[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.

You obviously ain't me.

[And he doesn't appreciate the lecture, thanks.]

[awitchdidit]

And you obviously ain't much for philosophy. That's fine, though.

Back on topic, the next time we run into any otherworldly beings we should probably do some research. I did a fair bit with the Spirits in Newport, who seemed to be similar but operating at much lesser power. I wish I had had the opportunity to talk to a Bando dragon as myself. It may have been another link.

[Not with people he doesn't know well, nope.]

Yeah, that's a good idea. I think I might need to start workin' towards that whole... being yourself while infiltrating thing a few of us have going on. I get infiltrated too fucking much to learn much of anything.

[awitchdidit]

That's something I likely lack the mental discipline for, I must admit. It does seem like one of the most useful possible psychic skills here, though.

[itsananimalthing]

How often to you get infiltrated, anyway? Might be you don't need it so much, anyway, if they don't bury you in somebody else as often.

[awitchdidit]

I'd say more often than not, but it's pretty close. It would have prevented a few problems, but honestly even my less friendly Infiltrations tend to move matters forward, at least.

Well, Elfatrice was moderately useless, but the Investigators short-circuited the crisis there almost immediately anyway.

[itsananimalthing]

Elfatrice. The way you people make up names for infiltrations, shit.

[He sounds amused, at least, rather than annoyed.]

[awitchdidit]

Do you know how many other Beatrices I've known even before I started possessing them? I have to give everyone a nickname just to keep them straight.

[itsananimalthing]

I just go with what Jaunt it was. Pretty sure by now the name ain't actually ours, when we're in the world, we're just hearin' it as if it is.

[awitchdidit]

Hm. If that's the case, someone went far too deep in designing whatever's translating for us to preserve wordplay and meaning. That Beatrice even made puns off the Latin meaning of my name.

[itsananimalthing]

Who knows if the places we go even have Latin? Could be it got translated from a whole other language that we just remember as Latin.
