Video - Tarot Reading with a Time Machine
[The video pans to the entire room, filled with smoke an incense. It moves back to a teenager sitting on one side, with an old television set and what looks to be a really old video game console. Yu is busy blowing into the cartridge before booting it up. He has a cloak draped over his entire body, matching the colors of the room. Thematic!]
Hello. I found this game in my work's discarded boxes while doing some cleanup. I've never seen this game before, but after trying it once, I thought it might be interesting to show you all...
[It boots up once he pressed on the Power button.]
I didn't know Nintendo had a time machine. Would anyone like to have their tarot read this way? I'll need your name, your birthday and a question about your future.
[OOC: I have this game on console, and will be doing actual readings from the game itself. Have fun!]

[Video]
I'm Randall. My birthdate is March 26th and I want to know how long I'll be stuck here.
[Video]
[He dramatically turns off the light so the only glow comes from the TV set and takes out a simple controller.]
Let me just put this information into the tarot reader...I mean the time machine.
[The animation begins as the program starts to shuffle the cards...]
The first card is who you are.
The Knight of Coins or Pentacles is someone who is a mature, responsible and patient person. Key words: Efficiency, routine, conservatism, methodical. You are meticulous in your approach and you make sure that everything is planned and executed down to the finest detail to create overall success.
Let's begin with the spread now. The first card is the Significator. This card represents the circumstances or general atmosphere which surrounds yourself, and about the question you have just asked.
The Knight of Staffs or Wands. It represents a journey into the unknown. The Knight of Wands indicates the actual pursuit of that idea, and may indicate an event that enters your life quickly and unexpectedly. [Like being tossed in here.]
Next is the CROSSING CARD. This card shows the influences working against you, and can be either of a good or bad nature.
The Hermit Tarot card suggests that you are in a phase of introspection where you are drawing your attention and focus inward and looking for answers within. You have a strong need to understand, not just at the surface level but to really know why life is the way it is.
The third card is the CROWNING CARD. The crowning card shows influences which will be brought to bare or influences which may come into being if present trends are continued. Who may be helping you, in a way.
The Page of Cups is your unconscious mind trying to speak to you, possibly through your dreams or through synchronistic encounters with significant people. I would suggest looking around at who is important to you and may be that person.
Now with the fourth card we get to the BASE OF THE MATTER. This shows the base of the matter or problem relating to the question and can represent the hidden subconscious root of the problem or background to the situation.
The Nine of Staffs suggests that you are so close to completing a particular project or task but at the last minute, you are faced with yet another challenge or setback. Something is blocking you from completing it.
[Super helpful!]
The fifth card is PAST INFLUENCES. This card depicts the broad sphere of events and influences which have existed in the distant past whose culmination have lead up to the present situation.
The King of Swords. The King of Swords is a symbol of intellectual power and authority, and has the courage and intellect to accomplish all that he desires. He represents judgement, command, and rulership. Someone who influenced you when you were longer was a strong ruling figure and their choices molded yours.
This leads us into the FORTHCOMING INFLUENCES, This card shows the effects or situations which will operate within the very near future.
The King of Staffs. The king of staffs is more inclined to take an idea and change the world to match his vision. You do not waste your time on activities or relationships that you believe will lead no-where. Find that someone, or...this may be actually you, considering I pulled this card for you first.
The seventh card is WHERE ONE FINDS ONESELF. This card shows the questioners present state or attitude within surrounding circumstances.
The Nine of Swords. The Nine of Swords is the card of fear and nightmares. If you allow yourself to be bound by fear of the future, you are at risk of eventually creating a negative reality for yourself by virtue of your expectations. The concern for a loved one may even be yourself...
The eight card is THE VIEWS OF OTHERS. This represents the situation as it appears to others or the opinions of the
questioners close friends, aquantances or relatives about yourself.
The High Priestess. Others view you as closed off...You may be rushing around and worrying excessively about external issues that you have lost focus on your own needs.
The ninth card. HOPES AND FEARS. The card represents the inner feelings, desires and dreads or how he would or would not like the situation to end or be fulfilled.
The Two of Coins. It says you try to avoid difficult situations, for bad or better. Two of Pentacles serves as a reminder to remain alert, agile and patient as you attempt to juggle new challenges. You need to be very clear on your priorities and where you want to invest your time and energy.
