Mechanical Fortune Teller

The Mechanical Fortune Teller is a sentient fortune-telling automaton created by Madame Tarsa.
==Description==
Part of a mechanical fortune-telling fairground machine created by Madame Tarsa, the Mechanical Fortune Teller is an automaton with the ability to scry the unseen present or into the future. He comes alive when one slides a coin into the machine. Although, during a “performance”, he speaks in pompous verse, with his spiel beginning with “For centuries, now, I’ve slept within/And now I’m awake, so let us begin”, the Fortune Teller is quite capable of speaking more casually, for example when conversing with his creator (who sometimes has need of his services).
== Behind the scenes ==
The Mechanical Fortune Teller appears in the 2019 short story The Toymaker's Labyrinth.
