[Molly's sitting at a table, covered with purple-red cloth, with a stack of cards in front of him and his swords resting against the edge of the table. Writing is complicated, and this 'recording' thing is so handy.

Anyway-

He claps his hands and gives a little theatrical bow, long hair falling on his shoulders, and little trinkets on his horns giving a little jingle-]


Mollymauk Tealeaf, at your service. It couldn't pass me by that the atmosphere, aside from the gatherings to eat and be merry, is a bit down. So I'm here to cheer you up!

It's simple- a story for a story!

You give me the most interesting or outrageous fact about yourself, and in return, get a free reading of your luck for tomorrow!

Sounds like a fair trade to me, hmm?

I prefer doing this in person, but this will have to do- I learned it can reach a lot of people a lot faster~

[ Molly says that you can't get something out of nothing, and yet the Book is literally just that - an object that writes into reality anything written in it's pages. Sigma's seen the effects of it himself, in the form of the Sky Casino and the framing of the Armed Detective Agency, so he knows it exists.

...But what was written on Sigma's page? Is it possible that he existed in some form, before being made? He isn't sure if he agrees with Molly on that, but it's not like he has any way to know...

He wonders if Molly would tell him to seek out the Book, if he asked him. That thought makes him feel a little bit ill.

Still, ever-professional, Sigma collects himself, and with a voice that he hopes no longer betrays his emotion, he says- ]


Thank you. That's... a very interesting perspective. I think it was good for me to hear it.

[ Of course, in spite of Sigma's doubts, Molly may very well be right! Either way, it's certainly got Sigma thinking. ]

I'll hold you to that! [ Somewhat more confident now, Sigma smiles - and he's a little happy to hear that Molly would like to meet up with him in the future. He can't help but be curious about what tales the tiefling has to share. ]

I'll look forward to seeing you. Well, thank you again.
