different sets of view for whom ever traversed.

Nathaniel | Location: Zodiac House | Mentions: Cas
When Cas curled up, Nathaniel knew to stop. He was an asshole, yes, but he knew when enough was enough. Pushing himself to a standing position, he used the remote one last time to switch to a show about butterflies. Man, humans sure love their documentary, he thought as he headed towards the kitchen. At least when Cas came out of his bubble, he'd have something pleasant to watch. Switching back to the issue at hand, Nathaniel opened the fridge and surveyed the contents. The events from earlier were starting to take a toll on his huger and if he was going to pass out, he was going to do it on a full belly. It didn't take long for him to make an omelet and he scarfed it down. Shooting one last look at Cas, Nathaniel headed up stairs. The darkness of his room was a blessed sight and the cool air that swept over his skin as he pulled off his sweatshirt was an even more experience. He fell onto his bed and let his much needed nap consume him.

Lily Gander (Pie)
Female | 18 HY/9,000 ZY | Location: Woods-->Road | Mentions: Castilian, Sasori & Jake

Her grin grew wider. " Yeah that be great! Cas would like it to! I'm pretty sure that Kitsune's are Japanese creatures." she murmured to him with excitement. She didn't know much about Earth and how human traditions go, but she was darn good at knowing her animals, myth or not. The endless possibilities of how she could decorate her room to where she felt like Cas would like as well as her lingered within her mind. Maybe we can make the room a Japanese themed? she really enjoyed the thought of customising her room. She was partially hoping that bringing what people called culture into her room, particularly Cas's, would help mend the frail bond she had between her and Cas. She suddenly felt a slow decend, then she was lightly tugged off. Oh we must be here! she thought, wanting to spend little time waiting and was anxious to shop.

She turned to face Sasori, who had just hunged up on the phone with someone. Her head slightly tilted at what he said. Slept with? Sleep over? she was slightly curious on what he had ment. Though her being so innocent, she didn't think about it in a wrong way. Then she felt a jump joilt through her, What was that!?! she thought, feeling her heart beat become haste. She quickly became relieved when she realized it was the honk of a car. Then she saw a man hop out, chatting with Sasori. She gave a smile, lifting her arm as if to wave but abruptly stopped when she noticed the man giving her a displeasing stare. Did I do something wrong? she thought. Then she watched as Sasori gave the man a quick slap to the back of the head, making her wonder, did he notice the glare he gave me? Is that why he smacked him or was it because of what he was about to say? she was curious, but kept quiet. She was a bit skeptical about entering the car with the newer person, and showed a bit of reluctantness as Sasori led her to the car, but she soon let it go reassuring herself that she could trust Sasori. If Scorpio trusts this man..then I do to.

Castilian Blue
Male | 21 HY/221 KY | Location: Living Room | Mentions: Nathaniel (Brief), open
(current form: Deaf/Blind Human-->Human )

He kept quiet, though it wouldn't have made a difference. He was currently deaf, so he wouldn't be able to hear himself. He felt the presences of movement behind him, but then it vanished after a few moments. Nathaniel must have left. he thought to himself. His vision became clear, and he was able to hear the murmurs of the Tv. He turned his head over his shoulder, wanting to see if his guess was true. So he did leave. He unraveled himself from his tight ball that he was in. He then looked up at the Tv, noticing that it was something he would find interesting. He didn't bother wondering were Nathaniel went, slightly relieved that he was free of being pestered but an odd void in the room. He shook it off as he got himself into a more natural and comfortable position in the recliner and began to watch the Tv.

Sasori Akomi | Scorpio | Road>>Town | Mention: Lily, npc friend, Rosina

Sasori let Lily sit on the passenger side and made Jake sit in the back, though he groaned and mumbled as he climbed to the back. Sasori sat behind the wheel a big smile on his face, he took a deep breath before turning ut on. The motor started with a loud rumble sending a chill down his back, excitement blazing in his eyes. "Oh man listen to her purr." He said as he tapped the gas a few times, he looked at Lily then at Jake who just nodded with a mischievous grin. "Might wabt to put your seatbelt on." He said as he put the the car on drive. "Gotta test my baby's speed." He said before speeding off, his tires throwing up pebbles and dirt before moving foward.

