"Umm... Good afternoon, Mr- Hanged Man." Justice tries to find the correct word of choice at the host of the current gathering, she find it perplexing, and the situation a bit confusing due to Mr Fool and The World's absence.
(Eh, the World is also absent?) Miss Judgement immediately looks at the far end side of the table, only to see the end seat empty.
Atop the world of gray fog, 8 figures covered in gray fog, concealing their true identity, but enough to outline their entire being, sat on their respective seats, yet the Hanged Man took the seat of the Fool, as the temporary host.
"It appears Mr Fool and The World encountered an unknown situation, forcing them to take an absence, as the most senior member of the club, Mr Fool and the World have given me the authority to oversee and authorize this gathering, let's proceed." The Hanged Man spoke nothing but the truth, but his voice obviously carried a hint of smugness.
(Hmph, showoff.) The Hermit didn't seem to find it to be a situation needing a note to be taken of, but rather, it appears her pride was hurt for some reason.
Like how can someone of low stature be chosen, as the most senior, it be a reasonable pick, but in terms of experience, Miss Hermit deemed herself much higher and better than him.
Her eyes really work wonders, even though, the Reader pathway were the best ones when it comes to deduction, Mystery Pryer wouldn't fall off.
"Umm, it looks like I received some diaries, but unfortunately, Mr Fool isn't here." Miss Magician then took the initiative as to how the gathering usually proceeded, by giving in Roselle's diaries, the ones she received today came from her teacher.
"Hmmm, since it comes to this, I think we can postpone it until "HE" comes back, let's proceed."
Miss Magician heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that.
Then came the transaction part, The Star stood up first, bowing first hand at the host.
"Miss Hermit and Mr Hanged Man, thank you so much for your cooperation, as payment, I be willing to give you Miss Hermit the sequence 4 characteristics after this, and Mr Hanged Man, we've already split the reward from our churches, so I hope we can come to a conclusion." The Star spoke words of sincerity and charity towards his fellow members.
"Alright, fufu." The Hermit agreed but not before giggling upon replying to The Star.
"I relay the message to Mr Fool." The Hanged Man agreed.
With that done, The Star took his seat back.
"Umm, guys, i have a commission to issue upon those staying within Backlund, I like to those of you to hear me out." The Justice then spoke words with uncertainty hidden in her tone, no matter how much she placates herself, it seems like she was a little uncomfortable.
(Commission? I would've really like to work with them, but I'm stuck in this forsaken lands.) The Sun felt a little weak upon hearing that, and unable to also cooperate with them like how Mr Star, Miss Hermit, and The Hanged Man worked together.
"What commission?" Miss Judgement, a so called bounty hunter and one aiming to become a high official beyonder of MI9, if there's a problem within Backlund, there's no better choice, and one who would obviously take the initiative first hand regarding such problems.
"Umm, eh, hehe..." Justice was really a lot more shaky and wiggly, moving more than usual, as everyone in the tarot club have their eyes on her.
"There's currently a pervet running around in Empress Borough, one who is also prone to peeping on other people at night, I would like for anyone within Backlund to work for me to catch that pervert." Justice then blurted everything out, because the more she hold it in, the more she be unable to speak it out properly.
(Pervert, well this is something.) Mr Moon then made a deduction, and tried to connect some dots upon hearing that.
(Well, last night, I did encounter two perverts running away naked in the middle of the night, could she be referring to those two?) A reasonable deduction.
(A pervert? We already have a lot of that around in Backlund, but specifically in Empress Borough, the laws would be obviously more strict there, so whoever that pervert must be seriously dedicated.) Miss Judgement pondered over her thoughts.
(Should I take part in this? I just partaked myself in a crazy situation.) The Star reminiscent a few days ago about the island, and Mr Fool crushing it with his hands personally, he was tired, but working is part of his life now.
(I be sending the Star in Backlund soon, should I also help? I think it wouldn't be much of a situation that will take a long time.) Hanged Man gave the commission some thoughts.
