[The human-sized bug person on your screen may or may not be familiar to you. What also may or may not be familiar is the deck of Tarot cards that he's shuffling.]

Hello, Lunatia. Permit me the chance to practice a new hobby of mine by reading your fortune.

I am aware there are professionals here who charge for this service - as I am only a hobbyist with no experience whatsoever, and no powers in the realm of future-telling, it would be unfair for me to ask for pay.

Ask any single question you wish.

[All questions will be answered by a real shuffle of a real tarot deck!]

Oh, that sounds fun! Hmm... Do you suppose I'll ever get used to all this? I mean, it wasn't that bad during Cordis because it made me too happy to really care about anything, but that has its own problems.

[hagrides]

[Grimm flips three cards face up: the Eight of Swords, the Five of Pentacles, and the Queen of Swords.]

The Eight of Swords, standing for restriction, confusion, and powerlessness. The Five of Pentacles, symbolizing hard times and lacking support. The Queen of Swords - a woman who is honest, intelligent, and charismatic.

It is quite reasonable to feel at a loss, being suddenly taken to a place you don't know with no obvious way to return home. All the more so if there are none from your own world here to serve as your support system. Take on the aspects of the Queen and be honest with yourself and those around you, and her charisma will help you rebuild that support here.

[isntitsad]

That's something I can definitely do. Making connections is the most important thing here anyway, isn't it?

[There's so much about this that is so fascinating, and the fortune telling is the least interesting part of it. But hey, sounds entertaining, so why not??]

I'm not super familiar with cards like that, but can't you get an idea of what's in a person's future through them? If so, I definitely want to hear what the cards have to say about my future!

[hagrides]

[Grimm deals three cards: Ten of Cups, Four of Pentacles, Ten of Wands.]

Ten of Cups, finding happiness and peace. Four of Pentacles, control and resistance to change. Ten of Wands, overextending and struggling. Tens in general symbolize endings of stages of your life.

Hmmm... Based on this, I would say that you may expect to do mostly what you are doing now, and will find fulfillment in that. Expect difficulty along the way, especially if you insist upon doing it entirely by yourself.

[greatestcool]

Huh...

[He's quiet for a moment while he considers that. Interesting...]

That sounds pretty accurate! Obviously I can't see the future either, but that's pretty much how I've been living for awhile now, so makes sense.

[Entirely by himself, though... Hmm!! Well, it's not like any of this will come true anyway, it's just a fun way to pass time.]

Where'd you learn to do this sort of thing? Seems like it could be really fun to tell peoples' fortunes!

more fortunes/

how do you read a fortune/ i thought they were just a way to bring good luck.

[hagrides]

A different kind of fortune. The cards have meanings, and what cards are drawn in response to a question may provide an answer.

[terribletwos]

what sort of meanings/

[wantsnudes]

Interesting... Perhaps this is a vague request, but I would like to know what the future holds for myself and those I hold dear.

[hagrides]

[Grimm draws three cards: Eight of Pentacles, Queen of Swords, Page of Pentacles.]

Eight of Pentacles: showing diligence and acquiring knowledge. The Queen of Swords, a woman who is honest, intelligent, and charismatic. The Page of Pentacles, a youth who is practical, trusting and trustworthy.

Hm... Those court cards could be figures in your life or simply encouragement to act and feel as they do. I would suggest a focus on learning while you are here, and finding ways to put that learning to good use.

[wantsnudes]

Hm... Then perhaps Midna is the Queen, and I am the Page...? Or perhaps...

[He looks away from the communicator, mumbling something incomprehensible to himself, as if lost in thought. Then he remembers Grimm is still there and blinks back at the camera.]

This is most fascinating! Thank you for the reading, and for the advice.

Hello Grimm!

[Lobco isn't home so video it is!]

Could you please tell me if my former witch and fellow familiars are doing well?

[She'd like to know of her parents too but quite frankly Chlomaki and the others are much more likely to be in danger, given the circumstances.]

[hagrides]

For a yes or no question, one card, I believe.

[He draws a card: Nine of Pentacles.]

The Nine of Pentacles. Refinement and self-reliance.

They are fine. You need not worry that your absence has caused them harm.

[justsomeshrimp]

..that's good to hear.

[She had imagined as much, but having someone else's insight was relieving]

Thank you, Grimm.

[sivard]

Sounds fun.

How's it work? I've never had my fortune told before.

[hagrides]

Ask me a question about your future, and I shall draw... three cards, or one if it is a yes or no question. From those cards I shall interpret the answer.

Or something along those lines.

[sivard]

Sounds like fun.

All, right, ah, let's see. What do the cards say about my chances of meetin' anyone else I know?

I've only come across a couple of people I know.

[doctorize]

Oh my, it sounds interesting... but to be honest, I'm not even sure what to ask! I don't think I've ever had someone do a Tarot reading for me before.

[Unless Episode 0 suddenly decides to make me eat my own words in the future on that one, that is.]

[hagrides]

Perhaps a general question about what your future holds?

[doctorize]

Hmm... alright, sure, let's go with that. What does my future hold now that I'm living here in this place?

[... Is he potentially going to regret asking this?]

[onerous]

[She glances through to see who’s responding and smiles lightly.]

Are you having fun?

[hagrides]

Indeed I am. I can see why Divine enjoys reading fortunes so much.

[His voice is fond as he mentions his troupemate. It always is.]

[chainlinks]

I have a friend who is not here that was an amazing fortune reader.

I'm interesting to see what happens if you read mine.

[Will he get the Fool or the World or something different entirely? This could be fun...]

Will I see more of my friends show up here?

[hagrides]

[Grimm flips over the Four of Wands, because he actually read with a full deck and not just the Major Arcana like some people.]

The Four of Wands. Celebration and excitement. That would seem to be a 'yes' if I have ever read one.
