Weather Or Not [Lillie & Alicia]

@crystalball-predictions​

“Hey, Lillie. Have you heard?”

“No? Heard what?”

“About that Alicia woman. Lives in Arcadia. She’s got quite a few jobs, but she’s best known for her fortune telling. Way I hear it, she’s never gotten a wrong prediction when it comes to weather.”

Lillie’s eyes went wide with that information. This Alicia woman... She was seriously able to predict the weather a hundred percent correctly all of the time? Sounded too good to be true. Still... Lillie had to admit she was interested.

And with that, she found a few sources to tell her when best to meet up with the woman. Tonight, that just so happened to be at a night club. Those weren’t exactly Lillie’s favorite place to go. Too crowded and noisy. They were also open way too late. For someone who woke up early, that was rough on Lillie.

But that was just part of the plan. Stay up late tonight. Sleep in tomorrow. They’d scheduled it so she was off the next day, so it all worked out.

She sat in the bar, biding her time, sipping on non-alcoholic drinks and eating whatever sweets the nightclub could offer. Finally, once they were closing up, she waited outside. The sudden realization hit her that this was kind of a weird way to talk to someone.

Ah, well... Too late to back down now...

She perked up, fighting a yawn as she approached the pink-haired woman. 

“P-Pardon me... You’re Miss Alicia Aensland, correct? I’m Lillie. I work with the Leudan Broadcasting Station.”

Journalistic Fortunes || Alicia & Soseki

@crystalball-predictions;

There was no mistaking the lovely fortune teller that walked around Leuda. The way she had been described to Soseki was down to a T. Pleased with himself for finding her so fast, Soseki considered the best way to approach. 

She was a famed fortune teller around here, enough that he heard of her through the grapevine, and Soseki loved following up on a story. There was always the question of if she was a fraud or not, but Soseki didn’t want to draw his conclusions from hearsay and second-hand tales. No, he wanted it from the source, but in a way that gave him a true answer. Of course, she would say she was a legitimate fortune teller, and she might very well be, but the way to verify it without any bias?

Get his fortune told! Several times, he was hoping. You couldn’t base results off of one singular test; There were too many factors involved. 

“Hello!” Soseki waved her down and offered her his hand. “You’re the fortune teller I’ve heard people talking about, right?”

Reunions || Max & Alicia

@crystalball-predictions;

[♫] — He doesn’t know what brings him here, exactly. One moment, Max had been taking a leisurely stroll through the streets of Arcadia, taking in the sights that he had been deprived of for so long. And the next, he finds himself in a peculiar little shop, lined with shelves of potion vials and worn tomes. Trinkets of magic and mystique lingered all around, giving the building a sense of enchantment, with a dash of eeriness, due to the uncomfortable silence in the air.

As the heir moves deeper into the shop, he spots the back of a rather curvaceous woman, intensely focused on something that was out of his immediate view, and he raises a brow in recognition. And perhaps, a bit of appreciation. For as asinine as this particular woman could be, he would be lying if he claimed her to be unpleasing to the eye.

Max could always appreciate beauty, in all its forms.

“Still up to your old tricks, I see?” He says, his airy voice cutting through the silence. With a lazy smile, he waits for her to acknowledge him. Max had no doubt Alicia would have a few choice words, the moment she realized who he was. She always did have a rather sharp tongue, especially when it came to him. “You seem to be doing well for yourself, though. I had no idea you had an actual storefront for your fortunes now.”

Hocus Pocus || Jake & Alicia

@crystalball-predictions;

[ ⚔ ] — Jake heard the stories. Quiet buzzings around the guild about a fortune teller on Arcadia, who could cast a variety of charms and spells. Ones that healed, boosted strength, even erased memories and swayed feelings--- and she could even foresee the future, apparently. Of course, skeptic that he was, the half-elf didn’t readily buy into all the gossip.

But while he had been on a work trip to Arcadia, he couldn’t help but stop and offer a curious glance towards the woman in the witch hat and eccentric outfit, set up at a stall with several people lined up in front of it. He hadn’t really been planning on checking it out or anything, but the pushy behavior of one of the male customers had caught his attention. 

