[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!]

[terribletwos]

that's not really specific

[hagrides]

It is difficult to be specific when there are seventy-eight cards.

[terribletwos]

why do you need so many to read a fortune/

[hagrides]

If there were only a small number of answers it could provide, it would not be particularly useful, would it?

[terribletwos]

that's a good point. so how does it work/

[hagrides]

Ask me a question about your future, and I will endeavor to answer it.

[ Roxas is skeptical toward this sort of thing, though curious at the same time. And there is a question that he really would like to know the answer to, if this is real.

Then again, the person had said that they had no experience so maybe he shouldn't get his hopes up based on what could be a random guess. He could start with something less important. ]

well, i've been struggling with something lately. is it going to take a long time to be better at it/

[hagrides]

[Grimm flips over the Two of Swords.]

The Two of Swords: avoidance, stalemate. A clear sign that the situation will not change soon.

[terribletwos]

[ Roxas frowns from his end of the connection, not that Grimm can see it in a text message. It's definitely not the sort of fortune he needs right now. ]

that's not really helpful. (¬_¬)

[hagrides]

Yes or no questions are not its strong point.

[terribletwos]

i can tell. can it at least tell me what i need to do to get better/

[hagrides]

[After shuffling the deck, Grimm flips over Strength.]

Strength, meaning patience and mental fortitude. Do not try to force things, for that will only make you more frustrated. Try to have patience with your rate of progress.

[terribletwos]

it's hard to be patient when nothing seems to be working

[hagrides]

All the more reason you should strive to improve your patience.

[terribletwos]

how do you even do that/

[hagrides]

Find something you wish for and make yourself wait to get it, would be the simplest option.

[terribletwos]

there's nothing i really want.

and the only thing, i already have to wait for.

[ Which is to see Xion again. But that's not voluntary patience on his part. ]

[hagrides]

Can one truly wish for only one thing? That seems... sad, perhaps.

[Wanting is a very human emotion. Or insect emotion.]

[terribletwos]

i have the other things i want

[ He just doesn't want that much. Being alive is kind of covering his BIG want. ]

[hagrides]

Then you are very fortunate.

[Or easy to satisfy. One or the other.]

[terribletwos]

how many wishes do people usually have/

[hagrides]

Quite a number, though most are not particularly pressing wants.

For example, at the moment I would like a nice cup of tea.

[terribletwos]

i guess i want ice cream a lot

[ Even though, Aqua says it's a bad idea to have it every day. Dumb health rules. ]

[hagrides]

That counts as a want.

[Aqua sounds like a wise woman.]

[terribletwos]

well, i'm holding myself back from that since aqua says too much it makes you sick.
