Good evening.

( She bows her head in greeting and smiles shyly, trying to not look too nervous. You would think she'd be used to this sort of thing by now but she isn't. )

Sorry to ask such a strange question b-but uhm... is anyone interested in fortune telling? My temple has a large assortment of celestial charts and divining cards and... well, I've been wanting to practice. Hehe...

B-but it might be a little difficult to use those here so...! ( She looks down at her hands, ) I was thinking we could try something a little easier?

( And she holds up a paper fortune teller. The top folds have four pictures on them: A tiger, a tortoise, a bird, and a dragon. )

Please, pick one.


( ooc: It's implied that Sakura has some premonition skills because she's a priestess but she herself isn't aware of it and isn't able to tap into it actively! Sakura's paper fortune teller will be asking about some popular/general areas. You'll be prompted in a tag depending on what your character chooses and you can tell me if you they'll have good or bad luck in the future. It's a paper fortune teller! It's going to be general and vague so what are you really expecting??? You can also prompt Sakura to try using her charts/cards for something a little more in depth and we can work that out on plurk at eski or PM! Otherwise, she can totally just get things wrong... she's a teenaged girl having fun with horoscopes and fortune tellers.)

[Leo chuckles.]

Gods, Elise loves those silly little paper fortune tellers. You canalways tell when she's mad at you because she'll give you a terrible and hilariously specific fortune. And then try to get someone to carry out the prank.

[festal]

Oh, we used to tell each other's fortunes all of the time...!

( She laughs a little to herself, definitely embarrassed. She won't tell what they used to talk about though. (romance, what else are they going to talk about at their age?). )

But a priestess never fixes fortunes, e-even if they're bad... so you don't have to worry, Leo. Or maybe you should...

[ Ryoma has never been a teenage girl, but there is a certain level of superstition in him. Besides, it doesn't hurt to have fun, does it?

Not remembering responsibilities is great. ]

May I see what the dragon holds for me?

[festal]

( Of course he'd pick the dragon. She nods and begins to open and close the fortuneteller, counting out each stroke that would make up the character and stopping on the next step, )

Pick again, please.

( There are four numbers: 4, 7, 10, 12! )

And think of something you want to know about. It can be..... anything like money or personal growth or l-love... But don't tell me! You need to keep it a secret.

[unlucky7]

[With how things have gone over the last week, any kind of pick-me-up or sign of good fortune is welcome.]

Can I start with bird, please?

[festal]

Of course.

( She nods and begins to count out the strokes that make up the character for the phoenix. Once finished, she holds out the fortune teller for Ginia to see. There are now numbers to choose from: 4, 7, 10, and 12. )

Think of something you want to know. It... it can be something like the condition of your health or those around you or how your relationships will be... ( Or personal growth or how their duties at their temple will go or anything broad (or specific). ) And pick a number.

( Depending on her wish, will Ginia have good or bad luck in her future? Or is she just uncertain.... )

[galrarm]

[ He greets her with a smile and a little wave. ]

This is a pretty neat idea. Let's start with a tiger.

[festal]

( Oh, it's someone she doesn't know and she bows her head in a small greeting. This sure is some first impression and she blushes. )

A-alright. ( She looks down at her fortuneteller and begins to count out the turns. When she finishes, she turns the fortune teller to the screen to show him a set of numbers: 4, 7, 10, and 12. ) First, think of something you want to know about... like if your heavenly duties or your relationships with those around you... or anything really. ( Romance, money, personal growth! The world is your oyster. ) And then, pick a number, please.

( Depending on what he has in mind, he'll have a chance to get good or bad luck soon. What does fate have in store for Shiro today? )

[rockthemonkey]

I wanna play! I want the bird!

[He doesn’t really get fortune telling, but it sounds like fun! And it can’t be bad if Sakura is doing it.]

[festal]

( She smiles because Goku's enthusiasm is really contagious... )

Hehe. Okay...! ( And she keeps the fortune teller facing the screen, counting out each of the the strokes for the character. There are now some numbers to choose from: 4, 9, 12 and 24. ) Uhm, please, think of something you want to know about. Most people wonder about their heath or relationships o-or if they'll accomplish their future goals...

( But there are plenty of other things Goku can think about! Once he picks a wish and a number, she'll see if he has good or bad luck. )

[Action]

[replicatedform]

[While he doesn't believe in fortune telling, he have seen how much they can lift a person's mood. Or drag it down, in case of a bad reading. He could ask her over the network. Or he could just find her in person.

