[Secondish day of Chuck E Cheese Liminal]

[itsananimalthing]

So hey. Everybody. Tell me what all our asshole patrons had to say about Moebius. I already talked to Malik and Matthew, so I got their stories. Already know that we killed one of 'em, so Moebius was a punishment, presumably for that. Death was behind the whole doing-things-over part, and Devil was behind the whole kill-all-your-friends part.

Also there's the tidbit that Lovers claims they don't make the places they send us to, they just pick 'em. Which is interesting. Unless she was lying, though I'm guessin' she wasn't.

But mostly I wanna hear if any of the rest of you talked about Moebius with your Trump. I got most of my memories of that Jaunt back, but not much of anything from that whole thing we apparently did to earn it, and I'm thinkin' that's gonna be pretty important. I'm hopin' somebody else can give me somethin' to go off of to jump-start workin' on that.

Besides, nobody ever talks about this shit, and we're down to too few people who lived it to let people forget about it.

That particular shitstorm was way before my time, but when I was in for my interview with Sun he did say that they choose the Jaunts together, but not very far in advance?

Which I guess isn't really new info, but it's another collaborating data point. And I don't think Sun's got a lot of interest in misleading us on anything. I mean, I kinda suspect he's the sort to flake out on remembering to tell people something important because he gets distracted by something shiny? But I don't think he was lying on any of the shit he was telling me.

Be glad you missed it. It was fucked up.

Heh. Nice description. Good to know more about their process, though. What else did 'e say?

[hazardlight]

Man, I wish I'd known more of what to ask. I only got here just before they started doing the wholesale marking thing.

Um. He called it a "war of ideas"? This whole thing. The way he put it made it sound like our motivations are at least as important as our results.

If we get another one-on-one with him I'll try and get more answers.

[itsananimalthing]

We'll all have to. I didn't even think about askin' Moon about Moebius, honestly.

[He'd had other things on his mind, at the time. He's kicking himself a little about it, now.]

War, huh? That's the first time any of 'em have compared it to a war that I know of. Usually it's tamer, like a game. War might fit better.

[hazardlight]

Games are only as tame as their stakes are low, bro.

[itsananimalthing]

Ain't talkin' about truth, kid. I'm talkin' about how the Trumps talk about it. Every other time I've heard 'em talk about it, it was "game". This is the first time anybody said "war" that I heard of.

[finalizes]

That's just a way of saying that it is a war between them. They call themselves ideas.