He was pestering the lady about something... probably hitting on her or asking for a date. Jake rolls his eyes. Typical. They see a pretty face and nice figure, and they dive in like the damned thirsty dogs they are. Human men were such a fucking disgrace.

The man’s harassment persists, and Jake steps forward to give a piece of his mind. He wasn’t the hero type, far from it, but he didn’t like seeing women getting bothered, either.

Flower Festival: Kismet Planetarium

@constellux, @crystalball-predictions, @ofspicesandstars, @strawberrystarwatcher & @dearestfrey YOOO STAR FAM ★

[★] — Melody never grew up with a family. Not a conventional one, anyway. 

And though it remained to be a source of both motivation and sadness for her, even to this day, she was grateful for the people she did have in her life. The wonderful friends and co-workers who, in her short time here, had already become like family to her. She had truly been blessed.

So when the Flower Festival comes around, she bursts into the Planetarium, excitedly giving out bouquets to every and any one she came across. Each one consisted of pink peonies, blue roses and red alstroemerias--- all a very colorful way of representing her relationship with them, she thinks. Good-hearted and close knit friends, all with a shared love for something out of their reach.

And yet, they never stopped reaching. That was a philosophy Melody herself personally lived by.

“Happy Flower Festival, everyone! I love you~! ♡”

Of Vibes and Visions

@crystalball-predictions;

【✝】~ Lara was conflicted.

Standing before her was a fortune teller, a woman famous across the island for her divination magic and visions. Even with as sheltered as she was, Lara had heard her name many a time (and often got rather... sinful confessions involving her). But as a holy woman of the church, devoted only to the word and omniscience of God, she held a certain skepticism towards the art of witchcraft and clairvoyance.

But with the predicament she was currently faced with, she couldn’t be picky. She had to seek help from what she has determined to be the top authority on this form of spiritualism, even if she was a Witch.

Once her current customer leaves, Lara slowly steps up to where the woman is set up, a nervous smile on her face as she addresses her. One wrong step, Lara, and she just might curse you. “Hello, miss. I hope the day has been treating you well...” 

She trails off, eyes briefly running over the woman’s tools of trade. “If it’s not too much of a bother, would you mind terribly if I asked you a few questions about your... profession?” A woman in a Sister’s habit conversing with one of the Witch’s Circle. What a sight this must have been to those passing by...

Take care of yourself. [Ray/Alicia]

@crystalball-predictions

Ray was so thankful every day that his sister had been able to make a career out of her ability to do fortune telling. She had a strength to her, an iron will to carve her own past and follow her dreams, damn what anyone else may think. Ray envied that, although he would never say it, as the two siblings were as different as could be. Smiling as a small chime sounded, marking his entry into the cozy shop he quickly crossed the room to reach his sister, offering her a warm expression.

“Alicia, would you be able to take a short lunch break with me? I brought food.”

Ray worried for his sister. For her health and her happiness, especially with how busy his schedule was these days. The two siblings rarely had time to see each other, so Ray tried to make time as often as he could. It had been maybe... two weeks since the last time they had gotten together, much too long. “It’s all homemade, so it would be a shame if it went to waste.” A cheekier response than he would usually give, but the siblings were alone, and Ray felt comfortable enough with Alicia to act out just a tiny bit.

𝓲n 𝓭ebt | vishnal & alicia

@crystalball-predictions

✧ Busy or not, Vishnal really needs to learn to watch where he’s going. This time, it’s because he’s got music in his ears as he hurries off to his next job, and it’s one of those songs you just have to let yourself flow with. And, come on! It’s sunny, warm, he’s almost done with the day, he’s made plenty of good progress...

✧ “Can I be close to you... ♪” Violet eyes close as he hums along to a song that should really only be reserved for those in love. Oh, well-- he can appreciate the feeling, yes?

✧ But then he feels himself run into someone. What is that, twice in the past month? Maybe more, he might be forgetting some... Oh, wait--

✧ “I’m so sorry!” Oh please, gods, let this person be fine. It wasn’t that bad of a bump, surely nothing was damaged... With a jerk of his hand, the earbuds pop out, and he wraps them around his fingers. “Are you alright, Miss?”
