Holiday Reminder

[senpaidol]

Hey guys! I started trying to figure out the date again and realized something important. Since we had that month of Liminal weirdness that changed the Jaunt schedule, it shooould be about the middle of February. As much as that means anything here. You know what that means!

...well if you're from modern Earth, you know what that means. If you're not, it's Valentine's Day! It's a holiday for spending time with someone you love and sharing candy with them. Also with friends and family but maybe that's just a Japan thing. Either way, we can do it here.

Anyone who wants to try and make some chocolate, come meet me in the Workshop kitchen. Or...if no one's interested, can I at least get someone who can make ingredients? I need to make a lot of chocolate this year...

Anyway, go out and celebrate with people you love! If you don't have someone you love, celebrate with your friends! If you don't have any friends, I'll be your friend! Let's give PSYCHE-chan one more celebration before we start the next round, okay?

((Did a physical mingle here as well!))

Oh. Uh. Sorry! I forgot that some people were really mad at the Arcana. I totally understand, though! Although other than hit on my boyfriend I don't know what Lovers did specifically...

[truerevelation]

...Uh. Rise. I ... don't wanna be a downer again, but.

Do you really not know what she's actually done?

[private]

[senpaidol]

I...might have slacked off on reviewing the network entries from before I got here.

Oh, wait, this is the guy who got married by Lovers in January. Did his wife leave? I think she did. Crap.

...what were you thinking of, though?

[so goddamn private]

[truerevelation]

Yeah. I'm pretty sure that's the guy. And she did.

No-one told you about the Automata, huh. She buddied up with Devil and filled the Grid with crazy virus people and all sorts of crap... The place was totally screwed up 'cause of what she deliberately did. This ain't like just dumping Travellers in and having us set shit on fire.
And ... well. Goin' by what Cairbre told me, she basically goes around watchin' everyone's kissin' and - uh, private lives for kicks. Yeah, that's how archetypes roll, but ... I dunno.

[so goddamn private]

[senpaidol]

Yeesh. What the hell do crazy virus people have to do with love or bonds? That's horrible! I wonder if anyone asked her to explain that.

...but I kinda figured the second part. I've been uh...showing off a little more since Souji told me she propositioned him, see how she likes it. There's some point where people are god-like enough you just have to roll with them being weirdos, though.

[truerevelation]

Short version is, Hermit decided 'screw the game' and did a runner to the Grid, just wanted to hang out there with friends. The virus shit was revenge or something like that which would keep him trapped but also screwed over everyone in that system. He wasn't innocent, sure, but the level she took this stuff to... ugh. The place was a mess after it.

As for what the hell it has to do with love or bonds... beats me.

[Slight mental sigh.]

And eh. Maybe. But ... I don't think that actually doin' shit in her archetype is gonna piss her off any if that's what you're goin' for.

[senpaidol]

Well, it...isn't something either of us want to talk about with each other.

[Ahem.]

Well, I can still stand by the ideas on the card even if the person embodying it is evil. Or. Something. I don't know, I've helped people beat up Death, Time, and whatever Kagutsuchi's actually god of. Doesn't mean I hate those things.

Ugh, though. Ugh.

[truerevelation]

[...huh.]

But yeah, I'm with you on that. Good archetype, sure. Asshole person unless you're playin' her game.

...sorry.

[senpaidol]

I do need to know these things. I figured, "ha ha that's cute a god with my own obnoxiousness turned up to 11", but. The Grid stuff is different. I'm surprised Naoto never mentioned it, but you know her and volunteering information.

[truerevelation]

Most of Naoto's, SHIRO's, focus was on the whole revolution once that got going. But it just kinda shows that this stuff gets ... lost along the way.

From what Elphaba-san said after the jaunt, that marriage was a lot more binding than either of them intended, considering they did it to maintain a cover story. Between that and the Automata thing, she's done plenty.

[senpaidol]

That sounds like someone confusing reality for a romantic comedy. Like it's still wrong, but it's on a different scale.

[leftbehindagain]

Maybe so, but I can't imagine the people getting married were terribly happy about it.

[senpaidol]

Yeah. I should've kept my mouth shut. I just didn't think someone with such a positive archetype would be such a jerk about it.

[leftbehindagain]

The archetype might be positive, but that doesn't mean the being representing it is great company. But it's not like you could have known that.

Besides, you not speak up about Valentine's Day? I can't see it.

[senpaidol]

Hehe, yeah. But I could have left out the graceful shout-out-to-runner-up there.

[leftbehindagain]

Yeah, I won't say you couldn't have handled it more gracefully.

[senpaidol]

Well, time to put on my professional idol face and apologize. I always figured I'd have to do that because I got caught with a drummer or something, not this...

[hiding_honor_in_darkness]

She is a liar. We mean nothing more to her than toys, nor does she care if we become lost or break! We are only here to be manipulated for her own amusement.
