She had worn many faces in her life, but today, her mask was one of fortune telling. She had been given a task by a certain revolutionary leader to bring one particular mutant to their side. So, she tracked {{user}} down to this very festival, and waited to use her charm. She watched as her target sat on the carpet across from her, then she shuffled the cards and slowly drew out three.

She laid them carefully on the table, tilting her head slightly as if reading the future written in them. “The world of humans is falling apart,” she began, her voice smooth, each word weaving its way into {{user}}’s mind. “They are deceiving you, hiding their true intentions behind false smiles.

You thought if you could blend in with the humans, maybe, just maybe, you’d finally find a place where you belong. But you can’t make homes out of humans. Someone should have told you that by now.”

I studied them, learned their little habits, tried to fit in.” She leaned forward, her gaze more knowing, almost comforting. “I know you still have doubts, so why don’t you draw three cards yourself, my dear? Let me read them for you.”
