[♀ - 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 am of the opinion that it should still be able to work fine in these circumstances.

[needsteaplz]

What do you mean by circumstances? Well, if it's not too much trouble, could I get my fortune told?

[harpbeat]

No magic works here, but please, have a seat. Fortunetelling is something altogether different.

[Eater hands her the deck.]

Please shuffle the cards, and while you shuffle them, focus on the question you wish to ask. When you're done shuffling, hand the cards back to me and tell me your question.

[She takes the deck and begins to shuffle. What could she ask? There wasn't anything waiting for her back home where she was considered dead. It takes her a while but she focuses on her relationship with Kaiji. Everything was good but the inner relationship cynic made her have doubts. When she is done, she gives the deck back.]

Sorry for the wait. I'm ready now.

[Eater deals out the cards.] What would you like to ask?

[needsteaplz]

I'd like to know about my future concerning my relationship with Kaiji, my boyfriend, please.

[Eater lays out seven cards and flips them over one by one.]

This first card represents your past. The High Priestess represents potential, being passive... It is a feminine card that signifies the unconscious.

The second card represents the present - the Ten of Pentacles, in reverse. You're blessed with affluence in the form of your relationship, but you're worried about its permanence and whether it will last. The Ten of Pentacles is also a card for following convention... in reverse, it may be that convention needs to be broken away from.

The third card shows what's helping you in this situation. In this case, the Three of Swords. ...This is a strange card to get in this position, for the Three of Swords can represent heartbreak, but in this part of the reading it more likely refers to a need to seek out a problem and fix it in your life.

The fourth card is your obstacle. The Seven of Pentacles means standing at a crossroads. It is difficult to change the way your life is going when the familiar is easier, but this card will reward you when you make your careful decision.

The attitudes of others are represented by the fifth card. The Magician, in reverse. Action, power, concentration. Someone else is making a strong impact on you, perhaps not wisely.

Your course of action is represented by the sixth card, the King of Wands. The King of Wands is inspiring and bold. Kings ask you to take the kind of actions they might take - in this case, it may mean taking a risk or leading the way.

The outcome of your decision is the last card. The Fool represents beginnings, spontaneity, and faith. The Fool believes that things will turn out all right, even when taking a seemingly crazy chance. The Fool is true to himself.

[She's quiet for a while as she lets the words sink in. There's just so many questions she wants to ask, but she couldn't possibly ask her into more details.]

That's really amazing. I've never heard of a fortune this accurate and clear-cut before. This really was something I needed to listen to. Thank you very much for the reading.

Let me at least pay you back for your services. Would like some tea or anything to drink? You must be thirsty after doing all these fortunes.

[harpbeat]

If you must, I suppose you could fetch me some water. I am a bit parched.

[needsteaplz]

No problem at all. I'll bring a pitcher so you can have as much as you like. Be right back.

[She heads into the kitchen and comes back with a pitcher of ice water and a cup.]

Here you go. If there's anything else you'd like, don't hesitate to call me. My name is Saori and I live on the first floor.

[harpbeat]

Thank you very much. My name is Eater and I'll be here all day.
