UN: ScielCandide | Video

[cache_coeur]

[The camera is fixed on a table, upon which sits a neat stack of cards –– black with gold foil in the shape of a sun and moon bisecting each other. The user’s hands pass over the deck and spreads it wide into an arc. Her hands are tanned, with two rings on her ring finger and one on her index finger, and she has so many colourful braided bracelets that some wind around her palm.

Her voice is pleasant, playful, French, a little theatrical:]

Bonsoir, mes amies!

Tonight and tonight only, I will tell your fortune with a single card. Tell me your name, and if you would like to hear about love, money, health or the soul.

If it moves you, you must repay me with an amusing anecdote about yourself.

Ready to play?

Oh, he’ll know. I’ve tried it before with bits of wire, but he notices. That’s part of the game!

[She smiles. Maybe he’ll even catch this one! It’s not completely invisible. She reaches out to gently pinch Maelle’s cheek, playful.]

And you need to practice keeping a straight face!

He's going to start checking every part of this apartment for traps.

[Not that Maelle wouldn't find it hilarious. He certainly never had to worry about that in Lumiere with her and Emma.

At the pinch, she laughs, playfully ducking away from Sciel's fingers.]

I'm going to need to be in a different room. I'll know when I hear the spray of water and Sciel!

It’ll be extra funny, then, with you tearing across the apartment to get out of sight.

[She tries one more time, just to be funny, and then relents and goes to fetch her shoes instead.]

Now I’m off. I shouldn’t be too late, but call me if you need anything, alright? I’m never too plastered for you.
