[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.]

[Hook, line, and sinker! And he's even bringing food, this is great, everything's coming up Mollymauk today, and he needs it because it has honestly been a rather shitty week.]
I usually do a three-card spread, to represent your past, present, and your future. I'm guided by a higher power to the best card, but they can be rather vague, so the interpretations are mine and can be a bit flawed. I will say, though, my own connection to higher powers is a bit shaky at the moment, since I'm an entire world away, but I'm sure it'll work well enough. [Considering it's literally just cold-reading and guesswork, yeah, probably will. There is the occasional tingle, but he tends not to fall back on that so much.]

I admit, I haven't had anything like this done before. There was someone in the Lower Quarter who would offer fortunes for a small fee—my home, before this place—but she refused to do any readings for me, for some reason.
[ Because Flynn is, maybe, the golden boy of the Lower Quarter and also because Yuri made his feelings on similar things very clear, and they went everywhere together. ]
And I certainly can't blame you for feeling disconnected. That has been... disorienting. To say the least.
Oh—
[ Flynn rounds a corner into a proper little square and pauses, spotting the figure at the far end. He drops his Omni in favor of waving. Apparently, very close by! ]
