YoinkTober 2022 - Tarotober

[Jitter]

Dmeck, 9.10. is one of them but not exactly Eino. 10.10. is A grandma, Róisín already recognized her as Berit Eide, Aksel’s grandma. Did you know Berit fought the Nazis when she was young?

I love your take on the Leader Arises! Sigrun must be so confused!

[tehta]

Jitter, is it Tuuli?

Dmeck, a fine set of vignettes. And yes, Mirasol, I love the art!

Pah, I am still struggling to find time/energy to write. And now I am so far behind! And I have WIPs, too! I think the weekly prompt cadence works much better for me. (So I should probably be thinking about Sigrun.)

You should be enjoying the Tuscan Sun.  (I though you said you were in Tuscany. )

Tehta, yes, it is the possibly crazy person

Thank you.  Thanks also for the grandma's name.  I looked back to see if I could find it.  I think I remember someone mentioning Berit's background.  That would be a fine story

[Mirasol]

Mirasol, I’m sure you already guessed but I love the teacups!

I did guess that. Thank you!

Jitter and Dmeck, your scenes are lovely, as always!


10: 6 of Wands

I´m still doing the "pick 3-4 markers and draw a witch-character"-prompts for Yoinktober, and I´ve decided that all the Wand-cards will be witch-characters this year.
A new leader arises, as a gardening nature-witch gets adopted by his new feline overlord.
(apparently what happens if you randomly argue with your family about Expressionism over dinner is that you end up stealing one of the era´s popular colorschemes for a prompt. :'D )




11: lack of self-discipline

The only thing my brain supplied for this one is "cookies", so...
But someone´s eaten them all already. Ahem... *flicks crumbs off her shirt* wonder who that could have been...



EDIT: changed the picture for 11 cuz I forgot to sign it whoops...

12 - 3 of Pentacles - (U) Marketable Skills / (R) Skills Unmarketed

Mikkel was between jobs.   He knew it was only time that he'd find something else.
He heard rumors about an expedition to silent Denmark.  Now which role should he apply for.  He had many that would be useful.  Except for mage.  That is not even a skill.

Mirasol,
Lovely pictures.  I see myself in 11. (LOL)

[tehta]

Mirasol, I now want a cookie! And I like the witch. I have a watercolor palette that's expressionist themed myself, ha.

Dmeck, I hope you don't mind, but you inspired me .. to write a half-drable on a similar subject!

**"

"I used to be a mage," said Mikkel.

Onni glared.

"One of my best jobs, really. We sold out every night. People would walk for up to an hour to watch me teleport myself right across the room."

Onni glared harder. "That's impossible."

"Not if you have a twin brother."

[dmeck7755]

Tehta,
I am honored I was an inspiration.  I also love the Drabble, it made me smile and laugh out loud

Bravo!

[Jitter]

Hee hee great Mikkel content, plus pretty pictures!


I’m knackered but will have a full week off starting tomorrow afternoon! So, after a bit of recuperating under a pile of dogs, I’ll catch up!

[Mirasol]

Haha, both of the Mikkel-drabbles are hilarious! :'D


12: marketable skills/skills unmarketed

Featuring mine and my brother´s player-characters from Splatoon 3. In which the question of all questions is: Huh? Which skills should I be marketing? Is there just a gamemode I´m missing where it rains money?
(I´m starting to get the sneaking suspicion though that the skill in question is in fact not a skill, but simply time invested. :'D )




13: Dawning Perception

Ugh this one really didn´t want to be photographed... This was the best I could do. -_- I´ll retry next time the sun shines. (EDIT: I have done so now)

From what we see from Reynir and Lalli, being in the dreamspace and by extension, sensing the things that lurk around gets way more intense when you sleep in the Silent World. They both didn´t exactly react to it that much, probably because Lalli was used to the effect and Reynir didn´t know anything else, but I´ve been thinking about military mages who weren´t prepared directly out in the field. Seiður-Academy is in the middle of a safe-zone, after all. Their first night outside must be terrifying.
Also I felt like drawing my character from the SSSS-roleplay, Dísa. Her first night (close) to the Silent World was before she finished her training though, on the first longer fishing trip she went on with her family at about 15.

13 - 2 of Swords - (U) Lack of Perception / (R) Dawning Perception

Emil is confused. His parents said people did not like him because he was rich.  He is no longer rich and people still don't like him. He decides he needs to think harder on this

[R.M.S.N.P]

5 - 2 of Pentacles - (U) Manipulation / (R) Sham Discovered

From For want of a nail
Balmoral, Scotland, Winter 2095

Robert drums his fingers on the rails as he looks out over the grounds.
"Nervous?" Michael asks "I reckon she'll say yes."
He gives a derisive snort.
"Oh, she'll say yes. I've planned this too well for that. I've worked out what makes her tick, just like I do every time."
Michael's response is nothing but a look of horrified surprise.
"Oh, Michael, you really didn't realize? You thought I wanted her for anything more than to get my family off my back about getting married? She's pretty and charming, sure enough, but not enough to hold my attention for long"
Michael turns to leave, but is checked by another sentence from Robert
"Don't bother trying to warn her, she'll just think you're jealous, won't she?"
Michael listens, and leaves.

A few minutes later, Robert turns to see the door open.
It's not Michael
It's not Emily
It's Arthur, his hard, weathered face filled with cold  fury, his rythmic voice deep and rumbling like a brewing thunderstorm.
"You deceitful bastard, I knew I was right to suspect you."
"I..."
"The next words out your mouth better be the sincerest apology you've ever uttered, or I might give in to my urge to throw you over that railing."
Robert struggles to muster his usual confidence, and shakes slightly under the pale, withering gaze.
"I assume she's decided that she'll never see me again?"
"She has, and I dare say I agree"


6 - The High Priestess - (U) Hidden Knowledge / (R) Superficial Knowledge

From Over the hills and far away
Baruisheen, Ireland, Winter 2073

"So, what can you tell us about your attacker?"
The inspector's voice is calm and kind, her soft voice soothing.
"I... I didn't see much. I'm sorry..."
"Nothing to apologise for. None of this was your fault. How could it be? Just go over everything you saw. Take your time, even the smallest detail could be the most important."
The soldier speaks in English rather than Gaelic, with an accent that rises and falls, in a firm, reassuring tone.
Emer takes a deep breath, and begins.
"It was dark, and she had a scarf and hat covering much of her face, but she had light hair, and... and... she was quite tall, I suppose..."
"How did she speak?" the inspector asks
"She had a fast, high voice, she sounded like she was from Galway, maybe"
"And how did she walk?"
"Sorry?"
"Did she stride? shuffle? march? slouch?"
Emer stops to think awhile, and replies with "She had a sort of... limp, with her left foot"
The inspector looks at the soldier, they exchange a smile, and stand up.
"Thank you for your time, Miss Callaghan. We have the information we need."

Fantastic work as always, Mira! You know, I might use the SSSS RP for some of them as well.

Mirasol, these are great again! I love Disa! Is the puffin her fylgja?
