You Might Need Some Help On This One

"I'll go ask around at the fortune tellers", you decide. You'd never admit it to Albert, but you're just a little wary of magic. You hope he is, too. "See you back here later, okay?"

With a casual wave, Albert sets off, wearing Fred on his massive shoulders like some bizarre fashion accessory. You push off through the crowds in search of Carla. The fortune-tellers' district certainly looks promising, with a multitude of gaudy tents proclaiming 'Bargain futures' and 'Karmas read while-U-wait'. You snort in disbelief; you've never believed in this mumbo-jumbo.

You stroll around for a bit, trying to see anyone who might be Carla. Annoyingly, all of the tent flaps are closed, probably to add to the mystique. You'll have to enter one of them and ask questions. The things you do for friendship ...

You pick the brightest and most colourful tent, and stride in purposefully. To your suprise, it's as dark inside as it was bright outside. A robed and hooded figure leans over a table ... you aren't even sure if it's a woman. You hesitate, fumbling over your words. "Erm ... I'm looking for-"

"You're looking for the Voodoo woman you know as Carla." It isn't even a question, just a statement. Your jaw drops onto your muscular chest. "How'd you...?"

"I know much." The arrogant tone impresses you as much as the display of knowledge. "So. If you wish to know this, I will read your future to find the answer. For a price." You grudgingly accept, handing over a note. The figure then grabs your hand and studies it closely. Can they read a morph's palm as well? And what kind of future are you about to get?
