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?

Comments

[banworthy]

Fair enough.

What is the man's stock value?

Justice, upright. Fairness, truth, and accountability are required.

Hermit, reversed. Withdrawal.

Two of swords, reversed. Event will happen soon to alter the course of the alleged trade and bring about a potentially fruitful payout.

Moderately stable stock.

[restingstitchface]

And what stock always holds value? Information.

And what stock can we possess freely other than rumour and happenstance?

[GOSSIP.]

[banworthy]

Well, it seems like the timing has come along... do you want to share something with me?

1/2

[restingstitchface]

Not particularily.

2/2

[restingstitchface]

What do your cards say about that Nate fellow up there?

[ time to talk shit and gossip ]

[banworthy]

If you're asking seriously, they -- [ Pulls card. ] -- view him as the Chariot. Controlling and want to be in control of their circumstances and self. Which consequentially makes them irritating.

[ Flicks the card to the side. ]

forgot to say this whole thread from the 2/2 tag is private WHOOPS

[restingstitchface]

It almost makes one want to see what happens when he loses all sense of control, doesn't it? What do the cards say about that?

WE PRIVATE OVER HERE

[banworthy]

Honestly, it indicates he'd be able to achieve his goals if he did lose control.

[ He waves a card but he's voice so: ]

Nine of Wands.

[restingstitchface]

Fascinating. But what do they say about his future?

[banworthy]

I've already read that... it's a stagnating future because he's not willing to let go of whatever is holding him back.

[ A small shrug. ]

And that is all there is to it.

[restingstitchface]

So it seems.

Speaking of which, he seems a bit overconfident, doesn't he?

[banworthy]

Yes, well, most people do.

It's why I dislike most people.

[restingstitchface]

You prefer it when people don't take themselves too seriously?

[banworthy]

I prefer if people didn't irritate me, but that rarely ever happens.

But I'm a magnanimous person who is willing to endure for the sake of what they can do. [ A beat. ] See? I feel it's better to be honest how I am than have someone find out later I only care how useful they are to me.

Saves me some headaches, at least.

[restingstitchface]

You think so. But you will always get people willing to offer their little barbs. The overconfident sort who hold too high an opinion of their own, well, opinion. Not naming names, of course.


[ nate ]

[banworthy]

Yes, well, that's why people are awful.

One of the many, many flaws that they have.

[restingstitchface]

Yes, well, people are flawed. Such is the nature of being human.

[banworthy]

That's just an excuse to be irritating.

And did you want a reading on yourself? Or just want to ask about someone else?

[restingstitchface]

[So he does notice.]

I agree. It's not very thoughtful.

So how about a thoughtful reading. What is my state of mind right now?

[banworthy]

State of mind?

[ He hums. ]

Look at that? The Nine of Pentacles, again. It's reversed. It means you are, unfortunately, lacking fulfillment. There is something that you're looking for but not yet acquired it. Unfortunate.

[restingstitchface]

That would be accurate were I interested in the goal and not the journey. After all, the greatest part of work for some is the process. How would you adjust your reading to account for that?

[banworthy]

It means that even the journey isn't being that enjoyable, either.

[restingstitchface]

Or I'm on more than one journey.

[banworthy]

How exhausting for you.

[restingstitchface]

Perhaps. But I do love the exercise.
