Video: UN - Runeseeker
[Vira-Lorr was seated in her shop, reclining in her chair and looking at the table, her omni set up on the other side. She had a frown on her face, her eyes narrowed. The third eye glittered a little, seeming to almost glow softly in the low light of the room. The candles that were set out flickered and gave the fortune teller's chamber a soft, almost eerie glow.
On the table in front of her were a set of three tarot cards. She steepled her fingers, looking them over before sighing and turning her gaze to the feed, shrugging.]
Well, I never said my visions were always pleasant. Just a thought for my fellow sleepers, as you get ready for the next month. The locals call February a bitter month, and the story of Doorway is not exactly a happy one, trapped and forever waiting for someone who may never return.
Next month, you may be plagued by the possibilities, the imaginings and wishes that you might have in your hearts. Unsure, you might just find yourself at a crossroads, an important decision to be made. And if you choose one way, you may find yourself... what is the saying? "Crying over spilled milk" while you do not see the cups there, full on the shelf and waiting. But a choice always has at least two possible outcomes, yes?
[She reached over and drew another card. She smirked softly.]
Perhaps you might find what it is you want. The season of the Egg Moon is supposed to be a time of Rites, after all. Follow your hearts and choose wisely.
[And with that vague smirk, she flicked the camera feed off.]

That's my recommendation to you.

[ That's the entire problem. The thing that makes Ange frown. After all, it's not like they had much choice but to participate in what happened during all the previous months. Being dragged into that awful sacrifical place, being dragged off to that river of corpses - all of it had happened without Ange having the faintest say in it.
She hates it. ]
If they want to mess with it, they will mess with us. There's nothing we can do to stop it. [ And while things messing with her would already be bad enough, she really hates the idea of her relationship with Ruby getting messed with even more. It's too important to her. ]
no subject
...
I am not sure how far they will mess with matters yet. Or in what way. Still, I suppose I am stating the obvious aren't I? That it will be difficult next month.
no subject
.. well, even just being stuck with it for a little while sucks. She can already feel the worry making her feel sick to her stomach. ]
I wish there was some way to protect ourselves from their influence. It seriously is too much to play around with us like this. Especially.. when it comes to matters like this one.
[ Surely Vira-Lorr would agree with her on that, Ange thinks. After all, Vira-Lorr is trying so hard to be careful in her current relationship. What if next month messes that up completely, outside of her own control? ]
no subject
...
I wish I had some squid ink right now.
no subject
[ Ange repeats, sounding like she's unsure of what exactly Vira-Lorr is talking about right now.
Does it have something to do with their other forms?
(At least it's distracting her from their very awful oncoming problem, though very momentarily.) ]

[ She shakes her head, but she's still thinking about it. Obviously the idea of squid ink is going to be a whole lot more awkward in this situation now, huh. Since all of them basically.. are.. squids.
..
Ugh, she hates thinking about it, but.. ]
But couldn't we make those here? I mean, I haven't tried, but.. couldn't we maybe produce ink? [ PLEASE DON'T MAKE HER THINK ABOUT THIS TOO HARD.. ]
no subject
...
...
I... will look into it.
[AHEM]
Please, leave this one to me. [because thaat's gross and she's not going to subject her to this.] Perhaps there's possibilities.
no subject
Because while there are many times when Ange refuses to just dump all the annoying or dangerous or gross stuff on friends' shoulders, while doing nothing herself, this is definitely one of those moments where she will gratefully pass. The less she thinks about their squid bodies and their potential to produce ink, the better, thanks. ]
I owe you one.
[ Seriously. She's just that grateful to not have to deal with it. ]
.. though it's too bad we're only thinking about it now. If there's any Pthumerian I want to avoid, it's next month's. [ And even if they do find something, it wouldn't be in time for that anymore.
What a pain. Maybe it can protect them next year. ]
no subject
[Oh god but it would go weirdly probably.]
you can't always avoid your heart, my friend. But I hope it remains a stable one for you this month.
no subject
[ Because in places like these, you can never be sure. That's the most annoying aspect about the sheer idea of a month that could seriously mess with her relationship. ]
Same goes out to you though. If you end up having some sort of trouble.. [ You know, in the relationship sphere, though those topics are Very Awkward to Ange. She's.. she's trying. ] You can always talk to me.
[ Because it'd feel unfair to not offer at least that much to Vira-Lorr, when they're at the dawn of Fearsome February. ]
no subject
No, I'm not immune to crying over spilled wine. I have a feeling this was as much for me as others. But I will remember the offer. I may need someone to talk to.
no subject
I wouldn't be surprised.
[ If Vira-Lorr did end up needing someone to talk to. Maybe they're just being overly paranoid, and next month won't be all that bad.. but if something starts messing with relationships of all things? Then Ange does figure the other can use a listening ear. ]
Let's keep that in mind then. And for now just wish the best of luck for each other with whatever we might end up having to deal with.
