[That’s fine, Molly’s perfectly comfortable with that. His tail thwaps the floor a bit in the awkward moment before he decides what he wants to talk about.]
You want to at least look at stars? I could try and read your fortune from them. I’m better at the cards, but this is fun too sometimes.
The information blurbs, or whatever they're calling them?
[ but he'll sit down. if he were back home, he'd just say this is bullshit because he does not believe in it, but since powers or whatever apparently FUCKING EXIST ELSEWHERE
maybe it's less bullshit for someone else. who knows. ]
Anyway, Molly sits up! Looking at the sky, studious and quiet, hands in his lap and tail idly swishing while he considers. Then he does the same to Sasazuka, leaning in close, examining his face in silence for a moment - it’s probably a little freaky? Molly has those even red eyes, and he’s only smiling slightly now, while he thinks it over.
After a moment he finally speaks.]
Alright. Do you have a specific question for the stars?
Whatever you like! But normally guidance, a glimpse into the future, love advice, that sort of thing. You can even do yes or no questions. Such as, should I trust so and so? Or my boyfriend cheating on me.
A friend of yours is here as well? I know a few people here know someone. It's strange how that happens. Is he looking for the same thing as you?
[Molly turns, looking very invested in this answer, actually. And his expression turns into a little bit of a frown at the "a lot of people will die" thing.]
[Oh-- He turns back to look at the ceiling again, then reaches up, pointing out a set of stars in turn.]
The Spider Queen's web. [A spattering, close together] A complicated problem. You'll not have an easy time of it. There's pitfalls - schemes you haven't seen yet, those who move in the shadows, forces already in motion.
But the Arrow - [Another constellation, a line of stars stretching in a row] shot true, can fly through the most difficult of sticky paths.
So I think the answer to your question is . . . yes. You can succeed. Not without challenges. There's still chances to fail, of course. The stars are nothing if not fickle. But I think your shot is true.

Fine. Will I finish my current task for my job before the deadline?

[god,]
Do you think your deadline - well, they told us not to worry about the way time passes outside of here, yeah?
no subject
They did. So if that's true, I'd have about two weeks.
no subject
would not believe the number of inane knickknacks molly has somehow acquired already]
Something to look forward to, then.
[. . .]
Is that your reason for coming here? That job? I suppose I shouldn't pry. I promise it isn't actually my business, so you don't have to answer.
no subject
[ or that it'll come out eventually if he hasn't yet. ]
It is. A lot of people will die if we don't succeed.

Ah. I knew it was important.

But, yes. I'd like to figure things out sooner than later.

[please, your friend lore,]
I know Beau. She's also my-- coworker, if you will.
no subject
I haven't spoken to her yet. [ ... ] Mineo.

Ah, spicy pudding! We've met. Well if he's your friend [coworker] then I'm sure you're equally as charming.
no subject
[ PLEASE stop calling them friends. ]
We're also nothing alike.

[ does he believe any of this? no.
but in theory he can see why people would go to these things. ]
Can you do a reading for yourself?
no subject
[He laughs a bit. He doesn't seem offended by any skepticism in the statement either.]
Sure, I can. Why?
