There are seven tarot cards seated around a table

Demeter eyes them all warily as she holds herself with all her pride and dignity, she is after all one of another group of twelve,

"If the Fates walk in next, I think I may have to leave."

[fortunes_phase]

"Fates are too busy," Moon murmurs. "We're not."

She looks around the table.

"Are we?"

[bright_daughter]

Star, with long loops of golden-white curls, who hadn't looked up yet at all, hummed softly Twinkle Twinkle Little Star while placing down dominoes before her crosses legs.

[song_tra_bong]

"Seems like a 'no' to me."

She smiles at Demeter. "Care to sit?"

[destroy_restart]

Tower smiles at Demeter, slow and sweet, eyes dark and sticky like molasses; he remembers good times making an old eyesore of a former factory come down, and covering it with greenery...

"Hello, gorgeous," he says to Demeter, winking.

[wheatencrown]

Demeter's hands are still dirt covered but she offers one to Moon as she sits and gives Tower a lazy smile,

"Then I will sit. Is there an occasion that brings you all together?"

[fortunes_phase]

Moon accepts Demeter's hand with a small, sad smile.

"The wolf. The king. The moon. The choice. All swirling and muddying the waters. Used to be clear, but not anymore."

[bright_daughter]

"Not anymore, and not yet. We're coming, coming, coming-" Star was tapping the tops of dominoes in a string already set.

She looked up with a dazzling smile.

"We'll be together soon. In the big room. Everyone."

[ruinous_fortune]

He can't help but smile at Star.

"Yeah. Family reunion, huh, little bit?"

[bright_daughter]

Star laughed, easily, and tossed a domino at her brother. It's black and red with silver shot through it.

"You might remember how to smile."

[wheatencrown]

"Few things are clear especially the future and a smile would look good on you, dear."

[destroy_restart]

"Go ahead and tickle him!" Tower suggests, giving an impish grin with which he suddenly looks a lot younger.

[ruinous_fortune]

"I don't think so, you ass," Ruin warns. "Only one person is allowed to tickle me, and she doesn't exercise that privilege in public."

His eyes go to Mary Anne for a moment, offering her a wink.

"Besides, not much to smile about lately."

[bright_daughter]

Star raised her eyebrows, amusement there even as she set her temple into her hand looking down at her brother -- the convenience of being above the table.

"Could be worse. You would know."

[wheatencrown]

"At least one person knows how to make him smile though that does seem too few. Its Spring and things are growing so there is hope even though its harder for Jason to find."

[fortunes_phase]

"The wolf can't see the path."

She shakes her head.

"Won't see the path."
