I wasn't sure what lead me to this place, really. Fortune-telling was something I wasn't particularly a firm "believer" in. Right now, however, I was willing to give it a shot.

Maybe it was the fact that I hadn't had much human contact since I'd arrived in this place... whatever it was. I still needed some answers. I had already learned quite a bit by speaking with some of the locals, but it had yet to fully sink in.

Plainly put... I was definitely lost. And Jesus wasn't showing me any clues. I was feeling a little hopeless and desperate. I'd been walking for days. It had taken me a while before ending up in this city-like area, and I'd ignored the Fortune-telling signs at first. But now...

Now I was standing in front of an older-looking mansion. This was the place, right? This is where I'd been told to go, anyway. Whether or not a Fortune-teller could actually help me was still quite left to be seen. I still had my doubts. But at this point, I was willing to give it a shot. Hell, everything else about this place seemed unreal. Why not?

Deciding that maybe knocking on a door to a mansion was probably useless, I opted instead to give it a tug. Maybe there was some sort of directory inside or something. Or maybe Mr. Smartypants Fortune-teller magically knew I was coming and would be right there to welcome me by name. That would certainly open my mind a little more to this dumb decision.

Here goes nothing.

[Well she is standing at the top of the staircase when you come in...]

Welcome to the Fortune Telling House.

[cloudedjudgemnt]

[Well... considering that it was a large building that people were being invited into, he supposed he shouldn't be too surprised that someone was waiting to greet customers.]

Thank you. I've never been to a place like this before... Do I need to make an appointment?

[fromlabyrinth]

No. Come in.

[She walks down the stairs and towards a door at the side of the room.] Follow me.

[cloudedjudgemnt]

[Easy enough. He waited for her at the bottom of the stairs and followed her into the room.]

I apologize, I hope you don't find me difficult. I'm not even really sure what kind of questions to ask. I've never had my fortune told or anything like that.

[fromlabyrinth]

Ask your heart what it desires most.

[She takes a seat at her fortune-telling table. The room is dark save for a single light above the table.]

[cloudedjudgemnt]

[He gives a deep sigh and sits at the table across from her. How to go about this?]

Well... I guess what I'd really like to know is if everything went... 'well' back home. I was in the middle of finishing something big... I don't know if it worked. I'm sorry, I'm being vague. Do you need me to clarify a bit more?

[fromlabyrinth]

No. Let us consult the fates now.

[She waves her hands over the crystal ball. It glows a pale blue in response.]

... I see. Your past was fraught with danger... and your future even more so.

[cloudedjudgemnt]

Hnn. Yeah, I guess that's true. But, my future? You mean here in this place? I was told this is a different 'world' from... where I'm from. This place is dangerous?

[fromlabyrinth]

Hard to say... this world of Somarium does have many perils. Particularly on the night of a full moon.

[cloudedjudgemnt]

[He sighs, frowning a little.]

Ah. Well, that's just great.

What about Matt? Is he alright? ...Did he make it?

[fromlabyrinth]

Let us see. [She looks into her crystal ball once more.]

... your friend has suffered much. But you will see him again.

[cloudedjudgemnt]

[He blinked at this news, perking up quite a bit. He'd see him again? That meant he was alive.]

Oh, thank God. I thought he was going to die...

Well, I can't thank you enough for that inform- wait. I'll see him again?! But, I thought - I mean, I heard that we're stuck in this place? How will I-? Am I... going home?

[He sounds a little more excited and hopeful than he'd meant to let on.]

[fromlabyrinth]

They say that the people here will return home when the time is right...

When your time is though, I cannot say. I am sorry.
