WHEN: 12/20
WHAT: Your monthly prophecy post
WARNINGS: Shouldn't be any!

[Feed turns on to Arthur lazing about in Eaglewing's loft, overlooking the festively-decorated library shelves.]

Hey, so! Happy Christmas, Solstice, hope you had a good Hanukkah, there's other December holidays so I hope good those too. I'm Arthur and I'm doing the "we see the future" report this time!

First up, there's the Ace of Swords, upright. That's stuff like breakthroughs, new ideas, and solutions, so like. That's good. Secondly, seeing yourself in a mirror? I'unno. We also got a giant crystal. Like, really really giant, it sounded like. Also some of these suckers. [He holds up a few Triple Triad cards.]

As for me, I sat through a whole opera in a vision, those things are long! There was a lady who didn't wanna marry a guy, because she loved some other guy, and then he turned up and dueled the first guy, and he died - uh, first guy did - but like, he did love the lady and confessed while dying and that part was actually kinda cool! Still long. Which kinda sucks, I had stuff to do.

Anyway. One last vision, we got a cactus. Yup. Cactus. [Thumb's up!]

...Why does some of this sound oddly familiar.

If any of it's ringing bells, fire away. All I've got is it doesn't sound like it's gonna suck, and might even be kinda nice.

I'm...not sure. [He put a hand to his head, somewhere between thoughtful and confused.] Something about a giant crystal sounds...infuriatingly familiar.

[Hm. Curious.] Past life stuff, maybe? Or something?

I-...something like that, perhaps. That's been far more frequent as of late.

Yeah, uh, that...happens. You been on Libra long, or...?

[He's been a little reclusive since the Library. He's mostly okay now though. Mostly.]

Only since...hm, late October or so?

[Which was true. Nobody asked how long he'd been remembering things for.]

I'm a few months shy of two years... [He bites his lip. Part of him wants to warn that it doesn't really get easier - but then, someone else's experience could be very different.]

If the crystal thing is what stands out to you, then maybe we take that as the Big Thing. It's kinda the best lead we have right now. ....Not that trying to figure stuff out has done a whole lot of good before, but I can't not try.

I can't imagine having to sit through an entire opera in a vision like that...

[Good lord.]

Those things. Are so long. How does anyone have the patience to write, learn, or perform one? I'm lucky I was home for it!

I mean, who knows how long that was in the works as far as writing goes? But finding the time to do it...

The writing's like, all the instrumental parts too, right? There were some of those that went crazy. Especially during the duel.

Wow. So basically you got to see a whole opera that no one else has seen before...for free.

I'm so jealous.

....

[Well. The username aligns. Can't get much more on-theme than that. But also: why.]

I mean. If you really wanna watch it, I can replay and share this stuff. It's just a pretty weird method? And I don't have total control.

[He doesn't hear the warnings, he just hears that he can see the exclusive opera.]

Oh yes, please! I'd love that!

....Did you even hear the "I don't have total control" part? I'm pretty sure I can get what I'm aiming for, but I don't have a lot of practice at this so like. Responsibility or something.

Yeah, sure, I heard it. Now, when can I see this opera?

[He doesn't care about consequences. There's opera at stake.

Heard it and immediately disregarded it, got it. If something goes wrong and we see something horrible you can't say I didn't warn you, alright?

I need to do some stuff around the library, but then I guess.

[why the hell did he suggest this why is he doing this to himself]

Right, I completely understand, and I absolutely think it's worth it. Let me know when you're ready.
