ic tarot reading practice
i. pick a fortuneteller
(i'll set up journals when i get home please bear with me)
ii. set a scene
lavana has her own shop setup; it's a fancy, beautiful tent. she lives on a bustling port sky island that most travelers, especially adventurers, will pass through.
fù nàxià has her own shop setup; it's an indoor space full of weird trinkets like bones and shit just lying around. i assume a more modern fantasy setting for her by default, but will move her to a fantasy verse.
meridian is a wanderer from a fantasy setting, but won't be terribly startled by travel between realms, but i promise you she doesn't how know she did it.
jamjars are also fine, or just don't think about it too hard.
iii. have a question in mind
you don't need to open with it immediately, but be prepared to ask a specific question. yes-or-no questions are bad. your character can be absolute shit at this, though; mine will respond accordingly and i will assume you know what you're doing.
iv. post a toplevel
please ask for a specific fortuneteller instead of just going dealer's choice! i may change who's available if i'm finding i'm not getting to play a particular character very much though. you can start mid-scene, ready to ask a question, or play out a little introductory small talk as your character enters the shop.

- lavana: cheerful, friendly, anxious, genuinely trying to help when she reads fortunes; reads with tarot cats, a rider waite smith deck
- fù nàxià: in a permanent state of the menacing ominous feeling a :) gives you, carries a skull around, elegant, intimidating, constantly followed around by speechless spirits; reads with whatever i feel like until she gets her own deck
- meridian: fancy faun fortuneteller; a little spacey, elegant, dumb as a box of rocks but it isn't immediately apparent. still getting a feel for her. reads with the citadel, a unique oracle deck
