I'm Dreaming of the Life I Once Loved

Who: Meridiana ([personal profile] occultigen) and YOU!
Where: Goldenrod City
When: Anytime during the month of February!
Summary: What do you get when you cross a Victorian-era seeress with a pack of tarot cards? There's one easy way to find out...
Rating: PG!
Log:

[It's not particularly nice out these days, but at the very least it's not snowing most of the time and the weather's usually above freezing, and even on the worse days of the month, with the benefit of a couple of Fire-type Pokemon (and a few who happen to know Sunny Day) it's not altogether difficult to keep warm in spite of the chill in the air.

Which is why, at various times during the month of February, you might just see Meridiana bundled up and sitting at one of the outdoor tables of a cafe in Goldenrod, facing the street and playing with a pack of tarot cards. Every so often, she'll make a face and shake her head at a card she turns up; most of the time, though, she's shifting and arranging them with practiced and familiar ease. She's done this sort of reading before, in a similar way, and made a little bit of money at it and helped give passerby some guidance into their circumstances and futures, so all in all it's a reasonable enough way of passing the time on a quiet afternoon.

On days when she's out, she's got a little handmade sign up to advertise her business (which her Tropius is helpfully displaying for her), so if you happen to be passing by and would like to sit and have your fortune told — or even just stop by to chat a while — feel free to pause and say hello!]



[OOC: Okay, so! This is an open log for people in Goldenrod who'd like to stop in and interact with Meridiana, either just to hang out or to use her fortune-telling as a hook! As a standard disclaimer, I am not anywhere close to being an expert at this myself, so I'll be using this website for any readings she's asked to give and just going with whatever it returns; if you'd prefer to handwave something or for character/plot reasons would prefer to have her give your character a specifically-tailored prediction or result (that is, specific cards, a particular overall meaning, whatever), feel free to let me know and we can swing it that way as well! And of course, you're not obligated to ask for one; you're just as welcome to chat and hang out with her instead!

This log is good for the entire month of February, so please give me a rough date of when a thread is taking place on your starter, along with anything else I might need to know before we get rolling!]

hashtagafreakingghost: no turning around (we're back where we started)

[...]

...Then how...do I find that hope? Do the cards say anything about that? It's s-so hard...to...process it, o-or to- think about him [The King of Cups; Josh] or to...forgive myself.
hashtagafreakingghost: another trend goes out of season (we lose control of the moment)

I... I just...got here...earlier this month. Everyone's been s-so nice, but I-I don't...I don't have anyone I can talk to about this.

[Her shoulders sag and she tries to keep herself from going any more to pieces.]

I'm sorry. I-I'm sorry. You sh-shouldn't have to deal with all of this.
hashtagafreakingghost: the answer in your eyes (i saw you in a photograph)

[personal profile] hashtagafreakingghost 2016-02-26 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
I... Not really, but... There's, um...a guy named Jimmy? He's flying me back to...Cherrygrove City, later today.
hashtagafreakingghost: in the light you leave behind (i'm just a shadow)

[She sighs and nods very slightly.]

If...you could call him, then... Yes, that'd be...very nice, thank you, um. Sorry, for all this.
