· 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.

[Ha ha.]

Well. If you don't want to know, that's fine by me.

Prove that I'm wrong, then.

[sorser]

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

[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.

[Oh.

Really? Here? Where everyone can see everyone else’s mind messages flitting around, clear as day?

Her one-off barb was quick to transform into something he perceived as a little more cutting, wasn’t it? It feels unwarranted. He can take a hint.

A long delay.]

I was going to say that it’s because I actually care about what happens to you, Wanda.

But I guess that’s shocking, too.

Let me know if you learn anything interesting from the rest of these replies.

[He’s dipping ouuuttttt, bye, they’re not talking about any lakes.]

[oh, so stephen does have a patience threshold... woops.]
