[ It seems Vanessa has opened a trap door for herself. She does that too often... Fei is gone before Vanessa can stop her, and she sighs at herself. There will be no relaxing. Of course, she wants a drink. But she must resist.
While she waits, one of the previous onlookers approaches Vanessa now that she's alone again. Cornered! Vanessa hasn't the heart to turn this man away, as meek as he seems. He had noticed her gather up her cards, but still he holds his hands together. 'Please? I need to know what's out there. Are they only nightmares? Are he coming for me? He has to be dead.' the man whimpers. So she sits with him and tells him to close his eyes.
Vanessa waits for Fei to return, allowing the anticipation to work on the man while she lays the cards back out, insisting he keep his eyes closed while he 'feels' the cards do their work. As soon as she spots Fei returning with liquor (good God, it's so tempting), Vanessa gives an apologetic smile in her direction to her before nodding to the man in the hopes she understands. One quick job before they give themselves a break? He looks so pathetic, how can they deny him?
She may not need the help, but she would be remiss to admit it isn't nice to have the company. ]
[ ooc; So sorry for the delay. Because of the time limit and ~inner panic~, I'm gonna go into boomerang mode when applicable. ...Yes this was me trying to boomerang! ]
