[♀ - 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.)]

Fortune-telling using a special deck of cards designed for the purpose. Would you like to ask a question?

[technologic]

[April tilts her head as she thinks for a moment, before giving a nod.] Um, okay.

[harpbeat]

[Eater hands her the deck.]

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.

[technologic]

[She takes the deck and shuffles the cards, her expression turning thoughtful again. A question came to mind, but she was hesitant to ask... but it wouldn't hurt to ask, and getting some sort of advice would be helpful.

So after some more shuffling, she hands the cards back to Eater.]

... I'd like to know if the feelings I have for someone will, um, lead to anything.

[Eater deals out the cards and flips them over one by one.]

The Moon represents your past. It is a card full of mystery, illusion, and fear - but it is also fantasy and enchantment. You may have been unsure about your feelings for a long time.

The present is represented by the Ten of Cups. A card for peace, as well as joy and counting your blessings. It is also a card for family, like the one you may have already started forging.

You are helped by the Knight of Wands, reversed. This suggests that there's a lack of the Knight's energy in play. In that case, you may need to try something new, take a risk, and go for it with gusto.

Your obstacle is represented by the High Priestess. The High Priestess is a card of the unconscious. Her preference is to wait and be nonactive, and in this position in the reading you should avoid that.

The attitude of others... Eight of Cups reversed. Weariness and moving on. If you continue to deny your feelings, those around you will grow tired of encouraging you. It is a natural result, I'm afraid.

Your actions are represented by the Ace of Wands in reverse. There is a lack of enthusiasm, confidence, and courage when it comes to this. The creative energy of the Wands suit has been blocked by insecurity.

And the result is... Hm. The Ten of Wands, reversed. You have been doing everything the hard way and trying to take too much onto yourself. The Ten of Wands asks that you share some things with your partner to be.

In other words, yes, of course, please go for it!

[... She was not expecting it to be that accurate.

So she'll just be silent for a moment, and then she gives a small, sheepish laugh.]

W-wow, that was pretty accurate...

[harpbeat]

The cards don't lie.

[technologic]

A-aha, I can tell... [She bites her lip in uncertainty as her eyes glance between the cards and Eater.]

... S-so, I should just tell him?

[harpbeat]

You should just tell him.

[technologic]

[Cue another sheepish laugh.] I'll... I'll try to... [No, that isn't good enough. She frowns and shakes her head.] ... I-I'll make sure to tell him.

[harpbeat]

That's wonderful to hear.

[technologic]

[Some of her nerves disappear as she smiles at Eater.] Ehe, hopefully I won't mess it up... But thank you, for this.

[harpbeat]

Think nothing of it.
