Are the cards usually this dramatic? [Piss poor joke.]
no subject
Oh occasion. Sometimes they're a little more, sometimes they're a little less. All depends on the client, and the life they've led. [He taps the final card.] Or will lead.
no subject
Go on, then, darling. Don't keep me in suspense. [Or do, she's not sure she's ready for this.]
sha la la let's make stuff up
[He turns the final card over. Upon it is a faceless angel, playing a trumpet. On one side of the card stands an open door, on the other, Charlie. Chloe stands in the middle.]
You'll come to a crossroads in your life, even here. A choice to continue the life you have now, this new community that you've become a part of, or to go home, and forget everything. You could go back to the life of thievery you know so well, but everything you've built here, even your time with him will be gone.
'Course, if you choose to stay here, you'll eventually have to settle down to the life of domesticity, one way or the other. Ain't no place for people like us, in a world like this.
I'll take 'Reasons Why I Roleplay' for 500
[Well that's...it's something, isn't it? Not what she was hoping to find, though the more she sits, staring down at that lone card weighing her options, the more she's certain no future would have really satisfied anyway.
Meaning she's not exactly better off than she was when she first strolled in, though his demonstration proved useful enough. She'll toss out a text to Victor about a potential bit of talent soon as she's back out in the open.]
Well I've never been much good at cards, anyway. [Deflection's the right tactic to take, yeah?] Thanks for the show - top notch work.
dig ding we have a winner
[There's a subtle pause, as if he's considering something]
Our mutual...interests aside, I still hold true to what I've side before. I do have a knack for changin' things 'round for people. In case you'd ever be interested in such an option.
[He gives a shrug] We look out for our own right? Sometimes even when sentiment ain't exactly somethin' in our best interest.
no subject
And if I gave the go ahead how exactly would you do that?
no subject
All depends on exactly how you'd like things to be changed. There's very little beyond my abilities, though. 'Course, ain't nothing in this world for free, you of all people know that.

But then there's still the matter of magic itself. That for once she's got a chance at turning cards and while it's never worked out favorably for her in the past, being on the receiving end is different than having the wheel under your palms. And after a year and a half of residing in Exsilium, watching the supernatural benefit and harm in equal amounts on the regular means it is, to some extent, a way of life here. Whether she cares for it or not, in a jam like this there's-- if she's careful...]
Something small, then. No calling up the Fates on speed dial or anything like that. Just-- [Chloe taps the end pair of cards meaningfully, willfully incapable of spelling out specifics regardless of how much he knows at this point. Personal business never was her forte.] no more of this.
no subject
Still, he sits back, looking at her cards thoughtfully for a moment.]
How about I take that apprehension away? Make it so ya'll can settle in this new life you've made for yourself without feeling like you're missing out on the old one? Take away that wanderlust a lil'.
[He gives a shrug.] It's that or remove your new life completely, and I don't think you're in the market for that kind of thing.
no subject
How much?

Could be, can't say I've decided what it'll be yet.
no subject
How big of a favor are we talking, then? I need some idea of what I'm passing you, after all.
no subject
Seen as you're helpful enough to find me some work, I can see to givin' you a fair deal. [A pause.] Fairer than most folk, anyway. It'll be nothing life threatening or changing. You got my word.
no subject
Then I'd say we have ourselves a deal.
no subject
I'd say we do, too.
no subject
Good life choices, right?]
no subject
There you go. This'll take away all those restless feelin's you've been having. All you got to do is wear it.
no subject
Still, it's not a bad looking bit of jewelry.]
And if it doesn't work?
no subject
[He gives a shrug.] But it it don't, you bring it right back and we'll just wipe your whole deal clean. You won't owe me a thing.
