Claire - Fortune House - Aiden/John/Raven/York
The Fortune House looked anything but mystical. When Claire pictured a fortune teller, she didn't picture a run down shack of hardly any note. It was more akin to a horror movie, where the protagonists were cursed by some crazy old witch.
A pleasant thought, considering they might as well have been
in a horror movie.
There was no one waiting for the group but a mysterious green orb. After the incident with the gems, Claire made sure to keep a fair distance between her and the table. Still, she managed to keep an eye on the item as it burst to life and showed the group... their fortunes? Claire was up first, running next to a woman she recognized from the asylum. It was clear they were in the amusement park, which indicated that this event was possibly from the near future--
Oh. Oh
god. She was caught on barbed wire as a-a... as
something began to rip through her. Her nightmares vividly came back to her and Claire felt as if someone had taken her breath away. She shuffled her feet slightly, moving to lean against one of the chairs. Then-- Then it was over, and the next scene was playing.
As they continued, it became clear that the scenes had little to do with who had come to the fortune house. Claire recognized others-- people who weren't even there watching what was before them. Not all were quite as unsettling as her own, which somehow made Claire all the more nauseous.
Aiden turned to her and tried to make her feel better. She didn't
feel much better, but she managed to say,
"It's my own fault. I said I could take whatever this place could throw at me, after all." She meant it jokingly, but she couldn't quite work up the nerve to say it in such a tone. Aiden was right, though, the vision could have meant nothing at all. If she had others to support her, they could prevent it from happening.
"The others in those visions... we should find them. Warn them. I'm not sure about Elsa's, but that other girl... Ariel. Has anyone seen her recently?" Crossing her arms, Claire looked toward the exit of the Fortune House.
"And Shiki... she helped me back in the theater. I owe her."
She turned back to find Raven and York touching the orb, and Claire's eyes went wide.
"Wait--" she said, but the vision proceeded regardless. It was certainly... different than the others. Far from unsettling. Claire looked cautiously at the two and shook her head.
"I'm definitely not touching that orb now. I'm not sure any of us should again."
