[Here’s Huaisang sitting on the edge of a park fountain, wearing trousers for once.]
Greetings Lunatia! I’m Nie Huaisang.
I’d like to invite you all to attend my birthday party coming up next week. I’ll be renting an event center for it, and I hope that it will be a very grand event. There will be dancing, drinking, a buffet, a lottery, games and competitions.
Please dress as extravagantly as possible, whatever that means to you. I’ll be wearing a ball gown. Even if we haven’t met before, please come! Bring a date. Or two.
Gifts welcomed. See you there!
((OOC: Party log to be posted on or around May 20th.))

In HuangDao, the year is divided into thirteen periods that are aligned with one constellation. Each of these is governed by a Star Master, and the people born in that time period are their people.
I am the Star Master of the Aquarius, from mid-January to mid-February. If your birthday is next week, that would put you as being born under the Taurus constellation.
And since we usually assign some character traits to people respective of their star sign, I do wonder how well you match yours.
no subject
Oh, I see. We divide the stars into twenty-eight houses. Astrology is determined through a complex system of day, year, cycle.
What traits are mine? what if people don't like the traits that are assigned to them?
no subject
In general, people born under the sign of the Taurus are practical, loyal and trustworthy, but they have a tendency towards laziness and self-indulgence.
[Do you feel called out yet, Nie Huaisang?]
They like stability and enjoy material comforts such as good food. They are also extremely committed and focused, both in their endeavors and as partners. They are also creative and appreciative of the arts or good artists themselves.
But that can also make them fearful of change and obstinate at times. However, for one such as you, born on the cusp of Gemini, the air sign would counterbalance this a little and make you more mentally agile and able to adapt on the fly, while also very resolute and determined to never give up.
[Do you see now why he finds you interesting, Huaisang?]
no subject
How interesting! I suppose it's more accurate than not. [Huaisang tips his head and considers this as if Beitang's words had painted a very broad picture rather than hitting the target with precision every time.] It's true that I'm lazy and artistic.
So does it simply describe likely traits, rather than prescribing expected behavior?
no subject
I am the Star Master of the Aquarius. From your world... Lan Wangji was born under the sign of the Aquarius. I suppose it is no wonder we do get along quite well.
no subject
[He taps his chin thoughtfully. What a pleasant but mostly-inaccurate little form of analysis! It definitely doesn't apply to him, nope.]
Or maybe it is simply too broad. After all, Lan Wangji is most of the traits you just ascribed to taurus, isn't he? Practical, loyal, trustworthy. He's a musician, so that's his art. Committed, obstinate...
no subject
[Pointed look. Raised eyebrow. Smile.]
And I assure you, Aquarians are very different beasts. They are quiet and aloof, deep thinkers and highly intellectual people who love helping others. They are able to see without prejudice, on both sides, which makes them people who can easily solve problems. However, they also tend to run away from outwardly expressing emotions, and are temperamental and uncompromising in their values.
They also require mental stimulation, or else they get bored. And they strive for freedom and equality and dislike being constrained or limited, and their apparent coldness is often a defense mechanism against premature intimacy.
[This does, indeed, describe Moran pretty well... and, he thinks, Lan Wangji as well.]
no subject
STOP BEING RIGHT, MORAN, IT'S VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.
It's so nice that they're discussing other star signs now. How lovely. How interesting. How much better this analysis is when it's not about him.]
That does sound like him. [Huaisang smiles cheerfully, amused by this HARMLESS LITTLE GAME that they're definitely not playing on more than one level.] What about Wei Wuxian? October 31st.
no subject
October 31st would make young Master Wei a Scorpio.
They are resourceful, brave, passionate, stubborn, and extremely steadfast friends who enjoy teasing the people they like. They are determined and decisive, and will research until they find out the truth.They make excellent leaders and are dedicate to what they do. They are gregarious and usually have a lot of friends.
On the darker side, they have a tendency towards violence, jealousy and secretiveness. They abhor dishonesty and can be rather rigid in how they react to what most people would consider normal human behaviors. They are very confident, but that can turn into being also very competitive.
And they are very sensual and expressive with their emotions.
no subject
How fun.
[His polite smile is strained now. He despises the thought of someone finding out his description and using it against him.
... Hold on just a moment.
Huaisang's smile lightens again.]
February 20th?
no subject
What is commented on however is that this time, Nie Huaisang gave him a date but no name. Did you think he would not notice, Huaisang?]
A person born on that date would be a Pisces.
Who are we referring to this time?
no subject
It's always fun to have gentle ways to tease him. He gets flustered at the slightest thing.
no subject
[And he agrees they are fun to tease.]
Pisces are compassionate, artistic, intuitive, gentle and wise. They are very friendly, so they often find themselves in a company of very different people. They are always willing to help others, without hoping to get anything back. They try to figure out what other people want and give it to them.
However, they are also fearful, overly trusting. they can be prone to sadness, and desire to escape reality. They also have a tendency to set themselves as a victim or a martyr at times in order to catch the attention. They also dislike being criticized or the past coming back to haunt them.
People born under the sign of the Pisces seem calm on the outside, but on the inside, you will find a different person, as they battle between strong emotions. They need to be encouraged to open up and release those feelings.
Oh, and another thing...
[Let him give you just a bit more information here.]
The sign of the Pisces is the one that happens to have the best compatibility with the Taurus.
no subject
[He remembers that compatibility. How well they got along. How much he enjoyed Meng Yao's company, before Meng Yao returned Mingjue's kindness and trust with betrayal.]
Still, it seems a little... cruel, Lord Beitang, to so casually describe a person's flaws and weaknesses. Or to falsely ascribe them. While I do think that Jin Zixuan is overly trusting, it... feels somewhat uncouth to describe that to others.
I'm sorry, Lord Beitang. I don't think I like this game.
no subject
But if you do not wish to hear anymore, I shall say nothing more on the topic.
[After all, you asked, didn't you? Sure, he started it, but you kept on with it. And also...]
Is there anything about what I said that is incorrect in some way?
no subject
Please forgive me, Lord Beitang. [He bows in apology.] I found this amusing at first, but I find I do not like hearing my friends described this way. Nor do I like the thought of having my own ascribed traits told to others. It seems to me that either it's inaccurate or an invasion of privacy.
[His brow furrows, deeply concerned.]
no subject
Well, as you said, this is the reality from my world. Maybe, just maybe, it does not ascribe to yours.
[He doesn't think so at all, but he is not in the business of disquieting people for no reason. He quite likes Huaisang, even if he is absolutely certain the man is more than meets the eyes.]
However, I have found that those star signs seem to be shared with other universes as well, even if not yours. What I have told you today is the lore of Huangdao, but others here may be familiar with aspects of it as well. I would not want you to be distressed or think I have been talking willy-nilly if you meet it later
no subject
I look forward to seeing you at my birthday, Lord Beitang.
