The Shadow Carnevale (OOC)

Just wanted to make a note that I made a small edit to my last post. She gets a good look at "them" (the cords) not "him."

That depends a lot on what TheGenerator's plans are with the witch.

Though the contents of you post does give me some ideas.

Ah ok. I thought maybe this dream world was that same prison world that Asha is lost in.
But if not, then we'll just have to help her some other way :)
I think it's just a figment of Albert's imagination. It might as well turn out to be a hippo. It doesn't have to make sense.
I have no specific plan for the witch. It only showed up in Albert's mind because of his own conviction of there being one :)
If you want to use the same witch for one of your idea, I'm all for it!

That was my initial impression, till you actually saw 'her'.
Yeah, why not. :)

Point of clarification: Lille’s last sentence, "What deeds or regrets are holding you?" is in reference to the witch. I just reread it and thought that it might be misinterpreted as her asking Albeart. She’s looking at the witch when she says it, but I suppose Albeart could respond too if you want.

That was what I thought you meant. :)

Nice add-on, that picture of the half cards.

I'll post in a couple of hours

I know nothing about tarot cards (beyond suspecting I don't pronounce the final 't':). So I don't know that those pictures represent.

It is fitting that you drew twice as many cards as I asked for, both because I knew my asking for 6 half-cards would yield twelve and because the room is filled with people, even if some of them are bears.

Go ahead and see if you can come up with a reading, and we can try make it make sense.

I also don’t know anything about tarot cards. Maybe Kara can help? In a made-up world within a made-up world, they can probably mean whatever you like :)

I know that some ‘psychics’ and others who do various readings want the person to talk about themselves, because it gives them clues. Maybe shadow-dream fortune tellers are similar? I’m having Lille talk more than she might otherwise to help with that, and give everyone more insight about her. Also more fun all around than her just having a staring contest with the not-witch that she’s obliviously offending ;)

Quite so. So we make something up... she certainly seems to be. :)

Despite owning the cards, I'm not much of a tarot reader myself, but it were me, I'd play around with the themes of the Judgement card and the Devil Card:
There are a number of Pentacles cards in this hand, so here's some info about them on the whole:
Or ignore all that and just get creative with it! (I just figured that sometimes some real life info can offer some creative inspiration.)

lol. Ezmaray didn't seem like she was in a snappy mood, so I had that "WATCH IT!" comment be in Theo's voice. .... I wonder what's going on up surface....

.... Hmmm. And how likely it is that Theo took a peek at her journal, which she just left out...? 😂

I always assumed that they mean whatever you want them to mean. As in, they are created to be vague and applicable to pretty much any situation or topic.

I remember a tarot reader on TV talking about the 'Death' card and explaining it as "A big life change is coming". But I'm pretty sure other cards in the deck could signify that just as easily.

I can see some explanations for that when you get back. But feel free to use it in any way you like before then. Or tell me to bring it into this story (I think I can?)
Completely up to you. Again, feel free to weave that into your story here, or examine the topic when you get back.

Seems like a cop-out to me. Pretty clear when 'death' does not happen that the reading was fake, or maybe they just don't want to scare people off with the truth.
One would assume they are all about 'coming change'? :)
Some of the selected cards don't have titles, so I have nothing to work with. :)

Certainly more entertaining for me if he does! I don't think much in that journal is relevant to what we currently face, though, so that is likely a better topic for our return.

For sure. Do you think it is more interesting if he read it but Ezme does not know, or for Ezme to arrive back and find him reading? You will need to tell us what is in there when it becomes relevant.

Do you need answers from me about Roald's [ref] and Albeart's [ref] in-character 'questions' in the RP? I have no opinions on your memory triggers, but I can make something up if you need. :)
