WHO: August and the app
WHERE: The app
WHEN: April 24th-ish
WHAT: Prophecy Power Hour
WARNINGS: Swearing. It's August.

[The video opens on August in a half-packed sewing room. Most of his stuff is still out, there's just less clutter and fewer piles of material in the background. Plenty of boxes, though. RIP.]

It's that time of the month again--though, uh, I think Will may have gone home or something. I haven't heard from him in a while.

[Which is stressful but hopefully he's safe at home now.

Anyway. August pulls out the King of Pentacles, upright, and shows it to the camera.]

Well, good news is we're thinking this month is going to be chill for the first time in fucking forever. God. This card usually represents shit like prosperity and things in abundance and--it's good shit. One of us got just stars, like he was stargazing, and another one got so many flowers. The last of us got--

[Excuse him while he checks a thing]

"Behold the wonders around in a new light--for the world is big, and you are quite small" which is the kind of vague oracle-level bullshit I can't make sense of but hey, it's not "everyone's gonna fucking die" so you know what? I'll take it.

[ he didnt believe in this shit for years and now his life has gotten insane since he denied karma existing and now hes unable to deny its real so FFFFINe hes going to suspend his disbelief in tarot not being completely bullcrap now. ]

I quite like the idea of not being in a situation where everyone and their dog is in peril.

In terms of poetic metaphor, I do hope that does not mean we are going to all shrink and start seeing the world as beetles do.

[ his attempt at a joke. ]

[drewthetower]

idk Magic School Bussing this could be fun

[kowase]

...I understand that reference.

But I am not so sure.
I feel as if I would develop a fear of birds.

I am sure they would not hesitate.

[end_singer]

I'm glad there will be a measure of respite. You have been terribly stressed of late.

Which reminds me, I happened upon something I think you may like. When would be a good time to deliver it?

[Nito, the postal system is a thing...]

[drewthetower]

Like, in person?

[end_singer]

...Yes?

[areyuuserious]

Thank fuck. We are overdue several times over for a break.

[drewthetower]

I'm not saying anything unless I jinx it but fucking agree. I never want to see another peach so long as I live, either.

[areyuuserious]

Tell me about it.

[droptheious]

I haven't seen Will for a while, either. I haven't been able to get in touch with him on the app, so...yeah. That's probably what happened.

[He's sad about the loss of a friend, but he's glad Will got to go home to be with his boyfriend. He might have a chance at happiness there, complicated as his home world is. ]

I really hope it'll be calmer. I mean, I'm not holding my breath. We all know what this place is like. But it'd be nice to have like, a tiny amount of time where nothing is on fire.

[drewthetower]

One month. Just one month. That's all I'm asking for right now.

[Sob.]

You okay? Zodiac hasn't...y'know.

[droptheious]

Right? It's really not much. I think we've earned it.

[He shakes his head.]

No. Since that creepy message, they haven't come looking for me. Me and Fern have abandoned the Zodiac apartment, it's- I don't think it's safe going back there. We've got a new place to live.

[schrodingersghost]

I guess that doesn't sound bad? For once?

[Danny desperately just wanted to have a break. But after the last few months, even mild optimism felt like it might be asking too much.]

[drewthetower]

For once. God.

[Anyway.]

You okay?

[schrodingersghost]

I'm still in one piece at least? That probably counts for something.

[mehjin]

Yeahhhh I'll believe it when I see it.

[drewthetower]

Nothing's pointing to things being bad, so I'm cautiously optimistic. My standards are just in the fucking ground.

[mehjin]

Tell me about it...

[she sighs.]

Honestly, you were right, boring would be great right now.

[reenforces]

Will went home?

[Mikleo's surprised to hear that, but... Will missed his friends and family a lot, even if he didn't want to say it. Forced to grow up despite his age...]

He has a good head on his shoulders, so I'm sure he'll do well. I bet in ten years he'll make our healing spells look like a joke.

[anyway]

I can't figure out anything from these clues. Maybe we'll be camping in the wilderness?

[drewthetower]

God, I hope not. Apparently the last time there was a camping gate, there was also grass demons.

[reenforces]

Did you see any grass demons in your cards?

[Mikleo thinks August just hates going outside.]

un: velvet

[gotbadblood]

C'mon, there was just one grass demon, and we handled him pretty easily. Don't use that as an excuse to hide from the outdoors.
