Io tugged slightly at the bandages around his neck, seeming almost flustered, "Ah... I see. I'm not sure why anyone would want to..."

@millet: Purposely ignoring the suggestive tone, Io shook his head slightly, "He has a more demanding job... And he already does so much for me. I feel I'd be taking advantage of his kindness if I expected wake up calls, as well." Io smiled faintly, although it was unclear if there was any joy in it.

@unicorn: Io gives you a welcoming smile, "It's nice to have you with me again. I apologize for keeping you waiting... And it can be so miserable this time of year, the seasons become so temperamental when it's their turn to change." He signals for you to join him for a cup of tea, "Luckily, my tent is always warm. The candles aren't just for decoration, after all..."

Io walks in with a troubled expression, almost seeming ashamed of something as he steps from his tent, "I... Apologize for the delay this morning. I seemed to have slept in..." He gently rubs the back of his neck as he signals for everyone to join him in the tent, "I don't see my own future that well... And setting alarm clocks can be... difficult."
Shaking his head, he offered the crowd a soft smile, "But that's now the past... Let's look into the future, shall we?"

@millet: "Your cat would like a reading as well, it seems... I've never tried it on a paw before." He rubs his chin for a moment, tilting his head before smiling softly, "Ah. Tell her she will have a nice nap today."

@shadami: "Correct. They won't all be exactly as depicted, as most of us have unique fingerprints, but they are the reoccurring patterns you'll find on nearly everyone."

"I apologize for anyone suffering at the moment.... I suppose it can be hard to see without a magnifying glass..." Io tilts his head to the side slightly, whispering softly, "It's been a while since I've been able to, so it's hard to remember..."
@constance: "Clever..." Io smiles patiently, shaking his head gently, "But you should know by now, some things can be seen without eyes..."

With the start of a new day, Io opens his tent once again, nodding to the crowd that was beginning to form,
"Hello, are you ready for another reading? Please, join me."

@mousy: You'll enjoy what he has in store. He offers a soft smile.
@dragoness129: There are rather elusive signs, aren't they? They elected only to stay in our skies for a short time before another took over.

@rallaa: You're free to hold your skepticism, my intent isn't to change your mind.
As long as you are amused in some form, I would say I'm doing my job well.
He smiles faintly.

TODAY'S READING: ASTROLOGY
“We are the children of the stars…” Io speaks softly, holding his hands together, “We are born of their very dust, beneath their watchful gaze. They advise us, they guide us… But do you know how to hear their calling voices?”
Io pulls back for a moment, before gracefully unfurling a giant star map across his table, “Let us begin by identifying who your guardians are, and what it means to be their child. We will also explore what they say is in store for you next month.”

THE OBSCURE STARLING (January 20 - February 16)You should no longer carry the burden of this troubled relationship alone. If they are not reciprocating the energy, stand your ground or move on to your next life chapter without them. You are allowed to have boundaries, but be sure to respect theirs as well. Changes are coming, control them. You have felt it's time for a change in your career, you are correct. Take on new, greater responsibility.

BEFORE OBSCURE STARLING JOINED THE STARS
When night descends upon the realm, stars come out to play. Day dawns and darkness falls. It is a cycle that has been taken for granted since time immemorial. Why does it happen? Some would argue that the Starlings take flight when the sun sets to bring the curtain of night. Not one but many. All life rests beneath the wings of these celestial birds for all life returns as a star among its wing.

The Albino Raven made its home where snow fell. It would often watch as humans toiled against one another in the lands below. They would fight and argue, and bandits would lay waste to their efforts. When asked why he was watching them, the Snowfell Raven replied thus: "When they have worn themselves down to the last man, there will be no more destruction. Our nests can rise in peace, and our patience will be rewarded by the riches left in their wake."

The white stoat was set down and told to wait, and so it did. Seconds turned to minutes and then to hours, but it knew no concept of time. It just knew it had to be good, had to sit and wait. The sun shone, the rain poured, the snow raged, and still it waited. The Forsaken Ermine was so weak by the time it was retrieved, but to its new master went its complete trust, and so was life renewed.

THE FERAL STALLION (April 18 - May 13)This will be a turbulent time in your relationships with others. Passions will run hot in your interactions, both in affection and abhoration.