Finally...the tenth card. The FINAL OUTCOME, this card contains the answer to the questioners problem or question, it should be read with regards to all the other cards laid before the questioner and in essence contains the answer
sought.
[He lets loose a little bit more of the smoke machine to give it true mood before revealing it.]
The knight of swords. When we are obsessed by an idea and wish to manifest that idea, we are often so blinded by the desire for its fulfillment that we fail to see the difficulties we may encounter or the consequences of our actions. He can be blind to potential challenges and consequences of his actions, and may charge forth into a dangerous territory without any foresight or preparation. He may also neglect to understand the needs of others as he fervently pursues his own goals.
In the end, the answer to your question is 'be careful what you wish fore as it may cause more issues in the long run.'
[ He claps his hands and the light returns. He bows at him.]
This concludes the tarot reading. I hope it was enlightening for you...oh right!
These are your lucky numbers.
[Video] Wow. Nice. :D
How does all that really help me get out of here? Ultimately the answer is just to be careful?
[Video] This game is so pointless but I love it anyway

[He dramatically turns off the lights again so the only glow comes from the TV set and moves around a very basic old-school controller.]
Let's see what the time machine things...
[The animation begins as the program starts to shuffle the cards...]
The first card is who you are.
The Knight of Swords. Gallantry and courage. Key words: Opinionated, hasty, action-oriented, communicative. Knight of Swords is a powerful figure full of life and energy who needs to be balanced with a realisation of responsibility and compassion. Once he has set forth on his journey, there is no stopping him! He does not see, nor care about, any upcoming challenges, risks or dangers, and instead moves forward with his strong intent to succeed and win. It is a pretty powerful card...
Now onward to the reading. The first card is the SIGNIFICATOR. This card represents the circumstances or general atmosphere which surrounds yourself, and about the question you have just asked.
When the Star is reversed, it suggests that your mission is distorted. Instead of hope, you are feeling despair or discouragement. Instead of being filled with positive possibilities, you find yourself dwelling on negative issues. Negative thoughts will wear away at you to the point where you may give up control of the situation and concede defeat. You should try to take control of it again before it destroys you.
[He makes it sound pretty serious. Or maybe he's just getting into this.]
Next is the CROSSING CARD. This card shows the influences working against you, and can be either of a good or bad nature.
The Judgement card calls for a period of reflection and self-evaluation. Through meditation or quiet reflection, you may come to a point of deep understanding about the common themes throughout your life and what you can do or change to avoid these situations in the future. Maybe you shouldn't ask yourself why you are here, but rather WHAT you can do here...
The third card is the CROWNING CARD. The crowning card shows influences which will be brought to bare or influences which may come into being if present trends are continued. Who may be helping you, in a way.
The Ten of Coins or Ten of Pentacles is such a great sign that despite challenges and setbacks along the way, you will finally reach a point of completion and accomplishment in your journey. This card reflects permanence and creating a lasting foundation for future success. It is a card of commitment to a sustainable future, taking into consideration not just the short-term benefits of a particular venture but also the long-term benefits.
Now with the fourth card we get to the BASE OF THE MATTER. This shows the base of the matter or problem relating to the question and can represent the hidden subconscious root of the problem or background to the situation.
The Three of Swords. The Three of Swords represents rejection, sadness, loneliness, heartbreak, betrayal, separation and grief. Is being here hard for you, Jean-Yves? It seems to be that way...That said, pain, sorrow and grief are often a necessity in the journey of life. Without pain, there would be no challenge and no lessons learned.
The fifth card is PAST INFLUENCES. This card depicts the broad sphere of events and influences which have existed in the distant past whose culmination have lead up to the present situation.
The Seven of Staffs or Wands indicates a struggle after initial satisfaction and fulfillment. The Seven of Wands can also indicate a challenge to the continued success of a venture or creative project from an external source. While it appears to block your path forward, you can overcome this challenge or obstacle by drawing upon your strong self-confidence, self-belief and continual self-improvement.
This leads us into the FORTHCOMING INFLUENCES, This card shows the effects or situations which will operate within the very near future.
The Three of Coins or Pentacles represents the fulfillment and manifestation of a creative venture, business, or building project. The message of the Three of Pentacles is one of encouragement. If you continue to work toward the fulfillment of your dreams and do not allow disillusionment to dampen your enthusiasm, ultimately you will experience prosperity and success in your goals. Maybe you should use your time here for bettering yourself...
