WHO: August and you
WHERE: Gemini
WHEN: Late March
WHAT: Prophecy!!
WARNINGS: August swears? Other folks do too.

[The post opens on August once again in his sewing room, but this one's in Meropide. Look, he spends a good 90% of his time sewing, okay? This happens. Julian, his raven familiar, is holding up the Four of Wands, upright, in his beak as August is working on something. (If you're in the elopement party, you might recognize it as August's best man attire.)]

So I've done my reading for Kaisou for next month, and at least on my end it's a good one. Four of Wands, at least upright, is like...home and celebration and parties and stability. The kind of thing you wanna see after the last couple of months. [And with his best friend's elopement-that's-totally-not-a-small-elopement coming up

August looks up from his his work, rolling his neck.]

And for any new folks on the app: yeah this is a thing. We have a whole group of seers, we all check in to try and get the lay of the land for the upcoming month, no we don't get any specifics because that's not how this works.

[A beat.]

I mean, most of the time we don't. Sometimes it's pretty fucking clear.

“Tonight feels like a board game co-designed by M. C. Escher on a bender and Stephen King in a fever.”
― David Mitchell, Slade House

Given other context, I suspect this is alarmingly straightforward, for once. Do not, under any circumstances, play strange board games this month. And be suspicious of them in general, given past experiences.

[Bailey is holding up their card--the Hanged Man.]

The Hanged Man, upright. Sacrifice and contemplation. A willing surrender for the sake of a new perspective.

Well. Ideally willing. The universe has a way of making you take that pause if it's necessary, like it or not.

One day we will have matching readings. One day.

............my shadow turned into flowers. Sunflowers, to be exact. I have no idea how this matches anything else, but it was kind of annoying having this happen in the middle of my job.

[Usually Takame follows suit with text, but this time of all things he starts singing.]

The tides of the past...

[now featured on Bon's Takame playlist.

... Takame does not sing often, but when he does it is very nice. But there's a sound of him clearing his throat.]

I am, ah, somewhat out of practice but... hm...

not here

[Why does this feel like it's Dan Heng's theme song? And that he's sung it at least three different times?]

[ Molly holds up a card marked HOME & TRAVELER with a thoughtful noise. ]

Normally the cards favor one side or the other but this reading favors both. It rings similar to what the bird boy got. Here's hoping that we're getting a second relaxed month in a row! Boy we need it.

Well, at least your reading is a nice one.

I'll cross off board games as a potential wedding activity.

text: un: trienemybest

[droptheious]

Yeah, I think we need to fully veto board games. Just as a precaution. I do not want a repeat of the other one.

[Lycaon looks a little...puzzled by this prophecy. His brow furrows at the recipe card in his hand.

Wait. A recipe card?]

Top notes: Heavy Cream, Butter
Middle Notes: Garlic, Pepper, Thyme
Base Notes: Eggs, Bella mushrooms, Guyere cheese

I believe this is a recipe for Baked Eggs with Mushrooms and Gruyere. If I had to categorize it as anything, it gives off a homely feeling. One of comfort.

I suppose that is a good sign.

[As the video starts, you can hear Shio in the background going "absolutely the fuck not". Someone saw the board game prophecy.]

First of all, if I find anyone playing weird board games, I'll kill you myself. Second of all, it's flowers.

[Semmelweis props her phone up on her desk and presses record.]

Good evening, on this night the moon has shown me another vision. Visions of glaring sun, scorching heat, dried riverbeds, and dying crops. I must say that if this is a vision of the future a bit odd considering the time of year. But what do I know about the whims of the moon

flowers and parties?

[He's going to literally explode from boredom if he has to do nothing but college prep and band practice this next month.

Either that or he's going to make it everyone else's problem. Like he's doing now.]

[drewthetower]

only some of the visions are that.

we also have "cursed fucking boardgames that can kill people" by the looks of it, and shit about drought.

ignore the eggs, Husk gets that one pretty often

[trailblazingspirit]

[March, dressed in bright yellow, gives an embarrassed cough as she unveils her photo board for the month: eggs. Just. Eggs. So many eggs. Why are there so many eggs.]

...I'm so sorry I bought out all the eggs in the grocery store. I don't know why trance-me needed so many eggs. Can we even get through this many eggs??

Anyway! Uh, watch out for eggs, I guess? I found out about egging houses yesterday so maybe somebody's about to dump a whole lot of eggs, which, gross.

I felt flowers of all sorts, blooming around me. It seemed a good omen.

That said, do not play any mysterious boardgames you happen upon, or I predict a stern talking to in your future.

[drewthetower]

Stern talking to either preceded or followed by an ass kicking.

[unnaturallygreen]

Oh. I didn't realize there was a thriving community of seers here.

[That's...heartwarming, actually.]

...I saw a statue while brushing my teeth. Don't ask what it looked like, I couldn't tell you the details if I tried.

[drewthetower]

Yep, there's a lot of us. August Villareal, if you've seen Blackbird Tarot and Tailoring online, that's me.

[Moving on.]

How do you get your visions?

I cannot help but have some doubts about this. The fae were supposedly nonthreatening as well, and some of us had a terrible time.

[Or maybe it was just you, Zevran. Maybe that was just you.]

voice | un: blackbirdtarot

[drewthetower]

Okay but they're the fae. "Non-threatening" and "not causing problems" are not the same thing with them.

Judging from all the notes here so far, looks like all we have to worry about is allergies.

... And now that I've said that, it's probably going to be worse than just sneezing, isn't it.

[drewthetower]

so who wants to tell Garrus about the board games
