Tarot memory share [Phoenix]

[guillotineroom]

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:

HIEROPHANT, STRENGTH, SUN

[ RULES | TURN-IN ]

Hmmmmmmm...

[There is a significant pause.]

That guy Estinien Varlineau has a weapon in his picture. On the other hand, Imre Sakovic is here for heresy and blasphemy, and the third memory involves a god, right? Maybe those are 2 and 3?

[briarliar]

[ can we say she managed to look over the available phone and just conveniently stares at the profiles while ignoring there is a list of CRIMES because Yor likes pictures more ]

These phones really are very advanced! Um, if it's between the two, Mr. Varlineau is the scythe wielder. I-if that's his memory I mean... From his picture, he's familiar with longer melee weapons—

[briarliar]

I! I'm only assuming! Because he looks taller!!

[totalmisplay]

Huh. Yeah, sure. But then what are we judging on for the second memory?

[briarliar]

I-I don't know, you're the better one at judging than I am. Especially since you did it so much in the dokkaebi egg task...

But Mr. Sakovic looks like...an academic nerd? Without the beard! And the second memory had a lot of magic but the only sword that looked like it had been used was the girl, not the one who the memory belonged to.

O-of course you're probably right and we should go by what you say!

[totalmisplay]

Everyone seems pretty worthy of being judged. Makes it harder to pick which one deserves it for each specific thing.

I think we can just go with that, though.

[briarliar]

I-I'm glad you think they're worthy?

Hmm, I just hope nobody gets upset if we pick the wrong person. Some of these make for very awkward introductions!

[totalmisplay]

...You think they're gonna show who we guessed?

[It forgot to incorporate LOOKING STUPID into the list of considerations for random guessing. Hmmmmmmm.]

[briarliar]

Um, this is only my second task, so I don't really know! B-but it's possible since it seems they like us learning more about each other so finding out someone who guessed y-your memory would count?

[totalmisplay]

Ehhhhh... well, maybe they should make themselves more memorable, if we get it wrong. Kinda on them if we don't know the answer, if you think about it.

[briarliar]

I think it means we'll also have to try to get to know more people so the next time we'll be able to guess better. There are so many magic users here I don't think I'd be able to keep track of them all!

[totalmisplay]

Maybe we can come up with a phishing scheme for everyone's personal info.

[briarliar]

Aaaaah, do you mean something like serving them fish and then when they rush off to the bathroom we look around for anything they left behind that could be a clue?

[totalmisplay]

...

Sure. You're in charge of that one. Congrats.

[briarliar]

I-I don't think I should be in charge of any team things!

But I will try cooking fish more. I've already discovered there are some swimming in the sea that I can catch to practice on.

[totalmisplay]

If I'm delegating a task to you, I'm the one technically in charge. I'm just leaving the execution to you.

Ugh... fish.

[briarliar]

In that case, you should come fishing with me the next time I do it! That way we'll be catching the ones you want and won't waste anything bringing it back to the dorms...

[totalmisplay]

I don't want any fish.

[briarliar]

But you said you're leaving the execution to me, and I can execute fish better with someone to help! And since you're very particular about things, that means you're the best choice.

[ we are going to have social enrichment whether you want to or not ]

[totalmisplay]

It's like you look every word up in a dictionary and deliberately pick the wrong definition every time.

Whatever. I'll murder some fish. Ideally a harpoon gun is involved.

[briarliar]

I-if you want a harpoon gun I'm afraid you'll have to ask the suggestion box. I could also sharpen a stick for you, but wouldn't it just be easier to...

[ not wanting to call out if Stoat is afraid or bad at fishing ]

...see what the beach is like first? You might find an excellent high perch and then you could pierce them without having to adjust for the water's reflective surface as much!

[totalmisplay]

I'll figure something out. What are you gonna do?

[briarliar]

Use my hands?

[ you know, the usual way ]

[totalmisplay]

Huh. Do you lure them up to the surface first?

[briarliar]

Oh, that's easier when it happens! But usually I just wade in and wait until one of them is within striking distance.
