Gathering those Plot Bunnies [very end of week two]

[ninjayeehaw]

Alright, so - never thought I'd be sayin' this, but - thanks t'Zed, I think I got a workin' idea 'f what's been happenin' behind the scenes here.

'cos without him, Yakumo wouldn't a' gotten turned back into an Investigator. First thing he done did was find me an' tell me how the Titans're throwin' a coup a' the gods. He ain't got too much info yet - turns out storm spirits ain't got the greatest sense a' focus - but at least one a' them's a Traveller, that English wizard guy.

[you know, the other one]

An' Galen, Tachibana's overlay, said that when he went t'go talk t'em earlier--

[And a memory of Galen's voice, sullenly furious, speaks.]

"Something has bewitched the gods and dulled them to blindness. For the barest fleeting moment there was intelligence in Apollo's eye, but it dulled like embers in ice, leaving only disinterested arrogance in its wake."

[And then back to Kinji's own.]

--so they're doin' somethin' directly t'mess with the gods an' make 'em complacent in their own demise.

So here's where it gets tricky. Yakumo thinks he can get me an in with the Titans - the storm spirits seem t'have all taken a likin' t'me, and they're already in on whatever the hell this plan is with the Titans, so unless there's any volunteers, I'll be goin' an sneakin' into that.

An' that means somebody else oughta try goin' back up the mountain t'try an' talk some sense into the gods. An' I reckon y'all might be able t'do that with some kinda skill that can clear their minds. I know there's a Song fer that, I can pass that on if'n someone needs it, but there's gotta be other ways that work better. If teleportin' or climbin's too far, I can make some kites an' Yakumo an' the other storm spirits can fly people up the mountain. It ain't too safe but it's a right sight faster than teleportin' or climbin' on foot.



...so. Thoughts?

This is definitely going to be a tricky one.

Once we get some information on who the Titans are, we can start gathering information about what they want to do, and whether they deserve the support. I'm... not sure what would happen if neither Arcana won, but I'm willing to risk it if the Titans would wind up being poor stewards of these people.

[leftbehindagain]

That is likely to determine a lot, yes. it sounds like Minako-san's friend is a good lead, and we can't rule out familiar faces either - has anyone seen any of them around?

[professorwolf]

Hermes was one, I believe. He's the only one I've seen, though.

[leftbehindagain]

And from the sound of things, he's not in much of a state to comment coherently on things.

[professorwolf]

He commented, all right. Rather thought we should all muddle along just fine on our own. That we were getting worked up over a bit of weather.

...Okay, I've met a couple gods with seriously misguided ideas about what their people want, and even by those standards that's a pretty screwed-up attitude.

[professorwolf]

I thought so, too. Lanides is downright disgusted; I'm mostly disappointed. To be honest, I'm not that surprised. The gods in mythology, what I remember of them, weren't particularly responsible or helpful, either.
