Destiny & Free Will, #7 [Period 1, Monday, August 18th]

The students should have gotten a handwaved notice to dress nicely and meet at the Causeway, where they were met by a large portal and a disgruntled looking Ghanima. 

If you thought you heard her muttering nasty things in a variety of languages regarding "stupid brothers," "stupid Spacing Guild," "damned stubborn Naibs with more pride than sense," "crazy detectives," or "never taking Faith Lehane anywhere ever again," well, you might not be wrong. 

"Right."  Reaching inside her coat, Ghanima retrieved a deck of the Dune Tarot and fanned the cards at them.  "Step right up, and ask me what today holds for you.  Through there -" she gestured at the portal with the cards,  " - is Monaco.  Home to some of the most wonderful casinos this Earth holds.  Your mission is to take the future I forsee, and try to beat it.  If I tell you that you are destined to win big, sit outside and give away money.  If I say you fail, go cheat the casino by whatever means you choose.  The one rule is not to get caught, because I am not paying for bail.  I want to see how many of you manage to flaunt destiny." 

"After all," she grinned humorlessly, flipping up the Hanged Man with ease.  "Navigating the future is a family talent.  Who wants to try and beat the oracular Atreides?"


[OOC:  Please to be waiting for the OCD DONE!  Feel free to tag me ooc if there's a future you want Ghani to give your student!  Otherwise, it will be randomized.]

Gwen paid attention to the lecture. This looked interesting, especially since there weren't likely to be any cheats who insisted on the games being strip.

Reno was there, and Reno was grinning.

Gambling. Gaaaaaaaaaambling.

It was so short Romeo's attention had no chance to wander. He liked the idea of thwarting destiny.

Reno was all about cheating fate.

When there wasn't a dare involved.

"Okay. What do I gotta not do?"

Hinata listened quietly, and wondered just how accurate a prediction could be.

Romeo hoped this went better than his last experience with tarot cards.

"So what do the cards foresee in my case?"
