Trump-Talk

[someonetocarry]

So somebody wanna tell me where the Trumps were hidin' this Jaunt? My other self in there was kinda on the sidelines of whatever action went down, given the whole havin'-a-baby thing, and I don't remember talkin' to anythin' that might fit a Trump in disguise.

[Little does she know... still, it's a place to start the conversation for various interested parties, right? Including herself. Because she's not actually even sure which Trump marked her.]

You have confirmation that there were four? [Three, he'd figured. The fourth is news to him.]

[runawaystory]

That's what they told me. Two competing, two watching.

[solvethepuzzle]

The two posing as dragons -- one of which was Tower -- and then the Empress made an appearance. That still leaves the last of them.

[fridgeninja]

I spoke to one, I think. Since it's not likely to have been Star or Temperance, I'd say it was probably either Strength or Judgment. I'd say those two are more likely anyway, but I wouldn't want to rule Star or Temperance out entirely.

[solvethepuzzle]

[Star and Temperance being dead does rather decrease the likelihood that they were the ones talking. The latter two are indeed far better candidates. But the supposition is interesting.] So you think there might be a possibility, however small, that deceased Trumps could have communicated in this instance?

[fridgeninja]

I don't think we understand enough yet to be sure what's possible and what isn't, and I don't like to leave any perspectives out. We'd overlook too much that way.

Still, looking at what other people said... Judgment seems like the best fit.

[solvethepuzzle]

This is fair. [He'd like to outright eliminate some possibilities, but he agrees; they know too little yet.]

Though I agree that Judgement seems the most likely.

[fridgeninja]

Just four left then, I think.

[runawaystory]

Can't help you there. One of them did tell me something else that might be useful. Apparently there's only seventeen of them around, total. So if you have any idea who's already out of the game... Maybe you can narrow down the field of who our unknown watcher might've been.

[solvethepuzzle]

Seventeen. [Noted.] Four are noted to be dead, so if we exclude those, there's still another missing from a full set.

[From other conversation, he's become fairly satisfied that the other watcher was Fool. As to the one that's missing, he can't be entirely sure.]

[runawaystory]

Maybe that's our missing watcher. It would explain why nobody recognized anyone who might be lucky number 2.
