[♀ - Action]

[harpbeat]

[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 haven't seen cards like that outside of stories. Where did you get them?

[harpbeat]

I bought them at the "magic store", which is rather short on actual magic.

[namedforcat]

A magic store? Ah, so you're from a world were magic is common then?

[harpbeat]

Yes, I am. I used to be able to cast it with my harp as a focus, but I'm afraid I no longer can here.

[namedforcat]

[A harp? Seriously? Well, he's heard of stranger weapons.] Ah, I suppose these are a poor substitution for what you're used to then.

[harpbeat]

[Talk to her male side, then we'll see strange.] I make do. Since I cannot technically contribute to the fighting, I wish to be of some use.

[namedforcat]

Support functions are always useful. I think too many people want to be in the thick of the fighting and thus forget about the other things.

[harpbeat]

I agree with you completely. I've known too many people who eschew other skills for brute force.

[namedforcat]

Sometimes the best course of action is one that goes around instead of straight through.

[harpbeat]

And some would beat their heads against the obstacle trying to knock it down instead.

[namedforcat]

And all you can do is just watch them, wishing they'd see that there is a door off to the side.

[harpbeat]

I know. It's awful.

[namedforcat]

One of my brothers is exactly like this and it drives me insane.

[harpbeat]

The other Eater is like that as well.

[namedforcat]

The 'other Eater'?

[harpbeat]

My name is Eater. The name of the other person who shares this body is also Eater.

I'm sorry, it's a bit confusing. We usually can get people to tell us apart by gender and drastic personality differences.

[namedforcat]

Oh. I see. [Thankfully rolling with the weird is a strong suit.] Don't worry about it, it is what it is. It must be especially frustrating for you because you share the body when he is being like that.

[harpbeat]

I'm grateful that you understand.

[namedforcat]

You're welcome. I hope you have some good luck with him, and those. [He indicates the cards]

[harpbeat]

Thank you, kind sir~

[namedforcat]

You can call me Gaignun. It was very nice to meet you Eater.

[harpbeat]

And wonderful to meet you as well.

[namedforcat]

Well, I will leave you to your activities here. Good luck.

[harpbeat]

Thank you, Gaignun.