(Gosh, I missed those days when I used to ran around late at night, flashing nearby passerby's!) Miss Magician seems to be reminiscent of her indulgent times in the past.
"Would you be participating perhaps in this commission, and what's the reward?" Miss Hermit then suddenly asked a question out of curiosity, and for their own being.
"Umm, sorry, but I can't leave my home at night, so I just be entrusting this to anyone who accept, and I guess I can at least compensate 10,000 pounds to everyone, but it will be dependent on everyone's performance, regarding how much you gain on those 10,000 pounds, hehe."
The Hermit's eyes sharpened upon hearing that, she tried to took notice of every detail Miss Justice makes on her seat over Miss Magician's.
Suddenly, she smiled.
"Alright, let me partake in this." Miss Hermit then slumped to her seat, and smiled appeared across her face.
"Then, me too! Perverts needs to be punished!" Judgement's words was firm and full of conviction.
"I guess I can also roam the Borough at night if I have the time." The Star agreed.
"Perverts scares me, I'm out." The Moon said so.
"I guess I can take a temporary dock in Backlund." The Hanged Man wanted to take part in it.
With that, with the exclusion of the Sun, Magician, Moon, and Justice, the participants were then made clear, with Mr Hanged Man overseeing the commission.
Miss Justice heaved a sigh of relief.
"Then, Mr Hanged Man, can you relay a message to Mr World, that me and Miss Magician would also like to hire him once again.) Miss Judgement declared her commission, making sure everyone to hear her.
(Hiring Klein again? Why do they keep hiring him, I'm confused.) The Star upon seeing with starting from Miss Magician, to then Xio also participating in it, they seems to take interest and keep hiring The World for some reason.
"I look into it." Hanged Man nodded his head.
The transaction part then came in and passed peacefully.
"So you know, I once sucked a guy's cock down in some alleyway, it was so long and reached my throat you know!" Miss Magician with such vulgarity declared so openly without shame towards the members.
The Hanged Man couldn't help but close his eyes, palm on his face, as he grabbed a card of blasphemy, blocking the Sun's ears from hearing that shit.
"Ooh, that's nothing, I once took in two cocks in my mouth." Hermit by her Magician side made a strong remark, as if she were declaring who could do it sluttier.
"Impressive, but two cocks the size of nothing would also amount to nothing you know that, fufu." Miss Magician giggled.
Miss Hermit's temple suddenly protruded, as if her crew was being mocked right now.
Not only does she indulged herself with them, she also wanted to praise them for how great they are, an insult to them, is an insult to her.
"Tsk, I let you go of this one." Hermit dare to not get in a fight over pettiness with a fellow seatmate, admitting defeat, that's so unlike her, but whatever.
"How can you guys so openly talk like that, I mean, why?" The Star found it a bit repulsive for they speak of vulgarity so shamelessly.
"Yeah, have some restraints!" Judgement back him up.
"But we're all adults here." Not the Sun, he's not.
"Hey, I keep wondering, does the concept of virginity apply to the Gods?" Justice wanting to enter the conversation, uses her own curiosity.
"I guess." Leonard tried to add in to to what little knowledge he actually have of the Gods.
"What do you think of a sealed artifact of a dildo!"
"An object that needed to be constantly used, otherwise, it would make who ever nears it go into an uncontrollable lust, heh."
"Is it true that pirates often have sex with themselves due to them being stuck at sea?"
"Everyone on the ship already hooked up with each other."
"So I once caught two cheating couples for a very good prize, turns out, the client was planning to divorce his wife because he's been seeing her other friend, what a drama!"
"It's not that you should find it disheartening and repulsive, sex is a natural act, a progress that also pushes civilization!"
"I only do it with single people, I don't want drama and start fight with random because I once fucked their husband."
The Tarot Club then entered a frenzied state of conversation as they keep going on and on, but the Sun was forced to leave a little early due to the fact most of the conversation were all about them as adults.
With that, the gathering came to an end.
"By HIS will." All 7 of them bowed together towards the seat of the Fool, Alger a few steps away from it.
