John: Hold on...I'll be right there!
[opens the door to see four well-dressed ladies]
John: Can I...help you ladies with something?
Queen of Wands: I told you I'd be back, John!
John: I see that, dear lady. And I see you brought friends.
Queen of Wands: You're procrastinating again!
Queen of Swords: Technically, dear, he has been procrastinating for some time.
Wands: Ah, yes...of course, you're right! So what's your excuse?
Queen of Cups: No need to be rude, is there? [making her way forward to face the Queen of Wands] Why don't we start with 'Good afternoon!' and then go from there? [smiles]
Queen of Pentacles: And we're taking time away from him when he could be working on his next book.
Wands: Ladies, the next book is MINE! He said so!
Swords: He has the right to change his mind.
John: I'm sort of re-doing my office today, ladies.
Jen: [from upstairs] John? What got delivered? I need some help.
John: [raising voice] No delivery, honey. Be up soon! [addressing Queens] See what I mean?
Pentacles: We understand that your time is valuable. Any chance we can come see you soon?
John: Ummm yeah I guess.
Swords: People want to know how to use us, and that nice lady in the Tarot Nerds group suggested this topic. So we need to chat and soon.
John: Fine. We'll talk this week. Happy?
Wands: [points at John] If you blow us off, we're coming back!
Cups: [to Queen of Wands] So angry! [to John] Thanks for your time. We hope to see you soon.
[John nods and closes the door]
Pentacles: Well that was a waste of time. Where's the closest restaurant?
Swords: I'm "hailing" our Uber. It's five minutes out.
Cups: First round is on me, ladies!
Wands: He'd better not mess with us! And three visits and he hasn't invited me in once!
