happy anniversary - and a meme!

[groundrules]

Hi everyone! eastbound stirred from undeath as roughly the world's tiniest game a year ago, and it's all down to everyone's enthusiasm, sleuthing and morbid sense of humour that it's still alive, sometimes braying and kicking.

To celebrate...

FORTUNE FAVOURS THE DEAD


A bevy of aggressive, loud and gregarious fortune tellers has inundated Ke-Waihu, seeking to exercise their... gifts for coin before departing by sea. To spread the word, they hand out a few free, unsolicited fortunes to hapless bystanders:

i. List your character(s), one per comment, and one or more funny, outlandish or depressing fortunes they've been told ( 'You will marry a six-headed frog by midnight,' 'A stubborn infant will bring your end with a toothpick'... )

ii. Comment around to help with, sympathise, or... point and laugh at everyone else's (mis)fortune. Spam vigorously.

iii. Up to you & your thread partner, if you want to make these conversations game canon and ice break some CR!

Ah.


( Par......... tisanship. )

[flirtatiousdancer]

Yes.

[downswing]

Learn his courage.

[flirtatiousdancer]

He is an excellent teacher.

[downswing]

May he serve.

[flirtatiousdancer]

He's done his service. Let him be free to do as he pleases.

[downswing]

Who bars his path?

[flirtatiousdancer]

Who hasn't tried?

[downswing]

We do not stand his enemies.

[flirtatiousdancer]

His enemies will be dealt with.

[downswing]

Where are they found?

[flirtatiousdancer]

Here, they are harder to pin down. Back where we should be...the Window of Heaven and Prince Jin need to be...managed.

[downswing]

Then here, breathe.

[flirtatiousdancer]

How can I when things keep trying to hurt him?

[downswing]

What ails him?

[flirtatiousdancer]

The curses everyone seems to be faced with, though we seem to have broken ours. I don't trust it.

[downswing]

At the heart of curses, malice. The seed lingers long.

You are right to fear.
