Hi, uh. You don't know me, but I'm Tabby's room mate Bart and she's told me a lot about you, and.... I was wondering if you could draw one for me?

[tm_magik]

It is nice to properly meet you, Bart.

King of Cups. Feelings, mostly repressed. You should channel your energy better.
Infidelity.

[nokidflash]

You too, Illyana.

Huh. I... huh. Thanks.

[tm_magik]

You naughty boy!

[nokidflash]

What?? I'm not unfaithful! I mean, you have to do something to be unfaithful, right? Like. Someone! I haven't done anyone!

Okay, that sounded awful and I've only just met you. I promise I'm not awful.

I kill birds to read their entrails. Do you really think I will think you are a bad person because you think about cheating on your girlfriend?

I bet I know who with. XD

[nokidflash]

Haruspicy! I knew you didn't just randomly kill birds! That's what I said to Tabby, anyway, when she mentioned it...

Killing birds to read entrails serves a purpose. Cheating on my girlfriend just hurts people. So you could think I'm a bad person. I'd understand why.

You do? Am I super obvious, or did an intestine tell you?

[tm_magik]

...you know what it is called! :D

I rarely think anyone is bad. I know bad.

Super obvious, but if it helps your pride you can think it is because I am a witch.

[nokidflash]

I do! I read a library once. There was actually a whole book on ancient divination rituals, so there was a chapter on haruspicy. Plus, you know, the encyclopedia had it too.

Oh. Yeah. Well, thanks for not thinking I'm bad.

I wish it did. :/ She knows too, doesn't she? Am I bugging you yet? I know you don't even know me.

[tm_magik]

It works well!

I could show you bad.

If she knows, she is lying to herself about it so she does not have to deal with it. Sally knows too, I think, and you already annoyed HER over Julian. :P
I do not mind. I do this all the time. At least you are not asking for a love potion.

[nokidflash]

I've never tried it, but I'll take your word for it. :)

No, that's okay. I've seen bad before. I didn't really like it.

That's sort of what I thought. I've made a mess of things, I think. I don't know how to fix it. And Sally... I did that wrong, but why I said it was right. I wish I'd done it the right way so she didn't have an excuse to ignore it, but I can't change that. I'm trying to be a grown up, but it's not working very well.

No way. I want someone to love me for me, not because of chemistry or magic or whatever it is.

[tm_magik]

Hee! XD

Evil has an attraction.

In my personal experience, the more you try to 'fix' things, the more you wreck everything. I think perhaps you just have to accept things as what they are.

Julian is a boy. He will either grow up and they will be happy, or he will smack her and she will leave. People must find their own way.

Everyone says that.

[nokidflash]

I guess. I once went to an alternate future where I was... not a nice guy. I don't think I'm very attracted to it any more.

Yeah, I'm learning that lesson now. Hopefully it'll stick.

I don't know if I believe that. We can't just let everyone do what they want to all of the time, and hope it all works out.

Does that make it less true?

[tm_magik]

I go to lots of alternate futures.

I hope so too.

Well. No. I suppose not. But people do not like to listen.

Yes.

[nokidflash]

On purpose?

No. I don't like to listen either. Like I said, I'm trying to be a grown up. It's hard.

Why? Because it's what we think we're supposed to say? I wouldn't give her a love potion, I really wouldn't. I'd spend the rest of my life wondering what's true and what's not, and I'd hate it.

[tm_magik]

Not at first. And then because I was looking for someone.

I am not sure a grown up is something you decide to be.

That would really depend on what sort of potion, hee.
