( 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. )

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

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

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

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

( GENTARO DONT )

[unhappy]

Total coincidence. I just like guacamole.

[ Not because of the color, because she likes spicy things. ]

Wait, are peppers fruits or vegetables?

[yumenope]

It depends on who you ask, I suppose. I haven't bothered to look at the definition for awhile.

The spirits may be unsettled by this.

[unhappy]

So what spirits are talking to you? You're a moonblessed, right? Did a bunch of rabbit ghosts just start chatting you up or what?

[yumenope]

Something similar to that, yes.

Are you bothered by that thought?

[unhappy]

No. Are they sucking chroma out of you for this or what?

[ why do a bunch of ghosts care about talking to the living anyway ]
