[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!]

Comments

[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?]

now with correct journal

[hagrides]

[Grimm flips over the Five of Wands, the Magician, and the Eight of Swords.]

The Five of Wand, for disagreement and hassles. The Magician, for action and conscious awareness. The Eight of Swords, for restriction and powerlessness.

Hm... Conflict with others seems to lie in your future. In this case, I would suggest to think very carefully about your actions, about why you are doing them and what the results may be. In a place like Lunatia, you might find yourself more constrained in certain ways than you might be at home.

[doctorize]

....... Oh.

[Well that's definitely not what Danny was hoping to hear.

Not to mention how too little too late this advice ultimately is, given... everything that happened with Jyuto.]

[hagrides]

[That sure is a response of some kind.]

Does that ring true for you, my friend?

[doctorize]

I... are you sure that's an accurate reading of my future?

[Because he kind of already fucked up on this front like three weeks ago, is there more he has to look forward to in this issue here...]

[hagrides]

Not at all. I did say I was only a novice at this.

[Maybe that translates to being a few weeks late on readings?]

[doctorize]

[That's right, he did say that, which does make him feel a little more at ease. Maybe it's late, or not even that accurate at all for him to be putting any faith in...

... unless... the reading is referring to conflicts with someone other than Jyuto, he thinks as someone else ends up coming to mind now...]

Well, regardless... I'll still take this advice in mind for now, just in case.

[hagrides]

I hope that it may be of service to you.

[doctorize]

[Danny considers something, before he asks--]

Are you able to give multiple readings a day, or is it best to only ask one question at a time here?

[hagrides]

I had thought to limit it to one per person, but since you are a friend, you are an exception.

[doctorize]

How kind of you.

[But what to even ask... actually, maybe rather than pushing his luck, he should ask for something small--]

How about instead of reading far into the future, what do you suppose my fortune may say just for how my day might go today?

[Anything to look forward to, or should he just... call this day a wash while we can and not leave the apartment...]

[hagrides]

[After shuffling, Grimm flips over the Queen of Wands.]

The Queen of Wands, a woman who is energetic, sincere, and self-assured. Perhaps you should pay a visit to a friend?

[tarot deck says say hi to Venus]

[doctorize]

[I mean that could also sound like Angela... but Venus is the only one he actually knows where they live and can thus feasibly visit easily, so...]

... You know, that might not be a bad idea? I'd just have to see first if she's up for it today.

[hagrides]

Of course, of course. Fortunetelling is no excuse to be rude.

[doctorize]

Of course.

After I hear back from her, I'll be sure to let you know later whether or not your prediction held true or not.

wrapup

[hagrides]

I look forward to hearing from you.
