Hakurei Shrine, runecasting edition!

Heya Anonymous, how are you doing tonight?

>ADVICE, FORTUNE-TELLING, AND FRIENDLY CONVERSATION

Unlike Reimu, I specialise in runecasting, which is a similar method of fortune telling involving the Elder Futhark runes. However, while I'm inexperienced I can also provide tarot readings if asked.

>If you want a reading, just get dubs, trips, quads, etc.
Ask a question and get an answer based on what the runes tell me.

>As is the standard, GETs can also be donated
So feel free to provide someone else with an opportunity if you see them struggling.

Fortune cookies are also available, just provide a name.

Advice and friendly conversation are both free of charge, feel free to give and receive!

Al reporting in here to continue conversations.

-Al

It's likely that all of the runes will have an influence on your future, but I see Wunjo as being the result of the trial that you'll face from the others.

I'm glad that you're looking, Chief.

hot tea and early, like i usually am for events

What made you settle on using the Futhark runes, Vert?

Ahh. Yeah, sorry. Terraria probably won't be happening. Not with me, at least

I wonder which I'm leaning towards more. The relationship or financial gain...

im always looking

Gonna stay a while. I'm doing well. You?

It's not my fault! Someone took my avatar and wanted me to stop using it, so since Remilia is pretty much the only 2hu i like i chose her, other ideas i had were Nitori i guess, i could've picked something way worse though, like SpeeeedwaGONnn.

>Somewhere in the distance, there is a pastry with binoculars

-Sweet Roll

its been so long, but my tea is still too hot, and i dont have anything better to talk about

Rune roll

I have a love interest who seems always out of my reach for complicated reasons on both sides, but lately we've been getting closer again and it's been magical. Even so, it's hard to read what's going on and if anything will come of it. I want to know if my relationship with this person will change; will I get what I'm seeking or will I have to change my desires and be happy with what I have already?

From a long distance

They're the most common and traditional type of rune, so I felt like they were the most fitting. If you were asking about the runecasting in general, it would be because of the interest that I've always had in Nordic and Germanic culture.

Out of curiosity, I decided to see if I could cast a single rune and get a response to that.

>Eihwaz
The drive to acquire something, an indication that you can achieve something that you've set your sights on.

So I assume that all depends on you.

Unless you're playing Final Fantasy, which is rather often.

I'm not too bad. A little tired, but mostly good.

You take that back, Speedwagon is great.

Only in the distance? Don't you want to coe closer?

What sorcery do you use to keep tea hot for a long time? Mine cools down really quickly.

I got lucky with a decent streak, like 11 games won in a row. Went right up to 2678 or something.

I'm probably not that good, these are just examples of decency.
-Koi

it's either blood magic or bad luck, not sure which it is, because i dont have warm tea when i want it D:

You do rune casting now? That's so cool vert, how does it work?

It appears as if we have a tea sub-culture brewing in the threads.

That pun was inadvertent as well. I don't know what is wrong with me today.

Were they always used in mysticism? I always thought runes were used as a type of written language.

reroll

Phi by the way.

again agan

i have it open right now and i was watching the last thread the entire time

its still steeping, but its almost done brewing, and i cant do puns when im cold

I'm here too now. What kind of landscaping you doing? Maintenance or construction aspects?

-phi

What kind of tea do you drink 2b?

-phi

-hugs-

come on buddy

can tea person get hugs?

>I don't mean to add more to your plate. But for completeness sake, right?
Yea, that is a good point.

>I really hope you have the determination and patience to keep going.
I have it.

>What will be the final product of all of this? Besides your deeper understanding of the programming language involved.
Well aside from the utility of being able to use it myself I am planning on releasing a copy of my notes. (in multiple formats)

Basically I want to allow others to freely use this set of notes as a guide of sorts, allowing them to learn the same languages at a faster pace than I did. (without making my mistakes)
While the project benefits me directly with knowledge I am hoping to spread it.

sorry it is taking so long for me to reply, your questions are good ones and their answers take a little time to type.

>It's hard when you're this shy...geez.

I have...reasons not to give out my name here.

Its all on me, huh? That's what I'm afraid of...

Tea puns? You're just steeped in comedy, aren't you?

come on pal

Hahaha, seriously?

Nothing is wrong with you, geez, don't be so garsh on yourself, you can make puns too every now and then, besides, don't you drink tea too? I'm not sure if people here do it because they enjoy it or rather for the properties their choosen kind of tea has, i mean, mot that it really matters anyways to know why.

I will, please don't hurt me -Takes it back...for now-

There's always plenty more sweetrolls in the pantry.
-Koi

i wanted to make a tea pun like that, but mine are still brewing in my head

Will i ever get a qt trap gf?

Hey phi, I see you've already moved over. Nice to see you again. I think each of the runes stand for something (such as Thurs for Frost Giants if I remember my runes correctly) and so its a bit like tarot cards.

