Founded and ran by Ursula Payne, Madame Ursula's has been in business for nearly forty years.

As of 2055, the shop is managed by her granddaughter, Moira Payne, who carries on the Madame Ursula mantle. To muggle Winchester, the rumor is that Madame Ursula has enchanted herself with eternal youth.

This hole in the wall establishment offers a variety of items and services for magical and muggle alike, but the specialty is fortunes. Reviews are mixedโ€”while many swear by Ursula's wisdom, there are plenty that feel they've been conned. This is intentional: The occasional blunder maintains the statute of secrecy, while providing endless entertainment for the resident seer.
That said, wizarding customers are more likely to get an authentic reading... Unless one happens to catch Madame in mischievous spirits.

Please ding the bell on the counter for service. Madame has charmed the bell to chime thrice for magical guests so she may keep track of her clients.

The front of the shop houses wares for divination and other such rituals. Spell books, incense, tarot decks, lucky charms, elixirs, and more.

The stairs, which lead to the residential flat, are accessed from the kitchen behind the main counter.
Also located in the kitchen is Floo access through the furnace.

The back room of the shop, through a curtain of beads, is where Madame performs her readings.
Readings may be performed via Crystal, Tarot, Palm, or Tea.
Ask any question and behold your destiny.

Have your fortune told in RP.

Ask Madame Ursula your question, and roll two D20 dice in the post.
First D20 determines your luck.

1-7: Bad Luck
8-12: Neutral Luck
13-20: Good Luck

Second D20 determines authenticity. This is whether or not Madame is duping you. Range varies for wizards and muggles.

For Muggles:

1-10: Fake
11-20: Legitimate

For Wizards:

1-5: Fake
6-20: Legitimate

Mischievous Seer: If, in the span of a scene prior to a reading, a magical client has gained ill favor of Madame Ursula (usually done by doubting or insulting her), the odds of a trick may increase to the ratio for muggles listed above (50%). There will be a noticeable indication if this has happened in Madame's response for the player.

About Plot/Development Fortunes:

Do you have a specific type of fortune (fake or legitimate) you'd like for your character to receive for purposes of character development or related to a plot request? Please message Trickblues via PM or Discord. A dice roll will not be necessary in this instance.

Note: If the fortune in mind requires a plot request, it must of course be approved in the plot requests thread prior to starting the reading.

โ€œDang you shoulda told me. Iโ€™d have loved to see Yarrickโ€™s fancy boarding school.โ€

Yak mumbled something noncommittal in response. Unfortunately, that would never happen. The magical work sucked. He couldnโ€™t even tell his friend honestly that he was never going to be able to see Yarrickโ€™s school because it was ~magical~ and plebs like the two of them werenโ€™t welcome except on special occasions where they rubbed all the magic in their faces.

Trey shifted his backpack to punch Yakโ€™s arm lightly. โ€œWell once sheโ€™s back we should jam.โ€

Yak nodded, the smile returning to his face. โ€œFor sure. I told her we were practicing so sheโ€™ll be looking forward to it. Speaking of, wanna come over tomorrow? Iโ€™ve got an audience of siblings to perform for.โ€

Plans made, Yak big his muggle friend goodbye and continued on homeward. Wellโ€ฆnot quite. He knew his mom wasnโ€™t working today, which meant he wasnโ€™t needed at home right away. He could take the long way home.

The long way homeโ€“which really was just turning onto his street a bit later, happened to pass by a peculiar witchy shop. Yak hadnโ€™t given much thought to such shops beforeโ€“ it was all fake compared to real magic after all, right? But the last time he had seen Uncle Cenek, heโ€™d heard the adults talking about this shop. A bit more poking around and apparently there was a real-life-actual-magic seer running it. Which meant this fortune- telling shop used real-life-actual-magic divination.

Maybe they could help him unlock magic! Or at least tell him if it was hopeless.

A serious expression fell back over Yakโ€™s face as he pushed open the door. The front of the place looked more like a shop than a fortune telling booth, with packs of incense and charms. There was a shelf with potions he swore looked familiar, and a few books that Yak couldnโ€™t really tell if they were legit or not. They didnโ€™t look like any of Yarrick or Zackโ€™s textbooks, but that might not mean anything? Neither of them were taking divination as far as he knew.

Yak finished his loop around and made his way back to the main counter where a bell sat. Alright. If Madame Ursula turned out to be a creepy pot-smoking hippie lady, he could just leave. He hit the bell. โ€Err, hullo? Iโ€™m looking for Madame Ursula.โ€

So far away, I wish you were here
Before it's too late, this could all disappear
Before the doors close and it comes to an end
With you by my side, I will fight and defend
I'll fight and defend, yeah, yeah
