[In this corner of the mess hall, there's a girl sitting and shuffling a deck of ordinary playing cards.]

I'm bored. Who wants their fortune told?

((eta: whoops, dropping for the night! ping me tomorrow if you wanna pick up.))

... a fortune-teller?

[ownshissword]

Not by trade! It's just a game.

[ridestherider]

I had wondered how someone could do that with just a plain deck of cards.

[ownshissword]

Well, my sister actually believes in it, but she's kind of ... you know. [Makes a twirly gesture around the side of her head to indicate CRAZY.]

[areplicatedhope]

Does that even work?

[ownshissword]

It's a game. My sister taught it to me! Well, she actually believes in it, but ...

[areplicatedhope]

It doesn't predict the future.

[ownshissword]

Well, you never know! This IS Camp!

[notmakingout]

Oh, me, me!

[ownshissword]

Okay! First you have to ask your question. Make it something general, not yes-or-no, got it?

[notmakingout]

What romance is there for me in the future?

[ownshissword]

[Shuffles... and produces the Jack of diamonds!]

... Huh. A youth, possibly in uniform. [Draws the next card] Nine of hearts! Your wish will be fulfilled!

Well, I guess that answers that! Know any pretty young ladies in uniform?

[pharmanoncon]

Now, that sounds interesting.

[ownshissword]

It's a way to pass the time.

[pharmanoncon]

It certainly is.

[ownshissword]

So! Got any questions you're just burning to know the answer to?

[mywifeaneva]

... don't you need special cards for that?

[ownshissword]

Nope! You can do it with ordinary cards too. There's just more memorisation involved.

[mywifeaneva]

...

Will it still work if I don't believe in it?

[ownshissword]

Only one way to find out!