The seventh card is WHERE ONE FINDS ONESELF. This card shows the questioners present state or attitude within surrounding circumstances.
The Queen of Cups reversed suggests that you may be feeling out of touch with your emotions or that you are forced to restrict how you are really feeling deep inside. You may be struggling to express yourself effectively, instead bottling up your feelings internally. If you do not address these emotional issues, they will eventually reach boiling point. Your stress levels may increase and your ability to cope with everyday issues could suffer. [He nods to himself.] Please take care of yourself.
The eight card is THE VIEWS OF OTHERS. This represents the situation as it appears to others or the opinions of the questioners close friends, aquantances or relatives about yourself.
The High Priestess. Others view you as closed off...You may be rushing around and worrying excessively about external issues that you have lost focus on your own needs.
The ninth card. HOPES AND FEARS. The card represents the inner feelings, desires and dreads or how he would or would not like the situation to end or be fulfilled.
The Magician...
[He pauses and smiles. Is he...thinking about someone? Probably.]
...right. The Magician, suggests that a situation has been, or soon will be presented to you that has all the inherent components to allow the manifestation of your desires. Those desires may be spiritual, physical, emotional, or mental, and suggests that you will come up with creative ways to solve problems and you will be able to use your existing knowledge and networks to arrive at solutions.
Finally...the tenth card. The FINAL OUTCOME, this card contains the answer to the questioners problem or question, it should be read with regards to all the other cards laid before the questioner and in essence contains the answer sought.
[He lets loose a little bit more of the smoke machine to give it true mood before revealing it. Don't mind the coughing...woops turned it on too much.]
The Nine of Coins or Pentacles is about enjoying the good life and the fruits of your labor. You have worked hard to get here, so now, sit back and relax and enjoy some of life’s luxuries. You deserve it! Do not be afraid to splurge, indulge or pamper yourself, particularly if it is as a reward for all of your hard work.
Maybe what the coins are suggesting is not to seek out why you are here, but enjoy it to the fullest and try to make the most of it.
[He claps his hands and the light returns. He bows at him.]
This concludes the tarot reading...here are your lucky numbers.

Natasha. November 22nd. What kind of day will I have tomorrow?
no subject
[He dramatically turns off the lights again so the only glow comes from the TV set and moves around a very basic old-school controller.]
[The animation begins as the program starts to shuffle the cards...]
The first card is who you are.
The Page of Coins or Pentacles. A craving for learning and knowledge. It is a card of dreams and the desire to manifest those dreams in the material world. You may be in the midst of a new project such as a hobby, business venture, or the beginning of a new educational experience.
Let's begin the reading. The first card is the SIGNIFICATOR. This card represents the circumstances or general atmosphere which surrounds yourself, and about the question you have just asked.
Ahh, the Devil... when you see the Devil in a reading, ask yourself where you are feeling stuck or restricted in your life. You may be tricked into believing that you are being controlled by external forces when in fact you have created your own chains of imprisonment and powerlessness. I guess it's telling you to be careful tomorrow?
[He says that cause he cares, but also beacuse he's confused. Don't mind him thinking about a certain devil nurse back home either...]
Next is the CROSSING CARD. This card shows the influences working against you, and can be either of a good or bad nature.
The two of cups shows the beauty and power that is created when two become one. The card reflects balance, mutual respect and harmony in relations with one another. There is no ‘I’, just ‘we’, and both parties are focused on a mutually beneficial outcome or win-win situation. Maybe friends will keep you away from the Devil...
The third card is the CROWNING CARD. The crowning card shows influences which will be brought to bare or influences which may come into being if present trends are continued. Who may be helping you, in a way.
The Ten of Coins or Ten of Pentacles is such a great sign that despite challenges and setbacks along the way, you will finally reach a point of completion and accomplishment in your journey. This card reflects permanence and creating a lasting foundation for future success. It is a card of commitment to a sustainable future, taking into consideration not just the short-term benefits of a particular venture but also the long-term benefits. I guess what it's trying to say is that...whtever you're planning tomorrow, despite the setbacks, it might be worth it!
Now with the fourth card we get to the BASE OF THE MATTER. This shows the base of the matter or problem relating to the question and can represent the hidden subconscious root of the problem or background to the situation.
Ahh. The Magician again.