Sasori pushed on the gas quickly reaching eighty per hour. He could feel the vibration of the engine, he shifted gears before pushing more on the gas and went beyond a hundred. Jake reached over to grab the aux cord and connected it to Sasori's phone which he grabbed from his lap. "What song should I put on Sasori?" Jaked asked as Sasori passed the one hundred, twenty five mark mile per hour mark. "Put Mind by Skrillex on." He looked at Lily and smiled warmly. "That's my song to you." He said as the music started to play, Jake again felt jealousy burn in his viens.

"You love how you push me to the point of crazy
And I love when you're on your knees and begging for me
You got me good with all these mind games
There you go, you got my heart again
Say my name, I wanna hear you call
Hold me close, I wanna feel your heart
I'm in a cold sweat and I want you bad
Now you got me all in my head, like damn"

Sasori sang lightly scraping his index finger under Lily's chin as he gave her a flirty smile and a wink. He attention was caught when he felt a another zodiac approaching them. "No way, Sagittarius?' he sais as he eased off the gas a little as he past the brunette on the motorcycle. "Oh hell yeah, finally someone who likes to party." He said as Jake laughed lightly. "What is Rosina doing all the way out here, don't tell me you all live together." Jake said with a raised eyebrow. "Well me and Lily do, Rosina might stay for a while but that girl is a rolling stone." Sasori chuckled softly as he slowed down to sixty-five miles an hour. "Really alone or with other people, oh can I stay at your house too?" Jake said with an excited look. "No Taur.. er uh, Dakota isn't fond of people she doesn't know staying at our house." He said giving Lily a quick glance.

*Really it's cause our house is full of supernatural beings, and Jake would freak out then try to make friends, and finaltry to convince someone he knows people with powers.* He thought to himself as they neared the town. "I will let you visit some day ok we can have a small party or something." He said trying to cheer up his friend who pouted in the back seat. "Your such a little kid sometimes Jake." Sasori said with a warm smile. "Well you love it when I call you daddy." Jake responded with a wink. "No denying that at all." He said with a small chuckle besides Lily, Jake and Rosina where the only people he felt comfortable around with. "That's history though I got Lily now, and I really want to work things out with her." He said running his hand through his hair while he waited for a light to turn green.

"You were always too honest Sasori." Jake said as he saw a couple of his friends and pushed Sasori's seat foward. "I am going to get out here." He said opening the door and crawling out. "Oh Lily listen to a song called Fuck Away The Pain by Divided The Day, it pretty much sums up mine and Sasori's relationship." He said with a mischievous smile before closing the door. "And I will wait for when she does the same thing, I will always be the one to heal your pains." Jake said before walking away, Sasori fixed his seat and gave a heavy sigh. "Don't listen to him, he just always has to be the center of attention." He said before driving off. "D-don't listen to that song, ok." He said not wanting Lily to know she spent a joyride with a person her boyfriend use to have sex with.
---------------------------------------------------
Rosina Valquez | Sagittarius | Road>>Woods | Mention: Sasori, Lily

Rosina was speeding down the highway soon feeling the strong energy of Sasori and Lily as she saw a black car going the opposite direction. "Scorpio and Pisces huh, wonder what an innocent person like Pisces is doing with a rebellion like Scorpio?" She said looking back at them. "Oh man I miss that energetic fool." She chuckled as she pressed the gas, she soon reached the area that the Gps said to enter. "Been a while since I been on hike, but Taurus should really make a path way to the house." She said as she entered the woods pushing her motorcycle next to her.

"Hungry? Yeah." Autumn replied. She proped herself up o her elbows. "Strawberries." She said. She looked at Dakota's neck where a bite mark was. She had gotten a bit out of control. "That doesn't hurt, right?"

