[ Cheryl is sick. despite that, she's done her hair and makeup and dressed herself in a red silk robe. a lot of effort went into her appearance, but it does little to hide the fact that she's unwell. she looks tired. at home she was a pro at snapchat, and she holds the camera out at arms length. all that's missing is the puppy filter! ]

By now you've all heard of the great tragedy that's befallen us. I was caught right in the middle of everything, an innocent bystander in someone's very cruel plan to shake us all to the core. I don't scare easily and I don't wilt, but I could use your help in this trying time.

First: obviously i am confined to bed until I recover. You can entertain me by chatting with me and telling me your stories. Make sure they aren't boring.

And secondly: If you're able-bodied, perhaps you can avenge me. [ she pauses. smiles. ] Us. It's the right thing to do.

[ and as she ends the video: ] Hashtag Olympia Strong. [ yes, that's right. hashtag. this is Cheryl Blossom, after all. ]

[Ah, commiseration. It's mildly comforting.]

Guess.

[sweetwater]

Are you the Seer?

[knitpick]

Nailed it.
What gave me away?

[sweetwater]

You're a storyteller. And isn't that what seers do? They tell stories of the future?

[knitpick]

In the traditional sense, yes.
These titles don't always mean what one would expect, but in this particular case you're mostly correct.

[sweetwater]

What's the incorrect part?

[knitpick]

A Seer sees.
In my case, I do happen to see the future.
Specifically good futures.
But it works differently depending on one's aspect.
One of our alien friends was a Seer of Mind, and as far as I could tell she seemed to be able to see what different outcomes could result from different choices.
Or something like that.
Whether or not she would have made a good storyteller is up for debate, but if her DMing is anything to judge by, she would have thrown about a dozen dragons into the story for flavor.

[sweetwater]

Can you see the future here?

[knitpick]

Only the most fortunate possible future, but yes.
It's a blessing and a curse.
I try not to obsess over the future and trying to control it.

[sweetwater]

That must be hard. It would drive me crazy.