Yamanbagiri enters the room Sakura's in, carrying a tray of tea for two. Placing it on top of the table, he looks at her.]

How's the fortune telling going?

[festal]

Yamanbagiri-san!

( She smiles when he comes and sets aside her fortune teller for now. It's getting a little worn from use but it's fine. )

Good, I think. It's... it's mostly just for fun, anyway. ( Though, she hopes everyone who received good luck finds it in the end. ) Thank you.

( For the tea. She'll even reach to drink some of it. When she lowers the cup, she gives Yamanbagiri a curious glance and ask, )

Uhm... would you like to try?

[futhark]

You're an oracle? [ Well one in training, but hey, it's a thing. And he is superstitious enough to believe it. His whole life was ruled by one prophecy ]

That's a tough responsibility to bear. [ No pressure ] Hmm... but practice is important. I cannot possibly refuse such request- so what should I do? I pick a bird.

[[ ooc: maybe some good luck for once. there was a disaster after disaster recently, and some looming in the future. But he's going to find out some interesting things on his future trip to Ireland, he doesn't yet know he is going to have. I'm totes fine with the fortune telling prompting him into doing it too ]]

[festal]

Oh, no, n-nothing like that! ( She'd never meant to pass herself off as an oracle or a proper seer. ) I'm... I'm just a priestess in my country.

( Though, it is said that the priests and shrine maidens in Hoshido enjoy divine gifts due to their closeness with the gods... But she's too humble to believe the gods would grace her with something as important as prophecy. Oh, dear, she's a little self conscious now and she nods nervously as she begins to count out the folds to match the stroke order for the phoenix. Turning to face the fortune teller to him again, she reveals a set of numbers: 4, 7, 10, 12. )

And now... You think of what you want to know. Most people think about relationships or what else the future might have in store but... if there's anything else, that's fine. Oh, but don't tell me! If you say it out loud, it loses it's power. And then.... you pick a number.

[Fortune telling... how nostalgic.]

One of my good friends back home does fortune telling with tarot cards. It's been a while since I've gotten to see anything like this in action, so let's go with... tortoise!

[festal]

Really?

( Fortune telling is most fun when it's with friends. It's both not serious but completely serious! But she smiles and begins to count out the turns for the tortoise, )

Now.... think of something you want to know about. ( Romance, money, health, whatever!!! ) And pick a number.

( She'll show the numbers to her: 4, 7, 10, and 12! The number she picks will determine if she gets good or bad luck. )

[phantomtrick]

I choose...the tiger.

[Fortune telling? It sounds interesting. Ren picks the tiger on the whim and there's no real special meaning behind it.]

What's it got?

[Anything interesting behind door number 1? Admittedly, he's curious of what the result might be.]

[festal]

( A stranger! Well, she hadn't said this was something just for her friends. But the pressure feels more real when she's telling a stranger's fortune. The tiger? She counts out the turns and holds out the fortuneteller for him to see. There are numbers: 4, 9, 12, and 24. )

Well... you have to think of what you want to know first. It can be anything. ( Fortune, relationships, personal growth, or more. ) O-oh, but don't tell me! It loses power if you tell.

And then.... you pick a number.

( Whatever Ren picks, there's the option for good or bad luck. How's the future looking for him? )

[Have a giggling girl looking much amused.]

Oooh! This sounds like so much fun. Do you do fortunes for someone you just met?

[festal]

A-a priestess never turns anyone away...!

( How was that? She tried to be confident... she tried to make a joke... she still sounded a little uncertain but an attempt was definitely made. But go ahead and choose!!! )

TURTLE

I'M GONNA GO WITH THE TURTLE

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY

TURTLE TURTLE TURTLE

COME ON, TURTLE

[festal]

( HE'S SO ENTHUSIASTIC... how very like him! Even if it's only through text, she can't help but let out a small, delighted sort of laugh, )

Of course! ( And she'll begin to count out the turns in order of the strokes for the character, "turtle," ) Now... think of something you want to know about. Love, friendship, personal success, money... a-anything at all.

And choose a number, please.

( 4, 9, 12, and 24. He'll have a chance to get good or bad luck depending on his number. How's he feeling? )

[abgrund]

I'll pick the bird

[festal]

Good luck, Ain-san.