Both but mostly construction. Its actually a combination landscaping / flooring company that works together, so I could be either inside tearing up or laying down floors, outside maintaining or putting in new things for their yard, or even adding decks and patios (we do that too, but its usually a bit more expensive). Its either that or I do the observing and planning for it. Frankly, it was a lot of work when I did it in the past and I expect it to be about the same now since if I joined I'd be in a higher up management position where I also have to train the new people they hired, but I hope it works out.

Also, I just realize I replied to the same person twice.

-Al

come on friend

If I could offer you some other means of warmth, I would. But I'm not much better off. I rely on overclocking my PC to heat up my room.

I should really get central heating installed.

I'm much more of a coffee girl. Stereotypically of the "don't talk to me" in the morning type of a girl.

I will say this though: I do enjoy a cup of Earl Grey from time to time, and definitely some barley tea in the summer months.

*holds you tight and lightly twirls* Affectionate tonight?

rolling

Oh my god...
-hugs tea user too-
Follow your dreams.

Give me cirno lewds

That sounds unlucky, it's just unfortunate when tea stays too hot to drink for too long.

That depends on the method that I use.

Single-rune and three-rune readings can be done by drawing runes from a pouch and reading their meaning in relation to the future. These are the kind of readings I do most often. Three-rune readings can be done in one of two ways, either a simple future reading or what's known as 'Casting the Norns'

Casting the Norns is a little more complex and a little more interesting, as it selects a rune for the past, the present and the future. This allows for a greater view of the path you're on.

Finally, you can do a more complex reading by casting 9 or the full set of runes onto the ground or a cloth and reading them based on how they land. I'm less experienced with this kind of reading, because it's rather complicated.

They were a type of written language, but there is also many examples in historical texts where it's mentioned that a wise man would cast the runes to tell the future.

Not doing deep dungeon this time?

I find that a lot of these things are, unfortunately. The runes rarely tell a future that's set in stone, just a path that you're heading towards currently.

Why would I hurt you over that?

Haha double replies makes me feel twice as special. What kind of floor work do you do? Laying carpet or hardwood? Also management positions in landscaping can be pretty sweet gigs depending. What was the other job in the mix?

-phi

rolling again

Well then how do you take your coffee?

-phi

is this thread cursed or what

This is normally the time when *lurker mode* happens

Up until the point that there is no use trying to talk

-Sweet Roll

jesus i never realized how hard this is

I was hoping someone would appreciate that. I'm glad it was you, haha

Careful. Don't keep your puns in there for too Oolong

I guess we'll see what happens, then. I could do with either path, and neither of them seem that far off, actually...

if the queue times keep being ass im gonna be heading in there, i want my makai fists

GET THIS MAN SOME LEWDS!
Yeah! A lot actually, though I feel odd. It's like, I'm alright but I feel something is going to happen and screw me over somehow!

if you need hot tea, ask tea user, i have too much hot tea

That is both amazingly cool and a touch Confusing. How did you learn runes in one weekend? Are you still developing it?

-Phi

Don't apologize, please. I really appreciate the thoughtfulness behind your answers. Trying to frantically get back to me quickly is inefficient. Take your time.

It sounds like this project of yours has the potential to be a great series of books, rather than a simple compilation of notes. Have you thought of physically publishing?

I should start copyright and collect royal-tea on these puns, shouldn't I?

Only trying to establish a happy medium between business and casual. Wouldn't want to venture too far out into one at the expense of the other.

IT IS NOW FOOLS!!!!!!!!!

Ufufu. Bad puns are great!

Oh i thought you wwlere the bully kind of person :3 nevermind then.

Now i'm curious though, just whisper it to me, i'll keep your secret closed shut just as a strongbox.

roll

those are my royalteas, i burned myself getting the tea culture brewing

We usually tear up carpet and lay down hardwood. because that's where the money is, but we do both. Yeah, it's not so much a management job so much as a worker+. I would usually go in with the manager and inspect anything that might cost us extra (possible termites in the floor, multiple layers of carpet, etc.). The other job was doing patios and decking, we even do windows sometimes, but that isn't our specialty. The boss founded the company and grew it out by merging it with the landscaping company his friend had. And now they're expanding to be even bigger, hence me being hired back on and having new people to train.

gimme dat viking magic

Lurking never really hurts anyone.
-Koi

>Royal-tea
Oh god, not you too.
F U C K M E .

That was me, Al, in case you didn't know.

Also hey Koi, nice dubs, what's up?

-Al

tell me about Bane, why does he wear the mask?

I got you. This are all some good fitness jobs. I bet the pay is good too.

-phi

Why would you summon him?

Oh. Does it have to happen, or is that just how it works out?

It can be quite difficult. You could always see if someone with dubs wants to donate?

Then I think you need to carefully contemplate which path is the most fitting for you.

When aren't queue times bad? I'd offer to help you if I wasn't running this.

