The door to the Book Bin opened easily under Roy's hand, and he walked in with the sense of proprietorship that evolves when patrons choose a favorite store. He had the first volume of the recommended serial in hand, and he was fully intending to return it to its shelf when he saw a lanky, dark-haired man sitting in one of the armchairs.

Someone new had arrived, then. More and more people were appearing lately; it was disturbing. But everyone was so different from each other that it made it hard to discern each one's purpose on the island. Their captors apparently had no selection process at all, or one so convoluted that Roy wasn't sure he'd ever unravel it. So now this man...

Roy hesitated. He hadn't intended to say hello, but...

... well, it was never wise to pass up a potential ally.

"Cards?" he inquired by way of greeting, casually stepping close to the chair. "Solitaire, I assume?"

Isaak looked up, eyeing the newcomer. He didn't seem to pose any sort of threat, so the magician relaxed.
"No, I'm sorry."
He held one up; it was easily as big as his hand. "Tarot." A smile played about his mouth, and he gestured for the other to take a seat. "Care to join me? I like to play with these when I don't have a damned clue of what to do with myself." He snorted, laughing at himself. "I don't really believe they have the power to tell fortunes, but they help me make small decisions."

Tl;dr, BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH HI BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH

What? XD col_roy_joseph May 10 2009, 05:37:16 UTC

Cards? Cards helped the man make decisions? Then again, cards weren't so odd, when one thought about it. Some people threw darts, others tossed coins; it didn't make much difference, in the end. People's own desires always found a way to express themselves.

Roy shrugged amicably, dropping gracefully into the chair next to the stranger's. "What decision do you need to ask the cards about today? What book to read? Or maybe where the best place is to buy a pair of pants?" All right, maybe that last part came out a bit snarkily.

He blabs on and on and on. xD armored_mage May 14 2009, 05:33:14 UTC

Isaak smirked, hearing the sarcasm shot at him clearly. He didn't think the other meant any harm by it; it was probably just his nature.

"I asked them of what to do next, for my...plot." The mage slid a cigarillo into his mouth, blowing sweet smoke at the younger man. "They tell me..."
He smiled, sliding a gloved hand through his silken hair; "It's time to move."
