· TO EVERYONE ·

[carmesi]

Several moons ago when we first headed into Nocwich, there was a fortune teller named Lady Elin. I'm sure many of us went to her tent to have our fortunes read. Perhaps you've forgotten what it was she said. I know divination is met with a lot of skepticism.

Would you be willing to share your fortune with me, if you remember it? I'd like to know if it relates to anything in your life, whether it be from your time before Abraxas or since being summoned.

[and because you cannot expect something without putting yourself on the line...]

She would say "I see" and "you hold a tie to". For me, it was 'many lost souls under the night sky' and 'old lands that find new roots'. It makes me think of my home country. Many hundreds of thousands died because of the war waged in it. The country no longer exists.

I don't want to bore you with more details, but that is my basic interpretation of it.

Even if it could be pretty personal, thank you for reading this. I'm just being curious. If you want to talk privately, my name is Wanda.

Thank you for sharing that, Inej.
You think her fortune was only that, relating to your life before Abraxas? Or have you noticed similarities to circumstances since you were summoned?

[carmesi]

Perhaps.

[even if the one fortune she keeps thinking of is one that is... well, very literal. she's trying to find out if there are any others.]

Do you find that the one you got is vague?

[carmesi]

I certainly don't see it as a bad thing, but maybe I just find it hard to believe that it could become a reality in the near future. Perhaps it is to say that my people are to put roots down in the other countries they've found asylum in.

[carmesi]

Jayce says he got 'hidden pages'. It's probably nothing, but it's—kismetic, almost. Both of you getting something about pages.

I wonder if we'll see Lady Elin again.

[chosenfordarkness]

What if it's talking about your people here?

I don't know how much stock I put into their fortunes. I've had enough of people dictating my life.

[catholica]

I'm not the one making pacts.

( that's u. )

I don't know, actually. Could be physical. My hands are still messed up.

[techmaturgy]

Well, given the empty seat in Jayce's fortune, it seems that fates can be changed. If you interpret the reading fairly literally, of course.

Also, we're scholars. I imagine we have a higher chance of receiving book-related imagery than others.

[sorser]

Ever consider why (you think) I'm so, so nosy?

[shadowthief]

You're welcome.

Perhaps. It's hard to say. Maybe, if it does apply to anything here, it simply has not yet come to pass.

[nadine_he_loves]

I do remember that. It stuck out because it was weird. The fortune, I mean.

Mine was something about dancing souls and roses...I wrote it down, let me find it.

Okay, here we go. Lost souls trapped in an eternal dance, a field of roses buried under thorns.

It...sort of relates to me in a way I understand? I mean I can MAKE it fit if I really go big on symbolism. But I've never really been solid on how prophecy and divination works.

I believe in them, though.

"I see a reverent crowd, wide-eyed and eager. You hold a tie to foundations built by the hands of the forsaken."

I haven't forgotten but I also haven't put... much thought into it.

I'm not very versed in religious texts or anything, but would the last part be similar to the concept of 'hell'?
Do you feel that any of that represents something you've experienced at any point?

[carmesi]

I wonder why 'strong magicks' and 'hidden pages' were mentioned together.

[things worth contemplating. a discovery, perhaps?]

Considering magic is not great used in the Cities, right?

[carmesi]

Like the stone flower.
Perhaps you have fulfilled your calling.

But now I'm curious about your special armor.

[carmesi]

You can be quite sacrifice-minded towards yourself, on the other hand.

[she will have to pay extra attention to the details of matt's fortune for him, if nothing else. it'd be hard for him to see a withering tree, anyway.]

I asked Nadine to check on you.

[hextechhead]

They use New Magic a great deal, that's Academic Magic mixed with technology, similar to what we did in Piltover before coming here. Hextech was extremely powerful. If it's duplicated here, it would be too.

[itookashot]

Actually, you would be the perfect person to show it to. We'll have to meet up in Nocwich next chance we get.

[carmesi]

Probably some deeply-rooted anxiety.

[stop asking her questions she wants to give smartass answers to!]

But I could probably say that you want to control everything. You don't trust others might do a good job at 'fixing' whatever the problem is. I could see into your mind easily back then, Stephen.

['back then' being when they weren't quite on the same side.]

I know about the frozen lake.

I know that looking for something might make it more likely to happen, so I don't want to push people into thinking their divinations will come true through any small interpretation of them.

You were initially summoned to Solvunn, weren't you?

[funbreaker]

That which people turn to when the light dims. That could be any number of things, couldn't it?

[carmesi]

We all know our stay in Abraxas is hardly permanent. Long-lasting, sure, but...

[how many have left without a word?]

Would you humor me if you remember what you got, at least?

private.

[vixening]

She saw dying embers hungry for kindling.
I apparently am meant to hold a tie to doors that cannot be closed once opened.

There are any number of things it could be tied to, here or back in my Sphere, so I hardly found it helpful.

[chosenfordarkness]

Truthfully, I wouldn't mind if it were. I'm rather comfortable here.

She said she saw a flame between two walls of stone. And that I hold a tie to bridges between unstable ground.

[carmesi]

[she just liked the happy coincidence...]

Would you try speaking to Lady Elin again should you have the chance?

[carmesi]

Would you explain it to me? If you don't mind. Either publicly or privately.
