( 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. )

Yes. I’ve been told... the humidity.

[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.

[yumenope]

Apples. All right.

( whatever. not like he really cares. )

Your future holds, well, something very cold and a candle.

[teaserving]

boo shitty
not only is this something i already know i already don't follow this advice
good thing i didn't spend hug money

[yumenope]

( he’s not at all sorry he’s like this. but it’s amusing the hell out of him so. whatever. )

You may call me Yumeno. Be sure to avoid silver, as it’ll rule up the spirits.

[yumenope]

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

I don’t follow.

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

[ Oranges are delicious, of course most spirits would also like them!

... He sits there, waiting for him to go on...

...

He clears his throat. ]

Ah, in what way? Good Seer, I'm afraid I don't understand... How does this relate to my future overall?

[yumenope]

I see. Then I suppose the knowledge of a rabid spider and a silver kettle wouldn’t be of interest, either.

[yumenope]

Hm.

( a long pause. )

I’m seeing a field and a sea of blue. There’s a kite, I believe, and a red stone. Do any of these things mean anything to you?

[teaserving]

all right i'll see where this goes

[wearingguess]

[ nngh... should he assert his independence from lady scheherazade by deliberately not choosing grapes?
no, no... after everything he's done, and everything she's done for him... how could he possibly be so ungrateful as to choose anything else?
but he's really been hitting the apricots hard lately... and even made a new friend because of them, so...
this is impossible!! ]

Dates!!
I choose dates!

[winepouring]

[ Even knowing a lot of these are very vague— ]

Oh, the sea! Yes, what's happening with it?

[ He's back to being excited - or anxious? Anxious may be a better word for it. ]

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

[Oh, it's this guy again.]

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

Nakajima Atsushi, peaches.

[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?

[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?

[tigerpoet]

[writer solidarity...?]

For fun. I'm not particularly in need of guidance right now, I think, but I want to hear what you have to say.

[yumenope]

( that's a word for it. )

Then who am I to deny a humble request?

( there's a lot of reasons why, but okay let's begin. a pause. )

I'm seeing a chain, a beetle and lavender. Do any of those things have particular importance?

[yumenope]

( that's a lot of enthusiasm for a fruit. but all right, he supposes he can work with this!! )

A wise choice.

( sure it is. anyway... )

I'm seeing mint and twigs. A forest of some sorts. Does that sound familiar?

[yumenope]

Do the woods hold any particular importance to you?

[yumenope]

There's a storm. It's restless.

Are you in a quarrel with someone close?

[tigerpoet]

[writer shitposting]

Not really? Well, maybe a metaphorical chain... But the other two, no.

[yumenope]

( stirring the pot, like he does. )

Tell me more about the metaphorical chain, then.

[tigerpoet]

It's something I'm usually private about... I apologize, I haven't given you enough to work with.

[he doesn't talk about his split personality with just anyone.]

[yumenope]

( an intriguing twist. he'd pry, but that's not who he is. so he'll continue )

The spirits have enough that they're working with, surely. I will place my trust in them.

Does the ocean mean anything to you? Ice?
