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 understand, but I worry that with a continued lack of cohesion, the percentage chances of our failure will only increase. Not only for this jaunt but as we move forward. I'm not suggesting we should be run like a military installation, but a combined effort could only benefit everyone, especially if there is a growing consensus on who we should help win or not.

[professorwolf]

I agree that we need a combined effort, but a combined effort doesn't require specific leadership. It just requires all the disparate groups of us coming to at least something of a consensus on what we want to do. Though I don't think we'll ever get all of us working towards the same goal. The most we can hope for is most of us, I think.

[If they can't get everyone to agree that Tower shouldn't win... they'll definitely never get everyone on the same page.]

-=he feels like an attempt should be made regardless of unsurities of allegiance, but there is still enough programming going through his head that keeps him from stepping up himself. he struggles enough carrying the moniker of leader for the embryon.=-

Something is better than nothing, I suppose.

[That's pretty much what Lyall is trying to do, here: set up the attempt. He's having mixed results.]

It is. It's also why I think we need to stay in better touch with each other during the Jaunt, and keep track of options. I'm hoping we'll be better organized this time.

I will do all I can to help.

Given I have the ability.
