The Two-Tailed Crocodile
(Start Date January 1 - January 18)
The dice have chosen Wilting as the method of divination for those under the influence of The Two-Tailed Crocodile.
Well, the old-time favourite, wilting, involves drying out a small mammal, tied up and left under the sun, then observing it's wrinkles and various bodyparts. Well, the eyes have crumpled up nicely this time, this definetly means good success in financial deals. There's a map on the back, it seems to be of some suggestiveness, you should look in Howondaland for your gardening needs, yes, that's it. Lips, well, these are the hardest to read, the straight lines and dried blood indicates jealousy with a happy ending..but beware, the left corner of the mouth has a small rip, you might become stalked.
The Misshapen Turban
(Start Date January 19)
The dice have chosen Demon Summoning as the method of divination for those born under The Misshapen Turban. Quite irregularly and unexpectedly, just as I bend over the cauldron, a pink puff of smoke booms into my eyes and suddenly the room is filled with pink, giggling devils, oddly wearing overly short skirts and holding some strange paper tufts. As I inquire about the veils of the future, they strike up a song: "Gimme a W! Gimme an O! Gimme an E! Gimme a blank! Gimme a I! Gimme a S! Gimme a blank!". Suddenly, silence spreads. Intense discussion, oddly on the subject of grammar is overheard by me. "Gimme a H! Gimme a E!". "No, that was S-H-E, dinkwinkle!" "Are you completely dinglydong, they use male ones here!" One of the more sensible-looking ones winks me happily and says: "Take nothing of it except trouble for the House." With another poof of pink smoke and a few sparks of DOOM, they go as soon as they had come.
Just A Random Cluster of Stars, Dumbass
(Start Date January 20 - February 18)
The dice have chosen Sandpouring as the method of divination for the children of Just A Random Cluster Of Stars, Dumbass. Ah yes, we have a rather nice jar of the dead sand from beneath the Djelian Palace for today, it should arrange itself quite nicely. Well, as for the family, I'll throw a handful into the air, then stand below it, holding my eyes open, then sand falls into my eyes, blinding me, and then the visions start. Ah...yes..some grainy outlines, slightly blurred, I seem to make out a young girl, yes, holding a sandy lollipop and crying, being buried under some more sand...Don't get involved in anything, lest you be steamrolled upon. And what goes for your career, yes, we spill sand into a tortoise's shell, then watch it's walking patterns. Woah, it ran very fast indeed, and straight into a wall. I see great success! Don't be scared off by anything!
The Lonely Sock
(Start Date February 20 - October 12)
The dice have chosen Riftgrabbing as the method of divination for the seekers of The Lonely Sock.
As I walk up to the Institute, I get a nagging feeling that something might go seriously wrong. But there it is, along with the eerie rifts glowing happily in every direction. Time for some fun. As you all know, I just grab the first item from the rift and pull it back. The first item is a tiny fan, seemingly out of papyrus fibers, finely done. You'll get a generous offer soon. The flowers on the off side might indicate some effort but might equally mean betrayal - take care. However the second item looks so much more promising, a string bag of marbles, tied shut. This is a certain sign of adventures, very profitable and not too dangerous, also a raid to the nearby village, mostly at the nunnery and pub there seems to take place soon. The third item..well, seems to be another rift. This can mean change, but I'm very unsure - better to quit poking around in there for today.
The Upside-Down Ibis
(Start Date October 13 - December 31)
The dice have chosen Vivisection as the method of divination for those in the house of The Upside-Down Ibis.
Ah yes, the ever-elusive Klatchian crystal knife, I borrowed it from a cousin-in-law, very nice person, she really was. So, let's get down to business. Thrusting the knife into the chest of the sweet feline reveals unpunctured lungs - you won't be a fish out of water (hehe) in quite a while. On the other hand, changes may be difficult to force through. The heart seems to be equally healthy, so this means awkward business success. A broken rib though - family is about to break apart. This can be violent, so take heed and tread lightly. Moreover, the spine seems a bit bent in a strange angle so keep your head clear or it might cost you your life. Mostly it'll be okay though.
