[ 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? ]

[ She kind of wants to see more of the cards, but she's also happy with the one she got and has no idea if going to get three would overwrite her GOOD CARD. And so- ]
Have you tried to draw one for yourself? Which one did you get?
no subject
[ And that's true, oddly enough. The nature of his particular kind of deck is to be deeply personal. Which is probably why her question gets a very amused eyebrow lifted. ]
Well no situation is ever the same, is it? What I might pull now and what I might pull a minute from now are entirely different. But if you mean which is mine...
[ He glances down again, apparently riffling through the deck before he holds up a new card. An image of Molly himself, standing on a sword hovering over what looks like a battlefield. Beneath that is written THE FOOL. ]
There you are, then.
no subject
[ Well that's delightful, isn't it? The battlefield notwithstanding. And this time she turns her head, squinting to see how the card looks upside down.
Huh. ]
So does that mean that the person on the other card is a real person, too? Do you know them?
no subject
Some are, some aren't. That particularly fetching green gentleman is someone I know, yes.
