Shine Masateru<br/>Time: June 5, afternoon<br/>Location: Shopping District, "Threads of Fate"<br/>Tagged: Chisato, Rise<br/><br/>"Shine Masateru." he offered her a thin smile, and shook her hand curtly. He allowed the women to speak for now, as he went to collect the cards from the reading he did for Chisato. He also puts the cards away into a blue cloth pouch with a yin yang symbol on it, and closes the drawstring. He carries it off towards one side of his shop, to a cabinet behind one of the display counters. He opens it up, and casually places the pouch inside, deftly withdrawing another one; this one being white and devoid of ornaments.<br/><br/>"I imagine you are here for a reading, Miss Kujikawa?" he'd ask as he shut the cabinet, and walked back towards his seat. Along the way, however, he gets another flash of pain; how strange for it to come again so quickly. He stumbled a bit, and nearly dropped the cards, nearly fell, but a hand came to rest along the rim of a particularly large copper bowl; one might call it a miniature cauldron. Yet, it looked big enough that even a grown man or woman could bathe in the thing.<br/><br/>It was currently full of water, and he could even see his reflection in it; if he could look, that is. He felt temporarily disoriented, like a sudden case of vertigo, and a distinct feeling of...dread? Yes, that would be a nice word to describe it. Dread. But, why..? What was wrong? What was going to happen? And, for the millionth time in this past hour, why does it all feel so familiar?
