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 ]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

Please submit your anonymised memories here, and note which card they are for by Wednesday 15th 4pm GMT/8am PST/11am EST.

Devil, huh...

I can't even count how many memories I have that could work for that.

[ there is the STRANGEST look on Fen's face the moment they walk into the tent—a rush of familiarity, of disgust. the icon indicates tears, but he's not actually crying, he just looks... perturbed. he looks like he doesn't know what to feel, and certainly not how to arrange it on his features.

in particular, his gaze levels towards the cards laid out on the table. bristled, a bit like a cat that's seen something it wants nothing to do with. ]

Come on.

[Kaine, meanwhile, is more than characteristically morose.

He misses Uriel. He even misses Cassander, as infuriating as he was.]

...What's wrong?

[ there is certainly a sense of melancholy in the air lately, huh? and Fen is backing up kind of against Kaine. don't want within ten feet of that table, sir ]

I don't wanna do this again.

Sharing memories?

[Or is it...? He looks at the table, the thing Fen seems to be so scared of. Steadies him with hands on his shoulders.]

I don't mind leaving it to you, as unfortunate as it sounds to do so.

Admittedly, I do not know much about the meaning behind these.

[ he could.. provide literal examples of priests........... he guesses... it wouldn't be a very interesting memory though... ]

Dunno, I was never much for the mystic crap.

Never was very temperate either.

[ He's laughing about that. ]

I think it's interesting, but even in the restricted libraries I've accessed, information from the past has been lost. It would be a bit of a reach to call myself temperate, too. I don't have a lot of self-restraint.

[ like.

there's a joke here.

but nobody is going to get it because Orca is not going to offer it.

hm. ]

[ he's just tense. little hitched breath when Kaine touches him ]

Nothing good ever comes of these things. These readings.

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.

[hnghh he's so bad at comforting touches??? noooo he still has to try though]

You don't have to go near them, then. We'll take care of this one.

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.

...

[ flaws: he likes keeping secrets, and won't reveal them to anyone

a flash of vibrant green as he looks at Kaine from the corner of his eyes ]

I know it's not like before.

[ but it's a touch uncertain—because is it? being trapped in another realm, against his will, by a tyrant who forces their playthings to dance for them? ]

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?
