I would run a fortune teller (a real one) as a local, psychotic, bag
lady that occasionally shouts words of doom or wisdom at the PCs as
they pass by, or maybe they're woken at 3:00 am by a knocking on the
door and open it to find her screaming, "Don't fall in the water!"
after which she walks off muttering about how poor Mickey and Minny
will never get back together again.
Another way would be a la Domino from Ian Fleming's "Live and Let
Live", a beautiful woman who is in the clutches of a local King Pin,
but lays out the cards for the characters from time to time because
she likes them.
Or the local fortune teller in her Kiosk whom the PCs know that has a
real premonition during one of her readings and, after realizing it,
tries to get the PCs to pay significantly more than the standard 10
nuyen.
Just some ideas that I thought I would share :)
