Tarot cards?

Torii: Sadness will follow you.
Katya: You will make bad decisions.

Or something like that...

Chrys - the Three of Cups.

Dia - the Hermit.

Dora - the Nine of Cups.

Luce - Temperance.

Tasia - the Three of Swords.

Am I the only one who doesn't know Tarot cards?

Hmm. That's pretty interesting; I hadn't thought of either like that, but you're right, Gio.

Well, goodnight, guys.

Best I can come up with on short thought. There might be better ones.

Ooh, I like that

Tarot Naomi. Be afraid.

I'm bored to death. I should have recovered enough to participate this weekend.

We'll see. Meanwhile, I never want to see another Jello cup as long as I live.

Goodnight PL Peeps.

Can't wait to see you back, fennecy one. *removes all Jello from your vicinity*

Nope. I wonder if NVE would be interested in incorporating this into that PL game which he's mentioned developing?

That was my only IC post for the day. Sorry, Peeps. I thought I'd catch up on stuff, but all I feel like doing is sleeping.

Eight of Swords is traditionally depicted as a bound and blindfolded woman trapped between eight swords sticking out of the ground within an uncomfortable closeness to her, as if in a trap or punishment. The card represents one being in an uncomfortable, "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation, as if the woman tries to escape, she would have to maneuver through the swords blindfolded and likely receive several wounds along the way, but if she stays put, she's still trapped in the bad situation. If she truly wants to set herself free, she's just going to have to knuckle down and take the sword cuts, just like anyone who draws the card learns that if they ever want to escape the bad situation they're in, they are also going to have to make some uncomfortable changes along the way.
Likewise, Torii is definitely a girl who is living a sticky life, full of sadness, frustration, and confusion, what with her current struggles. However she at last partly puts herself there due to her own stubbornness, as Torii tends to be rather evasive or even hostile toward compromise, change, or seeing things from any perspective that deviates too far from her own (her yelling at Hans over the bullies, her insisted dislike of supernaturals despite being friends with the majority of the supernaturals, her argument with Bran, etc.). Torii wants to live a respectable life that she is in control of, however control and respect are not things that are earned by vehemently staying put in your comfort zone and insisting that the world change for you rather than you for it. She has not yet accepted that she must endure the sting of the swords if she ever wants to be free.

The cups court is a part of the minor arcana that is centered around the element of water and all it's symbolism; intuition, inner thought, beauty, luxury, emotion, and artistic feelings. The Queen of Cups is a beautiful, introspective woman who is very in tune with her own emotions and the emotions of those around her, a dreamy, creative, sensual woman with a deep understanding of herself. However the Queen also has a tendency to think with her emotions rather than her head, causing her to also be fickle and irrational at times. She often puts imagination before actual action or responsibility, and can be easily swayed by influences. She is kind and cares for others, but isn't always willing to take on much trouble for them.
Because Katya's past involved her being under the constant pressing thumb of her mother, of course what she focuses most on in her current life is doing what she feels good doing, fully indulging in the privilege of knowing herself and her desires, a privilege that she was denied for so long. Her elite background ties in with the luxurious, artistic theme of the cups court, and she does to some extent pick up on what others are thinking or feeling (like Torii). However, Katya doesn't always think things through while pursuing her desires, often neglecting or disregarding the needs and feelings of others (such as Dora, Yoshi, Torii, her baby) in the process. It is an understandable position, as her mother's strict nature never allowed Katya to learn about moderation of her own feelings and needs outside of them. Should this be tempered, she can become a sensitive, maternal, ladylike figure.

I don't know what Tarot Tsu would be.

It's official. We need an adventure involving cyborg, four-armed, bipedal space weasels.

Preferably named Hobart.

Don't tempt me!

Looks like this is still going strong. I'm thinking of maybe rejoining.

Still? It's PL, crazy is its foundation
