About a day after the return from the Jaunt

[amadine]

This is certainly the clearest message we've had from our delightful hosts in quite some time. Maybe they actually intend to make us aware of which of them is winning after all, instead of leaving us to guess and grope after everything.

Tell me, I'm curious: was it the intent of our Investigators that the Hermit should win, or was it just left to chance?

We weren't trying to tip it toward one particular Arcana. We just wanted to do something about the disease and the Deepsinger.

... oh god. Why didn't... I mean, we were stupid busy with all that crap like the vaccines and the Deepsinger, but.

Oh my fucking god why didn't I start this discussion when we still had time to... Fuck.

Honestly, I think the deck was stacked against Amina in the first place. I was not Investigating, but looking back, all of the main human groups, at least, were predisposed to either wanting to leave or wanting to stay. I am uncertain about the sea groups, as my overlay rather did not like them in the first place.

I do not believe I saw that many Investigators.

Lovers... Lost?

She was one of two chances to bring his father home, from what they were told. And now there is only one that has promised it left: Justice.]

I'm not sure how many people knew it was Hermit. Lovers was the one we knew about.

Like Minako said, most of us didn't know for sure who was running the show. We never really had a chance to sit down and noodle it out, and I think everyone who knows enough to start the conversation was either infiltrating or sidetracked.

[teamsad]

Yeah, we kind of tripped into that. Which... doesn't seem like the worst thing that could have happened?

Have we discussed at all which of the Arcana we should be pulling for? Or trying to remove from the competition as soon as possible? I assume most of us are more or less sympathetic to the ones who marked us, but that doesn't necessarily mean a world made in their image is an ideal outcome...

I, at least, was not aware of any attempt to tip it one way or the other.
