---

A - fortune telling option, expect talk of love

[ Looking to have your romance fortune told? Because Pearl Fey has a little table in the arcades where she sits at with a crystal ball and some tarot cards. All of which are bullshit, but she is an actual spirit medium, so maybe her fortunes aren't as full of shit as they could be?

If you walk up, you may see her chatting with another teenaged girl, magician Trucy Wright, telling her her fortune for the fifteenth time that day. Or if she's alone she might call out to you, with a smile, ] Hi, would you like to know what your future holds?

[ It’s possible to get your fortune told while Trucy’s there to commentate as well, of course, sitting on the side of Pearl’s table and kicking her heels. Just specify. Trucy may or may not provide glittersmoke for dramatic fortune-telling moments if included. ]

B - at the party store / magic show

[ And then at the party supplies store, Pearl is behind the counter and Trucy is… sitting on the counter. She appears to be regaling Pearl with increasingly silly magic tricks, and may at one point pull out Mr. Hat to hand Pearl a dropped CereVice. You can approach Trucy alone about her spectacular tricks, or if you really want to buy party supplies you could speak to Pearl alone, too. If you don’t just talk to both of them as Pearl bursts out laughing (or beforehand, during any number of dumb magic tricks). ]

Why thank you, Mr. Hat! [ With a little smile. ]

[ Trucy’s lips don’t move so much as a hair, but there’s a reply in her “Mr. Hat” voice: ] No problem, Miss Pearl!

C - dress shopping

[ On the 22nd, the two teens are out on the hunt for dresses for that sweet fancy party coming up. Catch them searching the racks for dresses in blues, purples, pinks, etc, or trying on said dresses. It’s possible to have either of them come out of the dressing room and ask: ]

What about this one? [ It’s usually directed at the other girl, but maybe they didn’t realize you were there and accidentally polled a stranger since the other one wandered off. Or maybe you just want to give an opinion. They will, after all, try on a few obvious “why would you evers” for fun (as evidenced by the laughter)...such as the following: Trucy, Pearl, and Trucy and Pearl...they’re not being serious, but you’re free to think these choices are 100% serious. They’ll also be trying on various pieces of jewelry and different shoes, although again some of their choices are clearly chosen just to make the other one crack up. Productive, ladies.

They can also be caught gossiping if you come upon them at just the right time... ]

No, he hasn’t said he’s going with anyone yet...but I’m sure we can get him a date! [ Trucy. Pearl’s quick enough to respond with: ]

What about Mystic Maya...? [ Before they both notice you... ]

D - wildcard

[ If none of those work, feel free to run into the girls on anywhere there are stores to shop in on the 22nd as they search for dresses/shoes/accessories (they may also stop to eat lunch and the like, gossiping wherever) or wherever on the 21st. They’re both fairly friendly and don’t mind being flagged down at random. ]

Comments

[swordboning]

[Simple enough. Archer pulls up a sleeve and holds out his right hand. Which is well worn, the hand of someone who uses swords and bows. And also cooks a whole bunch.]

Here.

[spiritpearls]

[ Pearl will take his hand, and trace any lines she sees with her other hand without touching the palm itself. She's being Very Serious about it. ] Hm, yes...

Your fate line is very strong. I see that you have... a great destiny.

[stagewright]

[ THIS SEEMS LIKE A GOOD TIME FOR GLITTER SMOKE AND CONFETTI. ]

Oooh! What great luck!

[ .......#helping. ]

[swordboning]

I don't mean to be too rude but my story is over and done with. Unless, of course, you're referred to whatever happens in this place. Then that much is fair game.

[He'd shrug but that would pull his hand away. Though he kind of hates his previous great destiny, unfortunately. Which is why he's where he is today.]

[spiritpearls]

I cannot say where your destiny will take you, only that it will be great. And I see more than that... [ She peers at his palm again, then looks over to her crystal ball. Then back again. ] I see... a special someone. A fated love.

[stagewright]

[ What did Archer expect when approaching two teenage girls, honestly. Trucy has heard Pearl give about a thousand love fortunes - what other kind is there, to be honest? - and through methods known only to her, she makes a glowing heart appear in the crystal ball.

...Seriously, she's not sharing her methods. ]

When will he meet this love?!

[swordboning]

Obviously. The question is if this person is 'the one' or if I should dump the person I'm with now while I have the chance.