Lapis James
Female | 19 Years | Location: Zodiac House | Mentions: Caleb

Lapis grinned as she walked, her eyes following the form of Gemeni. It may have been a long time since she had seen the Zodiac but there way no way she would have forgotten his energy. She didn't think she could forget any of the Zodiacs energy's actually. Not with what they had done... She bitterly thought as she darted into a nearby alleyway, to avoid being caught. it was only a moment later that she figured that if she could sense Gemeni, he could sense her. With this in mind Lapis left her hiding spot and sauntered up behind Gemeni, "Miss me?" She whispered in his ear before leaning back, a crazed smile crossing her features as she waited for the Zodiacs reaction.

Dakota Silver
Female | 19 Years | Location: Zodiac House | Mentions: Autumn

Dakota hummed before speaking as she idly touched the mark. "No not really. Even if it did I wouldn't mind. It's a good reminder~"

Lily Gander (Pie)
Female | 18 HY/9,000 ZY | Location: Road-->Town| Mentions: Sasori, Jake, & Rosina

She began to feel slightly queasy. She wasn't expecting the sudden rush of acceleration as she quickly put her seatbelt on. Her attention averted from feeling uneasy and onto Sasori who had mentioned that the song about to play would explain his feelings for her, or something like that. It wasn't hard to hear since it was playing loud, but her heart was pounding that the sound of thumbing filled her ears rather than Sasori's song. So the small chat that happened between Sasori and Jake was unheard. She was to busy trying to calm herself down from withing, but her outside appearance showed no sign of distress. She felt the faint tap of Sasori's finger under her chin, making her turn her head and forced a smile on her face. It looked pretty authentic, but she was just faking since she personally wasn't enjoying the ride. Her head turned when she noticed someone pass by, but she didn't notice who it was until Sasori mentioned her. Rosina, she remembered her, though they didn't talk that much. Soon she calmed down when the car had stopped and Jake left, telling her one last thing. Song? Then Sasori had warned her not to listen. Why not? she thought, but nodded to Sasori.

Sasori Akomi | Scorpio | Town | Mention Lily

Sasori had stayed quite as Jake's words rang in his ears. *Lily wouldn't hurt me like Fernando did.. No of course not, she isn't anything like him.. Damn it Jake, now you have me thinking.*He thought to himself with a soft sigh, he glanced at Lily before shaking his head slightly. *No she is nothing like him.* He thought before spotting a parking spot, after he parked he put a wheel-lock on it before getting out. "Come on babe, let's stroll through the town." He said with a warm smile before connecting his earbuds to his phone abd started to play a song. He left on earbud hang so he can her when Lily spoke to him. "Thought of any themes for your room yet?" He askes with a charming smile.

Darius Albescu | Leo | 20 Years | Forest -> Town | Millicent, Nathaniel

Darius said nothing as Millicent attempted - And failed - to chase after him. He knew that he should probably listen to her for once, deep down inside, but he didn't care to heed his gut. Right now, it was churning in the midst of a sea of anger that drowned him and strangled him. If he hadn't gotten Millicent off of his tail, he didn't know what he would've done. Probably nothing, knowing his internal cowardice, but he didn't want the others to find him. He wanted to leave hardly a trace. They could whine and look for him all they wanted - He knew that the instant they found him, if they did, they'd scold him for being childish.

It was too late. If you treat the cat badly, he will eventually run off.

It wasn't long before Darius managed to retreat into the depths of the forest, and then out the other side into some old parking lot behind a Wal-Mart. There were a few cars parked here and there, but other than that, no one was really present. The asphalt stank from the sun bearing down on it all day, smelling of ash and rubber. He wrinkled his nose in disgust, pausing to regain his sense of direction as he shifted from rural to suburban atmosphere. It took him a moment, but he was able to orient himself well enough to know he had traveled far enough away to remain tucked away from the other Zodiac. He was practically on the other side of the town - But at the cost of his mortal legs beginning to give a dull ache. Adrenaline and anger had pushed him to this point, but now, it was taking its toll on his stressed, malnourished form. His golden eyes gleamed with extreme anger, only getting more fed up with the situation he was in.

