I'll take this one.

Fluffy, he's been trying to find a way to work the NSRA into the storyline without letting the NSRA become the storyline. [/delusionsofgrandeur]

That dickhead says he's already got the NSRA worked into the storyline, but he can't figure out what the Ocean has anything to do with anything.

What a moronic asshole.

Oi! He wants you back sooner or later.  Now, are we going to do this the easy way or the hard one, where I have to beg and plead and be a general embarassment?

Aren't you glad it was real and not a scary dream caused by overdosing on chocolate? (As if a chocolate overdose were even possible.)

There's no such thing as a chocolate overdose...

I know.

Dear Bella,
why?


Sincerely,

I'll take this one.

Dear Sepia,

Because She said so.

Bella,

Is the girl I went on a date with last night trying to manipulate me, or am I paranoid because I'm manipulating her?

[LMNO]

As it turns out, Demonica is right, I did leave my cymbal stand at the show.  

Now, will I get it back before this Sundays show, where I open for Jarboe?



PS to Kung - i.e. stands for "id est" ("that is").  
e.g. stands for "exempli gratia" ("for example").

Bella, will I get good scores in my exams, despite not going to the lectures or revising much?

Dear Scribe,

I pulled three cards and two out of three were upright. That means you'll get fair to middin' grades despite not going to lectures or doing much revising. The one reversed card is the Four of Cups, which in this deck, shows a young person sitting on the floor of a box or a very small room and drawing on a large piece of paper. She is tired, with rings around her eyes, and is surrounded by cups of coffee and tea. This card signifies boredom and stagnation, and also advises one to seek a fresh approach. In other words, you'll do alright, but would get even better scores if you found a new approach to your studying and revising.

[Cain]

Thanks Bella.  I actually started a new method today, so here's hoping!

[LMNO]

Bella, your deck is really cool. Did you design that yourself?

Thanks. I love this deck because the images make more sense to me than any other I've tried, but I didn't design it. It's the Phantasmagoric Theater Tarot by Graham Cameron. Here's a pic of the box and the Temperance card that showed up in Sepia's reading the other morning:

Dear LMNO,

Demonica was hoping she was wrong, this time and so was I. She says that someone picked your stand up and put it somewhere. She can't tell if they took it home or merely put it someplace backstage. But at the moment, it's somewhere kind of dark - which is why she can't see where it is. You'll have to talk to the people who cleaned up to get it back.

Congrats on the show this coming up weekend. That's cool.

[Bella]

Bella,

Is the girl I went on a date with last night trying to manipulate me, or am I paranoid because I'm manipulating her?

Dear Zurtok,

Probably a little bit of both. Only one card out of three is upright and it indicates to me that if she's manipulating you, it's out of habit and she isn't doing it intentionally.

[Bella]

I'll take this one.

Dear Sepia,

Because She said so.

Dear Sepia,

This is of course, the correct answer.   Thanks, AC.
