Madame Lushique’s

Fortune Telling Services: Detroit

After running a successful operation in Chicago Madame Lushique decided to take to the road for a little while. She hooked up her caravan to a beautiful tall Shire horse called Eaeao and began to make tracks. She licked her finger and help it up to the air to work out the direction of the wind. "Detroit" She said and set off in that direction. Normally she would fly there but due to the caravan being to big for cabin luggage she knew she would have to do this journey by road. Lucky for her she could foresee any traffic jams and go around them to cut back the time a bit. From time to time she had to stop to allow her horse a rest and to get him some hay and water. Eventually she arrived into Detroit and found the perfect place to go and set up base. She got everything ready and put Eaeao in some local stables so he too could get some much needed rest. She being as tired as she was took an early night.

The next morning she woke up and prepared some new flyers and sign to go outside of her caravan. The rituals for Detroit are different to Chicago due to a difference in air quality and even the plants spoke in a different language. So she had to make adjustments so that the readings she did in Detroit would be as effective as those in Chicago.

At last everything was ready to open for business so all she had to do is put the new sign board outside with the list of her offerings and send a local boy to go hand out the flyers.

The sign read:

With everything in place and reading Madame Lushique sat back and awaited for her first customer to arrive. 

It took nearly all day, but Mikala finally got orders to do a hit. The instructions of a few simple words and the target's name were like music to her ears. The cold blooded killer quickly left her business, The Doll House and found the target, Danny Lacroix at a pool hall in the Black Bottom district of Detroit. For several hours Mikala watched him play pool and hustle other players out of money. When he had enough of the game and put on his jacket Mikala expected him to leave, but instead he approached her at the bar.

"Can I buy you a drink, sweetheart?" The target asked and winked at the gorgeous mobster.

This job is going to be so easy, Mikala thought and smiled. "I'm in the mood for something stronger than a drink. Do you live around here, handsome?"

Thirty minutes later Danny Lacroix was dead in his apartment. Mikala smashed a window and took a few valuables to make his murder look like part of a robbery. The police would never know there was a hit put on Danny Lacroix and never know the last thing he saw before he died was a wicked smile on Mikala's gorgeous face.

After the job Mikala went to a popular ice cream shop in the district of Corktown and ordered a banana split. It was getting late, but the cold blooded killer knew she wouldn't be able to sleep if she went home. As she left the ice cream shop she saw a flyer on a light post that advertised Lush's business. Mikala decided to drive around Detroit and look for the fortune teller's caravan. It was after midnight when she finally found it. The mobster got out of her car and slowly approached the caravan. She hoped the owner didn't mistake her for a late night intruder and rush outside guns blazing.

"Hello Lush!" Mikala called out loudly as she stood a few feet from the caravan. "It's Mikala. Don't shoot!" 

Lush looked up in a panic when she heard Mikala's voice. "hushhhh" She said. "I guessed you worked out our connection but please when here at the caravan I'm Madamne Lushique! No one else knows I do this on the side" Mikala grinned "Good it means you still harm people" Lush glared at her and said "Wanna shout that out too?" The ladies just laughed as Mikala made herself comfortable down upon one of the cushions. 

They chatted about their childhoods and how they both were just playing with their toys when they heard the guns go off in the war. Their mothers placed them into some bunker under the house and made them promise not to move until they heard the sirens that the war was over. They were only around 4 at the time, yet both can remember sitting there holding hands and making wishes. Afterwards they got separated and placed into different childrens homes. Was a lot of children in these homes due to the same story and many of whom went into the life of crime. 

Silence hit them both but it's funny it like there was not been a separation for they both seem to have the same senses. "So, what did you do to that poor chap tonight" Lush asked Mikala just stared trying not to smirk what so ever when Lush continued "You can't hide that from me, you have a damn sparkle in your eye. The same sparkle you got when you use to throw creepy frogs at the McHannon lad!" "Who would cry like a baby" Mikala jumped in saying. "You should wear some dark shades whenever you kill" Lush commented.. Mikala grinned as she said"Screw that, I love having them look me in the eyes as I do it!" Lush giggled "I meant after the deed is done and you light up your smoke of pure satisfaction!" 

Just then Lush shouted "Duck!" making Mikala literally duck for her life as she went diving under the table. "What the hell" she said. Lush laughed and apologized for making her friend panic but there was in fact a duck at the door. "Sorry hun, for this duck keeps coming by at this time every night lately, ever since I've arrived in Detroit. I think he's been trying to tell me something.." Lush said as Mikala looked at her gun saying "I can solve this problem if you like, fancy dinner?" The duck hissed at Mikala as if he knew what she have just said. "Leave the good fella alone!" Lush laughed as she threw the duck some left over pizza.

"Come sit back up upon your cushion and lets do you a reading" Lush said as she got up to go change into her costume of Madame Lushique."I've got a feeling it will be a strong one so hold on to your hat Mikala and  choose your 3 objects" 

Screams are heard from outside the house, Lush looks outside her window and sees Primus running naked towards her house, shouting;"It has begun!!!"

As he reached closer to the gates she can see that he is holding a carrot in his hand, while he jumps over the fence and hedas straight towards the front door...

Lush hurried downstairs in a desperate attempt to lock the front door, but it was too late and Primus was sitting on her couch.
He looked at her, as he handed her the bloodstained carrot and said:

"I need my fortune told asap, but I only have this one carrot as my personal object" 

Madame Lushique looked at Primus trying not to blush but she could not help but do so to the carrot holding fella. "Here make yourself decent and get out of my caravan to perform the rituals!" She snapped at him.

Primus stood up placing his carrot down and stepped outside to sort himself up. He placed on a robe that Lushique have lent him and went to do the rituals and cleaning stuff. Finally he was done so made his way back into the caravan. He sat down and looked alot more calmer.

