The tent is somewhat dark, but you can make out a small table with the ubiquitous crystal ball on a small stand next to a deck of Tarot cards. Looking around, there is not much decoration in place. The red and white striped fabric of the tent appears well used and somewhat yellowed with age. The chair in front of the crystal ball is utilitarian at best, not comfortable looking, but good enough for however long it will take to have your fortune read. It is then that you spot the Madame. She appears tall as she sits up straight on the other side of the table. She wears her long raven hair straight and flowing. Her eyes, a warm hazel, bore into you, belying the placid smile on her pale face. She gestures for you to take a seat, the only other seat in the tent. Leaning forward slightly, her jewelry jingling, all a part of her stereotypical “gypsy” look, she smiles a bit more warmly. “Welcome,” she says, “and what can I do for you today?” </span></span><br/>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/0b/TheFortuneTeller.gif)</div><hr/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: monotype corsiva;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">Rules</span></span></span></div><br/><em><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;">1.   One customer at a time, please. Madame Zoya’s tent is only so big. Please wait your turn.<br/>2.   You must enter and you must exit. No one should be left wondering if you’re still visiting Madame. (To be clear, your first post must be your “entrance” [yes, you must describe entering the tent], and your last post must describe your exit.) If you do not exit clearly, Madame will escort you out.<br/>3.   Upon entering, you may request either:<br/><span class="bbc_u">a fortune</span> – this is a relatively short reading, 1-3 cards only…<br/><span class="bbc_u">a reading</span> – this is a longer reading, but only about 3-5 cards, depending on your question<br/>4.   If no question is specified, Madame will give you a “general reading” – this does not mean “generic,” rather it is more along the lines of “let’s see what comes up today!”<br/>5.   One reading, per customer, per day…no exceptions…So, if you have something specific you want to know about, please ask!<br/>6.   In spite of rule #5, you are welcome to stay and chat with Madame Zoya after your reading. You are, of course, the reason Madame Zoya is here. So, whether you want to ask about your reading, or whether you wish to talk about the weather, Madame is happy to entertain you. However, please be aware that others may be waiting. It would be unfair to monopolize Madame’s time.<br/>7.   Regarding "payment" for Madame's services - Madame works on a "tips only" basis, so whatever you feel the reading was worth, Madame shall graciously accept.<br/>8.   Madame Zoya’s is a place out of time…meaning, you do not need to stick to a particular time period or setting. If you wish for it to be Renaissance Italy, by all means. If you prefer that it’s set in Topeka, Kansas circa 2010, that’s fine as well.<br/>9.   Madame reserves the right to refuse a reading should any of the aforementioned rules be ignored. Madame will ask you politely to leave, at that point. You would be wise to do so. <br/>10.   Remember, this is a game! It is “for entertainment purposes only” ;) as the disclaimer goes…</span></em><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: monotype corsiva;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Lastly</strong>: Madame only takes customers when she is “IN” – her status will be listed in the post’s subject line &amp; Madame will post a notice in the thread as well. Madame will most likely lock the "doors" while she is “OUT.”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: monotype corsiva;">If anything else comes up, it will surely be added to the list. Thank you for visiting! Madame hopes you enjoy your stay.</span></span><br/>
