If you are not a patron but an avid diviner yourself, the Third Eye offers the chance to purchase all the tools of the trade.
Long Description (200 words min):Alessandra has struggled to find a purpose in London, teaching was not her forte, and she missed the simplicity of knowing her place at home, within the darkened walls of a diviner’s den, reading palms for tourists and giving them vague hints that invited them back for more.
The witch spent time trying to find something similar in London but couldn’t the fit and authenticity that she desired. A small income was found performing a segment on WWN giving broad fortunes to masses, and taking calls, but divining at a distance was just not the same. So, she sought to use the last of the money gifted at her Nonna’s passing and open a den of her own.
Do step inside The Third Eye.
This diviner’s den is small and cosy, with low lighting, a pleasantly scented mist rolls from a crystal in the corner and swirls around your feet. The room is lined with velvet settees, large plush cushions scattered about. A sturdy wooden table covered in a glittering star-patterned cloth, five generations old, sits in the middle of the room, a large pale blue crystal ball sits in the middle, fog rolling, it is the owner’s favourite. A stack of gold edged; well-worn tarot lay beside it, waiting to be read.
The walls are lined with tools of the trade, many available for purchase to the aspiring diviner. There is a small selection of palm-sized crystal balls, an array of tarot sets, many different types of tea along with an eclectic range of teapots, scrying dishes, pendulums, and wax candles. Bones and other rare items are available on request to serious diviner.
The future is not always clear, and interpretation is key, but the answers to your darkest desires and burning enquiries may be found within The Third Eye.
What purpose will this shop serve other than selling things and being the home of your character? Why would people want to RP there just for fun?Beyond the general shopfront concept, I think there’s no solid home for Divination yet in Elsewhere. It’s one of the core magic and a lot of characters work on raising these levels, but I found in elsewhere it often becomes less predominant as it doesn’t have the home it had in the castle.
The Third Eye would provide a place for employment for divination-inclined characters, and a place for fortunes to be found within. Fun threads of giggly school kids dropping by for palms read, or getting your fortune told as a dare.
It’s a place where players could cite their character learning a hint or piece of information that could further their own plotlines themselves; however creative they want to be.
I was also hoping to provide the opportunity to sign up for a reading thread. In which an employee can pick up and engage with a customer, they can discuss what information they want told – relevant to their characters plot and lives – how cryptic they want it to be when presented and then RP out the reading.
