Fortune Telling Activity
The contestants gather at dusk in a stretch of fairgrounds with rows of shops and salesdragons. Most of the tents have closed up for the night, with only the typical sounds of a fortune wheel in action and the occasional shopkeeper falling in mud. The soft glow of light coming from the tents casts shadows on the ground, in which many a dragon looking around furtively and teaching people to use the darknet for profit might be witnessed.
Fortune finally steps out of one of the smaller, purple tents and motions for everyone to come closer.
“To aid you in your journey, I’ve struck a deal with a wonderful fortune teller. Please, do come in, one team at a time, and Yrdoviel will gladly offer you some advice. Tips are greatly appreciated…”

:)
|
Team 01: Luminous Apple Bracelets
Team Style: In Denial and Proud
Current Points: 60
|
Team 1 cautiously approaches the tent and sits around the table. Yrdoviel waves his hand over the crystal ball and looks each teammate in the eye. Maltshakes's
Lucifer offers him a tip of a single ruby. He smiles, taking it, and offers the team his advice.
“Do you have any cleavers on you? No? Hmm… Might want to rectify that soon. Keep an eye out for Irradiated Yeti rodeos. Look for acrobatics. Seek out a cardinal.”
|
:)
|
Team 02: Arctic Sea Metal
Team Style: Supportive Bros
Current Points: 40
|
Team 2 enters the tent and sits in a circle around the table, each handing Yrdoviel a nice leaf.
“If you focus on it today and today only, you will become better at being able to speak 4+ languages fluently. It will come in handy protecting you and yours from a sad family member.”
|
:)
|
Team 03: Poorly Maintained Disintegrator Cannon
Team Style: Rebels without any Gems
Current Points: 20
|
Team 3 reluctantly glances around the tent, suspicious of what things it holds. BlackJasper's
Wilkerson mutters something about the choice of decor: “feathers and twinkle lights.... odd…”
“Prepare accordingly, tent pegs may lead to good fortune and treasure chests. Do you need to get hurt by tent pegs? Do you need to wield said tent pegs? Only those beyond the veil know...”
|
:)
|
Team 04: Soft, Worn Icewarden Plush
Team Style: mmMMMMMMMMMMM
Current Points: 0
|
Team 4 cautiously approaches the tent, highly skeptical of the establishment.
“The spectacle of tigers will bring forth tightrope-walking sans net, performed by a landbound snapper 400 feet in the air directly above the audience. Perhaps try the milkshakes instead of seeking out carnival games.”
|
:)
|
Team 05: Earthen Masque Whack-a-Mole
Team Style: Aggressive Affection
Current Points: 10
|
Team 5 cheerfully sits down around Yrdoviel, offering an Emerald Pterodactyl Brooch and complimenting his tent. “The shoe you have there is really nice!”, Nanobot87's
Iris points out. While Loreka's
Ambrosia offers some encouragement. “You can do it (if you b&q it).”
Soon enough, Yrdoviel turns to the group and offers his advice.
“It will be your duty to dole out teddy bears and neon green toy swords to those less fortunate. Should you fail this, a scary costume may appear.”
|
:)
|
Team 06: The Ferris Wheel of Carousel Music
Team Style: *kicks down the door to demand justice*
Current Points: 20
|
Maithax's
Lukas of Team 6 enters the tent and stares Yrdoviel in the eyes. “Shoddy swords, crumbling toothbrushes, a fake treasure map. I know what you’re up to…” Clearly disgruntled, Yrdoviel offers the following comment before turning the team away.
“Should you see a selkie playing Jazz, you will know that bullfighting is taking place. Your signal to move will be people screaming very loudly on roller coasters or any other attractions.”
|
:)
|
Team 07: The Alexandrites
Team Style: tfw you write a thesis on the suspicious activity
Current Points: 50
|
Team 7’s captain, Whitefoxtails's
Outrider, sits down with a notebook, eyes wide and ready to take notes. “Please, tell us everything we might need to know.”
Yrdoviel mutters a few ‘magical’ words under his breath… “phone, diamond, someone slips on ice, games, aha!”
“You will know that if you hear some other drakes talking about food, they will really be planning for two people HOLDING HANDS. It is up to you to make them call out “Darnit.””
|
:)
|
Team 08: Being Nice to Kids, Old People, and Animals
Team Style: Fussing over Everyone and Everything
Current Points: 50
|
Team 8 each offers Yrdoviel a complimentary cotton candy and cotton candy lemonade and asks if he should be in bed at this time. “It’s late!” Butterscotchmple's
Cutler comments. “You need rest so you can be in tip top fortune telling shape.” Amariel's
Dantalion adds in.