( She bows her head in greeting and begins to count the turns for the phoenix character. When she finishes, )

Now... think about what you want to know about. R-romance, friendship, personal success, or anything at all... ( Revealing the fortune teller to show the numbers: 4, 9, 12, and 24. ) Don't tell me what you're thinking about a-and choose a number, please.

[wadoichimonji]

This seems interesting.

[Zoro smirks, and thinks for a moment.]

LEt's go with the tiger.

[festal]

( A very Zoro-like choice... She nods and begins to count out the strokes for "tiger," )

Now, think of what you want to know about. M-most people back home think about romance or money but... growth is popular too. ( Among other things!! And she'll turn the fortune teller to him, revealing a set of numbers: 4, 9, 12 and 24. ) Don't tell me what you're thinking but please, choose a number for me.

[wildguardian]

[Oh, this is cute.]

-- Well, I just have to go with the dragon.

[festal]

( Even strangers are interested... well, luck is universal! She gives him a shy smile and nods, counting out the turns for dragon, )

N-now, think of what you want to ask for... Most people ask for love or money but uhm... anything is okay, really. Just don't tell me b-because it makes your wish weaker!

( He can ask for anything! )

Pick a number, please.

( HOlding the fortune out to him. He'll see some numbers: 4, 7, 10, and 12! Depending on what he chooses, he'll get good or bad luck! )

Video

[roundtablerebel]

Tigers are really cool but a dragon would probably eat a tiger, right?

[ Might be missing the point a little bit... ]

Hnn... I'll pick the dragon!

[festal]

Uhm, well... it's a rather big tiger, I think...

( The tiger is, after all, a god too. But she nods, counting out the turns for the dragon sign and holding up her fortune teller, )

Choose a number, please. ( 4, 7, 10, or 12! ) A-and think of what you want to know. Most people ask for love or money b-but health and personal growth are good wishes too...! ( There are a bunch of options out there. But quickly, she adds, ) But don't tell me what it is! It ruins the magic...!

( Depending on what is chosen, she'll get good or bad luck )

[shalamayne]

[ It isn't something Varian is big into, but the person offering seems earnest enough. It'll more than likely be good luck, even if Varian doesn't think as much.]

Tiger.

[festal]

( Who is this intimidating man and why is he asking so seriously. )

Y-yes...!

( Even so, she won't back away from helping someone understand their fortune. A priestess helps everyone! Counting out the turns, she holds the fortune teller to him to reveal a set of numbers on the screen: 4, 9, 12 and 24 )

Please, choose a number. A-and think of something you want to know. ( A beat, ) But don't tell me! It'll ruin the magic. ( Explaining quickly, ) M-most people ask for money o-or love but if there's anything else... please, feel free.

( Friendship, business, money, travel, personal growth... the options are limitless! Also, depending ont he number he picks, he'll get good or bad luck. )

video!

[incinerators]

[ this seems very interesting. pyrrha's intrigued, and she greets the girl with a gentle smile. ]

I'd like to pick the dragon.

[festal]

( She's surprised that so many people are interested. She was worried this might seem childish but... it seems like others are having fun! Even if this girl is a stranger, her smile is enough to put her to ease some what and Sakura manages a small smile back. )

Alright...!

( And she'll begin to count out the turns for the dragon. Once she finishes, )

Now, please think of a wish o-or anything you want to know. Most people wonder about love or wealth... but there's always health and other goals...! ( Turning the fortune teller towards her, ) And choose a number.

( 4, 9, 12 or 24!

Depending on the number she chooses, she might get good or bad luck! )

[foxrightsactivist]

[Kaden has never seen anything like this... or, at least, that he knows of. But his ears are perking in interest, and behind him on the video feed, flickers of orange mean his tail is waving happily.]

Oh, this sounds like a lot of fun! I'll choose the bird. What does it do?

[festal]

( She smiles, bowing her head just a little bit in a small hello, )

The bird...? It's the vermillion bird of the south. But uhm... a-as for this. ( HOlding up her fortune teller, ) It's just a game to tell the future...

( She counts out the strokes for the bird and holds up the fortune teller to show a set of numbers: 4, 9, 12 and 24. )

N-now, think about anything you want to know like love or wealth.... ( Personal growth, friendships, general, luck, and so on!! ) And choose a number, please.

( Depending on the number he chooses, he'll get good or bad luck. )
