[ 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.

Plus, they're fun!

[ His expression becomes a little serious here. ]

... 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.

Tarot card readings?

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.

Ah, I know about them. I did not expected any readings in this place.

[ Ryoji blinks. ]

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

Tarot, huh? Never tried it myself. Sounds kinda neat. Why not?

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

[Translation: you are in for some sudden parenting.]

That isn't necessary! But sure.

[ ... He's going to have to clean up all this evidence of his inhumanity, isn't he sob-- ]

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

Eh, I'm not really familiar with different spreads and stuff... So I guess you can just go wild?

Where should we meet up?

[ He looks thoughtful for a moment. ]

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!

[ He smiles. ]

Oh, and I didn't get your name!

What are tarot cards?

Reply

derparcana September 2 2011, 14:04:36 UTC
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.

[ He smiles a little ambiguously. ]

That depends on what you're seeking, of course... but the Arcana can answer.

Sounds like a bunch of hocus-pocus for wigglers.

[Which is not to say he isn't intrigued...]

Only if you think it is.

[ Vague as hell and infuriating answer? YEP. ]

Depends, really. You can either pass or not! I don't really mind.

Good to have you back.

Tarot card readings, huh? That sounds interesting.

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.

[ A nod! ]

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.

Severing you?

[A quirk of the eyebrow.]

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

Reply

[Video] derparcana September 2 2011, 23:46:11 UTC
Yeah, actually, I think I would've died if I could have. It's... probably a good thing I can't.

[ Oh well. Handwave goes here. ]

Sure! Do you want a basic reading, or did you have any questions you want answered instead?