The water horse would appear to those who peered within the lake, content to drag beholders down into the abyss. They would stand by the shore and gaze down at their reflection, but tranquility would not last. The Feral Stallion would emerge in a splash and take the observer, young or old, deep deep beneath the blue. They would always visit the lake to drown, but the kelpie wouldn't let them, and they found new life on the other side of the lake within the moor.

THE ETERNAL WOLF (May 13 - June 21)A great raging fire is being lit within you, but be wary not to let it burn you. Despite your better judgement, you will be spurred on to lash out in an attempt to protect yourself.

The Eternal Wolf would not relent to those who sought to usurp its word. It warned its tribe to stay away from the bridge to the promised land, but they did not listen. They knew it clung to past beliefs, and nothing bad would happen if they went of their own accord. They headed for greener pastures, but the way collapsed as they were passing, and the Eternal Wolf gave its life to save the tribe.

THE MOURNING SIREN (June 21 - July 20)The great suffering you have endured recently will soon subside, but it will require an initiative from you. Your life needs an upheaval, as the daily routine you have been following is failing you. This is a strong moment for self-reflection. We are both aware that you haven't been feeling well, act on it.

The Mourning Siren sang each day until the humans grew tired of it. They sent a ship to exterminate it, but it did not raise a hand against them. It sang until its dying breath in their arms and when silence fell, something far worse emerged from the deep. The hunters did not return, and neither did the humans live long without the Mourning Siren's song.

THE TWICE-HISSED CAT (July 20 - August 10)It is time to end the blame you have been laying onto yourself. You are not responsible for all that goes wrong, and you are not to blame for the feelings of others.

No, instead, you will find a new sense of inner strength this coming month, and learn how to properly support yourself.

But the specter said hello right back and the two would become fast friends once the Twice-Hissed Cat hissed its last.

THE FOREST MONARCH (August 10 - September 16)No, there is nothing wrong with taking a break from your social life.

The Forest Monarch ruled the land with a charming smile, and a graceful leap. It was hailed as the most beautiful creature in the forest, and all life sang its praise. But with unending adulation came suspicion, and ultimately... boredom. The crowned stag desired a true friend to break the monotony, to give it the meaningful link it secretly needed. But the crowd was always gathered 'round, cheers blocking out the voices that would actually matter if The Forest Monarch only stopped to listen.

The boy did not listen, however, and met the Forgotten Dryad when he ventured too far within the green maze. You are safe now, she told him, for society's chains could not reach them anymore. Neither he nor she were slaves to the humans, or the fear they revered.

There once was a man who saw fit to rule dragonkind. He showed a Domestic Drake kindness, and the drake, unsure of where he could go in life, threw himself into serving the man well. The only problem was that the drake was scared. Fearful of life and its ups and its downs. When the master fell to men who would take his land, the Domestic Drake charged without thinking, and rid itself of the chains that kept it still with inaction.

The Wandering Hare made its home in a hut, but the walls grew too close. It was time to move.

TODAY'S READING: PALMISTRY
"The future is a very cosmic and enigmatic force," Io speaks calmly as he sits before his gathering audience once again, "We seek it to prepare ourselves, to comfort ourselves, or in hopes of changing it. Some forms of reading may aid you in this but today, we will be looking into the prophecies that defined us from birth. Unfortunately, these aren't so easily broken."
Io slides back his long sleeves as he holds his hands out to the audience, "If you can, look down to your palm. There are many truths about your life imprinted in it that, unfortunately, I will be unable to help you read today..." He gave the crowd a very faint smile, tugging slightly at the bandages around his eyes, "However, I could give you a lesson in how you could read your own palm... For simplicity's sake, we will be focusing only on your fingers today."
Io pauses, giving a knowing smile, "You may notice, some of these prints contradict each other, yet you possess both. My teaching today is merely a simplified version, as there are many variables when it comes to palm reading.
As such, if you come across this, consider yourself either a complex individual with different layers, or that only a part of the interpretation applies to you. Now, let us begin..."

