Tarot memory share [Tsuchigumo]

The room you enter this time is an ostentatious fortune tellers tent. Colourful silks drape the walls with intricate golden constellations embroidered on the ceiling. Various crystals, candles, magic 8 balls, and other superstitious sundries are scattered throughout the tent.

In the centre of the room is a table with ten chairs around it, and three cards laid out for you:

PRIESTESS, TEMPERANCE, DEVIL

[ RULES | TURN-IN ]

Well. Our best bet is to offer something that people will know it's from us.

Except the guy who knows you best is already on our team. Who else might recognize your life?

My jester disappeared awhile ago. Then followed the only other friend I've ever made.

However... if either Kannavi or I offer a memory with details on the sea of sand, there would be a few that should recognize it.

Okay. That's a good starting point.

If my memory involves spiders, then that's probably a dead giveaway for me.

Good to know.

The only dealings I had with the church were with the Ekklisía. I suppose if nobody has a better priestess memory, I'll offer one of those. The last time I was brought before them was an exciting time.

[ He's pretty sure he mentioned the sea of sand after he got his fingers shot off. ]

...Define 'exciting'.

I had to talk my way out of an execution.

...

Arguing is my specialty, so I think it went well and I only lost two fingers. But I did spin the church a story they'd believe—about the heavens, the apocalypse, their gods and the angels that may herald kataklysmos.

I was pretty disappointed they believed me so easily, but I think it'd be the most recognizable memory I have.

[hilariously, 'kataklysmos' as a name feels right at home with comic book bullshit

Peers at to see if Orca is indeed missing two fingers?]

That's a little less to do with mysticism and more with bold faced lying.

[ yes!! he has prosthetic metal ones in place of the index and middle finger of one hand.

he also has a prosthetic leg but he sometimes wears boots so. ]

So was everything else in the world. What's one more?

Guess it works, if there's nothing better.

And what are you thinking of?

As tempting as it is to make my father the devil - it'd suit him, too - I'd have to go with my third death.

And the deal I made to come back.

[ third death. damn. ]

Ahaha... a deal with a devil, I'm assuming.

[sometimes, you luck is very, very, very bad]

With a spider totem that lives in whatever approximates as my soul now. But yeah.

Yatagarasu, at least... they'll know what it means.

[ CAN'T RELATE I'M THE GOD OF DEATH ]

It helps that it's Tsuchigumo's motif, too. You do seem like a good choice for this.

Yeah, I'm sure that was someone's idea of a hilarious joke.

[ it's a good joke. a great joke, even. ]

But it would be quite strange, you being anywhere else, wouldn't it?

[...Huffs.]

No one else would take me.

[ with gentle amusement in his voice, ]

I'm glad to know I'm in the right place after all.

The team for outcasts and freaks? Yeah... Kannavi's said similar when he arrived.

I tend to keep those types closer to me. Kannavi, Liontari, Itia—

I probably shouldn't call my wife a freak, though.

Not typically the kind of thing a loving husband would say.

Not unless I wanted to see her angry expression.

Sounds like married life, all right...
