Twisted Tarot Story

Recently bought a deck of Tarot cards, and decided to have some fun with it.

This is mainly meant to be a writing exercise, to keep me writing, as well as see what direction this story will take.


Rules:
-At the end of each chapter, I will post the open information for you guys to fill in. This will generally involve my Tarot Deck in some fashion, to give me some wiggle room.
-Each responder can only fill one aspect per chapter. If multiple slots are filled, only the first eligible one is taken.
-If slots remain open after 24 hours, I'll fill them myself.


Example:
Three people choose one number, ranging from 1 to 78 (The number of cards in a Tarot Deck).
Poster One: 15, 9, 38 (9 and 38 are ignored.)
Poster two 78 (Read as the last card in the deck)
Poster three: 4 (No problems)

Rules may be changed depending on how well this works out and what problems crop up.

I already have the first spread laid out here:
Page of Pentacles
Knight of Wands
Ace of Cups

So, who wants to kick this off give me a setting and a genre?

I'm not entirely sure how you want this to work (if we're giving you numbers why are we giving you settings now?) but...

Page of Pentacles is "Messages about money", Knight of Wands is "an exciting trip, and likely a long one to an exotic place" and the Ace of Cups is West.

How about classic adventure-quest story as genre. And for setting, a wild west themed fantasy world. The west is wild, exotic and dangerous but also a place a man down on his luck can get rich.

I'm going to try and have a different selection process for each chapter, to keep things interesting. I asked for Genre and setting because this is the start of the story, and I'd like to get those established. I outsourced it because I was curious what people would suggest, and was hoping to get something I haven't written before so I can stretch my skills.

Alright, so the Genre is Action/Questing. Since Glimmervoid can only offer one piece of information per chapter, that means the setting is still open for suggestions.

Edit: Watashiwa was kind enough to give me an initial location, and Indian Trade City. So the current setup is a Western Adventure/Quest story starting in an Indian Trade City. Of course, someone could offer up a new setting to replace the Western Archetype since Glimmervoid's choice technically doesn't count. I'll levae it open until I get my three day weekend and take it from there.