"Now we may begin" Lushique said. "As you know you normally need 3 objects but you have come with one. A carrot" Primus nodded saying "Yes" in an excited way.

Lushique decided to read the tea leaves for this one for she not long had a cuppa anyway. "Well young man for this one is very simple to do. Judging by your appearance when you arrived I have to ask you a question. Did you find yourself on a farm tonight?" Primus eyes were of worry as he said "Yes, which is ever so strange I have no idea how I got there" "I see" said Lushique. "What has happend is you have been sleep walking.. you walked yourself to the local farm with no clothes on in your sleep" Primus was starting to wonder what else he has done so asked "and?" Lushique continued "This carrot belongs to a bunny called flopsy - she was about to eat this carrot and you stole it from her! - Maybe out of old habits for I happen to know you stole candy from kids when you to was a child" Primus tried to shake his head as if to say "no not I" but he lowered his eyes with shame.

Primus you came to me naked tonight holding a carrot. You stole it whilst you were sleeping from flopsy the bunny rabbit up at the local farm. Your mission is to back track and give this carrot back for flopsy is pregnant with 5 babies. Go now she is hungry! 

BrickTop notices the Caravan parked up in Detroit again, not many people seem to enter it, perhaps its the strange rituals upon entering that it people off coming here. But after thinking about it, Brick decides to obide by the rules, he usually Doesn't like taking his shoes off, he hopes the caravan in clean inside. Walking inside the caravan is tastefully decorated, well just as about as tasteful as you expect for a fortune teller living and working out of their caravan. He Smiles and says hello to Madame Lushique who instantly signals his to the sink.

Brick begins to wash his hands, feeling Lush's cold stare at him, making sure he washes his hands properly, not forgetting behind the ears. He dries his hands on the crimson red towel thats hanging up next to the sink, and then steps to the side, removing both of his shoes, and looking over at Lush, as if to say "do i really have to do this?" Lush just gives Brick a slow nod in reply, smiling as she does. Brick feels slightly embarrassed, like he is the joke of some prank going on, but he continues, turning around stamping his feet "einie minie mina mo, einie minie....."

Taking a seat on the right cushion, Brick feels the first tasks were easy, no real challenge there as he knows he is defiantly a MAN! Sitting down he reaches into his right trouser pocket, pulling out a $100 poker chip, it was from his first night in a casino, and he keeps it on him as a good luck charm with his money. His second item was a sapphire broach, similar to his don button on his suit, but this in fact belonged to his late mother, Emily, who died in a tragic accident involving the King of Britain's horse, as she fought for womens sufferage. His final item was in his shirt pocket, it looked like a small brown leather covered book, a small bible perhaps? No, infact this was a book of drawings his son had drawn for him, he kept is close to his chest at all times, to remind him that his son is always with him to carry on his legacy whatever may happen.

"I am ready" said Brick, letting lush know he was ready to see what she had to say about him.

A young man with large caterpillar eyebrows and a goofy smile wanders in to the caravan and sits in the middle.

Mama luuuuuuuuuuuush! Your favorite fluffball is here!

ChrisPalko smiled wide waiting for lush to read him his future... He started to take his three things out of his pockets... First and foremost he took out his pipe - dirty, old, and abused it had seen better days. Next he took out His Zippo - ChrisPalko smiled at it and flipped the top back and forth, a strange eerie glint wandered to his eye as he thought of all the fun times he had with it. Finally ChrisPalko took out his gun ​- His prized possession. Passed down from his father's father's father, years worth of notches and small dents from malfunctions and stray enemy bullets, he lay this in front of him, admiring it.

Okay mama slushie your fluffball is ready!

Dredd enters Madam Lush place and tapes big pink hello kitty picture.

Here Lush my friend told me you will love this.

Dredd smiles at Lush and then leaves.

ChaosSpike just flew into Detroit a few hours ago. He had been busy as usual with his restaurant and bar and his families. One thing that never changes for Chaos is he is always on the run. Earlier he had to put in orders for both his restaurants and run several errands for his families. Today was a bit different however, he was looking to slip away and relax for a bit. He wanted to try something new for once and just sit down. After finishing his pork order locally from Detroit he wondered down the street. He caught the glimpse of something itneresting and new. Madame Lushique’s, the name intrigued Chaos and drew him in like a magnet. He entered the place and looked around then he spotted one of his hardest working family members, Lush.

"Good day Lush, how are you? Did I read that correctly? Fortune telling! Oh my this is exactly want I want and need. Would you care to tell me mine?"

juddy waited patiently for her turn to meet the fortune teller.She's planning to do some business in Chicago and want to make sure it will be successful...

Finally...my turn...uhhhhmmm..madame...i am on my way to Chicago for a business trip and i would like to know if my travel will be a success.

Somebody told Behmen that there is a Fortune Telling Service somewhere here in Detroit owned by a mysterious lady named Madam Lush so he started looking for it. Not so far away, he found a mysterious caravan so he quickly come near to it. He knocked and called out in front of it saying:

"Hi! Anybody home? I'm Behmen from Corktown and I want to try your fortune telling service."

The door opened so Behmen entered the caravan and sat on the right side but he got surprised when there's no one inside. He decided to sat quietly while waiting for the Fortune Teller. He took out his gun, a knife and his favorite underwear. These are the three things he brought needed for the fortune telling ritual.

Chaos read the sign carefully

He seemed to remember all the rules so followed them as they stated. He sat to the right. But then he got a funny idea and decided to slide over to the middle of the bench. He wanted to try the Detroit special medium to see what happened. So he requested such.

"I would like to request the Detroit special Lush."

Alice hobbles into the caravan. She saw a middle-aged woman draped in silk scarves and asked her:

Ayuh, ma'am, are you able to read mah palms?
