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.

Do you have any more details than that? Does Tower mean to end all of this in an apocalypse?

[chalicejoker]

I don't know if that's exactly what he's got planned...

...but he wouldn't be adverse to the idea.

[papacerberus]

I understand. I'm assuming Tower Marked you? Regardless, if you get a chance to have another discussion, probing into Tower's goals would help us all.

[chalicejoker]

Yeah, he's the one who got me.

[He is not at all happy about that.]

...and he's a lousy conversationalist.

[He probably can't judge but he's doing it anyway.]

[papacerberus]

That doesn't mean we shouldn't try. Knowledge is the most varied and useful tool we could hope for.

[chalicejoker]

I can try, but...that guy...

[He still wants to punch Tower even if he knows it's a bad idea, okay.]

[papacerberus]

I understand.

[It’s hard to think of the Arcana as not enemies sometimes, but Lupa knows they can’t treat them like enemies if they expect to win this for all the worlds that will be changed once the game is over.]
