You're walking back to your house after working tirelessly all day at a job you despise, as has become your everyday routine. You turn the corner, expecting to see the usual nondescript building looming over the street, but today you receive a surprise!
Wait, what are all these people queued up for? Is there some kind of event going on?? But who would even hold an event in such a boring location...?
Curious, you get closer and spot a sign near the front of the line: "Fortune-telling Shop - Now Hiring!! No experience required!"
A fortune-telling shop opened up here? That sounds so sketchy, but all these people are lining up to go inside...I wonder if someone famous is telling fortunes? Well it could be fun, I'll try it out and see for myself! It's not like I have anything to lose by going once.
You enter the queue and after a while you are let inside where you meet the young man—no wait the KID who seems to be the one reading peoples' fortunes. While this puzzles you, you notice the girl standing behind him motion for you to take a seat. Now that you're seated, still feeling kind of suspicious, the kid begins telling your fortune.
"I see it now. You are very dissatisfied with your current job, aren't you?
You have been looking for a way to make a drastic change to your life
and for something that will bring back your excitement and make you feel fulfilled everyday."
The pen that was set on the table starts moving on it's own (!!!) and writes the final words of your reading on the notepad in front of you:
If you feel like you're stuck in life, why not take the first step to living the life that YOU want?
Although you might be afraid of losing what you know and have, you'll realize that those things were never of much importance in the first place.
Not important enough to keep holding you back from the future that you desire for yourself.
Stunned at how accurately this kid managed to address your biggest worry, you realize that the crowd outside wasn't because of some big-name fortune-teller, but rather because this kid seems to be the real deal.
"You're spot on! I've been struggling with my current job. I just needed that push to finally make my decision. I think I'll take this as a sign to start looking for something that would make me happier.
In the meantime, would it be alright if I applied to work here? I noticed the recruitment sign outside and I'm amazed by your skills! I would love to learn how to help others like you do."
"It's more than alright, we actually haven't been able to find anyone willing to help out despite how busy we are...it's a big mystery for sure.
I won't be able to teach you to read fortunes like I do, since you aren't a necromancer, but I've got some tarot cards on hand after hearing that this type of fortune-telling is popular in this world. Let's have you try reading fortunes for some customers with these cards to start with."
Since I'm not a what?! ...uhh maybe this kid is a little strange after all? Oh well, let's just not think about it too much.
"Alright! I'll have a look over the cards and try my hands at telling some fortunes. I hope my readings can help someone one day just as I've been helped today."
