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?

More or less.

[hyphanated]

.....It isn't made up?

[Because "more or less" sounds kind of unreliable...]

[banworthy]

It isn't made up, but it's only a vague reading that means it might not happen.

[hyphanated]

Oh. So it's an uncertain science.

Could I ask what your own result is, when you try it?

[banworthy]

It is.

[ He makes a noise in the back of his throat. ]

I can't read the cards for myself. Not even a vague reading.

[hyphanated]

? Why not?

[Shouldn't it be easier to read for yourself, considering you'd know more about yourself than you do about most others?]

[banworthy]

Consider it like a weakness.

I can read my own cards if someone else asks a question for me. [ But anyway. ] It's mostly what I'm asking and what I'm thinking tends to make the readings a little off.

[hyphanated]

[Does he understand this? He sort of understands this...he's going to pretend he understands this.]

Have you ever found someone else to read cards for you? It seems like it would be useful, to hear about your future.

[banworthy]

To be honest, I don't need it.

[ SQUINTS. SHOULD HE SAY THANK YOU? UGH. NO. ]

Whatever happens, happens. I've done everything I can to prevent the worst and that's all anyone can do.

[hyphanated]

[...Oh...well, when he puts it that way...]

I've done everything I could as well. There always seems to be more future happening than I expected, though.

[banworthy]

What does that mean? There's more future happening than you expected?

[hyphanated]

What I mean is, there were some times when I thought I was going to die. But I'm still here now.

[banworthy]

Like you avoided death multiple times?

[hyphanated]

I guess so. Though I think I did actually die once, too.

[banworthy]

What do you mean you think you died?

[hyphanated]

I burned up. But then I woke up again, so I'm not sure if it really counts as having died.

[banworthy]

How did you burn but not die? I guess you don't know...?

[hyphanated]

I don't know what happened in between.

[To be honest, he does know a little bit, but should he bother explaining spores...]

[banworthy]

[ Well, he kind of hates that but-- ]

I see. An odd question but you remained yourself?

[hyphanated]

Mn, I'm...renewed? But I don't think I've changed at all, aside from that.

[banworthy]

Renewed?!

[hyphanated]

Mhm. I was decaying before.

[banworthy]

What?!

[hyphanated]

What?

[banworthy]

What does that mean?!
