[♀ - 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.)]

[ it's not like this guy knows what Tarot is, but hey, he's still passing through the lobby today, so he can't help but be a bit curious and saunter over. ]

Are you perhaps playing a game..?

[harpbeat]

Fortune telling with Tarot cards. I didn't expect it to be so popular.

[rocker]

Fortune telling, is it..? I think I have seen that before.

[ back in his days.. except that was heresy most of the time, oops. ]

But of course it would be popular in a place like this, would it not? Quite a few people pass by here.

[harpbeat]

But not all of them are interested - just more than I thought.

[rocker]

Have you practiced this kind of fortune telling back home too?

[harpbeat]

I have. Although my magical powers are nonfunctional here, this seems to be working quite well.

[rocker]

As long as you are able to make people happy by telling them their fortunes, I am sure you are doing something noble.

[harpbeat]

Would you like one, Archer?

[rocker]

[ there's a quiet moment - as if he's considering it. ]

... I would not mind having my fortune read, I suppose. Especially if you are working so hard.

[harpbeat]

[Eater hands him the deck.]

Please shuffle the cards, and as you're doing so, focus on the question you wish to ask. Then hand the cards back to me and tell me your question.

[rocker]

[ ... for a moment he wonders what to ask, but.. well.. it's pretty obvious, so he grabs the cards rather quickly to shuffle them - slowly, since he's not really used to doing anything like that. ]

There. [ he hands them back. ] My question is if I will find a wife soon.

[ what else would you expect.. ]

[harpbeat]

[She deals the cards out and flips each one over in turn.]

Your past is represented by the Tower, a card of sudden change and upheaval. A crisis was necessary to undergo a revelation.

Your present is represented by the Six of Pentacles. The Six of Pentacles is a difficult card - it represents both having and not having, in terms of resources, knowledge, and power. You are knowledgeable, but in the overall situation perhaps you are more ignorant than you would like.

You are helped by the Page of Cups. Cups is the most intimate, emotional, and loving suit, and the Page will surely bring you opportunities for love.

Your obstacles are represented by the Hermit. A card of looking inward and solitude, the Hermit suggests that you have cut yourself off emotionally, and this will hurt you in your quest for your wife.

The Ace of Wands stands for the attitudes of others. This card stands for enthusiasm, optimism, and courage. Seek out someone with these qualities, perhaps, or simply understand the aura of excitement around you.

Your course of action is shown by the Ten of Wands. In this position it suggests that your path will include struggles, and that you will have to take on the lion's share of the work in order to see results.

However, your outcome is shown by the Seven of Pentacles. This card stands for seeing rewards after hard work. Your labors will bring you what you desire, although it may not be soon.

[rocker]

[ A lot of this.. actually does sound very valid to him - the crisis in his past and the relevation from it, being ignorant about the situation here, even 'cutting himself off emotionally', huh..

... but the end result.. ]

Thank you. Even if it is not soon, it is good to hear all the same if it would be true. [ a nod. ]

[harpbeat]

I am happy to be of help to you~
