shegoat[Clio is what we're gonna call interesting, if we mean to be accurate but reasonably polite.
She spends most of her time lounging about the tea house, where she doesn't technically work even though the demons in charge pay her a salary—they like her quite well, it seems, even though she doesn't really do anything for them and won't be beholden to their schedule or whims, hence a tendency to wander about at her leisure.
If asked, the demons in charge will tell patrons (outside of Clio's earshot) that they planted catnip in their garden and came back to find her rolling around in it. It's the lion in her—and apparently there's enough of it to keep whatever the catnip might have done to the goat or snake in her.
Those familiar with the ancient myths will recognize her as a chimera in her three parts, plus a more humanoid shape to it all: a woman with lion's ears, goat's horns, snake's scales in her skin, and all three tails. Her forked tongue makes sss noises when it flicks past her lips. Her pupils sit sideways.
Still, she's human enough to carry a conversation with, though she's got that cat-like aloofness to her. Always, she carries a deck of cards with her. Often, it sits on the table in front of her while she's incorrectly splayed out in a chair. Without much prompting, she's happy to ask:]
Are you interesssted in having your fortune told?
ic fortunetelling! i'm learning the citadel deck in anticipation for drachenfest, so here's my drachenfest character doing those fortunes. isekai your character or imagine we're all in the same jamjar or that they walked into an interdimensional tea house i don't CARE. clio can also be pretty easily isekai'd anywhere else, just give her somewhere to lounge around in.
feel free to start with your character's initial approach, pick up from where i left off, start somewhere different, put us in the middle of asking the question, have your character ask about the process first, have them pry about clio's existence, it's whatever, have fun with it. bracket and prose styles both acceptable.
basic three card spreads are happening generally. have a specific question in mind. yes-or-no questions are bad, but if your character asks one, clio will give them shit and i'll assume ooc you know what you're doing.
