--obody eat the meatpies!

[ guess who's just barely turned her locket on before shouting her Very Important Message at it? this girl. the only light in the room is a dim candle at the other side of the room and the glow of the video feed, but her eyes are still glowing a bit, a bright green, and she's obviously not in a trance but she totally just had a prophetic dream.

even if it is super.. vague.. ]

For the next - [ quick, math! ] - four days and three nights - [ thinkythink ] - not including this one, don't eat the meatpies. None of them. Not even a bite.

It'll kill you. Maybe.

[ her voice is still rough with sleep and she's got a dark red smudge on her cheek from where the heel of her hand was pressed to it when she fell asleep a few hours before, but. well. she seems totally serious. so, so serious about dem meatpies. ]

I don't know why and I don't know what causes it and I don't know who exactly could end up dead, but. Just to be safe, I'm going to say that nobody should eat them.

-- At least, I think it was a meatpie. It could have been any kind of pie, but they were little, you know? Those little personal pies they always have at the feast, and you can get them in the- you can ask for them anytime. [ wuhh she's tired. crashing fast, even as she's gesturing "LITTLE PIE, THIS BIG!!" with her hands at the camera.. ] I saw a people eating them, and then dropping dead. Quick flashes of it. No details. S'just- the pies.

Okay.

Going to go back to sleep now. But don't eat the pies.

[ sleepy nodnodnodnodnod, and then she's shutting off her locket. and she might not even remember this later, not in full detail, but. well. there's that. ]



[ ooc: this isn't actually anything ..important, I just wanted to futz with Rachel's canon abilities a bit here in a silly way. which I have a permissions post for here if anybody wants to actually have their character choke on a pie, hahaha. or whatever! always up for plotting vague vision things just to mess with characters' heads. could be important things, or silly things like this. but yeah. nothin' to read into here though, which is the main point of my ooc note c: ]

[Lumina was sleeping when this turned up on her locket, loud enough to wake her up, so Rachel is getting a bit of a glare from the tween.]

Congratulations, that's the lamest prophecy ever.

[truesight]

You're the- lamest prophecy ever.

[ her expression scrunches up a bit at that, a hand moving to rub at her eyes ]

Though it wasn't a prophecy, it was just a vision. A stupid, blurry vision. It's amateur hour over here, apparently.

[chaoticwhimsy]

[Lumina is tired enough that she giggles at that sad comeback. Then she plops her head back on her pillow and leaves her locket resting on the bed next to her.]

A vision of the future, huh. You're a seeress.

[truesight]

That's a cool word for it. But yeah, sure. They call me the Oracle, back home.

Are seeresses common in your world?

-- Seeeeeressses. Seerses. See-er-ess-ez.

[ shhhhh she's tired ok ]

[chaoticwhimsy]

Like an oracle-drive. [Lumina says this mostly to herself, looking up at the ceiling.]

No, there's only Yeul. Was only Yeul. Was and is. [Lumina huffs.] She's complicated.

[She looks over at the locket again, frowning faintly.]

So if you're a seeress, are you going to die now?

[truesight]

Um, no? No. Not unless someone force-feeds me a meat pie, I guess.

[ but she knows that's not what she meant ]

Why would I die?

[chaoticwhimsy]

That's what happens to a seeress. She sees the future, but it kills her. Yeul was always reborn, but anyone else...

[Like Serah. Lumina hesitates for a moment, looking almost...sad. But she manages to cover it up after a moment by drawing in a breath.]

Little visions didn't do it right away, though. Maybe meat pies are too small.

[truesight]

I'm glad that's not how it works in my world, gods. I've delivered a Great Prophecy, so I'm pretty sure if it was going to happen, it would've been then. Otherwise- I've had small visions all my life, I just never knew they were real until about a year ago. Now I know that dreams like this always have a very real warning.

[chaoticwhimsy]

[Lumina rolls over to peer at the locket again.]

So you can see the future, but you don't die. Because that's fair.

[truesight]

Well I can't see every part of every future. But I can see certain moments tied to people's fate. [ and a person's "fate" in general, but that shit's usually scary, so. no. ] And that's only back home. Here, it's- This is the first vision I've had in months.

[chaoticwhimsy]

That does sound pretty different from the seeress. [Lumina shrugs.]

I guess it's probably a good thing you don't have to die, too.

[truesight]

I'd say it's pretty good, yeah. I'd mark that in the "pro" column.

[chaoticwhimsy]

So do you ever see anything exciting?

[Don't eat the meat pies is not exciting.]
