· 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.

[she is not a goddamn artist but she will try something that looks kind of like a shark. his thoughts are super cluttered with hungry thoughts, so he's easy to recognize.]

🦈 ?

[hextechhead]

She said she saw an empty seat in a candle-lit room and that I held a tie to strong magicks and hidden pages. It's not something easy to forget, her energy was very intense.

I worked with magical tech back home and I've learned magic here, so that seemed like an obvious connection. And I kept my research hidden back home for a long time, so that would kind of reference my past, I just don't know what it means for my future.

Something about smoke and blood, and metals and innovation.

[ Only one person has responded to his messages with drawings. Now two!! ]

[catholica]

Broken tree with withering limbs.

( he does remember that and it's not...too off base. )

And that I had a tie to ancient pacts and sacrifice.

( HMM WONDER WHAT THAT IS. )

[sorser]

[Should he respond to this...?

He's conflicted. But he supposes fair is fair.]

I'm going to preface mine with this: it didn't sound promising.

I know. Shocking.

[carmesi]

Was it something along the lines of minding your own business?

[respectfully,]

[sorser]

[Ha ha.]

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

Diviners are highly respected by my people. I have not forgotten Lady Elin's words to me.

She spoke of shuddering planks that hold fast and the deliverance of souls that cannot be quelled. It... feels strange to make assumptions about what I think she saw, the things she felt...

but what it calls to mind for me is the slaver ship, and my goals back home to save others from my fate.

[It is deeply personal, but, even if she hasn't shared a lot of the darker pieces of her past with the other woman, she trusts Wanda.]

[nomnoms]

[ He has two magic friends... ]



[ nom nom bone witch or butterfly lady? ]

[ Where it not for the fact that Urianger has a scholarly interest in this sort of thing, Thancred likely would have forgotten his own fortune. Instead, it is scribbled down in one of many notebooks scattered around their small flat. ]

"I see a figure of mist, bearing a great weapon. You hold a tie to that which people turn to when the light dims."

From what I understand, fortunes like this are hardly what they seem at first glance. That, or they're meant to be vague to allow you to read any meaning you'd like into them.

[ Meaning he's tried not to think too hard on it, and yet his connection to a certain Oracle of Light has occurred to him. ]

[carmesi]

[is this really what she's amounted to?]

The second part could be promising? Putting roots down is never a bad thing.

[she waits a moment for her to stop receiving a plethora of messages (never posting to the summoned network again), before she heads out to find nanaue. he's impossible to miss, as it were, and it takes asking one of the children to know where the big shark man has gone to.]

Nanaue.

[wanda's smiling—]

You're a very good artist.

[techmaturgy]

An open page with many lines uncharted.

[Also something about unknown promise and also danger, but whatever.]

I consider this to be superstition, regardless, but I would be interested in receiving...an updated reading. For the sake of comparison.

[carmesi]

Has nothing that has happened to you in Abraxas related to strong magics or hidden pages, then?

[carmesi]

You are the innovative kind.
Have you been playing around with metals as of late, or before?

[hextechhead]

Nothing that I can think of. Hidden pages maybe for us curing Viktor secretly, but outside of training in magic myself, I wouldn't call anything strong enough to be in a fortune.

[itookashot]

Yes, since coming here it's how I've been training with my abilities. I can turn most things into something else, but metals are particularly helpful. I made special armor for myself and others using it. Innovatively, for sure.

[carmesi]

It goes without saying that you are not allowed to do any pacts.
What does the broken tree with withering limbs refer to? Any ideas?

[carmesi]

Prove that I'm wrong, then.
