Bump.
Still working on Cups (and, after that, Staves). Added a Knight; left Nine blank for now. Text in italics is placeholder and guide for nonexistent entries.
(And I still want to add the Hacker Underspace as a group somewhere, but I still don't know where... although they might be better in Staves, come to think of it.)
Ace: A crystal chalice filled with handwavium.
Two: The Lovers (Ben and Gina), toasting the opening of their base on 36 Atalantae.
Three: The virtual avatars of Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour standing in front of an unidentified Space Shuttle's main engine block.
Four: __________ A young man sits under a tree. One thinks of Buddha under the bodhi tree, sitting crosslegged, but this youth is not serene. He seems dissatisfied with the three cups before him. A hand from a cloud offers him a fourth cup, but the youth shows no interest. It indicates a period of ennui and boredom, where nothing seems to be satisfying.
Five: The administrator of Island One gazing forlornly at three empty cups, while two people from the Chicken Ranch sip from two other half-full cups behind him.
Six: __________ Two youths play in a garden, surrounded by six cups. This card can indicate happy memories, as well as a certain clinging to the past and how things used to be. It can also indicate an invitation or gift coming from someone in your past.
Seven: Members of the Ministry of Magic, debating which cup to partake of while showing signs of thirst.
Eight: A starship departs the Sol system, with the eight non-"minor" planets, in their orbits, in the background.
Nine: __________ This is known as the "wish" card. A well fed, self satisfied individual sits with nine cups behind. It indicates a table of plenty and getting everything you desire. It is the wish card, meaning your wish will come true.
Ten: __________ A husband and wife join arms looking up at the rainbow over their house. Two young children dance. Ten cups are seen among the rainbow. It is a card of happiness, completion of all plans to your satisfaction, and a card of fulfillment and a sense of wholeness. A happy marriage and family life.
Page: Michelle Delacroix, a cup with an engraved fish design resting on her keyboard. (Unless somebody would prefer a different filker, keeping in mind that Hoshikage Kouyou hasn't debuted yet.)
Knight: Leonard da Quirm, offering a cup to a lady in the shadows.
Queen: __________ A queen on her throne at the seaside holds a cup she looks into. She sees visions within. It indicates a woman who has the gift of intuition and is able to offer good advice. She also may harbour a secret she is willing to share with you.
King: The Jason in his garden.