The team covers him in blankets before finally sitting down.
“Discount tickets to a ski hill in the fortress of ends are a bad omen. You will never be able to listen to metalcore without also thinking of the discount tickets, and buckling to the tickets will bring kitchen knives to your opponents.”
|
:)
|
Team 09: Socks Jaguar
Team Style: Casual Anarchy
Current Points: 40
|
Team 9 enters the tent and awaits their fortune. Delcat's
Curio offers a tip of a cardboard box, while Haoang20082's
Cainwen empties a bag full of dragons onto Yrdoviel’s table. Yrdoviel catches sight of something in SugaSuga's
Potato’s pocket.
“I see you are holding bear hands. Will you be doing ‘first to eat 80kg of oarfish wins’ later today? Some advice from the other side: should you smell too many dragons, turn back. Should you see fireworks, crowds galore will follow soon after. And beware the fried twinkies.”
|
:)
|
Team 10: The Sugar Glider's Pencil
Team Style: Backstabs Georg
Current Points: 20
|
While Katsuokai's
Unknown of Team 10 distracts Yrdoviel with a tip of a fancy pen, Shakly's
Azalea swipes a trinket from the beings of the Second Age, made only from the most precious materials known to dragonkind, from the tent. Yrdoviel notices and simply chuckles.
“Consider the Ferris Wheel. It is not built to code, and thusly may prove a good opportunity for stabbing someone.”
The team gets the hint, puts the trinket back on the table, and shuffles out of the tent.
|
:)
|
Team 11: Work
Team Style: Shrugs
Current Points: 50
|
Team 11 enters the tent and sits down. Hyleoroi's
Astarot leans on the table and nearly falls asleep. Firra's
Miyazaki sighs wistfully. jbapple's
Snowy offers Yrdoviel a chair, but he is already sitting.
“Enjoy the tightrope walk. No one else will be there so your team may be able to collect as much soap as you need for your purposes.”
|
:)
|
Team 12: Murderous Capricats
Team Style: Shady Squad
Current Points: 20
|
Team 12 neglects to tip. mine's
Benzaiten pokes at the tent pegs a bit, while Keyina's
Nithael tries to get a good look at what’s behind the table. Yrdoviel asks the team to sit down.
“I urge extreme caution in the face of live musicians. A carnie doting on their cat may be happening left and right, with gemstones spilling out the walls and prizes being won around every corner. But in these festivities lies an insidious force, armed with a bow, poisoned corn dogs, or even a really big snake plushie. Should you find yourself encouraging your team with ‘Make Icedad proud!’, turn back.”
|
:)
|
Team 13: Shampoo for Perfect Curly Shiny Hair
Team Style: Those cool kids who stand around in a parking lot
Current Points: 30
|
“This is so lame…” Chessboard's
Allea remarks while staring unamused at the cheap glitter and tinsel.
“It’s all fake anyway.” heavylobster's
Firgen mutters.
Yrdoviel turns to the group. “Now is the time to spy on the carnival crew. While your opponents are focused on the water shooter thing, the balancing on the tightrope thing, or candied apples, your team is primed to take the winner’s pot. Your signal will be ‘I don't want to go home yet!”
|
:)
|
Team 14: Pinstriped Cow
Team Style: Shy Friends
Current Points: 40
|
Team 14 quietly sits down, each offering Yrdoviel a small tip of treasure. He thanks them and gazes into his crystal ball.
“Should you hear religious views in conversation, steer clear of any nochnyr dressed in a dragon costume.”
|
:)
|
Team 15: Platinum
Team Style: *trips over their own shoes*
Current Points: 50
|
As Team 15 sits down for their fortune, shadow9119's
Veik goes to offer Yrdoviel a tip of one table, but accidentally slips a bit, ending up throwing sticky notes, slippers, and balloons into his face. Yrdoviel takes all of it as a tip.
“Beware checkers, though a checkered fox might be a good omen to you and your team. Pad your chances with a dragon statuette and teddy bear hands.”
|
:)
|
Team 16: Finally!
Team Style: Drunk on Enthusiasm
Current Points: 30
|
Team 16 enters the tent jumping and bouncing and yelling. “That was totally wicked!” says SommerBee's
Crest. yyalls's
phaedrus and CherryWave's
DaJi, er, lick their elbows? When Yrdoviel finally manages to quiet the group (aside from the occasional excited peep), he offers their advice.
“Fortune smiles upon you! If someone calls out “Dang it, I'll get it next time.”, then their balloon pop game is ripe for the picking. Strike now.”
After each team had taken their turn, you notice Yrdoviel and Fortune splitting the tips behind the tent. The following night is quiet.
