''This could be any young, male college student, and maybe it is. Gareth has dark brown hair, a supercuts style that's about four months past its due date. His skin seems naturally lightly-tanned and smooth, eyes an unrecognizable slur tht might be blue, might be brown, might be hazel, the combination that might come from a geneticist that is both indecisive and lazy. Add to a mild mouth, decent cheekbones and jaw - the only thing that stands out is an otherwise slight nose that looks like it was broken and reset at some point long in the past.''<br><br>

''        Gareth is possessed of a nervous energy. Today he wears a long-sleeved flannel shirt, a purple tee shirt with some kind of retro-gaming design on it, worn jeans, and Converse all-stars shoes. He might walk with a mild limp - or maybe people just have vivid imaginations. Nah, on second thought, he walks just fine.''

"He is the Ring-winner and Luckwearer; he is the Barrel-rider. Or, maybe just this guy I see around. Hangs out here and at the Frontier. If I gave him real titles, instead of hobbit titles, they'd be The Egg Lover, and The Counter Hugger," [[Maxine]] quirks half a smile in Gareth's direction.

It's 2:30 in the morning, so perhaps Gareth could be excused for being surprised. Joel assesses him, then looks down at himself -- they're both wearing flannel, a tee, and Chucks. "I like your style," Joel nods sagely to the new arrival.<br>

"Mr. Danvers," says [[Quentin]] out of no where, not looking up, not looking Gareth's way. He doesn't even raise his voice, meaning that he has to be heard over the background noise of people, machinery, and pop music. Still, his voice carries. "After you get out of the lady's way, I expect you'll be sure to take a nap before the next time you set foot in my classroom. You can ill afford to attempt an education via osmosis by drooling on the textbook whoever your patron shelled out $173.00 for. In fact, were I a betting man, I would bet that the professor, that being me, will likely ask you a question on the reading material once every 7 minutes or so the next time you decide to grace us with your presence. Now, get out of the lady's way."

| width="250" | '''''6. The Hermit:''' When the Hermit appears in a reading, know that you have a chance to recieve wisdom from the Divine, or from the spirit world. This can also indicate a meeting with a mentor or teacher, or an encounter with someone who can guide and lead you in your upcoming endeavors, whether they are spiritual or material. The Hermit reminds us that our goals can be attained, but the journey is not always smooth or easy.''

''A reversed Hermit card shows someone who is unwilling to listen to the wisdom of their elders, or who refuses to take advice even when it's offered from knowledgable sources. This can also mean a tendency to be immature, despite the inner knowledge that it's time to grow up..''

She is balance and power in a feminine form. In a spread she often represents an unrevealed future with hidden influences at work, and a need to trust in one's intuition.
+

''Reversed, the High Priestess symbolizes open knowledge and obvious facts. You'll be able to make decisions based on facts and logic. Occasionally this card reversed indicates sensual pleasures and self-centeredness, although this is not necessarily a bad thing.''

This card is an indicator of wisdom as yet untapped or undiscovered, and even of prophetic power. The Hanged Man shows us a pause in our life, a moment of suspension in time. Material temptations are conquered on the way to spiritual transformation.
+
−
 
+
−
''When reversed, the Hanged Man shows us someone who is resistent to spiritual influences or refused to accept that sacrifices must be made in order to grow and evolve. There is a sense of self-absorption, and of being too wrapped up in material matters.''

The night often holds your greatest fears and terrors, including nightmares like the one which has woken the woman on the Nine of Swords. This card rules regret, anxiety and all the other things that make you sit in bed at all hours of the night, afraid to close your eyes and go back to sleep. Unlike the pain of the Three of Swords, which is caused by an exterior event, the Nine of Swords is a realm of inner anguish. You can run away from exterior pain, but you cannot hide from that which burns within you.''

''This isn't exactly a happy card to see, because it often shows deeply rooted emotional pain that simply refuses to go away. Usually this is either guilt or regret, and in either case you feel the pain because you wish you could go back and change what happened - but you cannot.''

Quotes
“In the life of a man, his time is but a moment, his being an incessant flux, his sense a dim rushlight, his body a prey of worms, his soul an unquiet eddy, his fortune dark, his fame doubtful. In short, all that is body is as coursing waters, all that is of the soul as dreams and vapors.”
Marcus Aurelius
RP Hooks
  • Gareth dropped out of UNM but can still be found on the campus, leeching off the library there.
  • He hangs out at diners, coffee shops, any place he can feed his glorious and holy addiction to caffeine
  • Do you hate sleep? Or have an active dream life? Gareth does, too! See caffeine, above.

Physical Description

Gareth is a lean, skinny figure, medium height man in his mid-twenties. His hazel-to-brown eyes have a look of studied intensity but are otherwise neither appealing nor unappealing, his tanned skin makes him look of indeterminate ethnicity, his small mouth and nose sit on his face like someone told them they were unwelcome there. He's got a gait like trapped energy is pent up within him, his expressions seem tightly controlled but otherwise calm. He probably didn't have a good sleep the night before.
In the heat he wears a black linen collared short-sleeve shirt and dark pants that look like they fit a size or two larger. He wears sandals on his feet. Sometimes, even when still, his right hand or arm will twitch or tic, a sudden jerking motion that is immediately calmed.

i'll come back from the war
but everything i touch seems to break
and i won't be the same man
i won't be the same man you knew
and i was somewhat tickled by your gauge
of your ticker tape parade
now you know and you know that i know
we could dance all night here on their graves
god bless our black souls
