Tarot post.

Would anyone like 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!]

You look like one.

[He shuffles without his usual elaborate shenanigans; he's staring at the cards as if he half-expects them to jump out of his hands and start shrieking bad news at him.]

[harpbeat]

You look younger than I actually am.

[When he's done, she takes the cards back and deals seven facedown.] What is your question?

[sandinmyboots]

Will Karakael and I be able to maintain happiness?

[He sits across from her and stares at the cards. It's one of the few good things in his life right now and he wants to make sure it works, ok, it's not on wikipedia as a failure yet.]

[First card is flipped up.] Your past is represented by the Nine of Cups. You achieved what you thought you wanted, met your goal.

The Eight of Wands, your present, says that you are putting events in motion and starting into a new area. It is a card of significant change.

You are aided by the Eight of Cups. This card suggests that you should look for deeper meaning in your life, and concentrate on what is important.

The Four of Wands hinders you. A strange card to receive in this position, the Four of Wands represents freedom - in this case, perhaps too much freedom. You have too many options to choose.

The attitudes of others are shown by the Page of Cups. Emotional, intuitive, and loving. The Page suggests intimacy, which fits in very well with your affair.

Your action is represented by the Hanged Man. The Hanged Man wants you to accept things that are, be vulnerable and open. It wants you to reverse old priorities

Your outcome is shown by the King of Cups. The King of Cups is wise and calm. He cares about others and is emotionally stable and secure.

The answer seems to be 'yes'.

[Kefka relaxes, deflating like some rainbow balloon, and smiles at the cards.]

Good, good. And I suppose the Four of Wands makes sense - if I didn't know my future, I wouldn't be able to ponder if the fate I've chosen for myself is the right one for us. And the Hanged Man...

[Remain vulnerable and reverse old priorities. Reverse old priorities...]

[harpbeat]

Only you will be able to truly understand what these mean for you. I can only interpret a little.

[But that many Cups in one reading means emotionally connect more, stupid.]

[The cards are saying that he shouldn't go through with canon. Which seems. To be what Karakael has been asking him to do for months. And though he said he wouldn't, he still was thinking of - ]

[Urgh. Love is stupid, he realizes every time he wakes up. And yet, like some addict, he keeps on coming back to it.]

Is that all you can get from them?

[harpbeat]

I've said what I know. Unfortunately Tarot cards are not very specific.

[sandinmyboots]

They don't seem to be.

[Hmmm.]

Last time I tried this, a game ago, I got the Tower for my past. I think it's a good sign that it didn't show it's ugly head this time around.

[Nod nod.] No one is represented by just one card. That would be silly.
