Tarot post mark 10.

[harpbeat]

Has it truly been so long since I did tarot readings for all of you? How tragic.

[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!]

Comments

throws in cosmo honoka i guess

[korekara]

Ohhh, me, me! I have a question!

[ she even raises her hand. ]

How are me, Haruharu-chan and Apple-chan gonna do as school idols?

[firstloser]

Heh.

[He slams a huge wad of cash onto the table and drapes his arm over the back of his chair.]

What does Fate have in store for my romantic life?

hella

[harpbeat]

[After Honoka shuffles, Eater deals out three cards.]

The Knight of Pentacles. A person out of balance - realistic, but pessimistic, hardworking and steadfast but obsessive and stubborn.

The Five of Swords. People acting in their own self-interest, discord among a group.

Strength. Patience, compassion, inner strength and perseverance.

It seems that not all be well among your idol group. It is easy to fall into squabbles and disagreements, particularly when it comes to work - and being an idol is work, when things get down to it. The important part here is to have compassion for others and be patient if you would like your group to pull through and succeed.

[helborn]

... Fate doesn't like me, so maybe it'll like you.

[He shuffles the deck and hands it back to Eater.]

What do I need to do next?

[calltoarm]

[Just kinda... staring down at the deck like it stabbed his non existent mother]

... cards can't answer questions.

[EXPLAIN]

[bloodteller]

[ Fortune telling is something... she thinks she might have interest in. After all, surely it'll only tell her what she knows already? The things she'll make happen, right? Yuno hesitates for a moment, a blush coating her cheeks before she picks up and shuffles the deck. Her movements are deft and she places it down before her gaze drifts away. ]

It's not like a charm, right? But I want to know anyway.

[harpbeat]

I was doing these for free, but if you insist!

[After snagging Karamatsu's money, and after Karamatsu shuffles, Eater deals out three cards.]

Justice. Taking responsibility for your actions, cause and effect, making important decisions.

The Ten of Wands. Overextending, taking on burdens, struggling.

The Four of Cups. Self-absorption, apathy, being introspective.

It seems clear to me that you are doing things the hard way - that is to say, when it comes to romance, it is a thousand times harder to get someone to love you when you are focused on yourself. If you are interested in romantic success, focus more on your partner and less on your own self-image: if you are more interested in maintaining your self-image, be prepared for romantic failure.

[harpbeat]

They can provide guidance for you on your journey.

[Smiling ever so pleasantly.]

boom here's a ryslig-flavor squid

[peccatore]

Oh, this is exciting! I've never done this before, wow.

[He's halfway through shuffling when his smile kind of... flattens.] ... Do I have to speak my question out loud? I have to, don't I. Of course, of course, how would you know otherwise...?

[Deep breath. Here goes nothing - he hands the deck back to Eater.] Wwwwill there be... salvation?

[That should be vague enough.]

[calltoarm]

How so?

[Like literally he has no idea]

[harpbeat]

[Eater deals out three cards.]

The Two of Wands. Being bold, being original, and having personal power.

The Nine of Swords. Worry, guilt, and anguish.

The Knight of Pentacles. A person out of balance - his caution makes him afraid of risks, his realism is pessimism.

It is easy to be paralyzed by fear. Worry over what could go wrong makes it difficult to take a risk, and guilt can make it nearly impossible to move forward. In this case, though it's difficult, it may be time for you to put worries and fears aside and simply 'go for it', as they say. Take the boldest path.

[harpbeat]

Each card has a certain meaning. I will draw three cards for you and interpret their meanings in relation to your question, and from there you will have something to reflect on.

[onlytsunseveryone]

I suppose one of these readings wouldn't hurt. I'm... not entirely sold on how accurate it is, though...

[Noire shuffles the deck, hands it back, then settles into the seat. She shifts slightly to make herself comfortable.]

...please don't laugh when I ask you this. How hard will it be for me to make actual friends?

[harpbeat]

[Eater deals three cards.]

The Seven of Pentacles. Assessment, reward, a change of direction.

Five of Pentacles. Hard times, ill health, and rejection.

Judgment. Rebirth, absolution, a day of reckoning.

Let me see... To get to this point, you've had to deal with some very difficult times. This is the point in your life where you must take a look at where you are and decide whether you want to continue on this path or choose a different one. Even if you've decided 'it's too late to change' or 'I can't be forgiven', there are always options.

Although that is all a bit dramatic, is it not?

[embellishes]

It's me, again! [ She probably doesn't need to announce her presence, but Hajime is beaming even so. When she shuffles the deck, she makes brief eye contact with the reader. ]

It's good to get these done again from time to time, right? The last one... it was a lot of fun. [ With the deck shuffled, she places it down and slides it back over. ] So I'll do it again, even if someone says it might not be necessary, you know? For me.

[sawcleaver]

[She's quiet as she looks at the deck, hands gently shuffling the deck before handing it back to Eater. There's a lot to ask, a lot she could ask, a lot she should. But she's done so much and now there's only one way to move: forward.

A finger gently taps on the table once or twice before she finally speaks.]

Did I make the right choice?

[calltoarm]

...

[what]

So... useless for strategy or finding my team.

[someone's intrest has dropped considerably]

and ill just throw a bunch of girls at you i guess

[maku]

Tarot, huh? Itsuki does these sometimes...

[ she shuffles the deck carefully, before handing it back over to Eater. ]

How are the Hero Club gonna do?

my favorite squid

[harpbeat]

[Eater deals three cards.]

The Tower. A sudden downfall, an explosion, a massive change or revelation.

The King of Cups. A man who is wise, caring, diplomatic.

The Page of Swords. A young person, or else an energy suggesting to follow in that child's footsteps - be mindful, be truthful, be just, have fortitude.

Salvation is a difficult concept, is it not? And the Tower is a difficult card - it suggests that from where you are, things will get much, much worse. But both the King of Cups and the page of Swords are wise, intelligent cards who put their minds to use, who prize ethics and clarity of thought.

Salvation is not here, not yet. And salvation is not achieved merely by following blindly, but by goodness and kindness to others, even in the face of hardship. That is how people are saved.

[harpbeat]

If you are looking for specific answers, you may want to try a magic 8-ball.

just one more i promise

[torya]

S--so, you can ask about... anything, right?

[ shuffle, shuffle. she doesn't really know what to ask about and asking about first astronomical velocity sounds a bit like a jinx waiting to happen. but she feels like she knows what Suzu would ask so that's what she'll go with. ]

How about um... something about romance, then...?

[ there, that's the sort of thing you ask fortune tellers, isn't it? ]

[harpbeat]

[Eater doesn't laugh! She just deals three cards.]

The Seven of Swords. Running away, going 'lone wolf'.

The Empress. Mothering, abundance.

The Ten of Wands. Struggling, carrying burdens.

It is easily possible to make friends, if you welcome them in. If you push people away, you will have much harder of a time. Are you sure that the fault is not in you?

[...she didn't say anything about being blunt.]

[calltoarm]

How would THAT help?

[... honey. He does sound rather frustrated and lost though]

[peccatore]

[... Huh. HUH.

Part of that is... encouraging, in its own way. Part of it is terrifying.]

I'm... I'm doing that. [Goodness and kindness. He's doing that.

Right? He's trying. He's doing his best. He's trying so hard.

He's failing.]

... Well. [Free readings be damned, he's searching his pockets for cash now. Here, small seer person, have some coins from a place you have never been to.] Thank you. [Annnd a smile. THIS IS FINE.]
