( the video feed cuts on and a very pretty man in traditional clothing fills the frame, a serious look in his eyes. )

For one day only, I am benevolently offering my services as a seer, so to speak.

You see, I can glimpse into the future in short bursts and divine what awaits you. The spirits are restless and have compelled me to offer up my services, free of charge, to all who may desire them.

So please, supply your name and your favorite fruit and allow me to read your future.

( this, of course, has all been a lie. but damn does it sound convincing and very prettily and eloquently spoken. )

[ and right on cue, tsumugi is here like the sucker that he is. it's just like phoning in to a psychic hotline, whooo ]

Free of charge? You're much too kind... My name is Aoba Tsumugi, and... I honestly don't have a preference in fruit? I like anything sweet and all.

[yumenope]

No preference? That seems hard to imagine, but I suppose the spirits will alert me if that is untrue.

( no?? they won’t?? stop that. either way, he’s content with the information provided by this young fellow.

so there’s a dramatic pause and then: )

A golden egg of opportunity falls into your lap this week.

[foolishjustice]

[....Does he want to know? He's not sure, honestly. If this fortune teller is real, he could confirm a fear that's been eating at him for...a while. But he could also quiet it, and...fortunes aren't usually set in stone, right? And if the man is a fraud, it's not like he's charging for it, so there's nothing to lose as long as he keeps in mind that this might not yield any real information.

He looks a bit uncertain when he responds, nervously tugging at the hair framing his face.]

...Goro Akechi, and strawberries.

[yumenope]

( ah yes, a somewhat familiar face. it’s certainly been awhile and there’s no need to call attention to it. )

Strawberries. A noble choice.

( stop??? anyway, thanks for playing his game. there will be a dramatic pause before he continues: )

You will learn about another person in the process of teaching them something.

[toservehuman]

Shell Overlord, and I don't really eat fruit. Can you really tell the future?

[yumenope]

( he has to wonder.... what kind of name is that??? but he supposes that’s answered the prompt well enough. )

Is that the question you would like to ask the spirits?

[winepouring]

[ Oh, fortunes!! Shi Qingxuan is already hopeful. So far, the only other fortune he received here was (probably) nothing but nonsense, but maybe this fortune will be accurate, as strange as the method seems?

Regardless, he doesn't hesitate to go on video, likewise dressed in traditional clothing and smiling brightly. ]

You're a seer? Then, can you tell me a little about my future as well? Someone told me something very cryptic about my future, so I'm curious what you might see. My name is Shi Qingxuan, and my favorite fruit is oranges!

[yumenope]

( don’t worry, you’ll be equally disappointed with this one. sorry, man. )

Oranges, yes. The spirits are appeased.

( no. that doesn’t make sense. anyway!! on to the fortune. )

By helping someone else today, you may also be helping yourself.

[saigawa]

[Kashuu looks incredibly skeptical about this. Another fortune teller?]

Might be worth a try, I guess.

[Better the future than the past, right? If this guy is legit.]

Name's Kashuu Kiyomitsu, and I love strawberries~

[yumenope]

( strawberries. hmmmmmmm. )

A wise choice. The spirits will be pleased.

( no they won’t. anyway, a pause. )

Your fortune is as follows:
Do what you can to prolong your life, in the hope that someday you'll learn what it's for.

[yumenope]

I hope this will not disappoint.

Your fortune is as follows: Be cautious in your daily affairs.

[wearingguess]

[ oh boy... he wants to know, but he really doesn't want to know... but he really wants to know...!! ]

I...
I am Titus Alexius! And I love apricots!
—Wait, no! Grapes. Or... or figs, maybe... and peaches and plums are incredibly delicious as well...

[ shit!! is this going to throw off his whole future? ]

[yumenope]

( apricots, a bold choice. he’d say as much, but he doesn’t want to fluster the guy. too much. )

You’ll have to pick one, I’m afraid.

[sizhui]

The spirits? Do you know what is disturbing them?

[yumenope]

Yes. I’ve been told... the humidity.

[champagnetower]

[What an interesting post. It would be a shame if he

questioned the authenticity of it

wouldn't it?]

Looking for new things to write about?

[yumenope]

( NO!!!! no banned go away. leave. )

I don’t follow.

( sorry he’s not playing this game today hifumi. )

[systembreaker]

Uwah, I love fortunes! My name is BB and my favourite fruit... hmm, I'm going to say cherries.

[yumenope]

A noble choice.

( a pause, for dramatic effect. )

I'm seeing a lot of silk and green in your future. Does that ring a bell?

[tigerpoet]

[Oh, it's this guy again.]

I don't feel particularly restless, so I suppose they're different spirits.

Nakajima Atsushi, peaches.

[yumenope]

( he feels almost bad with this rouse to someone he moderately enjoys the company of. )

Not of your type, I assure you. I should have clarified.

Is there a reason you want to know your own future?

[unhappy]

[ This sounds super dumb. She's kind of into it. Hmm. ]

I like most fruit. Avocado is really good though. I'm Emerald.

[yumenope]

( it'll only get dumber and stranger, certainly. )

Is the choice related to the name at all? A mere coincidence?

( GENTARO DONT )

[hoasen]

[What is he trying now. Fiance!!]

Very well, I will try. I like many kinds of fruit...let's go with jackfruit.

[yumenope]

( your fiance is problematic, sorry. )

A harrowing choice, my fiancé. Are you certain you would like to hear the result?

[ciao]

Wow! Another fortune teller--this business seems to be booming nowadays, I think Romania would be very pleased if he were here to see this.

[ you know, in more ways than one. but that aside ]

Though I have to say... even though names could have a very powerful connection what's the addition of the fruit for?

[yumenope]

( listen, he needs to save all his creativity for things that matter. not shitposts on the feed... )

One's tastebuds are predetermined at birth. The fruit that one enjoys most has substantial meaning for their fate.

[trustfallen]

[Therion frowns and spends a while turning this video over in his mind, thinking about what on earth the catch could possibly be for this. If it's legit, depending on the glimpses, it might be useful - and Therion is nothing if not superstitious; knowing the future would be damn useful for a thief, after all. And yet...]

What do you get out of this? Why favorite fruit?

[Is this just an elaborate way of getting names for future scams?]

[yumenope]

( it won't be useful at all. sorry to disappoint you... )

The satisfaction of calming the spirits. As for your second inquiry... they simply have asked.

[illusionistic]

Pineapple and Aeacinos Ixocia. [ A pause. ]

These spirits...what are they like?

[yumenope]

Raucous and impulsive. I've never seen spirits quite like this before.
