[ isn't it so cool. bug ]

Yeah, this kind of deck. It follows the story of a traveler, I think? Each of the cards means somethin'. Couldn't tell you what.

[ peers at them like

huh ]

A… journey? From what, bein’ an idiot to—?

[clockpunk]

No clue. Maybe a bunch of different endings, if they're all s'posed to mean different things?

[ this isn't his kind of card game, man. he'll set the deck aside for now. ]

[berserketype]

Like... good and bad ones?

[clockpunk]

That's how a fortune goes, so probably? You gonna get yours read?

[berserketype]

[ his tail swishes ]

Is... it gonna ruin somethin' if I do?

[clockpunk]

Don't see why it would...? They're usually just done for fun, I think?

Though this place actually does seem magical, so maybe it's not a good idea...

[ deadass thought i replied to this help. anyway ]

You're a risk-taker, huh, Mr. Basilio? I can respect that.

[ this week has been the most ]

I reckon bein' here's been the biggest risk of all.

[clockpunk]

[ okay that gets a slightly morbid little laugh from him. hands over a cookie, snapping his own in half with his teeth. ]

Well, you're right about that.

[berserketype]

[ it's pretty dark, but then again -- their whole situation is. ]

Feels a bit better to acknowledge it, rather than pretend it's all fine.

[clockpunk]

I agree. Things are fucked up, there's no pretendin' otherwise. Even with the good things.
