Hello.

How are you all doing? [ A beat. ] Actually, you all know I don't care so let's ignore that question, hm?

So, who would like to have their fortune, romantic future, or whatever told?

I know, I know... tarot is still a [ Longer pause. ] hobby of mine, but one you get to reap the rewards of today.

Fun, right?

[devota]

I know where that is.

[She could just. Pop right over, but refrains until Vincent says something. It's less... abrupt.]

[banworthy]

Very well.

Come along, then... as a powerless person, I can't change much.

[ Sometimes, Vincent just likes to not have a good time and sometimes, he just likes making jokes about himself. ]

[devota]

You do seem to be doing well for yourself.

[Perhaps one of the only good things about their relationships is how Claudia never especially minded Vincent's lack of power. It never factored into their relationship when they were younger.]

[devota]

[And then she quite suddenly appears.

Hopefully Vincent is nearby.]

[restingstitchface]

Well, that's true. It affords one more room to relax.

[sophielicious]

bye, vincent.

[strumpet]

( all she could really do was laugh at his words, her amusement seeming to come through the audio in one way or another. he was a strange one, and she's sure he wasn't that connected to the energy of the cards but alas—

she'll save her true judgements for when she runs into him in person. )

Surprisingly.....both as well.

Hi! I hope you're doing alright even if you don't care how the rest of us are doing.

I'd like to hear my fortune, if it's not too much trouble?

[banworthy]

[ Soft ugh followed by a louder ugh. ]

Might be. Tell me why you hope I'm all right. I'm going to charge you and only you if I don't like the answer.

[banworthy]

[ A click of his tongue.

[banworthy]

If you have no power, you can use them.

[banworthy]

[ He huffs out something like a sigh. There are only a few things that really get under his skin. The laughter is more amused by his statement than looking down on him. As someone who is incredibly sensitive to such sounds, he catches the difference. So he can only sigh.

A beat. ]

For religious purposes?

[restingstitchface]

And to think people call others unethical for being so pragmatic.

[Us. He means us.]

All that power yet they are only quick to act when they can punch down.

[banworthy]

It is how it is, but it's also fine.

Those power-wielding [ There is a hand gesture put here instead of a word. ] all jumped at the chance to be useful and helpful and save people. So, they can't be mad that others want to ask for them to do things for them. Unless they want to be hypocrites about how they use their power.

[ Will Claudia involve herself in those kind of posts? He can't imagine she will. He hopes she won't. Not out of any desire to keep her from being used, but because of how irritating it would be to see. ]

[restingstitchface]

[Such a vivid and colourful use of language, father!]

Being hypocrites would make them more interesting case studies, honestly. There's always been something boring about a picture perfect hero. Other than knowing such things cannot possibly exist.

[bubblegumheart]

Do I need a reason to hope you're doing alright?

[Sorry, guy. She's absolutely serious.]

Nobody has any money here, but I could probably bake you something if you don't want to do it for free.

[hyphanated]

[This being a voice call, An Zhe has no idea what Vincent is doing or where he's calling these results from, but it's fascinating nonetheless.]

Fate... [He does feel rather helpless a lot of the time...and what's this about lovers meaning friendship?] Did cards really say all that?

[strumpet]

( the question is a bit tricky—

she doesn't want to lie and say it was for religious purposes because she might get called out on it [she was religious but buddhism wasn't too well known by most], and she couldn't say it was one of many tricks and traits she had to learn to entertain her 'clients'. so after a brief moment, she simply spoke up. )

I don't think you really care what the answer to that would be, so let's just say it was either learn that or learn how to do tea leaf fortune readings.

Which I ended up learning both. Do you know how to do that? Tasseography?

Hi Vincent!

[ Chipper as always, Miss Rosie. ]

I'd be happy to get a reading, even if to just help you practice!

[banworthy]

So use them as they wish to be used - to help the helpless for I, at least, am helpless.

[banworthy]

Yes.

[ ???????????? What does she mean does she need a reason????????? Yes??? ]

Yes, bake me something.

[ Vincent wonders not for the first time why these people insist on bothering him. It's a game. Play or don't play it. If they don't want to play it, they can just go. He makes strangle gestures with his hands as he wonders why people are so irritating. This is why he wants to find a way to close off the town so he doesn't have to deal with anything, but no! Claudia had to feel bad about the suffering of people! People who also would think she's insane! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! ]
