Okay now let's see what's up with that spooky fortune teller.

Gazzene, do you need a stool? Or a couple of Phone Books?

I am not short!

>>149277
We approach the creepy Nocitome. She stares at me with her piercing eyes for a long time.

Murdelp: "... What is the PROBLEM with you?! I've been looking at you since you laughed! You've been staring at Gazzene ever since!"

The Nocitome giggles... Or at least that is what she is trying to do. It's so high-pitched...

???: "You gotta be careful, youngins! You never know what will happen!"

...

Compliment her hat. She may be creepy, but damn.

>>149330
You're short. Don't worry, some of our best work was with short people. Also, ask her to elaborate.

Tell her not to worry. Though we look like tough dangerous ruffians, we are really only here to shop and we don't want any trouble.

"If you have some vague cryptic thing to taunt me with, spit it out already! If THAT was supposed to be it, go find a new line of work."

"Oh! Now you're saying that? I wonder how much damage you are planning to do."
"What, I..."

Murdelp: "That's enough! I won't let you harass Gazzene like that! If you have anything to say, just spit it out already!"
Gazzene: "Murdelp... I..."
Murdelp: "Like you said, we're here to shop. If this one isn't selling anything here, then we shouldn't hang around with her!"

???: "Ah, where are my manners? I surely don't want people to go away, do I?"
"I am Meta, a fortune-teller. I can read you from a mile and see what will happen to you! All for a measly fee, I can tell you your fate."

Shit, this woman knows about us and what we REALLY are. Fuck fuck fuuuuuuuu...

No we are not an internet image board, what are you talking about Gazzene? Don't listen to her. She's dumb. Oh fuck I got a question to ask. "Will a man be castrated or at least kicked in the balls sometime this adventure? Particularly a sergal if you can get that specific?"

start laughing, don't stop until you are out of sight.

>>149396
How much is the fee?

>>149396
I'm going to test her out. The number is 183. Don't tell Meta that.

"How much do you charge for your services?"
"Just as much as you want to know your future."

>>149403
"I am thinking of a number..."
"... And I am thinking of not playing your silly game. Lass, you can't 'have a trial period' of my services."
"Besides, I do not read minds. I read your fate."

>>149405
Hrm. Okay, let's give it a shot. A little foreknowledge can't hurt.

Sure, why not. Unless you have a reason you don't want details of your life revealed Gazzene?

>>149405
ask the catboi. its the quickest way to know if he is either bullshitting or if catboi is alive.

>>149405
Find out the fate of Miyaka. Your stone exists, therefor it has a fate. If you can get her to be specific (not likely with her fortune-teller getup) see if you can find out what can wake Miyaka back up.

Oh god. Her name is Meta.

... I do not wish to know my own fate. I am more concerned about what happened to Miyaka... Though I suppose I could also ask for the catboy's fate, for Lady Sanya's sake.

"Can you tell us about the fate of our friend?"
"Where is this friend of yours?"
"... Uhh... He's... Not here anymore."
"I cannot read the fate of no one. If he's deceased, then you already know his fate."

"... What about a stone? I mean, it's a magical stone that has a mind of its own and is able to communicate with us."
"You are talking about the stone on your crown, yes?"
"Yes... How'd you know?"
"I can know everything if I want to."

Meta focuses her freezing glare on Miyaka, and the crystal ball in front of her begins to darken.

"Ohohoho! This is usually the image of a being that no longer exists!"

Meta lets out a short cackle. I do not like her reaction.

"... But this stone... It is not exactly 'dead'."

>>149767
Go on, then.

Also, do you not really want to know your fate, or do you not want us to know your fate?

Suddenly, the ball begins to emit some noise. It sounds like a murmur, but I cannot really tell much. What I do here is...

"... of this! Wake up to your own senses..."
"... promised me you'd bring her back! Why..."
"... I cannot forgive you for what you've done to..."

... I see an image of a gem.

I'm sorry... It's just that I am a bit frightened to know what would happen to me later on... Even if it's false...

The images on the crystal ball disappear.

"You don't have to pay anything. Now scram."
"What? But I thought you wouldn't read the fate of anyone without a fee?"
"Don't worry. You'll be paying soon enough."

That's generally not a good sign in my experience with diviners.

Because it needed a dramatic sting, so very badly.

This never works, but ask for a clarification. He'll probably just disappear on you.

Goddamnit. Just go.

What is Meta implying here? I want to know!

Gazzene: "What do you mean, Meta?! I have a lot of gold with me! I can pay you every piece of it for that fate!"
Meta: "Ha! I did not say you have to pay me for telling you the fate of your precious stone. Trust me, you will be paying much soon for knowing."

Meta disappears into the darkness of her own place.

Murdelp: "... You don't exactly believe her, do you?"
Gazzene: "I don't know, Murdelp... I don't know what to believe anymore."
Murdelp: "... I'm sorry for bringing you to this place. Let's get you back to the Inn."

Gazzene, what is this about?

>>149785
Yeah, that's what I thought. Well, we're not taking that. Get Murdelp to boost you into the window- we're getting real answers, none of this mumbo-jumbo.

I TOLD YOU SHOPPING FOR SUPPLIES WAS A BETTER IDEA

WHY DOES NOONE EVER LISTEN

HOW WILL WE GO ON WITHOUT ADZES?

Amina: "... Are you okay, Gazzene?"

wat. is the stone speaking to sanya's dad?

...will this stone get corrupted next?

The diamond-shaped stone is one of the 5 stones. We have no idea what its attribute is, though. We have Knowledge, Wisdom, Love, and Courage. What else is there?

CAPTAIN PLANET

>>149993
hope.

>>150013

HEART!

>>150075
We've got a Love Charm already.

I guess Hope makes some sense, but uh... that's basically the same thing as Courage isn't it?

What about Honor?
