Tarot memory share [Phoenix]

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 ]
mountanoffensive: (you and I are fragile things)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-06-18 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't say I'm fearless. I'm definitely afraid of losing people special to me.

But it helps being a warrior too.
briarliar: (Japanese Camellia)

[personal profile] briarliar 2022-06-18 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm, but that's an understandable fear. And not one that makes you instinctively recoil and punch a wall because it's an emotional thing and not one that has six spindly legs...

But thank you for sharing your memory for the Sun card, that was very generous of you!
mountanoffensive: (faced down far worse things before)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-06-18 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I know I'm not very good at sorting these things out so I figured I could help best that way.
briarliar: (Buddha's Hand)

[personal profile] briarliar 2022-06-18 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
You were very helpful, and I'm glad you had a happy memory to share! I-I think I'd be a little worried for the teams that had to offer things like Death and Devil. We had a hard enough time with the Hierophant card...

And we're also very lucky to have so many smart people on our team like Stoat, Mr. Sholmes and Mr. Inui!

[ the latter two who are probably bickering about how pretty Sholmes is in a dress right now but they contributed ]
mountanoffensive: (wind on your mane)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-06-18 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm glad we didn't have any of the really nasty ones.
briarliar: (Freesia)

[personal profile] briarliar 2022-06-18 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
From what Stoat said it doesn't have to be nasty necessarily, but it's a shame so many of them are very sad. I would hope something that's supposed to predict the future would have more happiness than those eight ball answers.
mountanoffensive: (snort)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-06-18 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't believe in that stuff anyway.
briarliar: (Foxtail Agave)

[personal profile] briarliar 2022-06-19 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure how to believe it until after the future becomes the past but, um, I suppose if the predictions are frequently wrong it would make sense not to believe it.
mountanoffensive: (this is kind of a lot)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-06-19 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Do people here have any experience with them?
briarliar: (Daphne)

[personal profile] briarliar 2022-06-19 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
I only know about Stoat's friend, h-he said he would be cryptic and vague about future predictions too. But Stoat also said he hated him and he wasn't good at it...
mountanoffensive: (I'm going to just start walking now)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-06-19 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Stoat has friends?
briarliar: (Lily of the Valley)

[personal profile] briarliar 2022-06-19 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
I...don't think they're friends anymore.

[ mutually wanting each other dead seems like a non-friendship thing to do ]

But they used to play cards together and I suppose that's why it's so, um, focused about winning.
mountanoffensive: (this is kind of a lot)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-06-19 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Was this friend also a... what did he say he was? Ermine?
briarliar: (Forget Me Not)

[personal profile] briarliar 2022-06-19 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
Stoat didn't mention it. To be honest, I thought it might be something like a skunk or a badger...
mountanoffensive: (portal tummy?)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-06-19 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
He got mad when I caused him a weasel and corrected me.
briarliar: (Hawthorn)

[personal profile] briarliar 2022-06-19 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
I-I wouldn't take it personally. I think mad is the usual reaction it gives to almost everything...

Do you think maybe the friend was a weasel? And that's why it got so upset?
mountanoffensive: (you're okay you're all right)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-06-19 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
I guess that would make sense. Especially if they had a bad falling out.
briarliar: (Larkspur)

[personal profile] briarliar 2022-06-19 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
It sounds like Stoat had a bad falling out with everyone...
mountanoffensive: (faced down far worse things before)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-06-19 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
There could be some personality work... He reminds me of Ched.
briarliar: (Clementine)

[personal profile] briarliar 2022-06-19 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Ched? Is he, um, part of the group Wammawink took care of?

[ all those names were kind of a blur to her but she tried to remember! ]
mountanoffensive: (this is hard but she is worth it)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-06-19 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yep. He's a finchtaur. Very aggressive and unpleasant most of the time. But he cares deep down.
briarliar: (Freesia)

[personal profile] briarliar 2022-06-19 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
That does sound a little like Stoat the first two anyway...

I take it that means you have a lot of patience with others. No wonder you have a warrior's temperament.
mountanoffensive: (this is kind of a lot)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-06-19 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. Ched and me fight a lot sometimes. But I try not to let him get to me for as long as I can.
briarliar: (Pointsettia)

[personal profile] briarliar 2022-06-19 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm, that's right! I know you said you like to stomp on bullies but it sounds as if he's difficult but not malicious when you fight...
mountanoffensive: (it's hidin time)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-06-19 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, we're still family. He can just be a lot sometimes.
