Now in the evening after she was preparing to use the powers she stole. Kitsune was a daughter of a fortune teller. Kitsune’s mother traveled over the world telling tales in rhyme whether it be songs of long ago or predictions of the future. Her mother taught her the ways of tarot; the meaning of the cards and how to channel one’s psyche energy. Kitsune’s prediction were not always that accurate, but it was mostly for show. Today however will be different for with the jutsu she has acquired, she is much more in tuned with the flow of time.
Kitsune sets up shop in a local inn called ‘The Hanged Man.’ She sits at a table close to the back with her crystal ball deck sitting on the table and waits for her first customer. When a man sits down at the table he asks if he should pursue a woman he likes. Kitsune takes a deep breath and her eyes suddenly goes white like that of a blind woman. This was no illusion, by sacrificing some of her chakra she made herself blind and able to see in other ways. It was not really necessary for the reading but it does wonders to attract business. Blind seers are a big selling point.
She shuffles the deck and uses her divination to draw a random card from the pile. She places The Tower card on the table. “I see great calamity if you continue down this path.” The guy was a little sadden by the prediction but pays her all the same. Now who would be next to sit at her table?
Kitsune may be blind at the given moment, but even she can see that this man did not come to her table by his own volition. At the time she made herself go blind, her ears became as sharp as those of a Hashigaki. She could hear the other members in his little group arguing who would go get their fortune told and not in a good way. Even now, she can hear them making jokes as the man sits down. Somehow she wonders if they even realize where they are right now. This inn was purposely named after a Tarot card and accord to some circles sits on a lay-line of spiritual energy. It was not uncommon to see fortune tellers here.
The man acted quite offensive which was not to surprising considering the little fortune she just gave to him. Despite his angry words her false smile never left her face. She did not argue back or even say a word till the man said his piece. He said no words that she has not heard several times over. Being claimed as a charlatan is quite common among those who do this sort of reading. There are many who simply do not believe the future can be read and fervently have confidence in all of this is being fake. As a gypsy she is often called a crook. So often for her and her family were blamed for thievery and practicing of dark arts and because of this they were outcasts and no village wanted them to stay for very long. "Forgive me my dear, it seems I have offended you. I did not mean to put your intelligence in question.”
