Zelda Flynn
Location: Carnival - Spaceship
Skills: N/A
Zelda wasn't too sure about the chaos and the more people that seemed to be joining the group. There were quite a few people there, and now she was starting to panic a little bit with how many people were around. It wasn't typically a secret of any sort that she was more of a loner, that she wasn't great with any sort of social situations, preferring to kind of be by herself a bit. The group was starting to get to be a bit much as more and more people seemingly started to show up.
Including clearly her sister and her friends.
This was definitely not going to end well, as others were seemingly continuing to talk. Diana was trying to sort of explain what she had been saying, but at this point Zelda wasn't fully paying attention to that sort of thing. She actively was sort of starting to take a few steps back from the group, despite the fact that Danni was seemingly talking directly to her. April was the complete opposite of her, and Zelda personally preferred being away from large crowds. She hadn't expected this sort of thing, and was clearly starting to panic a bit at this point.
Zarina Raynordattir
Location: Carnival - Agatha's Tent
Skills: Technopathy
First Day Outfit
As Zari barreled into the tent, she would find herself transported into a quintessentially witchy space. It was bigger on the inside than the outside, a cozy little area where Agatha might conduct her magical studies. Books and relics were littered about, and a small ebony cat was currently playing with what looked like a small statue of Frigga. Crystals and candles and tarot cards floated through the hair, one of the candles almost singing the ends of Zari's hair a bit as she came close.
But more importantly, Mr. Eyeball began to short circuit.
"Mm, technology does not work well in a space like this," Agatha mused. "Odin's
granddaughter."
"I mean probably depends on the magic sort of space," Zari responded with a bit of a shrug, though she was a little bit annoyed with the fact that this might damage Mr. Eyeball with him just being here. Her attention then turned to the other comment that Agatha said about her relation to Odin.
"I mean if you want to get technical I'm actually his great granddaughter. As my dad is the son of Baldur who is the son of Odin. Though doesn't matter much to me never actually met him anyway." "When you get to be as old as I am, you stop worrying about how many 'greats' go in front of a title," Agatha mused. Mr. Eyeball then fell to the ground, hitting the rug with a soft
thud. He didn't look like he had taken any damage, it just seemed all of the concentrated magic and whatnot here was causing him to cease functioning. "Now, you have journeyed to see a witch - what question burns in your heart, Zarina Raynordattir?"
She instantly walked over and picked up the robot, checking to ensure he didn't take any actual damage as she thought of what sort of question to ask Agatha. This sort of thing was something she really should have paid more attention to. Since after all, she knew that when someone was foretelling the future, it was best to listen. That's how her last adventure had occurred, and it was how she met Andy after all.
"What's my next adventure going to be like? Or I guess what is it or something like that. I don't know, I'm not the best at wording things like that to make sense, usually people tend to get confused by the millions of questions I ask or something," and there she went sort of rambling again.
"I see, you're looking for a quest - or perhaps one is looking for you," Agatha mused. Ebony shifted into her panther form and began to paw curiously at Mr. Eyeball, thinking that he was some sort of a toy to play with. He was better than the last toy that had come into the tent - Ebony did not like that creepy doll. Agatha snapped her fingers and the cards began to dance through the air, as she concentrated on Zarina's question. Three cards then flew out and hit the table, one after the other, each with a heavy
thud despite being simply made of paper... or something of its like.
Agatha raised an eyebrow, seeing that Zari had drawn two cards of the Major Arcana - two cards indicating major spiritual forces at work. When doing a reading for a demigod, Agatha assumed that these higher powers may be literal. Perhaps some of them were even Zarina's family from a certain point of view. "It begins with
Judgment, Reversed. The universe is calling to you, and you do not answer. Perhaps you wish to run and hide from this grave duty, to ignore this call, but you will not be able to escape it for long."
Agatha then put a bony finger on the next card -
the Five of Wands. "I see chaos and infighting, a pointless and futile struggle. Brother will slay brother. Violence will breed more and more violence. And it will all amount to nothing, in the end. Blood will be spilled as carelessly as a child knocks over a glass of milk."
"To end this threat, I see a grave cost you must pay -
the Magician, Reversed. By manipulation or trickery, someone will gain power over you. A Faustian pact will be formed. And you, my dear Valkyrie, will never be the same again."
That was certainly an interesting thing to listen to. This whole reading was certainly a bit different from when she got her initial quest from the Norns. Zari wasn't entirely sure what to make of this whole thing. Since how things were worded, she had absolutely no idea what it meant. Her potentially ignoring some sort of calling or something and her not answering? That was not something she expected or something like that.
"...I wonder what all of that could mean, and it doesn't sound like a good thing hmm..." she was clearly trying to figure out what it meant.
"Only you can truly know. The universe speaks through the Cards, and while I can offer guidance, only you can tell the tale."
"Sometimes prophecies and fortune telling can be hard to interpret. It took me forever to figure out the last one... The first thing I figured out was kind of the where and when I had to go, everything else was just kind of a blur... I probably should write this down though, since that helped last time, to keep a reminder to ensure I don't forget things, and help me keep an eye out for everything that might happen or something like that..." She then instantly reached into her usual bag and pulled out a notebook, before writing in it, basically writing down the words, though she was working a little slower since she was encrypting it. Sure, Percy would be able to read it, but she didn't really want to risk a whole bunch of other people to potentially read it without her saying anything about it.
Agatha chuckled slightly. "You are the first one to take notes today, child. I do not know if I should be impressed with you or disappointed with the others. Perhaps both." She studied Zari for a moment, before getting up and opening up one of the chests. She retrieved an intricate box, about the size of a basketball, and set it down in front of Zari. "I acquired this some time ago. Perhaps it is time that it returned to its people," Agatha said, before opening up the box to reveal a
winged crown. Zari would recognize it as the headpiece of the Valkyrie.
"Well taking notes is helpful! Especially because of this sort of thing... I don't know about what others think, but I know that you should pay attention to what fortune tellers or those who can see the future say. Especially since it can help prepare you for what's to come... Plus I want to be able to understand it and all... It helped me out last time anyway..." she commented, after writing everything down and putting her notebook away as her attention shifted towards what Agatha pulled out a box. Zari leaned forward to look inside the box when she opened it, and she gasped a bit seeing the headpiece. She knew of them, but she never actually had one of her own, well, not a real one anyway. She's made replicas of the headpiece before just so she could try it on and imagine things, but she never thought she'd actually get one. Zari instantly picked it up out of the box, holding it in her hands with a smile.
"Where did you get this? And are you sure it's okay to give it to me? I mean I never thought I'd ever get one or anything like that since I'm still learning and all..." "Oh, it is a long story. Perhaps for another time. And it is perfectly alright to take it, Zarina," Agatha said. "To be completely candid, I have acquired thousands of magical items over the millennia... I need to downsize for my move to New Orleans." She chuckled slightly. She hadn't intended on telling any of the students that, but oh well. That was fine.
"Well thank you!" she said happily, before taking the crown and immediately putting it on her head,
"Maybe we'll eventually talk again, but I hope you have fun in New Orleans," she added, before taking Mr. Eyeball with her and leaving the tent. It didn't take long for Mr. Eyeball to jump right back to being his old self. Well almost anyway, before he switches back to being completely normal his words are a bit jumbled in runes, so it's hard for her to fully understand him for a moment. Though her attention turns towards Percy and Andy now,
"You won't believe what my fortune was! And also I got this crown which is the headpiece for the Valkyrie! It was so coooooooooooooool!" she said instantly to the pair. It seems she wasn't really paying attention to the fact that Madalyne was there.
