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?

Life does have a way of surprising you.

[ He hums and nods even if it can't be seen. ]

You're welcome. [ This is why he tolerates Hobbs. Tolerates rather than likes, because he doesn't really like anyone. Which is his own cross to bear but whatever. ] It's been a hobby of mine since I was a child.

The religious organization I was part of... it believed tarot was quite important as a ritual.

[100more]

I see. Tarot has a long history.

[ He's not surprised if there's a religious group that puts a lot of value in it. ]

What religious organization is that, if I might ask?

[banworthy]

That it does.

[ :) ]

I don't mind. It's the Order of the Holy Woman.

Oh, I'm not familiar with that one. Perhaps it's not in my world, but tarot is. I've always thought it interesting, if a bit spooky, you know?

[banworthy]

Tarot is spooky to you?

[100more]

[ He laughs. ]

A bit. I mean, I can't help but be a bit spooked when a ominous looking card shows up or the prediction comes true.

[banworthy]

I suppose that makes some sense.

But don't worry about it too much. I'm just someone who does it as a hobby. I don't have any real power and so if anything comes true, just consider it coincidence.

[100more]

I'll keep that in mind. Thank you. But it is an interesting hobby. Maybe I'll read about it for fun.

[banworthy]

[ Siggggggggggggh. ]

And I like you enough to ask you how your relationship is going.

[ Poor Vincent. Socializing like a normal person. ]

Oh. [ embarrassed. ] It's going very well. We never argue or disagree about anything.

[banworthy]

[ He uses the word like because that's the easiest word to use. It isn't really like. It's just that he has enough investment in him to ask the question. But saying it like that -- he understands how it sounds. ]

You should. You should argue. No one should get along all the time.

[ Hob doesn't think of himself as much compared to the others here. It always amazes him that Loki took an interest in him at all. ]

I know. Sometimes, it feels too perfect.

[ Engage like a normal person, Vincent. Which you are. Because you are so normal. ]

[banworthy]

That's great. It's thrilling to hear how happy you are.

[100more]

Thank you. Any new developments in your life?

[ Hob has no idea if Vincent has someone special here or at home. ]

[banworthy]

Welcome.

I've created something for myself... but that's about it. [ He will bite anyone who claims to be someone special to him. ] Anyway, people that are happy like to share that happiness... so... given how high I value you, I'm willing to listen to your happiness.

[ So he says like he is saying he has to eat his vegetables. ]

[100more]

[ He's a strange fellow sometimes, but Hob has known a few academics who are kind of similar. ]

Well, it's kind of you to ask.

[banworthy]

I suppose so, yes.