It is a little confusing, but the meanings of the runes don't change so it's not that difficult. I believe that tarot actually has the same kind of complexities, but Reimu has a preferred method she uses.

Honestly, lots and lots of work. But I'm also still learning in some senses, and I'm still not the best at weaving the meanings of all three runes into something coherent.

Great, my first fortune thread and you've cursed it.

I try not to be, usually.

tell me about dubs, why does he avoid me

Well can I request a casting if I get dubs? For practice sake. Also is casting the proper verb here?

-phi

Chai would have to agree with you. You were instrumental in starting this

Exactly! Intentionally bad jokes are so underrated

That will be hard. Overthinking and over-analyzing are two issues for me

Not trying to ruin the par-tea of bad puns you're having there, but these are all terrible...

You must really like that cake, careful to not get fatter though!

Hmm, i see, how could makins a few puns hurt the other side though?

I think it was Phi or Vert.

Also hey, not much happening today.
Just some housework and Overwatch.
Might do a little livestream tonight since I slept all morning after taking my brother to work.

can i have my royalteas? i will give sweets

I'll suck the dick of anyone who gives me the dubs

rerolleing

It's just that it will get progressively harder over time to hold down a conversation

well, at this current time

-Sweet Roll

Nep, Chief, would one of you be willing to donate your dubs to the person rolling?

You're more than welcome to. After all, these readings are for everyone.

So the Tiwaz Merkstave was correct? That's a little unfortunate, but if you need someone to talk to then I hope you know you have people you can go to.

Which question was yours?

Yeah, the pay is really good, especially when I help with inspections. I'd probably also be getting a lot more than I usually do at my work now, so I'll probably take the job even though its hard on the body.

Here, phi, take my dubs and make good use of them with a good old rune casting.

I'd imagine it would either be Phi or Mantis, considering those are the two I'm closest with. Probably Phi though. I hadn't talked with Vert at all until today, and even now it wasn't long. Good to hear life's been decent for you, I hope it stays that way.

-Al

here

Bane suffered a vicious attack earlier in his life, as depicted in the film. This then causes him permanent severe pain. From then on, he needs to always wear the mask, as it provides him with relief from the pain:

Nolan has revealed that Hardy's audio-muffling mask is actually pumping Bane's body full of anaesthetic. "Bane is ravaged by pain from a trauma suffered long ago," he explains.

And underappreciated art-form.
ha...
I read Merkstave as twerkslave. Please end me.

Naturally occuring

I normally wait for a good moment to join a conversation if I cannot make one

So I end up waiting a long time

-Sweet Roll

Are we trying to become my new assistant? Send in your resume; I could always use some help.

As for your question, I prefer it black if it is a light/medium roast. Not out of edginess, but out of learned necessity. Creamer and sugar used to be luxuries for me. If I'm having a dark/French roast, I definitely need a sugar and some cream in there.

Uh-oh. What makes you feel that way? What sort of mischief has my little sister been getting herself into?

How about a partnership?

Your Constant Comments about my involvement in this are flattering.

With time, people tend to begin to treat you with too much familiarity. When more serious matters arise and need to be tended to, they are less responsive and can drag their feet. Also, they may simply lose respect for you as a side effect of the prolonged informality. That is why it is important to maintain a balance.

You're overthinking and in turn struggling, don't try force conversation. Just observe and chip in when you find something to say.

Well, looking forward to a job I had an interview for a couple weeks ago. Don't know what the turnout will be, but the interview went well and they got me in for a medical check. Just waiting to hear back.
-Koi

well right now the wait is around 10 minutes give or take a few but deep dungeon is still faster getting into. only problem is deep dungeon gives 486,000 xp and the aery gives 639,200 so theres the problem

sure, not like i have anything to ask the runes

yes, i will take the royal, you take the tea, is this a good deal? yes it is

Yes. You can always just take my dubs for other anons, unless I ask for a reading that is.
Not being in therapy for example :>
What kind of sweets?

hail the trips, donate them to someone in need, if you wont use them

If you're ever bored and need a conversation don't be afraid to just ask me, I'm happy to use you to end my boredom.

I hope you get the job. Is it something you think you'll enjoy doing?

-Al

You hold out on us half of the time. What more do you expect? A conversation requires input from two people. With input from only one, it turns into an interrogation.

some sugar candies, a bit of cake, and a nice little brownie

>Now i'm curious though, just whisper it to me, i'll keep your secret closed shut just as a strongbox.

No can do.

Motorbike Postie, so I think I would enjoy it.
-Koi

Giving me your digits you gentlemen you. Just be careful that you don't get sucked I to a dead end because of good pay. Golden handcuffs and all.
Also it was me asking for you Friday.

-phi

I was lent dubs by the incredibly wonderful al.
See
-phi

*curtsies* As you wish, your Highness.

Nep, why have you been dodging out on your therapy? That is practically asking for trouble.
