Grazzja's Bone Scrying

*Entering into a connected section of Vitya's Liminal Curiosities; you're greeted immediately to a more morbid sight within the dimly lit room. Skulls and mummified animals of varying sorts array the shelves and walls, with such curios such as curled paws and shrunken heads on display, it has a peculiar smell to it, spices are present certainly but you're not sure of what kind.

To the left of the entrance is a small tea-shop with a stove and pot, with small floor cushions and tables for one to sit at; to the right of the entrance is a flat area presumably for meditation-- Though it also has a couch and a chair.

Sitting behind the counter would be a tall vakhan wearing a tunic and uniform pants, a black papakha resting on the top of the counter. She'd glance up at you, and offer a fanged grin, her eyes looking on wide in your direction. Despite her predatory looks, she spoke in a calm heavily accented voice.

"Good fortune to you brother," she'd say, "what brings you to my establishment today? Perhaps some scrying, to peer into your future? Or... Maybe some tea."*
**Grazzja's Bone Scrying** is a scrying and wellness section of Vitya's Liminal Curiosities, operated by Grazzja Seralta and her friend, Pietru Ortina.

### Bone Scrying

*"Let the flames of Rhya unlock the vessels of fate, and let her truth come through!"*
For a fee of 𝔛400,000, Grazzja will perform an ancient Shabhyati rite known as Bone Scrying, where a bundle of twenty bones are cast into a fire. Based on which bones explode, and how the remaining ones crack, it is theorized by Shabhyati theologians that one can see Rhya's energy escape-- If one is tuned for it, of course.

This will be performed in #grazzjas-bone-scrying, and the participant will roll a 20d3 to determine what their fate is.

### Meditation

*"Close your eyes, arms crossed, head back..." Pietru would say, matching her stated movements.

"Now take a breath, and compress your focus; your thoughts. With each breath compress, shrink back, until... It is just a point." She would continue with, her breaths deliberate and focused.

"Then, shroud that point in the black of nothingness."*
Characters can practice meditation and gain a higher degree of control over themselves here, which is done through RPs in #grazzjas-meditation. Meditation sessions cost 𝔛200,000.

This activity trains the following:

* **WILL**

To gain a level in a proficiency, two things can be done. Either a critical success or a critical fail is earned, or the character rolls higher than the total amount of pips that they have.

### Therapy Sessions

*Past the front counter in the establishment, there's two doors; if you were to take the door on the far right, it would lead into a small room. Brightly lit via hanging oil lanterns, the room would have a wooden floor, with a couch up against the wall and a chair positioned right in-front of it. A miniature rock waterfall would be in a corner, surrounded by foliage, meanwhile various pictures would be hung around. Sunsets and horizons, flocks of birds, and meditating Vakhan Free Cavalry.

Following in and closing the door behind her, Pietra would motion you to sit down on the couch, and she herself would take a seat on the chair. Crossing her legs, she'd set a PDA on her lap and tap at it with a stylus pen, before looking up at you.

"So, how have you been feeling lately?"*
A therapy clinic is available for characters should they desire, sessions being RP'd in private dedicated DMs, though this is after the character in question requests it in #grazzjas-bone-scrying. The fee for every session is 𝔛50,000, and characters can come in multiple times during a month.

### Tea Shop

A small tea-shop is also available, with various floor cushions and tables for seating.
