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!]

I should take offense at that.

[grey_grief]

It's only simple scientific fact. Can you prove me wrong?

[harpbeat]

I have had good results consistently.

[grey_grief]

[…Well it can't hurt. Haibs grabs the cards and awkwardly shuffles them.]

I am in a situation caused by my own mistakes and I am attempting to correct it. Are my efforts wasted and will I return to my previous situation?

[After taking the cards back, Eater deals seven.]

Your past is shown by the Ace of Pentacles. The Pentacles suit is for material prosperity.

Now, your present is the Three of Pentacles. You are in a position where you must work together with others in order to achieve success.

You will be helped by the Fool, a card of new beginnings, risky choices that turn out well and believing in the future.

You are harmed by the Queen of Cups. Is there a woman out there whose presence continues to plague you?

Others around you are shown by the Page of Pentacles - a child who is focused on the practical, material side of life.

Your actions are shown by the Knight of Cups. Keep in balance the emotional side of your life, not going overboard but not being too insensitive either.

Your results are shown by the Lovers. While this card shows intimacy, it also shows personal values and beliefs. While I cannot say if your situation will return to what it was previously, you will be able to retain your own independence and make the best of the situation.

[...Well then. Hello there Vermouth, Conan, and moving to Ezio's place. And apparently that Aoyama will never finish her series.]

If by "woman out there whose presence continues to plague you" you mean "is still trying to kill me so I moved to a completely different world to get away," then yes.

That should not have worked.

I have some degree of accuracy. Not perfect, of course. But better than you would expect from a random shuffle.

[grey_grief]

[She collects the cards and shuffles again, muttering to herself] For anything to be true, it must be repeatable.

Will my sister be happy? [She puts it back, there's no way for Eater to know her sister is dead, right?]

[harpbeat]

Three cards this time, I would think.

The Ace of Pentacles - not surprising, as that card was in your own past, and you two are involved together. She sounds important to you.

The Magician. The Magician is about taking action, knowing what you are doing and why.

Finally, ah... the Nine of Swords. Worry, guilt, anguish...

I am very sorry to have to report that.

[grey_grief]

...It's nothing I didn't already know. She's been dead for three years.

Fine, it works.

[harpbeat]

I'm sorry to hear that...

[grey_grief]

[She shrugs] Don't worry about it. What do I owe you?

[harpbeat]

Nothing. These are for free.