[He grins.]
The card suggests that a situation will be presented to you that has all the inherent components to allow the manifestation of your desires. It sees you creating success in everything that you do. This is a Tarot card about manifesting your goals by utilising the skills, tools and resources that are available to you. Just don't fall into garbage cans and you should be alright...
[Wait what?]
The fifth card is PAST INFLUENCES. This card depicts the broad sphere of events and influences which have existed in the distant past whose culmination have lead up to the present situation.
The Knight of Staffs or Wands indicates is an ‘act first, think later’ type of guy. He is impatient and impulsive, with a love for action. The downside to the Knight of Wands is that while he is bursting with energy and enthusiasm, he has a tendency to rush into things without much consideration for the consequences of his actions. So I guess maybe it's telling you to plan your day tomorrow?
This leads us into the FORTHCOMING INFLUENCES, This card shows the effects or situations which will operate within the very near future.
The Fool! [Before he can stop himself, he blurts out a little too excitedly,] it represents the number zero, a card of infite possibilies and...[wait no, stop Yu. He coughs.] R-right. The Fool. This Tarot card shows the highest potential for your life, reaching a state of renewal and new beginnings, where each day is an adventure and each moment is lived to the fullest. So plan something grand tomorrow, and it might just be what the cards want you to have!
The seventh card is WHERE ONE FINDS ONESELF. This card shows the questioners present state or attitude within surrounding circumstances.
The Star...[Another memory of his beary good friend.] The Star card brings renewed hope and faith and a sense that you are truly blessed at this time. Courage, fulfilment, and inspiration are in your life. The Star brings renewed self-esteem and increased trust in yourself.
The eight card is THE VIEWS OF OTHERS. This represents the situation as it appears to others or the opinions of the questioners close friends, aquantances or relatives about yourself.
The High Priestess. [Three readings so far, and she always show up here...what could it mean? Maybe it's just a fluke of some sort...] Others view you as closed off...You may be rushing around and worrying excessively about external issues that you have lost focus on your own needs. However she is often described as the guardian of the unconscious. She sits in front of the thin veil of awareness, which is all that separates us from our inner selves. Maybe others don't understand you as much as you understand yourself.
The ninth card. HOPES AND FEARS. The card represents the inner feelings, desires and dreads or how he would or would not like the situation to end or be fulfilled.
The Five of Coins or Pentacles typically points to a time of financial strife, poverty and adversity and indicates that you have suffered a significant financial loss or failure. The Five of Pentacles can also point to a time of being alone, feeling abandoned, ignored and unwanted. You are in desperate need of support and comfort from those who actually care.
Well...if you need someone to help you, I'd be glad to help! If the tarot is truthful anyway...
Finally...the tenth card. The FINAL OUTCOME, this card contains the answer to the questioners problem or question, it should be read with regards to all the other cards laid before the questioner and in essence contains the answer sought.
[He lets loose a little bit more of the smoke machine to give it true mood before revealing it. He's also found a lazor disco machine sending light everywhere.]
The Ten of Staffs or Wands asks you to stop and examine your current lifestyle or work. Assess which activities or tasks are really urgent or really important, particularly in relation to your broader goals.
So in the end, I think what the cards are trying to say that you will have a good day tomorrow if you plan ahead accordingly. Think about what you really want to do, and maybe broaden your horizons and do something completely different!
[He claps his hands and the light returns. He bows at him.]
This concludes the tarot reading...here are your lucky numbers.

[He dramatically turns off the lights again so the only glow comes from the TV set and moves around a very basic old-school controller.]
Let's see what the time machine thinks about this question...
[He might have put in his own flourish into it. The animation begins as the program starts to shuffle the cards...]
The first card is who you are.
The Knight of Coins or Pentacles. A mature and responsible Person. Key words: Efficiency, routine, conservatism, methodical. You are in ‘implementation mode’ and are committed to getting the job done, even if it requires hard work along the way. You are also fiercely loyal and prepared to do whatever it takes to ensure the job gets done. Conversely, if a situation has been stagnant for some time, you might see this Knight as a suggestion that you are being a bit stubborn and could do with a compromise.
Now onward to the reading. The first card is the SIGNIFICATOR. This card represents the circumstances or general atmosphere which surrounds yourself, and about the question you have just asked.
