[ Perhaps if you've already been to the fair, you've spotted one of the booths slowly being draped in blankets and curtains until it looks appropriately gaudy. Reporting to you now live from inside his brocade den is...an off center image of an equally gaudy tiefling. Look, attempts are being made. ]
Hello my dears! I'm sure you're all aware of the carnival that seems to have made itself available to us. Lovely little place. That said, I did notice an sad lack of any sort of fortune tellers, which I think we can all agree is a shame. And so I have gallantly taken it upon myself to fill that unfortunate hole.
[ One hand sweeps out of frame as Molly gives an extravagant bow. You're all welcome. When he straightens up again, he's holding a few tarot cards fanned out, backs to the camera. ]
And, as a special bonus, I'm offering that right here and now, I'll pull a single card for anyone who asks. [ Without him seeming to move at all, two of the cards vanish and the one remaining is now facing the camera. Look closely and you might spot an image of a covered wagon with the word HOME written across the bottom. ]
Fair deal? Only one card, though. If you want more, you'll have to come see me in person~
[ Someone's taken to the idea of advertising quickly. Perhaps also a test to see how well he can cold read through these weird devices? Whomst can say. Look at that sharp-toothed smile, is that the kind of face that would con you? ]

The only fortune teller I've seen here is that mechanical monstrosity. A toy, really.
Will you draw one for me?
no subject
Mechanics, is it? That's a new one by me.
[ A second later, the card appears, two dragons facing each other one platinum and one red. Beneath is written THE JUDGE. ]
Well now. The Judge. Justice and righteous authority. You do seem quite the righteous type to me. [ This accompanied by a flash of a grin. ] But I'd say something to the effect of taking back control of your life.
no subject
That seems a touch ironic in a place like this.
I don't often feel in control, here or anywhere else... Perhaps the cards can sense that in me.
no subject
[ He shrugs a little, unbothered. Ah well, he will get some of them wrong sometimes. ]
Perhaps a lesson is coming or perhaps you have more self-control than you think and that's coming to the fore. These things are rarely quite so literal.
