Destiny & Free Will, Week VII [Monday, Period 2]

[atreideslioness]

The students should have gotten a handwaved notice to dress nicely and meet at the Danger Shop, where they were met by a Ghanima waiting just outside the door.

"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?"

Faith. That had always been a huge part of Scully's life, in different ways; her Catholic faith, belief in Science, in rational reasons... it had fallen away somewhat through time in Fandom, but she still clung to it.

"Change. And..." Scully gave Ghanima a wry look. "I know they're not meant to be people, but that Knight. Could be a friend of mine. Or me." Which she hated to admit.

She sighed, and traced the Judgement card. "Something to hope for, this."
