Does anyone know if transfer of credits can be accomplished from one person to another, here? So far all I have managed is using them at the stores or with the hatches, and as it happens this 'allowance' they give us isn't really adequate.

Where I was from, I offered my services in a consulting capacity, but if I cannot get payment for such here, then that isn't incredibly practical.

....on a similar note, if anybody wishes their tarot read, it appears I'm doing this for free until I figure out a way to return an investment on the deck I just hatched.

If so, I'm at the version of the Café Procope that they have apparently stolen from Paris and transplanted here. It is in the Speares district. I may be found at one of the upstairs balcony tables.

Her reaction makes him smile-- slightly, distantly. The waiter returns with her water and refreshes his coffee. Jason waits for the Extra to leave before resuming speech.

"Except that a hat can be taken off, can't it." He pours a touch of cream into his freshly hot coffee, stirs it.

"You've been wearing this one.... what, eight years now? Nine? Nearly half your rather short life. A pity." Not that his tone expresses any considerable sympathy, remaining as detached as always.

"Ten of swords: actually fairly similar to the Death card in many of its themes. Like Death, the initial impression is quite grim and dour; like Death, the card contains hints things are not perhaps entirely catastrophic. Note the sunrise in each.

"Note also the tranquility of the water in the Ten of Swords. Some interpretations focus on the fact that all four elements are represented in balanced proportion: air, the fire of the sunrise, the water, the earth. It's a card of... defeat, in a sense, but it can stand for the acceptance of defeat. The war has ceased to be a concern for the soldier depicted here."

It's times like that these that she desperately misses the Scoobies. Willow would be so useful here, standing at her side.

Or possibly sitting down and comparing notes. Not quite as promising.

"I'm kinda familiar with how magic works, in a sort of 'i got to stand next to people doing magic at one point'. Is that how you know these things? About me?"

"More or less, yes. I practice magic, and divination, beyond the mere theatre of a tarot reading, if that's what you're asking."

Jason adds cream to his coffee and stirs it, leaning back in his chair. "Does that bother you? That I know those things?"