The Page of Coins is a card of dreams and the desire to manifest those dreams in the material world. The card does not indicate the fulfilment of dreams as much as the initial motivation and energy to begin the process of creating those dreams in reality. Therefore, this card encourages you to begin to put in place clear plans and actions that will ultimately lead you to achieve your dreams and goals.
[He nods to himself and continues somewhat dramatically;]
Now is the time to start acting on all of those grand ideas and concepts that have been brewing in your imagination. Now is the time to make them real!
[AWESOME!]
Next is the CROSSING CARD. This card shows the influences working against you, and can be either of a good or bad nature.
The Emperor. Ahh. [He pauses, thinking of Kanji, but the moment of slience is brief.] This card indicates that you have a strong desire to see your ideas manifested on the physical plane in the form of material gain or accomplishment. If you are facing difficult choices, you must maintain your concentration and focus.
The third card is the CROWNING CARD. The crowning card shows influences which will be brought to bare or influences which may come into being if present trends are continued. Who may be helping you, in a way.
The Crowning Card is the Knight of Swords. This card shows great ambition, determination and strength to succeed no matter what. However, beware to feeling a need to rush things or cutting corners in order to get a job done.
Now with the fourth card we get to the BASE OF THE MATTER. This shows the base of the matter or problem relating to the question and can represent the hidden subconscious root of the problem or background to the situation.
The Moon. It is a psychological card of projecting fear into your present and your future, based on past experiences. I don't know what happened in the past, Yusuke-san, but the images, thoughts and feelings that you have repressed over time cause inner disturbances that could become overwhelming. You'll need to think back on those, and how you were able to overcome them. But this also leads us into...
The fifth card which is PAST INFLUENCES. This card depicts the broad sphere of events and influences which have existed in the distant past whose culmination have lead up to the present situation.
The Queen of Swords...reversed. Whoever they were, they were probably this person the Moon was warning you about influencing your decisions even now. I can't tell you who they were, Yusuke, but I'm sure you'll know. There's only so many people in our lives who were deceitful, unreliable and vengeful...let's look and see if you have more positive people around you now...
This leads us into the FORTHCOMING INFLUENCES, This card shows the effects or situations which will operate within the very near future.
The Chariot. [Now he can't help but think of Chie.] The Chariot represents conquest, victory and overcoming opposition through your confidence and control. You must be determined, self-disciplined, and hard working. If you are, you will triumph over any difficulties or anyone who is trying to limit you. This struggle will ultimately make you stronger.
The seventh card is WHERE ONE FINDS ONESELF. This card shows the questioners present state or attitude within surrounding circumstances.
The Page of Swords...[He looks at the meaning the cards presents to him.] Apart from a...discrete spy or expert negotiator, the Page of Sword reflects an abundance of energy, passion and enthusiasm.
[Still, he will have to file what this card says for later...]
The eight card is THE VIEWS OF OTHERS. This represents the situation as it appears to others or the opinions of the questioners close friends, aquantances or relatives about yourself.
The King of Cups. [He can't help but laugh.] Oh wow, this card is almost too eerily perfect, don't you agree? I can't help but see you have interests in the arts. It represents emotion, creativity, and the unconscious.
The ninth card. HOPES AND FEARS. The card represents the inner feelings, desires and dreads or how he would or would not like the situation to end or be fulfilled.
The Four of Staffs...it warns you that you want nothing less than perfection, but it could become dangerous. Remember that the card is also representative of move from one stage to another, and moving past mistakes and challenges to a place of peace, acceptance and happiness...maybe even love?
[Wink.]
Finally...the tenth card. The FINAL OUTCOME, this card contains the answer to the questioners problem or question, it should be read with regards to all the other cards laid before the questioner and in essence contains the answer sought.
[He lets loose a little bit more of the smoke machine to give it true mood before revealing it. Don't mind the coughing...woops turned it on too much.]
The Star! That's...beary good! [Yu, what?] You are entering a loving phase in your life, filled with calm energy, mental stability and deeper understanding of both yourself and others around you. Your ability to let go of damaging memories has been strengthened by contact with your true self through these difficult times. The Star encourages you to have faith in yourself and to believe in yourself.
As they say...believe in those who believe in you.
All in all, I think you will be lead towards very promising futures, especailly in the art world.
[He claps his hands and the light returns. He bows at him.]
This concludes the tarot reading...here are your lucky numbers.
