Who will ask their question next? Lena, Jasmine, or Dubala?
Three questions, Jasmine goes first
Lena lays her head gently upon Angelo's. "I'll always be here for you if you need release, Angelo." Angelo's cheeks turn light pink. He leans his head back a little against her soft bosom. "And I for you, Lena." He tilts his head back and gently kisses her lips. Ilena starts to pout. "I want a turn too..." Jasmine giggles. "We'll talk about that later." She steps forward and leans a little against the table. Ilena looks at Jasmine, "I best make a good impression." smiling while gathering up her cards.
After gently lining them up, she begins to shuffle them. "Have a seat and ask your question, Jasmine." Dubala pulls up a nearby chair for Jasmine as Lena pulls Angelo and his chair off to the side while deepening that kiss. Ilena glances at Angelo before her attention refocuses on Jasmine. Jasmine sits down. "Thanks, sis." Her eyes are focusing on Ilena. "What are your true intensions?" Ilena blinks several times before chuckling softly. "Going straight for the throat, are we? I like that."
She bites her bottom lip while continuing to shuffle her cards. "I happen to like people with strong personalities like Angelo and yourself." She reaches out a hand and caresses the back of Jasmine's hand for just a moment before continuing to shuffle the cards. "Even if you won't share him with me. I would enjoy having the opportunity to play with you." Jasmine smiles. "We'll see. Use your cards to answer my question properly, please." Ilena licks her upper lip.
"Oo, I didn't expect you to want to use your question for this. All right." She stops shuffling and places the deck face down. She presses her hand on the left side of the deck, spreading it out over the table. "Pick your five cards." Angelo and Lena slowly stop kissing by the time that Jasmine begins to pick her five cards. Jasmine picks two from the left end and three from the right. Ilena watches carefully. She slides the unchosen cards back into a pile before lining up the five cards Jasmine had chosen in order.
"I didn't say this before, but the way you chose your cards is quite telling of your personality. But I digress." She flips over the first card to reveal the Five of Wands upside down. "Yes, this makes sense for the first card." Jasmine lifts a brow. "What is that supposed to mean?" Ilena chuckles. "So impatient. I was getting to that." She turns the card upright for a moment and gestures to the card. "Because this card was upside down when flipped over, the opposite of this card's normal meaning is intended."
Her pointer fingertip glides over the spear being held by the hand near the base of this card. "You see, this card is normally about conflict, competition, arguments, aggression, tension, rivals, and clashes of ego. As such, due to your question, you are being given the answer that I desire the opposite of this. Which is amongst the following: end of conflict, cooperation, agreements, truces, harmony, peace, and avoiding conflict." She gazes deeply into Jasmine's eyes. "I hope that is enough of a hint to catch my drift, beautiful."
Jasmine swallows. Nodding ever so slightly. "Clearly you desire to not be at odds with us. Perhaps even regardless of the cost." Ilena giggles. "That about sums it up. Good! Now, on to the next card." She flips over the second card to reveal the Queen of Wands upright. "Ah, I see." Dubala lets out a heavy sigh. "You love dragging this out, huh?" Ilena starts to laugh. "This is my main job, miss. There is no way I would do this half assed." Jasmine gently pats Dubala's back. "My sister prefers action is all. Please, continue."
Ilena nods slightly. "All right, but I would like to know her name first." Dubala grumbles softly. "I'm Dubala. Please continue." Ilena smiles brightly. "With pleasure, Dubala." Her eyes glance at the card in question. "Ah, right. The Queen of Wands. This card tells of how intense I am about my desires. I assume I've made that quite clear. However, if you wish to infer for yourself. This card's base meaning when upright has to do with confidence, self-assurance, passion, determination, socializing, charisma, vivaciousness, and optimism."
Angelo blinks a few times. "Might I ask why you have changed how you are answering her question in comparison to mine?" She looks at him. "The answer is simple. The question and the person inquiring require a different format. She is suspicious of me which is understandable given how we met. Thukeg certainly made quite a messy introduction for me." She purses her lips and pouts. "I like intense situations but not like this." He sighs softly. "That's certainly true."
Ilena smiles at him, "Thank you for your understanding, Angelo." her attention refocusing on Jasmine. "Shall we continue?" Jasmine nods slightly, prompting Ilena to flip over the third card, revealing an upright Two of Cups. Ilena blushes brightly. "Oh my. This card makes me sound so bold." Lena tilts her head a bit. "More than you already are?" Ilena nods slightly. "Definitely." Her pointer fingers gently tap together. "It makes it sound like I want to get married to him. Or even you all. Hmm, I might be over thinking it."
Her eyes look at them. "I'm not totally against it but I don't know you all well enough for that. At least not yet." She swallows. "Anyway, this card's upright meaning has to do with unity, partnership, attraction, connection, close bonds, joining forces, and mutual respect. Much like one would need in a partnership or tight bond like marriage." Jasmine nods slightly. "That's a fair assessment." Dubala and Lena nod in agreement. Angelo gently scratches the back of his head. "I, I see."
Ilena smiles. "You're young though. I can see why you wouldn't be interested in marriage just yet. Um, I'll continue on to the fourth card." She gently flips over the next card, revealing an upright Ace of Pentacles. "This almost feels like I set this up in advance..." As she speaks, they stare intensely at her. She smiles nervously. "I, I wouldn't do that." She clears her throat. "Anyway, this is about new opportunities, resources, abundance, prosperity, security, stability, and manifestation. I needn't say more, right?"
Jasmine scratches her right cheek. "I know you didn't. Believe me. I have been making sure that you couldn't, but still. It seems suspicious." Dubala leans in closer while glaring at Ilena. Ilena lifts her hands. "I don't mean any harm, honest!" Angelo gently guides Lena until she sits upon his lap. "We understand. Please, continue." Ilena nods. "Right." She turns over the fifth and final card. This time revealing an upside down Seven of Swords. There is an extra-long pause as she looks at this card. "..."
Dubala walks around the table and places a hand on Ilena's right shoulder. "What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?" Ilena swallows hard. "Um, it is just taking time to come up with the right words for this one." Dubala squeezes Ilena's shoulder a bit harder, causing her to wince. "You expect us to believe that a Tarot Master would need time to read a tarot card?" Ilena lets out a heavy sigh. "All right. This is literally a tricky card. When upright, this card means lies, trickery, scheming, strategy, resourcefulness, sneakiness, and cunning. However, on the reverse it means the following: confession, conscience, regret, maliciousness, and truth revealed."
Jasmine gently taps her right hand's pointer finger on the table. "Are you saying you have a regret or something you need or want to confess?" The ladies glare intensely at Ilena. Ilena lets out a heavy sigh. "Okay. Fine. You got me. I, I don't want to just fuck. Okay?" She looks down pitifully, "I, I want a relationship, okay?" then looks up at Jasmine. "I-is that so bad?" She looks at her with pleading puppy dog eyes. Although this was unknown to Angelo, all of them collectively thought that Ilena was adorable within this moment. How will Angelo and Jasmine respond to Ilena's confession? Will it be positive or negative?
How will Angelo and Jasmine respond to Ilena's confession? Will it be positive or negative? (Alternate answers welcome.)

Man or woman?
I am basing the world off of "The Gamer" by Sangyoung Seong. I wanted to shake it up and add more flexibility.
