AlcheME!

[ The elevator opens up to a room spacious enough to house the whole unit comfortably, but with no furniture to speak of except a touchscreen podium near the far wall, displaying a row of four larger-than-life mahjong tiles on a red background. On the left side of the screen is a square that says TRADE. The walls and floor of the room are nearly checkered with metal panels, out of place against the rest of the marble flooring and unremarkable off-white walls.

The elevator doors close behind you. ]

I'm all right with avoiding them. I also don't want to hit sensitIV. They're the healers, so if they're all in pieces by the end it's extra bad.

[neigh_sayer]

Don't forget Avante! Our shining knight is there!

[columbidaring]

Avante's out too. Got it.

[eeny meany miney mo'ing]

Wild City.

[columbidaring]

Blindness on Wild City is our play then?

[neigh_sayer]

[oh no knight's bro

CONCEAL DON'T FEEL]

Yup, yup, it's the safest! And technically, completely random.

[columbidaring]

Who knows, if they played a higher card it might not even do anything.

[liarliarliar]

Yes. With Zrael and then future is now as backup.

[columbidaring]

I'll go put the vote in.

[liarliarliar]

Thank you, niichan~

[ PULLS OUT CARDS ]

I should have learned how to play an actual card game with these...

[liarliarliar]

Tell me my fortune.

[columbidaring]

Do you want the big spread, or the little one? I learned three, six and ten-card draws.

[liarliarliar]

I'll take six.

[columbidaring]

Six it is! [ shuffling the major arcana out and spreading them ] Okay, choose, choose!

[liarliarliar]

[picks every other card]

[columbidaring]

I'm gonna do this one all speedy, since I don't know how long these rounds are. First up is mostly about you. Your self, your wants, fears, you know! In the following order:

[ FLIPS OVER:

X. The Wheel of Fortune
V. The Hierophant
XX. Judgement ]

[liarliarliar]

What does it mean!

[columbidaring]

Well, to sum it up, it basically means that you're in a situation that feels entirely out of your control, that you want someone reliable who you can trust and confide in, and that right now all changes seem like they might be bad changes to you and you might be worried about circumstances taking a turn for the worse.

So that's cheery. Next three!

[ XIV. Temperance
IV. The Emperor
XV. The Devil ]

So these ones are more about the situation around you. Advantages, disadvantages, what's most likely to happen...

[liarliarliar]

Ah, what's most likely to happen is devilish then?

[afailedmurder]

I have no objections.

[liarliarliar]

Aniki, come draw with me.

[sits and starts doodling on the floor]

[afailedmurder]

...Sure.

[draws a crude picture of F]

[liarliarliar]

Oh, cute...