[Going along with it because....two teenage girls.]

[spiritpearls]

[ Trucy's effects are the star of this show. ]

Hm... [ She closes her eyes, and clutches her aqua magatama while still holding onto Archer's hand. ] I see that you have met your fated love already... but I cannot see who they are! They could be the person you're with now... or someone else...

[ Pearl does not want to be liable for any break-ups here. ]

But I will say that you must listen to your heart, otherwise you will never know.

[stagewright]

[ Meanwhile, Trucy thinks Pearl's fortune-telling is great. Even though...it's pretty much all made up...whatever!!! ]

A great place to find out might be the winter ball! Who knows, your true love could be revealed to you there! For sure, I mean.

[ The pink heart in the crystal ball changes to blue snowflakes falling... ]

[swordboning]

The winter ball, huh?

[Nodding along with this.]

Let's say that the person I consider my true love is also dating a second person. Don't worry, it's something we're all okay with. How should I treat this upcoming ball, Miss Future Teller?

[spiritpearls]

Magician Trucy is right, the winter ball is the answer! [ But wow Trucy all her stuff is 100% legit obviously. ]

Um... [ Why is this something they're all okay with, are they just planning to swing-date around?? ] A dance! Dancing at the winter ball, that is the key that will unlock your fate in love. You must dance with your true love, the person they're dating, and... 10 others! Your path will be clear by the... stroke of midnight on the night of the ball!

[ Just don't lose your glass slippers, Archer. ]

[stagewright]

[ So legit. Trucy expects to run into that fated love on a white horse any day now!!! ]

There you have it! A fortune straight from the amaaaaaaaaaaaazing Pearl Fey! So it has to come true!

[ watch trucy ninja up to glitterbomb him at the ball to make sure magic happens watch her but no, she claps her hands, thrilled. ]

She's got this fairy godmother stuff down pat!

[swordboning]

A total of twelve girls. Fine, I'm up for that.

[He totally would, just to tick off Rin and see what she would do.]

So if I'm understanding right, the slight of hand girl is Trucy and the girl with the random buns is Pearl.

[spiritpearls]

Or boys, if you prefer.

[ Let your heart decide, Archer. ]

My buns aren't random... but yes, that's right. I'm Pearl Fey. [ Small head bow. ] And this magician is the great and magnificent Trucy Wright. And with our powers combined, I guarantee my fortunes are 100% verifiable truth.

[ And if they're wrong then you clearly did something wrong and changed your fate. Clearly. ]

[stagewright]

Either or!

[ Chipper agreement. ]

And we definitely have a 100% success rate! [ With all the combined fortunes they have told!

...

This one. This is the only combined fortune they have told so far. BUT HEY. ]

[swordboning]

I'm sure I don't even have to guess about one of you being related to another Fey.

[Now he can shrug.]

What do you two want in payment?

[spiritpearls]

You've met Mystic Maya? She's my cousin.

[ Considers... ] Two ice cream cones, please. [ This how you run a successful business, right. ]

[stagewright]

Strawberry-vanilla swirls!

[ THIS IS DEFINITELY THE KEY TO RUNNING A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS. ]

[swordboning]

What a low goal.

[Reaching into his red cloak and pulling out-!

-two coupons. Mostly for one free meal at some place called 'Golden Archers'.]

Here. I'll make you ice cream if you stop by. And yes, I know that idiot.

[spiritpearls]

Well, I mean you could pay more if you wanted to.

[ Sweet, coupon get. ]

Thank you, and co- what do you mean idiot? [ Surely you did not just call Mystic Maya an idiot. ]

[stagewright]

Oooh, "Golden Archers"! That reminds me a little of something else...we can go together, Pearls!

[ BUT YEAH, YOU DID JUST CALL MAYA AN IDIOT, WOW MAN. Pearl's got this, she can deck grown men, Trucy will just eye Archer and wait for an explanation. ]

[swordboning]

She tried to steal food which I was delivering to my 'fated other'. I can only think of one word for that.

And yes, that's my place.

[spiritpearls]

Steal...? Oh no, what a terrible misunderstanding.

[ Because clearly Mystic Maya wouldn't steal on purpose. She hopes. ]

[stagewright]

[ MAY...BE... ]

Er, she didn't succeed, right? So it's water under the bridge!

[swordboning]

For you two, intent has nothing to do with it?
