When: Day 58, early afternoon

[A's hanging out downstairs, looking sparkly and handsome and wizardy]

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I have an important thing to tell everyone: It turns out that all of your fortunes are the same today. Anyone who comes out and counters this live that I'm doing right now with one of their own will have an enjoyable time of it.

A rather rudimentary prediction for a prognosticator of my ability, I know, but it can't be helped; I am only a messenger for the powers that be. But please, if you disagree with my fortune or feel this live is not up to AlcheME! standard, feel free to come and prove me wrong. I'll be here all afternoon.

Oh, a rare day for fortunes...

[afailedmurder]

If my fortunetelling doesn't pull in the crowds, perhaps the arrival of my handsome brother will.

[columbidaring]

I do attract attention! But the powers that be have declared it a team effort day, huh?

[liarliarliar]

Ah~ I see some magic is going on. My strong future sight brought me here.

[afailedmurder]

I'd have expected no less from my ever-talented little brother.

[liarliarliar]

I'm just too darn powerful.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Guess I gotta run a counter-live to get some good luck, huh?

[afailedmurder]

That would be my advice, yes.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Can you really call it fortune if it's almost a guaranteed result? At what probability percentage is a fortune no longer considered a fortune?

[afailedmurder]

Well, it would have to be more likely than can be reasonably predicted via statistical means. I'm flattered you think that an enjoyable time is an almost guaranteed result, but that's hardly an objective assessment, is it? Do you have the numbers on hand?

Re: [COUNTER LIVE - Academic debate]

[columbidaring]

A fortune still counts as a fortune even if it's so vague as to be almost completely guaranteed, I think!

Re: [COUNTER LIVE - Academic debate]

[boomgoesthebirdy]

Aren't most fortunes just intentionally vague wording meant to cover as many bases as possible in the first place? So you can say, "Ah hah! That fortune said so, it must be true."

Re: [COUNTER LIVE - Academic debate]

[crossmyheartandhope]

It's totally a fortune, cause if you don't run a counter-live, you don't get the luck.

[boomgoesthebirdy]

A fortune of good fortune! Aren't we all lucky?

[afailedmurder]

The heavens are smiling upon us.

I'm A, by the way.

[offers a hand]

[perpetualmotionorphan]

So what's the fortune?

[afailedmurder]

A meeting of handsome strangers.

[nohalation]

That's okay, you did your best.

[afailedmurder]

...Thank you, Angel.

What is that you're carrying?

COUNTER-LIVE

[rollplayinghouse]

Let me make sure this valuable prediction is available for everyone.

[With a brush and ink, she writes HAVE A NICE DAY on a large piece of paper.]

[afailedmurder]

Can you feel it? Your resolve has strengthened the positive energy!

Re: COUNTER-LIVE

[crossmyheartandhope]

Thanks, dude. I'll take one, if you're giving em out.

[ slides on in ]

Hey hey--Seems like a bunch of people were ready for some good news!

[afailedmurder]

Aren't we all.

How are you doing today, X?

[columbidaring]

Everyone always is.
