| Gaze into my crystal ball | Started by: Mr_Obvious on Feb 12, '08 15:56 |

I was in the midst of picking up some "protection" money from some of the local businesses, and stopped by one of my usual customers, The Fortune Teller / Palm Reader. Unfortunately for Tiffany the Teller, she had made some bad bets this past week. She had put all of her money on the Chicago Cubs, which meant she was a little short this week. I'm a compassionate man, so I told her she had some options, either she come up with an idea to repay me before I leave, or I break her knee caps. Just then she came up with an ingenious idea, she would trade me her crystal ball for this week's money. I agreed and went on my way. After arriving back at the headquarters, I decided to give it a whirl. I read the base of the ball; it read "This ball is a multi-talented, crystal ball, it can not only tell you your immediate future, but you can also enter a month and year, and it will tell you what significant event happened that month. *Warning* this ball is not one hundred percent accurate." I figured first thing's first, and asked the crystal ball, "What's in my immediate future?" It responded, "Your future is bleak, you won't live another month." Well that was kind of a downer, so I figured I'd start plugging in random dates. The most interesting one I tried was Aug 1969, and it responded "In New York Stood Woks will be incredibly popular." So I found it very interesting that Chinese food will be so popular in 1969, that Chinese restaurants will have standing room only, at least that's what I assume it means. So now that I have this wonderful new artifact, I figure I'd share it with all of you, are any of you interested in your immediate future, or any particular dates. |

Finnegan was intrigued by the crystal ball that the man presented. Generally, he was not a believer in fate--he made his own life and his own destiny sprouted from the seeds he himself had sewn. Still, he couldn't help but wonder what predictions the ball would make. He raised his hand as to be seen and spoke up. Sir, I'd be interested to hear of my immediate future please. |

Alright Mr. Finnegan, lets see what the ball says. The ball starts to hum (it must not know the words), and it makes the statement, "Mr. Finnegan, you will live a long healthy life, plus today is your lucky day, you may consider playing some blackjack" Well there we have it, the magical ball speaks the truth again. |

| Ok, magical crystal ball, what's in store for my comrade Sevenfold? *hums* It seems here the ball says, "That today is an unlucky day, but not terrible; it suggests that as you're walking down the street today, you'll probably be splashed from a car driving too fast through a puddle." *hands Sevenfold an umbrella and a raincoat* maybe these will help. | |

Though he knew better than to put his faith in the crystal ball, the news was somewhat a relief! He had not been expecting good fortune. Finnegan smiled and shook Mr Obvious' hand. Thank you very much, sir! He did a quick inventory of his wallet. If you'll excuse me, I've got some cards to play! The man turned and headed to the nearest casino, whistling as he went. |

Sevenfold chuckles at the crystal balls response... How will that happen? It hasn't rained in a while, there are no puddles... As soon as he finishes his sentence a down pour of rain comes down. He frowns and takes the umbrella... Thanks... |

| No problem Mr. Sevenfold, by the way the bill is in the mail for the charges on the raincoat and umbrella. I suppose I should've mentioned that earlier. | |

I'm no crystal ball but I should have seen that coming... Sevenfold reaches into his wallet. He looks inside and sees that it's empty... Oops |

| Mr. Obvious, so this crystal ball of yours tells the future, huh? I'm not impressed. Can it do something worthwhile like give me the answers to some of the eternal mysteries this crazy, crazy, world of ours holds? | |

| Well, I suppose I could drill holes into it, and use it as a bowling ball, but from what the sign says it is only to be used as a future predictor. Sorry, that'll be $19. | |

Amazed by the uncanny ability of Mr_Obvious to predict the future of a few, Orpheus decides to have his future predicted. A crystal ball eh? What does it tell of me Signore? |

Isabella doesn't believe in such thing but seeing Sevenfold immediate future come true...she had a second thought. Excuse Mr_Obvious, please tell me my immediate future? She stares at the magic ball hoping for good news. She had a lot of bad news recently and is still shaken by the recent war. |

| The crystal ball is telling me something that's going to happen in your immediate future... yes... very soon this will happen. It tells me that you will soon be poorer due to investing in a poor product. That'll be $50. | |
