( 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. )

[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?]

( 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.

[trustfallen]

[alas! he shall live to be disappointed then...]

The spirits want to know everyone's favorite fruits in exchange for a fortune.

[He sums it up, still dubious. But if that's really all it is... what's the harm?

One heavy sigh later:]

... Therion. Apples.
