[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.]

[Ronan was never one to let rudeness stop him from walking into a store after seeing an advertisement and pointedly not buying the product.]
Is this all you do? You don't sell any extras, more sets of tarot cards, anything?
[Chainsaw started to hop off of Ronan's shoulder, her attention caught by some bauble, when Ronan waved his hand in front of her. She settled back down with a disgruntled tck.]
no subject
Strange of you to visit, then. Just enjoying the theatrics?
[ This guy is rude, but he's used to Beau. Molly can work with it. ]
That would be terrible for business, wouldn't it? Just giving out cards like that.
[ The tiefling gestures to shelf with some crystals on it. ]
I do sell those. They're shiny, if your raven wants a little gift.
[ Ravens and goblins, man. ]
no subject
[Ronan glanced at the crystals. He tried to recall if there might be some use for those other than scrying. As if that counted. You could scry by staring into headlights.]
I'm not looking for my raven. I don't touch this crap, but my fiancé does.
[He didn't say "crap" like it were an insult, at least no more than anything else he said. Rather, it was just one of those ubiquitous words in Ronan's vocabulary.
He did walk over to look at the crystals.]
Do these do anything other than drive my bird crazy?
[Speaking of, Chainsaw's gaze had become rather fixed on the crystals. Fortunately for everyone, she never stole from strangers]
no subject
[ He rolls his shoulders and stretches slightly, as this wasn't a customer and Molly was in technically his own home. Glancing at the crystals, the tiefling shrugs. ]
They're pretty and I get them for cheap at another store. Can't say there's much else to them.
no subject
So the fortunetelling shtick is all you got?
[This was what he got for being homesick. Nothing's ever quite like home.
He looked around for something that might give off a magical aura, unsuccessfully. He set off other people's magical senses, not the other way around.]
no subject
You came to me, my friend. I never insinuated that I had anything else to offer.
[ There's a definite magical aura around one of the amulets the tiefling is wearing, a pretty little thing with gold hands holding three shiny red gems.
Other than that, it's rather boring in here, magic-wise, unless the man can sense demon blood - but that's kind of obvious just looking at Molly. ]
no subject
No, but sometimes there's more to it than that. The gimicky psychics usually like to sell a bunch of crap. What kind of psychic are you?
[Given his tone and the sharp look in his eye, his interests have shifted now from buying to determining if he's the real deal.]
Or are you just in this to steal souls?
