Ah... hey everyone, it's Ambrose. I was Milo for a while there but I'm back to being me and one hundred percent less tree-like. So, I've gotta ask do we uh. I mean, some other folks've gotta be wondering too so--

[ a slight pause, then in a rush: ]

What's the least harmful way we can test for immortality? Cuz I wouldn't put it past the Arcana to leave people stuck with that.

[ he's totally not asking for a friend, okay. ]

Speaking of Arcana: I'd like to meet with all the folks who've been Marked by the Fool - he calls himself Don Orlea - so maybe we can coordinate or. Something. Dunno if we want to do it all together or what but either way, I'll provide snacks.

Break the skin, see how fast it heals.

[Said with all the confidence of someone who's done this multiple times now.]

...maybe keep a healer on hand.

[wholeheaded]

Yeah, see, I'm trying to avoid unnecessary pain because...well, I'm not the only one it hurts.

[ being married to a First Law compliant robot is. a thing. ]

Though how much breakage are we talking? What about like a blood draw?

[ninjayeehaw]

I'm gonna say anythin' bigger'n a papercut's unnecessary. Blood draw'd work - basically yer just lookin' t'see if y'all got them silver streaks.

[wholeheaded]

Silver streaks. So you guys worked this out already? I shouldn't be surprised.

[ninjayeehaw]

That Minako girl got it 'bout a week or two in. Tachibana's overlay had it too, an' told me how he was immortal. Two an' two!

[wholeheaded]

Ah.

[ well. those are strong odds unless it's best two out of three and he's the third and gosh he's not sure how to feel about all this. ]

Well, I'm sure I'll find out soon enough. So, um, are you up for a meeting to discuss our creepy wannabe patron?

[ninjayeehaw]

[Fingers crossed for you, Ambrose.]

I'd be down fer that. 's'worth gettin' everyone on the same page 'bout him.

[wholeheaded]

Assuming we can, what with... Fool stuff. I need to get a list of his attributes together so we don't all just think we're idiots.

[ninjayeehaw]

Some a' the Persona kids - that mob a' Japanese teens, I think they set up a bunch a' stuff on their world's tarot a while ago. If it's true that the Arcana're consistent across all a' these universes, that oughta be helpful fer gettin' the rough shape a' things with Orlea.

[wholeheaded]

They've set themselves up as the pros for all this, yeah, I listened in on a couple of their presentations on stuff. I know he's... openness, beginning, recklessness, folly, innocence. Stuff like that.
