[The camera clicks on, and is a little wonky and dark for a moment until a lavender hand corrects it to face the right way. An old dark-wood table comes to view, covered in dripping candles and shiny knick-knacks, and the room is covered in tapestries and drapery, like someone tumbled through a fabric shop and grabbed anything pretty or vaguely mystical.
You can almost smell the incense through the camera.
On the other side of the table is your friendly neighbourhood circus man, dressed about as colorful as the room and smiling coyly as he looks into the camera. (Or at least he fucking hopes he is, stupid modern technology.) Those solid red eyes reflect some of the candlelight, and the baubles and jewelry he wears glimmer as well - all to draw attention and make him look even more devilish.]
Good evening, gentlepeople of Riverview! I hope you are having a lovely time, working together in this little sanctum of ours until we find our way home.
I am Mollymauk Tealeaf, a not-so humble entertainer, here to bring you mystery and magic to your life!
[Leaning back, he flicks his hand and a fan of cards appear in it, the backs decorated with moons and suns. It looks old and expensive, and very well-used.]
Have you felt lost in this place? Uncertain were your life will take you after appearing here? Looking for guidance and signs on how to proceed?
[He sets the cards on the table, making a gesture with some quick sleight of hand to turn one up. It's a very intricately and finely drawn star.]
The cards are always here help you. Past, present and future lies in them, and at Cards of Curiosity, they can answer your questions.
[There's a bit of a movement again, and the cards all have turned over, showing different faces - a serpent, a sun, a tower. Molly smiles again - all fangs, this time. Some people liked a little goosebumps with their entertainment, and he knows how to work his lineage to his advantage.]
Come visit me as I interpret the mystique of the cards. For answers, for guidance or simply just for fun, I promise you an experience like never before!
[Insert Street Here], at the corner. Let your quest for answers lead you there!
[A little wave, and the camera turns off. Molly leans back against the beanbag and exhales. Things were easier in person, but hey. Baby's first commercial.]

[Paying him to buy all the pretty things he liked? A+ place.]
Friend readings on the house, obviously.
no subject
[It's not quite that simple, but Taako likes to undersell things if they required thoughtfulness or effort on his part.]
You sure you wanna read for someone tangled up with the goddess of fate?
[Also tarot readings remind him of Rin a little too much.]
no subject
[ Honestly Taako, what the fuck is your deal?? ]
Drinks instead? Gotta celebrate my new career with something.
[ He's honestly so fucked up about all of this, but it's not like he's going to say anything about it. ]
no subject
[They're artsy and weird little bars that serve cocktails that have smoke on them half the time. He's pretty sure one of them is run by an actual witch, but that's why it's fun.]
no subject
[ He definitely trusts Taako's judgement on those things, he loved the sex shop. ]
no subject
[He's objectively the best elf (shut up Lup).]
There's no rush, but I'll bet you get some sweet cash in time.
no subject
[ He's only met one elf, sorry Taako. ]
I sure hope so! This is more of a job-job than I've ever had.
