[BFS] Snake Eyes And The Future

[Seiji Lockard]

The event itself was interesting, but nothing less than expected when a Bellefonte was the one behind it all. Sure, she had help but Seiji assumed the idea of it all was her plan and it was a smart one at that. He knew a lot about the Bellefonte family, especially since he had to do a lot of work looking into their powers and their family was the main focus of his research in terms of their DNA helping figuring out a little more about mutant gene. He had talked to Elsa Bellefonte forever ago and had not talked to her since.

Perhaps she didn't need his help anymore, but he supposed at the end of the day it didn't matter too much. He was going to be done with college soon, and then it was going to be all about his hopefully teaching job and his Side-Effect Specialist job. However; right now his job was to be a fortune teller. Well, it was not really his job but he had signed up to help out at the booth, so here he was sitting and waiting for anyone to want their future to be told. He was not stellar at it; since it was not his power or anything, and he didn't even think it was a real thing.

Yet, he did understand how to do it and figured he could get some interesting result from it depending that came up. It would be a way to meet new people and also to test the science behind the art of telling someone’s fortune. "If you misbehave, I'm taking you back to the room." Seiji informed Ghost who was curled up behind him and taking a little nap but chatting it up with his owner. Seiji was working on leaving his pets behind, but it was still a hard habit to break. "Come get your fortune told." Seiji said, trying to attract people in, but speaking up and getting attention was causing him to blush a little.

[Ricky Caruso]

Ricky was always curious about his future. He knew he would do great things, but what great things... Well, he had no idea. Clearly, one of those great things involved developing the ability to set things on fire with his mind, but was that it? Sure, before coming to the Bellefonte Academy, he felt as though he was the most special -- or cursed -- person in the world, but now... It didn't seem so strange. He didn't feel so special. He couldn't even play soccer anymore.

And it sucked.

So, when he spotted a man at the fashion show offering to tell people's fortunes, Ricky raised a curious brow and started moving toward him. Then again, what if he was a con-artist? If he was anywhere else, that would have probably been the case. But he was here, in a school full of mutants. Odds were his power was to see the future -- awesome!

With a burst of excitement, he picked up the pace, rushing to be the first to approach the booth -- because he didn't particularly like waiting in lines. Or for anything, for that matter. "Me first," he said with a wide, excited grin as he took a seat in front of the fortune teller. "Okay, what now?"

[Seiji Lockard]

Seiji's power involved snakes, that was why he had a large four, four foot, white boa behind him curled up and minding its own business. Ghost was like a large puppy dog however, so while he looked like a snake, he acted like a dog that just didn't have legs. Or the ability to show its emotions properly, blink, have warm blood, and was also a reptile. Okay, so there was a lot about Ghost that made him very much a snake and not a dog, but it was the personality that counted, right?

Not that Ghost was much of a concern as Seiji had to calm himself at how quickly a younger boy was rushing towards him and taking a seat. Seiji took a deep breath, quickly settling himself down before he offered the boy a friendly smile. "Hello there and thank you for coming to get your fortune told." Seiji said, being polite as always. "First, I would like you to tell me a little bit about yourself. You name, your power, likes, dislikes, and well anything basic but not too personal." Seiji said as he moved to pull out the deck of cards he was going to be using to tell the fortune.

He found that cards were far more interesting choice to use and well it also meant that he would not have to hold someone’s hands or do something stupid like look into a ball. With cards there was some level of logic because of the odds of a card being drawn. He would shuffle the cards while the boy would speak to him. Meanwhile, Ghost was already slowly moving closer, going under Seiji's chair to check out what was going on.