THE WHORLGoverned by: Air
Meaning: You are a nonconformist, choosing to discard the expectations of society in order to live as an individual. You find a sense of comfort in your fixed sense of likes and dislikes, and are unlikely to explore other styles of fashion or experiment with unknown foods. You are prone to nervousness, which may affect your heart or stomach. If this patterns appears on the thumb, you may be a very stubborn person who will not concede during an argument, even if you have been proven wrong. You hold onto secrets well, but you should find an outlet such as writing, art, or a journal, as they will eat away at you.
THE LOOPGoverned by: Water
Meaning: A very common pattern, it means you are a child of the moon. You are somebody who handles change well, and are able to show adaptability and versatility under most circumstances. If this pattern reoccurs on your fingers, it shows you have very broad horizons and are an open-minded individual. You are also very responsive to the emotions of others, while also being very open with your own. This may lead you to altruistic endeavors, but be wary. You have a tendency to act as a people-pleaser, which may lead to your own self-sacrifice or attracting others who may want to take advantage of your kindness.
THE DOUBLE LOOPGoverned by: Water
Meaning: You are a very indecisive individual, and will spend hours, even days weighing a problem before you can land on a decision. However, this also shows that you are very practically minded, and can be trusted to discover the best solution. Be careful this mindset does not lead you down the path of negativity, as you are very rigid and inflexible once your mind is made up. This can lead to repression, critical opinions, and even resentment. Take care of your mind and health. If you feel behind in life, don't fret, as it is common for those with this print to be late bloomers. You'll get there.
THE ARCHGoverned by: Earth
Meaning: You have a very loyal heart, and dedicate yourself fully to those you love. Your family and community feel a strong sense of security when around you, and you are capable of great things in order to help others. You exhibit a sense of practicality and prefer to take on a hands on approach to problems. You are very resilient and steadfast, which may lead to an aversion to change or skepticism. You should spend more time in nature, as it will help revitalize you. Be wary, however, of stomach or blood diseases, as they are attracted to this pattern. You should also stop holding onto your emotions alone.
THE TENTED ARCHGoverned by: Fire
Meaning: This pattern is the most rare of all, usually only showing on the index finger. You have an artistic soul, idealistic in all things, yet sensitive to stimuli. You also show many impulsive behaviors, which may either lead to adventure or danger. You have a very sensitive heart and do not handle emotions well, as they may give way to instability or a nervous disorder. Seek out peaceful surroundings to soothe your high-strung nature. If you are feeling restless or directionless, it is because you are holding onto an intense energy that needs a release. Follow your passions, they will lead you to success and happiness.
THE PEACOCK'S EYEGoverned by: Water and Air
Meaning: This is a very rare print, and those who bear it possess a powerful degree of perception and intuition. You have been blessed with a naturally strong sense of luck, and its appearance on the Sun Finger (your 'ring' finger) offers protection against accidental death. You are prone to being lost in your daydreams, which may cause you to miss out on the joys or demands of the waking world. You also have a slightly secretive nature, which may make it difficult for you to connect to others or express yourself. Find an alternative outlet, as you have something in you that should be heard.

Choose whichever name holds most meaning for you, your own, a nickname, a pseudonym... They all have significance, as long as they are a name you hold dear and wish to live by."
Io opens a large book as he nods for everyone to gather, "Each letter of that name holds a meaning. The more that letter occurs in your name, the more influence and power it holds."

TODAY'S READING: ASTRAGALOMANCY
"You have something weighing on your mind. I've decided today to teach you a way to divine the answer..." Reaching into his flowing coat, Io produced a velvet drawstring bag that rattled as it moved. After loosening the string, he tipped it forward, causing three ornate dice to spill across his table.
"This practice is called astragalomancy, or dice divination. In ancient times, we would be using the knuckle bones of livestock..." The young oracle smiled reassuringly, producing a piece of chalk between his fingers, "Luckily, these days we can easily buy dice as a substitute..."
Leaning over the table, Io carefully drew a perfect circle on the surface of his table, an impressive feat for a man who could not see, "We will try to toss these within the limits of this circle. If they fall outside of it, they present an entirely different meaning. Shall we begin?"

TODAY'S READING: TAROT
Shuffling his cards in his bandaged hands, Io nodded to the crowd once more, "I know many of you are aware of tarot cards, but today we will be taking a small look into how they work..." He spread 22 cards across the table, allowing the visitors to peer down at their faces, "This is the Major Arcana. For simplicity's sake, we will only be focused on them.

Scooping them carefully into his hands once more, he shuffled the cards, before suddenly stopping as if something were on his mind. After a moment of pause, he lifted his head towards the crowd, "Tomorrow... You need not come here, there will be no reading.

He smiled weakly, "It will be a show to remember..."
He placed the cards face down onto the table, "For now, let's see what the cards have to say..."
