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!

I'll make it comfortable for us, I promise.

[flirtatiousdancer]

You've already shown me how good you are at that!

[eternallywandering]

I was just distracting you before, Lao Wen.

[flirtatiousdancer]

You aren't planning to tonight?

[eternallywandering]

If you want me to, of course I will.

[flirtatiousdancer]

A-Xu. I always want you.

[eternallywandering]

I know the feeling. It's like...

Coming home when I'm with you.

[flirtatiousdancer]

Yes. I can breathe when we're together.

[eternallywandering]

I won't keep you waiting, love.

[flirtatiousdancer]

You are worth the wait.

[eternallywandering]

Funny, I was thinking the same thing.

[flirtatiousdancer]

Do I ever keep my A-Xu waiting?

[eternallywandering]

We spent a lot of years not knowing each other.

[flirtatiousdancer]

That's...different.

[eternallywandering]

I felt something was missing.

[flirtatiousdancer]

I've been missing things all my life.

[eternallywandering]

Not anymore. Tell me what you want to do and we'll do it.

[flirtatiousdancer]

I do. Always. My A-Xu only gets truth from me.

[eternallywandering]

I haven't kept anything from you.

[flirtatiousdancer]

A-Xu~

[eternallywandering]

You listened to all of it. You were so good to me.

[flirtatiousdancer]

Always.

[eternallywandering]

And I will be good to you. Always.

[flirtatiousdancer]

Just stay with me. Always. That's enough.

[eternallywandering]

You found me. I'm not going to let you go.
