"Hmmmmmmmmm... HMMMMMMMMMMM... ah yes, the future is clear..." Mable said as she consulted her crystal ball. Samos sat at the other end of the table.

"I predict sunny skies for the next week..." Mable began.

"Oh, that's wonderful!" Samos cheered.

"Except for at the castle."

"Oh... okay."

Mable closed her eyes again, "Hmmmm... yes, I see more. I predict Kawasaki will not see business for the next twelve and a half days."

"A bit specific, but reasonable."

"I will receive a large paycheck in two days."

"Very specific."

"Buttercup will have a bad hair day because for years her hair has always been so perfect and it's time for change."

"A bit too specific, but alright."

"Hana will trip on a rock and get a black eye to compliment that fucking perfect complexion for her age."

"Are—are you alright?"

"The crystal ball is having a bad day."
