| Upon entering the shop you enter a small carpeted hallway with another door at the far end that mimics the one you just entered. The carpet is slightly threadbare, but a deep burgandy in hue. The walls are painted a slightly lighter shade with ironworked sconces supporting candles lining the way. This being your only source of light it makes for a hard time seeing. The door at the end of the hall opens and Tarot steps out, smiling softly. "I see you have come to seek my services" her eyes study you a moment "Are you sure you wish to find the answers to your questions? After a thoughtful nod, you follow her into the next room. It is much bigger holding a couch and two chairs in a soft grey, as well as a coffee table. Large ornate pictures are on the walls a small series of shelves at one end of the room holds a myriad amount of occult like items. You swear you just saw eye of newt on the jars. Tarot looks to you once more. "I will be back in a moment." with that she slips behind a curtain, leaving you to your devices. You opt to look around, after all you're paying right? Walking among the book shelves you find a large amount of books, all based in the occuly. Dreamwalking, Astral Transfer, Buddism, Zen, Tao, Karma, Wicca...all of it here in a rather impressive libray. Least...it would be if you knew of such things. The next row sports crystals, powders, cloths and candals for which you assume people use in the "craft" It is then you notice a rather LARGE snow white cat sitting on the sales counter looking directly at you. No not glancing in your direction, you get the distinct feeling he is looking AT you. The soft white fur around his face is pristine, long but not fluffy. It is very stream lined making him look sleek and polished. Yellow topaz eyes bore into yours making you uncomfortable, then in typical feline manner it rises tail flickering as it disappears behind the counter. "We can begin now if you like....." You nearly jump out of your skin as Tarot's soft voice slides into your ears. You turn and nod following her through the beaded doorway. In this much smaller chamber you find very simple furnishings. There are two large burgandy colored over stuffed chairs and a small table covered in black silk between them. She motions for you to sit, and then takes her own seat. The walls are covered in cloth to muffle sound you are sure. She pulls a small burlap sack from the folds of her shawl. Reaching inside she pulls out a very worn, very used tarot deck. The images are of dragons, and are almost to hard to make out. She smiles sweetly at you. "Now.....We begin....." |
