Arcana-talk time [A day or two into the new liminal]

[professorwolf]

We're still assuming that the liminal space before a Jaunt represents the Arcana competing in it, yes? I know someone's mentioned this earlier, but it definitely needs to be highlighted-- I think it's pretty obvious this time that the contest will be between Chariot and Tower. The giant wooden horse running through a thunderstorm really couldn't be more blatant. For once.

[He's not great at understanding symbolism, but damn if this wasn't an easy one.]

So if that's right, it'll be a contest of motion and persistence, versus dramatic change and catastrophe. I think it's easy enough to decide who we want to support, in this case. We'll just have to find ways to make sure we see what sort of conditions make for a win for each ideal.

Any ideas for what to look for and how to keep things from devolving into a catastrophe? Those seem to happen a lot when we're around, unfortunately.

I never said to do nothing. But we're clearly time travellers now. It's okay to make ripples. The universe can accommodate ripples. Tidal-waves on the other hand...

[And now they're back to the same argument before. Obviously the Doctor was not listening.]

Sir. This is not the universe you are used to. Tidal waves are the point. That is why we are sent places: to change their courses, preferably for the better. This universe can accommodate what we do. We've seen proof of it, in that we have visited the same Jaunt locations multiple times, and while things were changed, sometimes drastically, the universe remains intact.

[The Doctor is listening. Proof has yet to be provided.]

I see. And who decides just how intact the universe is, hmm? How do you know things that you are doing here aren't having a lasting impact in any one of the universes we all come from originally?
