Are you scared of hearing one thing new? [OPEN]

Who: The Medicine Seller and you!
When: Early August (flexible)
Where: Near a temple on the Near Shore
What: Fortune telling! Because normal part time jobs are for squares.




It has not escaped the Medicine Seller's notice that so many other shinki have "part time jobs" to make ends meet, but he's never much seen the sense in them. There's no need to tie himself to commitments that could interfere with his ability to react to a crisis far away, or to go to his goddess's side when needed.

Still, a little bit of extra pocket money doesn't seem to him like a terrible idea. So, on one of his frequent jaunts to the Near Shore, the Medicine Seller can be found sitting on a corner near a large shrine, wearing entirely too many layers of gaudily-colored kimono for the sweltering weather without any apparent discomfort, next to a table with three coins on it and a rather beautifully hand-painted sign:

Palm reading and divination, 500 yen.

On spotting a potential customer, the Medicine Seller smiles and beckons them nearer. "Sit, I bid you. I can see you have questions."

In fairness, more or less everyone does, at most points in their lives.

Viktor beamed. He did indeed have questions! Most importantly -

"Wherever did you get those lovely kimono?"

Because yes, the most important thing was obviously the clothes.

Hey man, he's excitable about everything. But he did sit.

"i see! Fortune telling looks fun."

Because yes, he read the sign. And had 500 yen, although he'd grabbed it from the bowl on the table in the temple that morning. He didn't hand it over just yet, though.

"Weee~llll...could you tell me if my favorite kitty is all right? She used to sleep on my bed until my god left."

Important questions, you see. But he did hand over the coin; it was Emizel's anyway.

"Well, she's bright orange and has white socks! And really long whiskers, and she loves to cuddle. She disappeared when my god did, and I just wondered if you could see if she's being taken care of?"

This is very concerning to him, you understand.
