[ HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW, SOLLUX. Ryoji holds up a box of cards, and takes them out. ]
Tarot cards are tools for answering questions about the past, present, and future. They're guides, of sorts. Humans have been going back to the deck for a very long time, now. Each card has significance and a meaning, and... well, some say it's like telling people their fortunes, but it's more like answering things you want to know.
... No. Tarot are a medium. Sure, you can use them for fun, but they're a medium. Like I said, humans have been using them for a very long time. In fact, I explained it to some of you guys earlier--I'm willing to bet each of you have an individual card that defines you most.
Tarot are like that.
Some would call the deck guides. ... I guess it depends on what you believe.
Man, you're human, and you don't know Tarot? You guys are going to worry me! I thought EVERYONE had this silly image of some crossdressing dude overcharging people using Tarot cards and a crystal ball to predict the future...
[ He sighs dramatically. Junpei is a terrible influence on him yeah. ]
Anyway, Tarot cards are used to answer questions. Each card has a meaning, particularly the major Arcana... there are different spreads where the querant asks questions and the deck answers them! It's a little more complicated than that, but that's the basics.
The Plaza's kind of full of newbies... do you know where the Volo dorms are located at? There's a pretty nice paved area there, actually, I can do your reading in person if you want!
Tarot cards are a medium for answering questions about things and getting guidance. ... Or they can be the means by which everything before you is laid bare and revealed.

That depends on what you're seeking, of course... but the Arcana can answer.
It'd be nice if this place had brought me back a little cleaner instead of just severing me, but yeah, I guess it's good to be here.

They're kind of my thing! I've been aware of people's Arcana and how their lives match up for a long time now, so I decided it might be fun to give actual readings a try.

Well, actual tarot is kinda rare, y'know? But I sort of... dabble in that kind of thing, I guess.

You can do a reading for me, and I can bring you some snacks and stuff as 'payment'.

Is there any kind of particular spread you're interested in? I can do particular ones if you want a question answered, or something!

That's kidn of cool, actually. Want to give me a try?

[ Oh well. Handwave goes here. ]
Sure! Do you want a basic reading, or did you have any questions you want answered instead?
