   ⠀❛ ⠀If it's insight into your love life you're after, you might wanna double down with a palm reading.⠀❜ ⠀She holds up one of her hands for emphasis, wiggling the fingers as her palm faces forward.    ❛ ⠀As far as the cards go, though, I make sure to tell my clients that they shouldn't take it too seriously. Fate isn't set in stone, after all— but a little insight goes a long way in avoiding disaster.⠀❜  

   ⠀Not that he's a client in the traditional sense, seeing as she isn't really charging anything. Somehow it would just feel wrong when she doesn't even have her shop here...

   ⠀The pads of her fingers tap against the top of the deck, rings glinting in the light with each movement.    ❛ ⠀So let's get to know each other. I can do all kinds of readings with this— so what's been on your mind ?⠀❜

   ⠀❛ ⠀Don't mind me— they like being warmed up first.⠀❜ ⠀Deft fingers begin cutting and shuffling the deck, and the sound is akin to the flutter of wings across the table.    ❛ ⠀I really wish I had my favorite deck from the Ark. I get the feeling you would've liked them... anyway, is there a reason you wanna do this ? Got a question burning in the back of your mind ? … Or is this just for funsies ?⠀❜

⠀⠀⠀⠀"Your gifts would be wasted on me, fortune teller." He waves a hand dismissively, in spite of the assumption that this one will be far too insistent to be sent off so simply. "I'm well aware of my fate, both of the past and my future. Save your talent for those more lost in the dark. I'm sure they would pay quite the fee for any sense of clarity you could offer."

   ⠀❛ ⠀You're making a lot of assumptions, you know. I won't deny that money's a good reward— I had a store for this sort of thing back in the Ark... but it's also a hobby.⠀❜ ⠀As predicted, she doesn't seem particularly dissuaded— but if it's an attempt at a sale, setting the price to 'free' is... certainly a choice.    ❛ ⠀Hobbies are fun, but shouldn't be taken seriously. Tarot is the same way. I don't really see it as predicting something set in stone... But it is a good way to talk to yourself about the things you're avoiding, or have some blinders on about— if it's right in front of your face, you kinda have to listen.⠀❜

⠀⠀The Pilgrim had gone to the forgotten area of Yesteryear for exploration and scavenging for a few days, while also studying the robotic inhabitants that live there. Such odd beings that are content to stay forgotten and away from civilization. They couldn't possibly be classified as Raptures, but even so...

⠀⠀At any rate, she has gathered some scrap to analyze back in her home in the city. There's plenty of new and old technology for her to study, some of it potentially being useful for future endeavors. The city has mostly grown dark, aside from the Golden Ward— Snow White is certain she'll make it back to her apartment without being disturbed. So far, most people haven't felt inclined to approach the cloaked Nikke... Most.

[arcanivist]

   ⠀One thing that can be agreed on is that Arcana isn't most people. She wishes she could say that the whim of the cards brought her to the right answer, and that her instinct is so powerful and so dead-on that it brought her directly to this cloaked stranger. Nope— this was just the result of good old-fashioned observation (although that doesn't mean she can't stretch the truth if it ever came up...).

   ⠀❛ ⠀Excuse me ! I can see you're...⠀❜ ⠀A more thorough glance is given to the mangled metal the woman carries— far too heavy for most humans that aren't a certain Commander back home.    ❛ ⠀… Busy,⠀❜  she tacks on, almost like a question. A heavy load, dressed for battle, each individual piece of gear looking way too heavy and expensive for the average human... It paints a certain image. So, by process of elimination...    ❛ ⠀I'll be quick, cross my heart. But I just wanted to know... you wouldn't happen to be a Nikke, would you ?⠀❜

I'm gonna put out a starter call while I follow the masterlist and whatnot— so like for a starter, but also feel free to reply with any emoji of your choosing if you'd like Arcana to give your character a reading !

ARCANA ⛧ goddess of victory: NIKKE.

A nikke, or cybernetically enhanced being housing a human brain. She prefers not to fight, but has a rocket launcher (currently a toy) Just In Case

Runs a very successful tarot shop in the Ark; although she can use other means of divination, all of which with startling accuracy, tarot is by far her favorite (which she insists not to take too seriously!)

Her real profession, however, is to record and watch over highly confidential information in the Forbidden Library. To avoid any security risks, she undergoes daily memory wipes, but uhhh... guess those are off the table for a while!

Generally upbeat and friendly, eager to live life to the fullest. That tends to happen when you feel like you have only half the day a normal person has and even less of a lifespan

Photos. Photos everywhere. She may not be getting memory wipes currently, but mnemonic devices are forever

More than happy to read someone's palm, teach them tarot, give them some guidance— the works!

Or we can just get churros. Read some musty books. W/e

Welcome to scenic Isola Radiale, Arcana!

You’ll be staying in CONDO 405.

You’ll retain your enhanced strength, though only enough to barely lift a car.

You will also be given a toy rocket launcher.

Enjoy your stay!
