[ RISE AND SHINE AND BROADCAST YOUR SECRETS TO THE WORLD ]

Comments

[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.

[columbidaring]

So it's the first one, then!

[criminaljustice]

[... ok but moment to wonder if he does come across as shy. he doesn't think so? but also...

shakes his head.]

Must be.

[columbidaring]

[ only like a normal human amount, something alcheME is not familiar with ]

And honestly that's a good way to do it. Okay! Last card! Basically it's like, the most likely outcome to whatever you do, with all this [ GESTURES AT THE OTHER 9 ] taken into account!

[ I. The Magician ]

[criminaljustice]

[... time to squint at the wizard-aesthetic unit member]

[columbidaring]

[ HOLDS HIS HANDS UP LIKE, DON'T GIVE ME THAT LOOK ] There's no need for that face! It's a card, it has a meaning! In this case, it's a lucky meaning! The Magician is all about power. That makes it a great omen for success!
