[♀ - 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.)]

Oh...I'm sorry.

[He bows and seems to look at the cards a moment. Who was he to believe things like that couldn't be real? He was supposed to be dead after all. So pulling up a chair he smiled lightly and nodded.]

That would be nice, thank you. I have to admit I've never actually seen a reading in person...but an old friend used to tell me about them from time to time.

[Eater hands him the deck.]

Since you've never seen one, I'll explain briefly. Please shuffle the cards, and while you do so, focus on the question you wish to ask. When you're done shuffling, give the cards back to me and tell me your question.

[Taking the cards Itsuki seemed to frown. Shuffling them his mind raced with tons of questions. Even as he seemed deep in thought his hands moved deftly over the cards, careful not to bend them too badly before setting the deck back in front of Eater.]

The question I would like to have answered is, how I can begin to start a new life in this town.

[Eater dealt out seven cards, and flipped them face-up one by one.]

Your past is represented by the Queen of Pentacles. A trustworthy and nurturing figure, she may be a man or woman you knew, or simply an atmosphere of security.

Your present - the Two of Cups, reversed. The Two of Cups is a card for making connections. This signifies that you have not yet been able to make your emotional connections and be drawn into this town.

You are helped by the forces of the King of Cups, reversed. Allow yourself to believe in your own wisdom. The King asks you to do as he does, to be calm and caring. You are more capable in these areas than you know.

Your obstacle is the Four of Swords. A card of stillness and contemplation, the overabundance of rest can be an obstacle when there is no action that follows it.

The attitudes of others are represented by the Tower. This is a time of change for them, of sudden upheaval. The King of Cups suggests that you will need to be understanding for those people.

This is supported by the Nine of Wands, a card of protection of both yourself and others. It means seeing someone through to the end no matter how difficult times become. This card suggests the actions you should take.

Finally, the card that indicates the outcome is the Page of Pentacles. The pentacles are a material suit, concerned with practicality and also happiness. The Page of Pentacles brings you a chance for security and a way to settle in.

[He seems a bit lost but tilts his head.]

So...I must open up more and make connections with others for my path to be revealed further?

...

I'm sorry I don't know if I understood it quite properly.

[harpbeat]

I would draw that conclusion from it as well.

[lovedtoomuch]

Thank you, this is actually very helpful.

[harpbeat]

I hope it serves you well in the coming year!

[Nodding he stood and turned to go back into the hotel room...only to stop. What good was advice if you didn't follow it? Instead he turned around and headed out the doors, waving goodbye as he did.]
