Tarot post mark 2.

[harpbeat]

I do believe I'm in the mood for Tarot readings. Would anyone like one?

[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 you your fortune.

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

[pledged_to_me]

[She smiles, now that is what she likes to hear!] Well then, I'll be takin' you up on that offer. Are you doin' general readin's are are you needin' a specific question?

[harpbeat]

I will do whichever you prefer.

[pledged_to_me]

[She thinks for a moment, then takes up the cards and shuffles them. She's actually half decent at it.]

Me family, 'tis rather splintered, with arguments and fights. One of me brothers is convinced folk are hatin' him. Is there any chance of repairin' the damage and bein' a whole family 'gain?

[harpbeat]

[Seven cards.]

Your past is shown by the Tenn of Cups. A card that stands for peace and family, especially.

Now your present is shown by the Two of Pentacles. There are too many things for you to try to balance and juggle at once.

You will be helped by the Six of Swords. While this indicates a low-level sadness, it is also the card that stands for recovery.

You will be harmed by the Six of Pentacles. This card stands for both having and not having. In this case, while some of your family prospers, some will not, and resentment builds from this.

Others are represented by the Eight of Wands. This card is for quick, direct action.

Your actions are shown by the Ten of Wands. It is an uphill struggle for you, and your task will not be easy in the least.

But, your results are shown by the Queen of Cups. It shows an understanding, intuitive, loving woman like you.

[pledged_to_me]

[She sighs] Aye, I had feared that. The lads, they are so stubbron. There is hope, however? I fear I am not the same sort of Seer as you are.

[harpbeat]

There is hope. I can say that much.

[pledged_to_me]

'Tis pleasin' me then. I have been missin' me brothers these long years. Might I be askin' another question?

[harpbeat]

As many as you wish.

[pledged_to_me]

Thank you. [She shuffles, blushing lightly] 'Tis certain I am that you're gettin' this question fairly often, but... 'tis there bein' a chance of me brothers ever acceptin' the lads I'm bein' fond of?

[harpbeat]

Three cards for a second reading. [Deals.]

The Knight of Swords, the Knight of Cups, the King of Cups. Two Knights together do suggest matters of intimacy. Let's see each.

A man who is authoritative and knowledgeable, but a bit overbearing and opinionated. A man who is sensitive, but temperamental and introverted. And a man who is diplomatic and calm.

Dear deck, I'm attempting to answer the question, not simply pull a description, give me a bit more to work with... One more card won't hurt.

[She pulls the next card.]

Seven of Cups. Too many options, wishful thinking.

...It looks doubtful.

[pledged_to_me]

[She chuckles ruefully though] Bein' 'fraid of that as well. 'Tis a perfect description of three of me brothers though. 'Tis quite skilled you are, lass.

What form of payment are you takin'?

[harpbeat]

Thank you. For these, no charge is necessary.

[pledged_to_me]

Are you bein' sure? I'd hate to be leavin' you without givin' you somethin' in turn.

[harpbeat]

Absolutely certain, miss.

[pledged_to_me]

[She sighs, looking rather unsure] 'Tis sittin' badly with me, aye 'tis. Would you be acceptin' a favor in return, at least?

[harpbeat]

I suppose if you must.

[pledged_to_me]

[She's visibly relieved at that]

Aye, thank you.

[harpbeat]

You are a kind person.
