[♀ - Action]

[Eater is spending most of the day in the hotel lobby. She has a table set up, and the curious can come and see that she is giving readings with her Tarot deck for anyone who asks.

She's also wearing pants today, which is probably more remarkable than that.

(If anyone has a specific result they'd like to get from their Tarot reading, they can tell me - otherwise, I'll whip out my new real-life Tarot deck and do the reading myself.)]

I'm reading people's fortunes through Tarot.

What does that do?

Would you like to know your future?

You can do that, even here?

I certainly can do my best.

...Might as well.

[Eater hands her the deck.]

Please shuffle the cards, and while you're shuffling them, focus on the question you want to ask. When you're done, give the cards back to me and tell me the question you focused on.

Hm. *Kaoru nods and takes the deck. She thinks for a moment before shuffling and handing back the cards.*

[Eater deals them out.] What is your question?

I want to know what this place has to do with my predetermined fate. That's a question about the future, is it not?

I can try and answer that.

[Each card is turned up as Eater describes it.]

Your past is represented by the Page of Swords. As the page, you thought logically and refused to be discourage. The Swords suit is an intellectual one.

Your present state is the Ace of Wands in reverse. The Ace of Wands wants you to go forth with confidence and courage, but something is blocking you. You are unable to use creative force to its fullest extent and have not yet expanded your potential.

The King of Cups, in reverse, helps you. The King of Cups is wise and calm, and also cares for others. You may be missing some of his essential qualities at the moment that would assist you.

You are being opposed by the Four of Swords. A card of rest, this would seem to signify stagnation here in Prospero.

The attitudes of others - the King of Pentacles, in reverse. The King of Pentacles is reliable and supporting, but you have not yet made yourself able to rely on his bounty and help.

Your actions to take are represented by the Nine of Pentacles. Showing discipline, you rein in your normal impulses in order to achieve a goal. It is also a card of refinement, suggesting that you should take the time to enjoy leisure.

Your outcome is represented by the Five of Swords. A card that suggests you have lost sight of what is right and are acting in your own self-interest - you have defined your self-interest too narrowly and are sabotaging yourself by doing so.
