::If you are going through the Park, Downtown or anywhere in the city, you can come across a a woman wearing a helmet and cloak sitting at a table.

It has a sign next to it reading "Tarot Readings, Palm Readings, and Psychic Divination. Pick One for 100 Yen."

Perhaps you'd like to take a chance.::

*I have been kicked out of the comfort of the wonderful library, holding an umbrella over themselves so they don't burn into a crisp under the summer sun, as they walk through the downtown plaza.

They do notice the odd table though set up, as they walk towards it. ... Tarot readings, huh?*

[triade-oscura.livejournal.com]

::Yes. Very cheap. 100 Yen for a reading.::

I take it you want your future read, nya?

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

*Nya?* Ah-- um. Yes. Yes, here. *reaches into their pocket, taking out a 100 yen coin and placing it onto the table*

Tarot?

::The noise a cat makes.::

French/Italian Card game that is professionally played, but English speaking countries associate with occultism, nya.

::She pulls a card with a woman in a bed, crying.::
The Nine of Swords, upright. In your past, you have worried about something, doubting your future, feeling worried an anxious. You've been depressed over something, nya.

::She places a card of a king with a wand, in the opposite position of the former.::
King of Wands, reverse. You desire to be inspired, creative and more bold and charismatic. But you find yourself blocked on the matter, like a mouse caught in a maze that can't find the cheese.

::She places a card of a man with a collection of cups, in the same position as the King of Wands::
Nine of Cups, reverse. As it stands and the you you are right now, you will never achieve your goals. You will never feel loved. Never feel pleased. Never feel content. Never satisfied.

::Walks by carrying a grocery bag. ... Then backs up (which is incredibly hard to do in High Heels, mind you), pulling out a 100 Yen coin.::

Hit me with the tarot.

[triade-oscura.livejournal.com]

So be it, nya.

::Places a card of a woman in a chariot, upside down::
VII - The Chariot, reversed. You failed to forge a way to victory or maintain disciplined, and fail to know yourself, and you've scummed to temptation. Or perhaps it was merely too early for it.

::Places a card of a man wandering, passing by three wands grounded in the earth.::
Three of Wands, upright. You seek to expand your horizons, plan ahead for the future, and set an example. To know more of the world.

::Places a card of a knight carrying a grail.::
Knight of Cups, upright. You will go for the higher spirit of things, as it were. The meaning behind all meanings. The hidden inner workings, nya.

[lust-ai-love.livejournal.com]

... I doubt I'll become a nun or a sister or anything... :: Skeptical.::

[triade-oscura.livejournal.com]

I said the higher meaning. Not religion, but the sublime, meow.

[lust-ai-love.livejournal.com]

So a hipster. Whatever. ::Dumps another coin.:: Keep the change, lady. ::Struts off.::

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

::Places 100 Yen.::

Tarot reading, please.

[mynameis-legion.livejournal.com]

I don't believe in it, but I suppose indulging it for once can't hurt. The tarot, sir or ma'am. ::Plops several Euros.::

[hyperhyposhiei.livejournal.com]

Why are you using a card game for fortune telling.

[triade-oscura.livejournal.com]

A celebrity as famous as you wants my knowledge? My my, meow.

::An angel blowing the horn of the apocalypse.::
XX - Judgment, upright. You were judged for something, something terrible possibly, but you've since been redeemed and reborn as someone better. And you realized your true self hidden under lies, nya.

::A man leaving his treasure goblets.::
Eight of Cups, upright. Your present. You feel worn out on things as they are. You wish to learn more, you feel exhausted from the celebrity, possibly. And you wish to move onto something better... brighter...

::A woman sitting a throne, guarding a realm of the strange and mysterious.::
II - The Priestess, upright. You will find out the spiritual, you will learn more about yourself and the truths you seek... well, you would of...

[triade-oscura.livejournal.com]

Then perhaps I can bring you to belief... meow...

::A knight charging to battle.::
Knight of Swords, upright. You were direct and forceful with matters, but you had no sense of tact. You cared about your goals but none of the feelings of others. And thus it cost you.

::A man hanging from a tree by his feet. But from your perspective, he's standing up::
XII - The Hanged Man, reverse. You are desperately resisting sacrificing and letting go and that you need to look inward at yourself to find the solutions to everything plaguing you.

::Four wands forming a party tent. But it's upside down.::
Four of Wands, reverse. You will never find happiness as long as you don't sacrifice and learn.

[triade-oscura.livejournal.com]

::Holds out "Modern Tarot Occultism AND YOU".::

Please, read. Meow.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

Would of...? ::Blinks.::

[mynameis-legion.livejournal.com]

Apologies, but I don't really believe any of this...

::Walking away.::

[hyperhyposhiei.livejournal.com]

... Fine then. Try it. ::Plops down a 100 Yen.::

[triade-oscura.livejournal.com]

::Waves her hand over the High Priestess, as it turns into XV - The Devil::

Except you will want to be obsessed, lose your sense of self, care only about your looks, money and lust. You will ignore enlightenment, nya, and you will become a creature of the flesh who denies the spiritual, who is cold and bleak and self centered.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

And why the hell would I do that..!?

[triade-oscura.livejournal.com]

::A king sits with infinite wealth, but he is upside down::
King of Coins, reverse, nya. You feel blocked on opportunity and mentally sluggish. Despite your skills, you feel undependable and irresponsible, and you cannot prove yourself. You do not feel as if you can encourage others. You feel you cannot commit, be competent, or be steady.

::A king sits with a mighty sword, but he is upside down.::
The King of Swords, in reverse, meow. You unable to learn, that you currently cannot find solutions. You are unable to tell the truth or figure things out. And that you cannot reach high standards.

This combined with the King of Coins shows an inability to feel mature or that whoever you are with is an equal partner. That you cannot put theory into practice, connect the earth and the heavens, make the idea the reality.

::Four wands forming a party tent.::
Four of Wands, upright. You will find your way and you will be happy though, nya.

[triade-oscura.livejournal.com]

350 Yen and I can do a more complex spread.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

::Pulls it out of her purse and slaps it down.::

Explain!

[triade-oscura.livejournal.com]

Fine, nya. ::Places Judgment and The Devil aside.::

The first card is the Eight of Cups, upright. The present. You acknowledge that you seek higher knowledge and are bored of the current life you have, nya. You seek to become a better person. Or at least a wiser, more enlightened one. This is the dominating factor, you wish to grow as a person. You do not seek to be a mere idol, nyaya.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

Well of course, I wouldn't want to be some willy nilly prancing idol forever. I just wanted to be taken seriously as a Duelist...
