Take 1

>You open the south door.
The fortune teller's booth is decorated with bits of velvet and silk, all hung about to give a very drapey feel to the whole place. It smells kind of musty more than anything else, although the fortune teller has tried to combat this with incense. There is a small rickety table in the middle of the booth, with two chairs beside it.
There is one obvious exit: north.
You close the north door.
> Veebeel ducks out from behind the silk and velvet, probably returning from a cigarette break.
> You say in Morporkian: fortune
> The crystal lights up as the glow worms inside fight.
You ask about having your fortune told.
Veebeel exclaims in Morporkian: Yoo don't even have enoogh money! Get oot of my booth, scum!
Veebeel kicks you in the backside and you go sailing out the door!
Veebeel kicks you out of the room in anger.

Take 2

You say in Morporkian: fortune
> You ask about having your fortune told.
Veebeel exclaims in Morporkian: As yoo wish, Woodpigeon, sit down, sit down!
You pay Veebeel 6 dollars to hear your fortune.
You sit in the chair.
> Veebeel blinks and appears to think hard for a second.
Veebeel says in Morporkian: Ahh.. yes.. Of coorse, it's so obvioos.. explains everything.. Yoo were born under Andion the Softener. It explains much aboot yoo, Woodpigeon.
Veebeel looks about absently.
Veebeel raps on the crystal ball.
Veebeel says in Morporkian: Ok, bigger.. whass yer name? Woodpigeon isn't it? Well, anyway...
Veebeel looks vague again.
Your eyes water from the smoke of the incense.
Veebeel exclaims in Morporkian: Looking in my crystal ball.. oooh, it does need a clean then doesn't it? Well, anyway I reckon yoo will be losing a winning battle and losing yoor entire inventory to a wee bug. Well, I'm glad I'm not in yoor place, bigger. I did my fortune today, and it said I was in for a good time. Good luck to yoo, but if yoo don't mind, coold yoo get oot of the chair? There are more biggers to rip off yet!
