[criminaljustice]

That's literally everybody.

[TAROT CARDS, YOU IMPRESS NO ONE BY BEING GENERAL LIKE THIS.]

[columbidaring]

Right! Surely all of us would like someone to swoop in and rescue us. [ FLIPS NEXT CARD. ] This is more past-related! It's like... difficulties you've had or like, problems that led you to this point in your life today? [ XI. Justice ] ... [ snorts ]

[criminaljustice]

[... the blank look of someone who doesn't read profiles.

but also.

run-ins with the law and authority apparently have not been in his favor.

so he's just kind of squinting at that card.]

... seriously?

[columbidaring]

Hey, fate chose them, not me. Anyway this one is pretty self-explanatory... mostly, that there are maybe legal problems or run-ins with the law that haven't gone your way, even though you're pretty sure you're morally correct! I could just have like, told you this from talking to you. Next card! Reflects on the current situation surrounding you! [X. Wheel of Fortune] ... Hey, fate, turn on your location, I just want to talk.

[criminaljustice]

... so what's that one mean?

[EXPLAIN? maybe getting into this more than he should but definitely wants to know how annoyed he should be at the cards.]

[columbidaring]

The wheel! Of! Fortune! Means that right now your circumstances are out of your control. Good luck, bad luck, it's all something that you have no direct influence on. Which... [ gestures at, ALL AROUND THEM ] Yeah.

[criminaljustice]

[............ whyyyyyyyyy]

[columbidaring]

Yep. Next card! This one is difficulties you're going to face, like, moving forward.

[ XVIII. The Moon ]

All right! This one is less Thanks, Captain Obvious. So the Moon is about... duality? Like, public face versus private face. Secret face vs. not secret face! So this one probably means that you'll meet with a person or situation that's completely different from what they look like at first. Which isn't necessarily bad, but might also mean, you know, stay on your toes about it, y'know?

[criminaljustice]

[waggles hands and fingers in that "oooh~ spooky~" manner]

Ambiguous~

[columbidaring]

That's the beauty of the moon in specific! Okay, the next one is like... a bit sketchy, it's like ... internal things that might be problems in the future? But sometimes it also applies to external stuff so like... destiny. You know how it is. [ IV. The Emperor ] Okay so. So. So. Okay. So! This one! This one is all about authority. Which is weird because you don't have or respect any, I think? That's Bad End's thing.

[criminaljustice]

[. . . deadeyed stare at card before looking at ceiling.

I AIN'T EXPLAINING SHIT ABOUT WHAT I AM THINKING RIGHT NOW BUT "PROBLEMS WITH AUTHORITY" SURE IS. A THING.]

[columbidaring]

Normally it's about like, 'don't abuse your authority' and 'don't bully people', so... I dunno! Don't bully people. Next card is like, things you should try to achieve? Or like, stuff you should do, or are doing that's correct. Auspicious things! [VIII. Strength] Soooo in this case it's like... standing up for yourself and probably other people, but not necessarily in a! Fighting way! But like maybe in a fighting way. But she's not suplexing that lion or anything.

[criminaljustice]

[GOSH THIS CEILING IS SO NICE TO STARE AT.]

... fate's out to get me.

[columbidaring]

It'll do that. Let's find out what you have going for you in the future! Surely fate has something good on your side! [ XXI. The World ] Oh dang.

[criminaljustice]

... "oh dang"?

[columbidaring]

It's a good oh dang! The World is like... a card about everything. About coming full circle. About succeeding! Like as far as 'things you could have going for you' cards go, that one is up there with the best of 'em.

[criminaljustice]

[. . . that's.

looks over the current spread and just... unsure? not sure at all. seems fake???]

That might be a kind of optimistic reading of it, right?

[columbidaring]

I am nothing if not an optimist. But in this case I think it just means, moving forward you'll have lots of help! If not necessarily... you know, finding the hidden escape tunnel or whatever. The next one is about relationships because I added one about relationships because I'm the fortune teller and no one can stop me. Are you ready?

[criminaljustice]

[of course you went the romance route.

takes a breath.]

Yeah, all right. Let's see how this one goes.

[columbidaring]

[ Flips it! ] [ IX. The Hermit ] [ slowly covers his mouth ]

[criminaljustice]

...

[looks from the card and then to E's face]

What?

[columbidaring]

It's impolite for the fortune teller to giggle at the result they got okay give me a second [ TAKES A BREATH. RECOVERS. ]

Okay so! This one basically means one of two things. Either you will approach relationships in the future in a very deliberate, well-thought out way, closely examining your own feelings as you go...

Oooooooor you won't date anyone at all because you're too shy.

[criminaljustice]

[....... nO ONE ASKED YOU, CARDS.]

We're only four days into this place.

[JUST TO REMIND EVERYONE]

[columbidaring]

Nothing wrong with taking your time!

[criminaljustice]

I'm not shy.
