Putting this out here so that I can be reminded and pressured into writhing this fic
An au on which Zhou Mingrui has a younger brother (+ Og!Klein)
(idk why he’s here ask Revelare about this, it is absolutely her fault)
-this au is basically a “what if Zhou Mingrui has a younger brother?” based on that lotm dream that I had
Note: that this converges fron both real canon and dream canon
Zhou Mingrui was having a steak of bad luck he came upon a book called (The Qin and Han Dynasty Ritulas???) that has a luck ritual in it. Seeing this he decided to give it a try. I mean, looks harmless enough.
Its not like anything could go wrong right?
When he went home to perform the luck enhancement ritual his younger brother, Zhou Mingyuan|周明愿 (who dream me actually named jinque|金雀 【 jinzi|金子 - gold + maque|麻雀 - sparrow 】)decided to crash at his place due to his class being cancelled.
Mingyuan was curious about what his brother had in his arms when he told him that it was a luck ritual. He then asked him to join him in performing it just for fun. When they did the ritual they ended up getting whisked together into the same cocoon. By the time of their transmigration there are now three(3) souls, Mingrui, Mingyuan and Og!Klein, in one body.
With three consciousness trying to control one body, its bound to become chaotic with them trying to take control. They decided to have them take turns in piloting the body while the other two will spectate from the background. With Klein still hurt and disoriented from the Antigenous Notebook incident and Mingyuan being apprehensive in controlling a body not his, they decided that that job would be Mingrui’s.
With Mingrui now being mostly in control(and almost embarrassing themselves in front of Melissa), he thought it was that they should do the luck ritual again to see if it would send the Zhou siblings back home. Everyone agreed to this arrangement and went out to buy the food needed (and the groceries that Melissa asked for).
When they finished buying the groceries(and materials) they came across a circus. The diviner suggested to have their fate read. With the mention of a free session they decided to divine their current situation. Mingrui dedicated to look at the present first.
The Present; The Fool, upright.
After seeing this the diviner was revealed to be a fraud and was actually an animal tamer. While the real diviner was chasing the animal tamer off he decided to peek into the other two cards.
The Past; Wheel of Fourtune, reversed
The Future; The World, reversed
Well that’s quite ominous.
‘A past filled with misfortune and a future on where I get the answer I needed but was disappointed with it’ Mingrui thought. He guess it fits the situation the three of them are in. But what does ‘The World, reverse’ mean?
Mingrui decided to refuse to the divination session from the real diviner and go home to do the ritual. Upon setting it up and completing it, they got pulled into the grey fog.
When they woke up in the grey fog they discovered that they got their own body back. Exploring the place, Mingrui accidentally touched the two red stars and summoned two people who will be later known as The Hanged Man and Justice. After the whole ordeal Ms. Justice asked for their name.
Mingrui introduced himself as The Fool while Mingyuan and Klein got introduced as The World and Wheel of Fortune respectively. Through this, the first Tarot Club meeting now ends its session.
