@Gwally - either that or you are the most predictable

*The perfume and incense combines to lift Gwalchmai into an ecstatic state. Soon, visions begin swirling through his mind, and he clearly sees the future of one of his fellow SYMers. In a haunting monotone, he recounts what he saw.*

In the weeks before her wedding, the male community of SYM rose up as one to try and defeat this hated usurper who had dared claim her heart and steal her away from their happiest fantasies. They pooled their money and hired all manner of assassins to accomplish this vile deed, but to no avail. Vivien charmed even the assassins, and her wedding went off without a hitch. As wedding presents, she received all manner of cute and furry animals, which made her so happy that she hardly noticed that she won the lottery the next day. Using the money to purchase a large country estate, she later became world-renown as a breeder of the cutest, fluffiest, and most cuddly of bunnies, puppies, and kittens.

Yshania surveyed the room, various tables held multitudes of divining tools...placing her finger on her chin she wondered which to play with first...Aha! Seating herself on the velvet floor cushion, she adjusted the tassles from beneath her ankles and settled her self. Placing her hand on the globe, she felt it cold to the touch...raising her hand a breath above she noticed the swirl coalesce into ghostly features. Closing her eyes, she mentally re-downloaded the pics from Grunty's thread then smiled...'yes' she whispered, beckoning Bloodstalker to sit beside her...for a moment he appeared disappointed, he had been hanging around the tarot table hoping for poker...she assumed. Anyway:

"Gazing into my crystal ball I see...no!! no! that can't be!" She closed her eyes for effect, inwardly smiling at BS' concerned expression "I see tickets to an NSync concert...you are...you are...a groupy?? No!! No! you meet a groupy! that's it" she stifled a grin as he shifted excitedly in his seat "you...hang on! you are a session musician...no! a lighting technician with desires...I see success, I see lighting technicians are allowed backstage! I see a star on a door, a private bar, many beers and a private barwench...I see a casting couch...and you! you are on the casting couch!"

LOL

My inner eye is unfortunately severely myoptic - may any of our more talanted fortune tellers reveal what my future holds?

So, BS gets a barmaid and casting couch and I get some scantilly-clad nymphs? I see the future's so bright, we have to shades.

I think I can handle the lurking doctor. Maybe those nymphs will be found on a trip to BC, Canada?

The mists swirl and reform generating vision upon vision. At first, nothing seems clear, but then.....in a sudden rush all becomes disclosed. Sleepy appears cozily ensconsed in a gently swinging hammock. the scene appears idyllic; palm trees rustle softly in the tropical breeze, an azure blue ocean laps uon the shore.....and a tall, well-chilled Pina Colada sits within easy reach of the drowsing form nestled in the hammock.......

But wait.......advancing upon the unsuspecting Sleep......are a group of marauding marines......and given the unusual warmth of the climate....they are not simply pantless.......

*Dragon Wench again consults her crystal ball. Strangely, it has taken on the appearance of a strobe light.......and a leopard skin -clad woman apears within the shimmering orb....... Is that....no it couldn't be...Yes, it is C Elegans. Proudly she strolls through her latest acquisition ... a trendy discotheque located in the heart of Amsterdam's red light district.

Her tour is not complete however.....until she forays into a small room situated far away from the flashing, neon lights.....As she opens the doors....we see numerous semi-comatose figures sprawled on couches and cushions. C. Elegans smiles proudly into this opium den of hers....for research purposes only, of course !

I think there might have been one slumbering in your opium den.....he was probably the one dreaming about naked nymphs.....

How Fortunate the Fortune Teller?

The clouds continue to befuddle Gwalchmai. He stumbles around searching for something solid that would ground him. He finds it with his forehead and is knocked senseless and sprawling. Soon the images flood his brain and he tells of them....

Dragon Wench pushes the glasses up on her nose - she doesn't need them, she only wears them for the style and the image. A stray strand of long blond hair falls in front of her face. Absently, she tucks the strand behind her ear and glances out the window of her office. College students hurry across the green grass of the campus or sit lazily under trees with open books. With a happy sigh, she turns back to the paper she is grading, an essay entitled "Female Empowerment Through History: or Why We Rule the World." She smiles and thinks that she may finally be getting through to them...

Soon there is a knock on her door. In walks her teaching assistant, a young graduate student with powerful shoulders and a boyish grin. “Good,” she thinks to herself, “I could use a distraction right now.” Out loud she says, “Ah, Sven. I’m glad you are here. I seem to have dropped my pencil under the desk. Be a Dear, and fetch it for me?”

A beguiling, husky voice reaches out....offering a vision of the future.


Yes, you guessed it Welcome to SYM's tent of fortunes, a place where destiny can be revealed. All it requires is a clear eye and concentration to be able to perceive what might await your fellow symers.

To begin I will share what I see for
Alright hit me with your best shot Cleo.
