Orochi: Why, if it isn't Jakob! Your timing is impeccable.

Jakob: What can I help you with, Orochi?

Orochi: Nothing much. Simply bored. But I do wonder... Would you mind if I told your fortune? You know, just for fun?

Jakob: A bit of fortune-telling? I must admit that I'm curious.

Orochi: It will take me only a moment to commune with the future. ...... Ah, done.

Jakob: Well then, let's hear it. Come on, I don't have all day, Orochi.

Orochi: I've found out...that your personality is lacking.

Jakob: My personality—?

Orochi: Is lacking, yes.

Jakob: That's not a fortune. That's just slander and nonsense.

Orochi: Heh. It has the ring of truth to me. With that, I conclude my communion with the higher truths of the future.

Jakob: What would provoke you to pounce upon me like this, Orochi? It's hardly becoming of you.

Orochi: Why, if it isn't Jakob! Your timing is impeccable.

Jakob: I'm not falling for this again, Orochi. No more slanderous fortunes.

Orochi: Oh? You knew just what I've come for. So, you can tell the future too? Ha! I only jest. I know you're blind to such things, Jakob.

Jakob: Yes, my dear. You just keep laughing. You're only making a mockery of yourself. Off with you, scamp!

Orochi: I'm being genuine. I'd like to tell your fortune—to make up for last time.

Jakob: I said OFF with you!

Orochi: Does that seem wise? It's about the future of you and your master, after all.

Jakob: About me and Lord/Lady Avatar?

Orochi: But I'll be off—you've said it twice. No need for thrice.

Jakob: Wait. I said only for you to go, not that I didn't want to know!

Orochi: That sounds paradoxical. Please be clear. Shall I tell your fortune or not?

Jakob: I beg of you, Orochi. Tell me what you've learned. You mustn't go until you do!

Orochi: When then, let's prepare.

Jakob: Didn't you say you'd already seen the future of me and my master?

Orochi: I did. But it was foggy, and I need materials to make it clearer. I'll need some specific herbs for my incantation. Then and only then, can I—

Jakob: Yes, yes. Give me your shopping list.

Orochi: My list, sir. Here you go.

Jakob: I'll go fetch these herbs, Orochi. Immediately, posthaste!

Jakob: I found those fortune-telling herbs for you, Orochi.

Orochi: It must have been a nightmare getting these, Jakob. I happen to know that these herbs grow only on crumbly cliffs.

Jakob: I scuffed a nail, that's all. And perhaps sprained an ankle. But never mind that. You've got your herbs. Please now! Tell me what lies in the future for me and Lord/Lady Avatar.

Orochi: Take a seat, Jakob.

Jakob: Yes, of course.

Orochi: ...... Oh, my! What's this?!

Jakob: Out with it!

Orochi: ......

Jakob: Must I plead? Say it.

Orochi: Do you truly want to hear...this?

Jakob: I didn't scale those treacherous cliffs for nothing, Orochi.

Orochi: Swear to me that, no matter what I may say, you won't get angry?

Jakob: Wh-what? Why?

Orochi: Just swear it, that's all.

Jakob: I won't swear any such thing. Just tell me NOW.

Orochi: Very well. What lies in your future is... That is, what lies in the future for you and Lord/Lady Avatar is...

Jakob: Wait.

Orochi: I'm sorry. The prediction must be said! The future cannot be silenced now!

Jakob: I command you—say nothing! Augh!

(Jakob leaves)

Orochi: Huh? Where'd he go? Heh. And here I hadn't actually seen the future yet. My, my, my—I guess my theatrics scared off the little dear.

Jakob: Caught you.

Orochi: Uh, wait. I can explain.

Jakob: Explain...theatrics? Don't bother. I call an end to these high jinks.

Orochi: S-sorry, Jakob.

Jakob: I've been troubled by something, Orochi. Can you—or can you not—tell fortunes?

Orochi: Of course I can. But I can see why you'd doubt me. I've played a prank or two on you.

Jakob: Indeed you have.

Orochi: Still, please don't doubt my power to see the future. It may prove useful.

Jakob: I hoped you'd say that. I desperately need my fortune told, Orochi.

Orochi: I swear that I'll do right by you this time, Jakob. No pranks. What do you need to know? Name it.

Jakob: I want to know who I will marry.

Orochi: ......

Jakob: Are you...looking into it?

Orochi: Ah. That wasn't my seeing-the-future face. It's my sorry-but-no face.

Jakob: But you promised, Orochi. Must you eternally toy with me?

Orochi: You don't understand.

Jakob: I understand that you keep promising me the future, then denying me satisfaction.

Orochi: Well, if I must—I'll tell you. Who will your wife be?

Jakob: Once and for all, yes!

Orochi: ...... Your wife will be... What?! No, it can't be!

Jakob: Who is it? Pardon my excitement. I meant, of course, whom.

Orochi: It's me.

Jakob: Ah. What a relief.

Orochi: A relief?! Didn't you hear what I said?! It's ME.

Jakob: Please, your exclamations are hurting my ears, Orochi. All is well. That is, all will be well...after you accept this.

Orochi: A ring?!

Jakob: Hello, Wife. Will you please take this from me?

Orochi: ......

Jakob: Is that your seeing-the-future face or your I-accept-happily face?

Orochi: Neither! Both! Neither! I'm sorry. This is just so unbelievable. You want to marry me?

Jakob: Did you—or did you not—say that you could tell the future?

Orochi: I did, but as for whether I will say "I do"... That's my choice. First I need to know why you wish to marry me!

Jakob: Your prankishness is charming. Who can say why I'd swoon for such foolishness? Love is whimsy.

Orochi: Truer words have never been spoken. I feel just the same.

Jakob: About love—or about me? Honestly, I don't think I've heard your answer yet!

Orochi: Well, the cards have spoken. The tea leaves have been read. The horoscopes have been... horoscoped. They all say that I must marry you. But I will not do what my fortunes say—I'll live alone first!

Jakob: Then dash the cards and the tea leaves. What do YOU say? Please. I beg on bent knee. I need you and your pranks—'til the day I die!

Orochi: Aha. There's the proposal I wanted. In that case, I do. Now give me that darn ring.
