Tarot post mark 5.

[harpbeat]

Would anyone like to have a Tarot reading?

[A deck is on the table in front of her.]

Simply focus on your question while shuffling the deck, and inform me of your question when you return the deck to me. Then I can read your fortune.

[Any game, any character will be read with a real shuffling of a real Tarot deck!]

She nods, her deadpan not breaking, "It is. They have me maintaining a poorly hacked together communications network with equipment that doesn't interface mine well due to magic vs. technology. Its quite stressful making sure it doesn't crash."

After Ruri shuffles, Eater deals out seven cards.

"The Five of Cups represents your past situation. It is a card of loss and regret.

Your current situation is represented by the Emperor. The card represents being in control, maintaining structure, law and order. Without you, the system would crumble.

You are helped by the Four of Cups. The card normally represents self-absorption and apathy, so seeing it in this position is harder to explain without its counterpoint.

You are hurt by the King of Pentacles. The King supports others' enterprises, assumes responsibility and takes care of others. In this combination, are you perhaps dealing too much with this project you care nothing for and not enough on your own hobbies and things you enjoy?

Others around you are shown by Judgment. It is a card of absolution, atoning for past mistakes and having a fresh start.

Your actions should reflect the Eight of Pentacles. This card is about applying yourself, working hard and being involved in what you do.

The result is shown by the Page of Wands. The Page is enthusiastic and creative, ready to try new things."

Four of Cups represents your past situation. It is a card of self-absorption and apathy to the world around you.

Is there any way that you could spend less time on the duties you were assigned and more on the projects that you would find enjoyable and fulfilling? Delegation, or some other way?"

"Sadly no. Anyone with the technical expertise to do it is.... Untrustworthy at best, and could do significant damage to Omoikane's systems at worst if given administrative access to the relays. That and leaving Omoikane himself in charge would be problematic as he doesn't have a good concept of privacy."

She shakes her head a bit, "Perhaps the demon clone wasn't as far from the point as I'd like to admit."

"I am sorry to hear that. It's always possible that will change as people come into the city."

[electricyousei]

"I don't know. In general I find the more technical a person is the less ethical they are."

[harpbeat]

"In general."

[electricyousei]

"In general."

She nods, "Hopefully if I find a project of my own it will be more interesting."

[harpbeat]

"I wish you the best of luck."
