What is Your Typical Day?

[tragedy_abounds]

A typical day? How mundane. I am a Seer, yet you ask for my typical day? Very well, if that's what the Fates have decreed

You do this every day? That sounds awfully complicated, I mean... how do you remember all of it? And what if the meals come at the wrong time one day?

[tragedy_abounds]

It is habit of many years, my dear Professor Lockhart. I do what I must to keep the Inner Self healthy and functioning. I do not think I could live without my Gifts, so it is vital to keep them in order. Trixie is particularly good about being punctual, it is one of the things I prize most about her.

[lockedhearts]

Oh, please... Call me Gil. I'm not a Professor anymore.

And can you really see the future?

[tragedy_abounds]

Thank you, Gil, dear. And you may call me Sibyll.

Yes, I can See the Future. It comes in flashes, in Signs and Portents. It can be such a terrible burden sometimes.

[i_am_fuchsia]

A seer! I wonder what future you might predict for myself, or for my realm of Gormenghast? Do you do readings of such things, Lady Professor?

[tragedy_abounds]

That I do, my dearie, when the Vision strikes me. Would you like a Reading? Or perhaps I can interest you in an even more accurate and detailed form of Divination? Sheep entrails provide absolutely the best answers!

[i_am_fuchsia]

Madam, I would be very interested to hear the words of your gift come from whatever form hones them to their finest clarity. Therefore, I shall let you choose the manner you like best.

(I feel a bit sorry for the sheep, but I suppose it would be hypocritical for me to say nay when we had a mutton stew at luncheon the other day.)

[tragedy_abounds]

The auguries are quite precise. I believe they appreciate being consulted by someone who understands the power of Ritual, such as yourself. There is Unhappiness in your future, but on a personal level. Your kingdom will flourish. At least until, well. That bit isn't quite clear. But I'm sure it can't be that bad. Certainly not fatal.

[jon_r_meyers]

You do readings?

[tragedy_abounds]

Why yes, dear, I do!

The Sight tells me you're a very conflicted young man. In need of guidance. Perhaps I can be of service?

[jon_r_meyers]

Perhaps.

So what does my future tell you?

[tragedy_abounds]

Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

Swords everywhere! Swords are the suit of Air, the intellect. They also mean Pain and Tragedy. The 6 reversed indicates that Problems arise, Problems which you cannot escape. The 8 is the card of bondage, of restriction. And in the last position, the 9 of Swords Predicts horrible Suffering.

Poor dear. I do wish you luck in surviving. It seems to me that you'll need it.
