Come see the short man in the back booth playing fortune teller with a die. Just the one, six sided. Tossed once, twice, considered. Once, twice, considered again. The pattern one-two seems to be a theme in where they land, too.

He's bored. Happily so, because he's hearing pretty things in the numbers, but still, bored. Do pay a visit.

Amanda walks into the bar carrying a plate of Sukiyaki in her hands and looking around for someone in particular. She really hopes he's aruond but since he said he was going to stick around until Ramon was out she figures that he would be here somewhere.

It doesn't take long before she locates him and walks over. Placing the dish in front of him, "Bon Appetite" looking rather please. (http://japanesefood.about.com/library/weekly/aa053100a.htm) ()

He slides the die in his pocket and smiles at her, before procuring a pair of plastic wrapped chopsticks from God-knows-where.

"Considerate of you, many thanks. You're not eating?"

She smiles, "No I ate when I was cooking." which is true enough but she does slide into the seat opposite of him.

"Your welcome." Yep Amanda cooked. She is rather good at it.

He certainly appreciates it.

"Thanks, Amanda. This is really good."

He did need something to eat. Tends to forget quite a bit.

Alot of people do and Amanda seems to feel the need to feed them. Maybe she spent too much time in Africa. Or maybe it helps her keep her mind off of her own problems.

"So what sort of game was that?" because she did notice the dice.

"Fortune tellings."

He pulls it out again.

It really is just a simple one. Six sides.

"I dabble."

"You can tell fortunes with dice?" she looks impressed though not particularly suprised. He is a god.

"What have they been telling you?"

Not quite a God. Not quite.

"Simple things. Flaming rays of sun. Clearing fog, colour emerging. A variation of Mo, actually. Human in origin. Tibet."

Close enough in her eyes.

"How enlightened." it's not sarcasitc, totally. But when she thinks of Tibet she thinks of the monks and the idea of them sitting around rolling dice to tell the future or reach enlightement just doesn't fit.

You'd be surprised.

"Want to give it a try? Think of a question, hopefully not yes or no. Give the dice a roll."

"That is difficult." as every question that comes to mind is a yes or no question. She spends a good deal of time thinking about it. What is my purpose?

"Alright. Have one." she rolls the dice.

"Ra Tsa."

Two, four.

"Moving forwards. Purpose. Flinging yourself into challenge. Unfavourable to hesitate. Seek responsibility. I'm just rattling off concepts, see if they apply, okay? This is technically all filed under 'the King.'"

She smiles, "Well they certainaly know what they are doing." yes they apply and somehow reassures her.

"Thank you." look she is smiling.

That she is.

"Any time, Amanda. Look it up. Mo, Tibetan. Easy to do, if you have a book of meanings, or if you know them."

"I'm sure I can track them down. I have alot of connections." She may even take a trip to Tibet even.

"Go for it. Though the local library would be a better place to start."

This mun got it from Chapters.

Nods, "But that would take all the fun out of the hunt. Beside I haven't been to Tibet is centuries." She'll probably check the library first anyway.

"Lovely place."

He hasn't either, but sounds musing. He and Ramon were looking for some place to escape to, after all.

"Have fun on your journey, I suppose."

"Thank you." since this is Amanda she will probably go whenever the fancy strikes her. WHich is now, "In fact if you will excuse me I think I'll go now." And she can still get back for future threading today thanks to the miricle of Millitime.

"Sure thing."

He waves her off with his chopsticks and a small smile.

"Have fun."