After a moment of pondering, Darius groaned and marched forward, towards the Wal-Mart. He could probably conjure up a fake ID and buy some liquor and drown his sorrows as he was apt to. Maybe he'd feel better when he had a terrible hangover and his knuckles were bloody from punching a brick wall since he couldn't find a sorry sack of meat to pummel for some crude comment they might make.

He felt a small twitch in his pocket where his wallet was stored. All it took was a fudging of one digit on his license - After all, he was 20 in mortal years. He would complain more about the drinking age in America, but he couldn't, exactly. They existed to keep stubborn assholes like him from losing their temper and doing dumb shit. Alas, he wouldn't follow that rule, even if it made sense. He needed a pack of smokes and a nice bottle of whiskey to lull him into a false state of strength and courage. It wasn't exactly like it would make him feel better, but it was something of an addiction that he couldn't shake.

Nathaniel wouldn't like that, Darius, a little voice in his head murmured to him. Darius nearly shoved open the automatic doors in a fit of sudden anger, scaring some old lady carrying out her groceries. He glanced at her apologetically, although with his beraggled appearance, it probably was only more unsettling. She scurried off, and Darius only thought back to the voice in his head.

I don't give a f___ what Nathaniel likes.

Darius shook his head, heaved a sigh, and pushed through the aisles. His shoulders were hunched, hands shoved deep within his pockets with a look of pure irritation on his face. It earned him frightened looks from staff and customers alike, but it prevented people from bothering him as he browsed the booze with the same scrutiny as... Well, nothing. He grabbed the first bottle of whiskey he found and strode towards the check-out. He heard a mother with her child muttering something about alcoholism. Bah, she was right. Not that he cared.

Waste himself away! Ah, that sounded like a treat. If only mortal poisons could kill him. That would be a sweet relief.

The dark-haired manchild strode towards the aisle, empty aside from the discontented cashier, who eyed him with a mixture of distrust and unease. The blue-eyed clerk looked over him for a moment, nose wrinkling faintly. It was clear that she'd rather be working anywhere other than Wal-Mart. It was also clear that she was a teenager. Darius decided to spare her the dirty looks, merely looking like his usual scowly self as he set down the bottle on the conveyor belt uselessly. He stared at her expectantly, hoping no words would have to be exchanged for this. Oh, other than requesting a pack.

"Can I have a pack of smokes?" Darius muttered. The cashier looked annoyed, sweeping the pink-dyed hair from her shoulder and turning to grab it. To his surprise, but also content, she didn't card him as she probably should have. Perhaps his disheveled appearance was enough to get him what he wanted. For once, looking like a slob had earned him something. She rang him up quickly, eager to get him out of the store, and practically shoved him out of the line. Not that there were any other customers to tend to.

Bottle of whiskey, smokes, and lighter in hand, Darius marched out of the Wal-Mart and back to the parking lot, though this time he situated himself at a secluded place where, if he had friends, might have brought suspicions of illegal activity. A nice place, near the electric and water base for the stores nearby, hidden away from the public eye so that the cops wouldn't haul him into prison and inevitably force him to call the other Zodiac to bail him out or risk serving time for being intoxicated in public. Without further ado, he pried the lid from the liquor and downed a swig in a dramatic motion. It burned running down his throat, but he found it to be not at all unpleasant. If anything, it felt... Somewhat relieving.

Darius slumped to the ground against a small wall, closing his eyes for a moment of peace. He heard the sounds of suburbia gently whispering in his ears, cooing him into a sense of security. There were no auras to be felt nearby to suffocate him with magical energy. There was, of course, the faintest of thrums in the distance, but other than that.... Peace and clean air.
