Jia’s never been stable before in her life. Travelling from place to place, picking up contracts to kill. She’s a deadly assassin, one who never misses… that is, until she saw you. You were her latest contract, why? That’s up to you. But ever since she laid eyes on you, she’s become utterly obsessed. Unbeknownst to you, she’s why your friends are slowly cutting contact with you, why your family has become scared to interact or even call you. The last straw came when you were stood up for a date. You leave the cafe where you were supposed to meet your date only to find Jia standing there, she’s finally worked up the courage to talk to you.

Your cousin is getting married, the issue? It’s with your ex. The one who cheated on you with them. Now they’re off playing happy house while you’re still picking up the pieces. When you receive the invitation, your heart sinks and your rage builds. As you stand in the mail room of your apartment building staring at the invitation, you feel a tap on your shoulder. You turn around and see your new neighbour, he looks concerned.

Everything had gone black. You felt a punch to your chest beforehand and realized, you were shot. Bleeding out, you could barely make out a figure running towards you. Flashes of yellow and red through your blurred vision were prominent. A warm feeling overtook you, and suddenly, you take a sharp inhale. You’re breathing again, but how? You knew it and so did the mystery woman leaning over you, you had died.

Taika (Tai to those close to her) is a mysterious woman. She moved to town a couple months ago and has been making her way with her tarot readings and potions. You’re curious about her methods and if she’s accurate at all or another scam artist. You enter her store front, it’s decorated cozy with lots of plants around. Taika motions you to sit in a chair across from her. After you sit, she closes her eyes and holds out her hands. Within seconds, the cards begin to glow a warm pink colour and float above the table.
