( 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.

[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]

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.

[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.

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?

[toservehuman]

[ his father's name is pain overlord. he also knows a reign fear. look, it's best not to ask. you're better off not knowing sometimes. ]

You can ask them whatever you'd like. I'm just curious how your powers work. Are you human?

[fineprinted]

A... golden egg?

[ headtilt ]

I-Is that literal? Because you never know with this place and their unique fauna, you know? And would it break on impact? I mean if anything it'd just break my bones if it ever lands on me...

[ why is he taking this literally ]

[yumenope]

( ???? what intense discourse over a golden egg.

gentaro’s expression remains unchanged despite the internal amusement at this. )

The fates are fickle and haven’t given me any more material to draw from. The aura of the future did not seem bleak. I wouldn’t worry about imminent danger.

[yumenope]

( he wants to see that family tree drawn out. please. )

As human as they come, yes. I take it you’re interested in a glimpse into the unknown, then?

[toservehuman]

[ how would you like to know about brutal bones and his daughter white bones? lord, this series is out of its mind ]

Anything you can tell me ♥!

Is this a power that many humans from your world possess, or are you unique?

[fineprinted]

Oh, that's a relief... In that case, are there any lucky items or colors that I should keep an eye out for?

[ tsumugi he's a seer, not a straight-up fortuneteller............. ]

[yumenope]

( it’s all a lie so he’s not even going to bother making that distinction evidently!!! )

Gold.

( im sorry. )

[yumenope]

It’s not often discussed. I wouldn’t say I’m the only one with this gift.

( the gift of lies!!! )

Then I shall read your fortune. But you must pick a fruit.

[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!

[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~

ready for my fortune mr futureman

[toservehuman]

The climate is too cold for most fruit to grow where I'm originally from, and like I said, I don't really eat them... But I guess I've read about apples!

[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? ]

[fineprinted]

[ gold............... ]

You mean literal gold? Um, I'm not sure if I can afford it right now so maybe I'll settle for wearing a golden outfit for now... Thank you, sir. May I know your name, at least?

The spirits? Do you know what is disturbing them?

[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]

I hope this will not disappoint.

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

[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.

[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.
