[A few days after everyone's settled in, this pops up:]
—working now? Oh, good, that took so much longer than I thought it would.
[To those well-versed in such things, they might quickly identify the androgynous figure onscreen right now, dressed in an eyesore of a coat, as a tiefling: there are the horns, the tail, the lavender skin, the red and pupil-less eyes. To those who aren't? Jesus, it's another fuckin' weirdo, and he's giving the camera a bow.]
Mollymauk Tealeaf, formerly of Exandria and the Mighty Nein and now of Trench, at your service! I'm a bit lacking in funds at the moment, so if you have some coin to spare, come to Cellar Door. I've set up near one of the statues. [And he pans the camera up to show an artistic, distinctive statue of a woman dancing, with cloth draped over her arms. Then down to a little portable table with a set of tarot cards laid out.]
For just two coppers, or whatever the equivalent is here, I'll tell you what the future has in store for you. Doesn't that sound like a steal to you?
[Advertisement over, he gets serious, and adds:]
Oh, and—if anyone from the Mighty Nein is here? Let me know you're safe. [Please.]

voice;
Good advice, I'd hope. After all, the future isn't set in stone—maybe the future you saw isn't the one you're going to have here and now.
no subject
Future I saw didn't have anything to do with this place.
And your predictions, do they usually come true?
Or is it kind of an up for interpretation thing?
still voice
The cards that get chosen always come true. My interpretations, however, can be a bit flawed—I am simply a mortal vessel for higher powers, there’s bound to be a few things lost in translation.
no subject
Seems convenient, but sure, whatever.
Tell you what. I get enough to grease your palms with, maybe I stop by for a reading after all.
Maybe enough weird shit is happening that I can take a turn for the mystical magical whatever and see if it gets me anywhere.
no subject
Honestly, I'll take whatever you're willing to give me. From what I hear, this place runs on a barter system.
[Gently encouraging:] It can't hurt. At worst, all you'll lose is a couple minutes.
no subject
Still want to find something I can actually, like, GIVE YOU give you.
Not a fan of owing people favors if I can avoid it.
But once I have that, yeah, I guess I'll just. Show up at your place.
Maybe you'll have some of the other eight of you here by then, too.
