I am sure that many of you have noticed the strange effects the mysterious fog is having on everyone... I believe it best to stay inside and, if possible, away from all doors and windows. [ for what sebastian hopes are obvious reasons. ] If you happen to be in Traverse Town or by my Bakery please let me know immediately. I have created something of a safe haven in its basement and there is still plenty of room left. [ looks aside as his tone drops to that of a whisper. ] ...let's hope it leaves as swiftly as it came.

( ooc | ** ammended ** you can reply to the feed as normal, but for the action bit i'd like you to assume that sebastian, or somebody else, has let your character inside and lead them into the basement. NO NEED TO REPLY TO THE INTRO BIT ANYMORE. from there you may do as you please. threadhop and threadjack to your heart's content. feel free to also post new comments ( with headings! ) about what you character is doing or what your character would like to do. think of this like a party log, ...just with the aforementioned tweak. )

Chinese Fortune Sticks

[wieldstheglaive]

I...

[Hotaru spoke shyly but she was trying to be loud enough to be heard by the people in the cellar.]

I found this game. Would anyone like to have their fortune told?

[sinfullysublime]

[ a small smile splits his face as he steps over. ] Fortunes? [ oh. this could be interesting. ] I wouldn't mind having mine told if, of course, you're willing, ...

[wieldstheglaive]

You just come up with a question, shake the sticks until one falls out and then we look up the fortune's number in the book. Each stick has a different number that corresponds to a reading.

[sinfullysublime]

It sounds simple enough. [ let's give it a shot. he's curious to see how the sticks will respond. ] ...will this be worth it in the end... [ for a moment his gaze drops to his hand. he's looking past the fabric, however, and to the seal. this should be interesting. sebastian's going to smirk as he shakes the sticks. ]

[no_souls_here]

[dkofjkdfshgkjdshfgkjhdskfjh you're asking about THAT? Ciel paled slightly but kept silent]

[wieldstheglaive]

[Will this be worth it in the end was a very strange question to her, but as long as it made sense to him and the fortune sticks. ]

54. Like a reflection in the water, your safety is not certain. you should take precautions against possible dangers, and not embark on any risky endeavors. In doing business, you will meet with many obstructions, and it is not a good time to put new plans into effect. Generally, things are likely to turn against you unless you keep tight control. On the positive side you should recover from illness easily, and people missing from your life are likely to return soon.

It sounds like you should be careful Mr. Sebastian.

[applejackd]

[ blink blink. ] ...ya'll can tell fortunes? [ that's awesome! aj is reminded of zecora. she bets that zebra could do this sort'a thing too. plops down beside hotaru. ] Is there anything special I need to do?

[wieldstheglaive]

Sometimes it works better than other times. But, it is usually fun.

[Hotaru tells AJ pretty much the same thing she told Sebastian. ]

Nothing really special, you just need to ask a question.

[applejackd]

It sounds like it could be fun. Let's see. I need to think of a good question fer 'em. [ takes a moment to think and then! ] Do ya'll think that I'll be able to make it here. Like, well, like back home...? [ and she's going to give the sticks a shake. ]

[wieldstheglaive]

59...

[Hotaru flips to the correct page in the book and reads what it says there. ]

This is generally a precarious and tricky time for you, and it would be a very bad idea to make new plans. Any wealth you are enjoying at the moment is likely to be wasted, unless you invest it wisely. You should pay more attention to your health, or you may suffer considerable pain. The best way to find peace for yourself and avert these problems is to perform good deeds for others.

It sounds like you shouldn't worry about yourself right now. Helping other people would be the best way to help yourself.

[massiekur]

[She doubted that this kid could be any where near Hermia's abilities but she wasn't going to completely poo poo the idea of fortune telling.]

I'll volunteer. [why not]

[wieldstheglaive]

Ok, can you give me a question and then shake the sticks?

[massiekur]

[Massie grew silent as she tried to think of just the right question to answer. There were so many directions she could take this in...]

How can I make "Rumor Has it" become a great success?

[quiet_devotion]

[Fortune telling? How cute.]

Is there anything that you can't do?

[He commented offhandedly. Hotaru was already a Sailor Senshi, a princess, a fairly good cook (so he'd heard), and a kind and genuine person (which are rare...)]

[wieldstheglaive]

[GASP! KANAME!? Why was he here...? ]

Mm...

[She nodded, feeling a good deal shy about this. ]

I can't really understand you.

[AHHH! She said that out loud!!! Quick change the subject!]

Would you like to try? Maybe you have a question the sticks could help you with?

[quiet_devotion]

[Wondering why you're here, mostly.

Wait. What?]

I couldn't hold that against you.. that is a particularly difficult subject.

[Why yes, yes you did Hotaru and he didn't let you get away with it.]

[But he wasn't cruel enough to let the subject linger there. He'd play if only to help her move past that slip.]

There's something from my past I sorely regret.. how should I go about making amends for that incident? [Okay.. so the question was about Hotaru so she wasn't off the hook entirely]

[the_most_talent]

You can sign me up Hotaru-chan!

[Makoto raised her hand energetically... but she might have a question in mind that she didn't want to ask in present company]

[wieldstheglaive]

Hai! What would you like to ask, Makoto-chan?

[Whisper it to the sticks if you want to. ]

[the_most_talent]

[She glanced over her shoulder towards Chloe..... then back at the sticks. She leaned in a bit and since Chloe seemed to be distracted..]

Will my current relatio- [She caught sight of Hotaru and hesitated a bit. Closing her eyes she finally got the rest of it out.] This time, will I be able to make this relationship stick? [Or was this going to be a heartbreaking mess?]

[no_souls_here]

{This is so ridiculous.... but he was bored]

I suppose I'll go next...

[wieldstheglaive]

Ok, do you know what you want to ask already?

[She hands Ciel the fortune sticks to shake. ]

[no_souls_here]

[He took the sticks and tilted the jar to one side like he was examining them. They looked rather plain really. Did anyone really buy into this .. nonsense?]

.... Will Elizabeth be happier..... after [I'm gone?] everything?

[aka_catherine]

[She doubted the merit in a game like this.. but it beat doing nothing while they were trapped down here.]

I expect the future will only hold great things for me~ but lets see if the sticks concur.

[wieldstheglaive]

[There wasn't much else to do. ^,^ ]

You just have to ask the sticks a question then and they will tell you what they know.

[aka_catherine]

Alright, I'm ready to be dazzled~

What will my next great invention be? [Knowing full well that since the sticks spoke in riddles they wouldn't be able to give her a definite answer]
