Tarot post mark 11.
While it may only have been roughly three months since my last reading, I feel the itch to read Tarot cards for you once again!
[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!]

Very well.
[He takes a seat, picks up the deck, and shuffles it as he thinks about it. Then he returns the deck.]
What do the next few years hold for my kingdom, the Kingdom of Nohr?
no subject
The Knight of Pentacles. A person out of balance - unwavering in pursuit of his goals but too stubborn, hard-working, but humorless and grim. Realistic to the point of being pessimistic.
The Three of Pentacles. Teamwork and planning. Getting the job done.
The Wheel of Fortune. Destiny, a turning point. Experiencing change.
Do you perhaps have the tendency to take everything upon your own shoulders and work yourself half to death? That can make you an unpleasant person - not only just unpleasant to be around, but no one comes out better for trying to be a martyr. Remember that you can rely on others around you in the pursuit of helping your kingdom. Great changes are in store, but you can prepare for them if only you do not try to deal with them alone.

Hello! [...Wait, she has to actually ask something.] I, um, I was invited somewhere with my friends! I've met most of the people there before, but it's still kind of scary to go. But I can't just run away when we've been rehearsing our song for this! What do I do?
no subject
The Page of Wands. A young person who is creative, enthusiastic, and courageous, or simply the energy telling you to be that way.
The Nine of Cups. Wishful thinking and satisfaction - getting what you think you want.
The King of Swords. Someone intellectual, analytical, ethical.
The easy answer would be 'just do it', but that isn't so easy, is it? In this case, hm... If you were to run away, that would feel better in the short term, but you would regret disappointing your friends and not trying harder for a long time. If you really think about the consequences and what you want to do, it should be easier to summon up the courage to go.

...Am I actually helping anything or anyone?
no subject
The Emperor. Structure, authority, regulation.
The Page of Swords. Be truthful, be just, have fortitude.
The Lovers. Relationship with others, but also personal beliefs and values.
...I might take this moment to consider whether what you're doing goes against any of your own values, and how much of it is meant to help versus how much of it is just meant to have control over the situation.
no subject
[ Just a doll, a puppet, something to do as she's told. But... But... Going against her own values... She's not entirely comfortable using her powers anymore, not in Portes. ]

[ So she's not used to it. It's easier to let yourself be controlled. ]

BEING AN ARTIFICIAL BEING IS HARD, EATER
And all I want to do is help, but I feel useless most of the time. I can't really fight, and my powers aren't reliable. My only skills are writing and acting. So I guess I wanted to know if... I'd actually be of help. To the friends I've made.
[ She'll sigh. ]
SORRY SIS
no subject
He bumbles his way to the table.]
I'll give it a shot! So! I'm living in this brand new world working off a debt from my wish. And that's all well and good, but what about making friends? What do the cards say about me and making a lot of good friends there?
no subject
The Nine of Pentacles. Discipline and self-reliance.
The Hierophant. Group identification, following the rules.
The Two of Cups. A connection with others, developing a bond.
Your first task is to work, and that should be on the forefront of your mind, or at least you should never completely forget about it. You don't wish to stay there forever, do you? - However, plenty of others are in the same boat as you, and it should be simple enough to meet people and start to talk to them because of that. Friendship will develop naturally enough from there.

Question, question... erm...
[This is where he stalls, face pursed. The obvious question would be about the secrets Max's friends were hiding. That was what his crew was after. But they all promised that NO ONE outside their group would be told about it. So that's out.
His mind swirls- and one question settles in as he shuffles the deck, though he doesn't fully realize it. It's the real worry in his heart that he hasn't fully acknowledged yet.
'Is my life going to change? Will things ever be the same again?']
Heh, I guess you can tell me 'bout the lizardmen in our government! Make it a nice thing to tell Stephen when he's outta the clink!
[The two questions don't match at all, but his heart is more upfront then his words]
no subject
[She's not a mind-reader, Johnny, you're going to have to actually say what you want to hear.]
no subject
[He huffs and cross his arms]
'Kay then, tell me my future. This is what I get for tryin' do something nice.... though you didn't say there AIN'T lizardmen.
[Ha, he wins]
no subject
Will I find a purpose other than death?
no subject
The Page of Pentacles. Be practical, be trusting and trustworthy, have an effect on the world.
The Four of Pentacles. Possessiveness, control, blocked change.
The Seven of Pentacles. Assessment, reward, a change in direction.
How much of your not finding a purpose is because you've closed yourself to other options besides death?
no subject
But I don't want... my friends to show up and get caught up by Fate. They'll... get hurt...

My daughter Nanako, she's back at home. Will she be okay for as long as I'm trapped in this place?
no subject
Just a fair warning, I'm skeptical.
[About everything. She started shuffling the cards in her deck...right, she should ask a question now.
How serious should she go, that was the question.]
I've actually been thinking a lot lately, about where to go from where I am. I've been writing, even publishing here and there. I think I enjoy it.
But it's difficult, because I'm here and not there. Back home, with everyone I cared about.
That whole prospect is terrifying.
SB-flavored Enoch now! and holy shit textwalls how did that happen...
He reaches for the deck with clumsy makeshift mittens made of material too thin to be mittens, realizes he can't shuffle this way, and pulls them off. His fingers are intact in spite of their poor covering, but his coordination seems to be failing him; he's clumsier than he has been in previous shuffles. When he hands the deck back to Eater, his question is small and plaintive:]
...Will we make it?
no subject
[Katherine sits down on the other end of the table and begins shuffling.]
I have a few goals. Rather large ones. Is there...any advice that might be had on these?
[With that vague as hell question, she hands the deck back to Eater.]
