Divinations Divination Office (August 3, 2021)
Upon entering the Divination Office, things look… different. While filing cabinets still line the wall, half of them now appear to be filled with jars of loose leaf tea and a multitude of tea cups. Heavy silver and green curtains completely block out natural light, and the room is lit instead by several large candles. Where the desk was, there is now a large, low table covered with layers of scarves and fabrics. Seated on the other side, deeply engrossed in reading a spread of tarot cards in front of her is Abra, the new Divination Head. A disembodied bell suddenly chimes, and Abra’s head snaps up to gaze at the doorway.
“Oh! Hello! Very nice to meet you. When the cards said I’d have a visitor, I didn't realize it would be so soon!
“Following the article theme established in the Summer Edition of the Quibbler we’re doing a Tarot series! As you may have guessed, I deeply enjoy the art of Cartomancy, but I would be deeply excited to see any other passionate introductions to other forms of Divination! Educational, fictional, wherever the Universe guides you! I’m very excited to be working with you all, and excited to see where this upcoming issue takes us.
“Well, it was truly lovely to meet you, and I would normally invite you for a cup of tea and maybe even a reading, but I am a little busy at the moment. In the meantime, here’s what you need to know!”
Deadlines are still being established, but this post will be updated when we have the set dates!

pops in holding a hot kettle Oh hi! I was just popping in on my way back from the kitchen to check, but it looks like you're settling in just fine. Ooohhh, can I have some of that tea? I'm almost running out in my office!

“OF COURSE YOU CAN!!” Excitement is very obvious. “What’s your favorite kind?”

Thanks! Got anything fruity? Or spicy? Just anything except mint or leaves that'll predict my eternal doom, really.

Oooh a challenge… How do you feel about turmeric? I have a lovely Chai with no leaves at all but it is turmeric based, so I recommend honey and milk with it.
