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. It sounds simple enough, I guess. The pictures are pretty.

[Vivi is more used to Tetra Master back home, only through having watched the others play here and there. He hasn't had his fortune told before. But it does seem interesting. The art on the cards is nice. He's more used to ones with the enemies he usually fights.]

[cache_coeur]

Aren’t they? [She sounds delighted; she loves these things.] I always wonder who painted the originals, but I’ve never known.

Did you want your fortune read?

[ornitiers]

Oh. Well, they are pretty. I'm sure I couldn't do that well illustrating. But ah, I guess? Sure!

[He's nothing if not ever curious. So Vivi nods, agreeing to let her tell his fortune with the cards. That way she can explain them, what they mean. Or at least, whichever card he gets.]

[cache_coeur]

Me neither, I think I would manage scribbles.

[She smiles. Dealer's choice on the topic, so she settles on something general; no need to nose in where she hasn't been invited, at least more than fortune-telling does by default.

She draws. A man clutches ten sticks, bundled and stood upright.]

The Ten of Wands. You have overcome so much. It took great sacrifice, but a reward is imminent. But you remain a person with great responsibilities on your shoulders, which you must maintain. Hmm! What do you think, friend?

[ornitiers]

Ten of Wands? Oh. Well, that's....not inaccurate. But what do you mean by a reward?

[He's figuring the rest makes sense enough. But he isn't sure what that meant. Except that it might refer to that conversation with Aurora. That he would not have to worry about dying. At least, not from his time running out.]
