Foreseeing Love In Your Future

FADE IN

​

INT. TAROT READER SHOP.

The listener slips into the shop decorated with various whimsical items and colors.

​

TAROT READER

Hello, what is a lovely royal servant doing in this part of the kingdom?

(chuckling)

I just looked at your uniform. Are you running errands? Only small shops and vendors are around here, you know.

​

​

TAROT READER

I see. I'm honored that my reputation has reached that far. Of course, the Queen has called me to the palace herself for a fortune reading. Perhaps that's why you seem familiar.

​

[...]

​

TAROT READER

Thank you. I try to make my humble work area as cozy as possible. The variety of colors of silk and beads gives an immersive whimsical feel, don't you agree? My name's -insert name-. And yours?

​

[...]

​

TAROT READER

Radiant. It suits you well. So, what do you seek? A remedy? A protection spell?

​

[...]

​

TAROT READER

Sounds perfect, please have a seat. Have you done a fortune reading before?

​

[...]

​

TAROT READER

There's nothing to be nervous about. Allow me to give you a demonstration. I'll do my cards first. Three cards to represent the past, present, and future.

​

They shuffle the deck, split it, lay out the cards on the table, and pick three.

​

TAROT READER

Let's see. As for my past, The Hermit reversed. Well, that’s kind of exposing, isn’t it? But beyond the surface level of being alone, this card can also symbolize reconnecting to nature and oneself, which I have tried to take more time to do lately. As for the present, The Fool Upright. I want to be a bit more spontaneous and easygoing from now on. As for my future… Interesting, I didn't get The Lovers card the last time I checked, how exciting. Well, the future isn't set in stone after all. See? No big deal, are you ready?

​

[...]

​

TAROT READER

I'll shuffle the deck now. I'll cut the deck, can you choose which pile to draw from? Perfect, and now I’ll spread the cards on the table. Please select three.

(pause)

For your past, Strength Upright. Sure, it’s been really tough, but you were confident you could push through it. Or perhaps, you weren’t too confident, but you did it anyways. Either way is admirable. For the present, Wheel of Fortune Upright. Everything may seem like it’s utter chaos, but it looks like your efforts will be rewarded, especially since you’ve been working so hard lately. Hmm, as for your future, The Lovers Upright. We have matching futures.

TAROT READER

Well, love comes in many forms. Self-love, platonic, and romantic, just to name a few. But it's always important to remember that self-love comes first. And you can express it in many different ways like taking for yourself, taking breaks, or giving yourself small rewards. Is there a type of love in particular that you seek?

​

[...]

​

TAROT READER

I see. It's understandable to feel lonely with such a workload. It's important to take time for yourself. Perhaps it was a twist of fate for us to meet. I say we should make the most of it. I'm assuming you're not too familiar with the area, I can show you around if you're interested.

​

[...]

​

TAROT READER

That’s perfect. I'm glad you have some time right now. I am trying to be a little spontaneous after all, so I don't mind tweaking my schedule a little.

​

[...]

​

TAROT READER

No, no. It's no trouble at all. And there’s no need to pay me, getting the chance to meet you is enough, or if you really insist you can buy me something at the shops heheh. I'm excited. It's not exactly an “adventure” since we will still be within city walls, but your perspective on everything can change when you're with someone else. Alright then, let's go!
