A Couple of Questions [Post Greek Jaunt/Carousel Liminal, Day 3]

[naturaltwohands]

[Someone was a nerd and has been thinking about this an awful lot before asking his questions. Which might be noticeable.]

My greetings, fellow Travelers. I have two questions to ask of you.

Firstly—what transpired during the last Jaunt? My Overlay was not... privy to most of the details.

Secondly—and perhaps more personally—are there others Marked by Astræa—by Justice? I am curious.

I didn't end up going, but from what I heard it got pretty tense at times. Still, they managed to actually have the meeting and not start a war, so that's good overall.

[And it boxed Tower out, which is good news for literally the entire universe.]

[naturaltwohands]

I suspect anyone who had their fellows thrown off a mountain would be rather tense.

It is good that you were able to avoid war. ... From what I understand, Chariot won?

[leftbehindagain]

I think that turned out to be one person getting carried away and pissing off their own side more than anything else.

Yeah, Chariot won.

[naturaltwohands]

I have heard about throwing things when angry, but gods?

And the contest was against Tower, yes? According to what I have heard, at least.

[leftbehindagain]

Chucking them in the general direction of underground prison, from what I gathered, which wasn't a popular move even with the pantheon planning the takeover. Some of them had been there themselves.

It was, and that... brought its own problems.

[naturaltwohands]

Hmm, most do not like prison, I suppose, and a godly prison I can only imagine is worse than a mortal one.

How so?

[After a moment, Naoki locks the conversation. This conversation was trying enough the first few times.]

Boxing Tower out of the competition at large was... important to several of us, from the perspective of the Arcana's game at large. Unfortunately, with Chariot being on the other side of things it wasn't as simple as 'restore the old order' - it had to fall apart somehow, but that would have been very nasty on several fronts.

And then you get the people who think you can't care about a world's welfare and the entire universe's welfare at the same time, or letting their personal biases get in the way of what was actually happening.

.... What a incredible headache that must have been. My congratulations on managing the victory.

And those people do not realize that if you cannot save one world, then you surely cannot hope to save the rest.

Don't thank me, the most useful thing I did was snap Kanji back to himself out of his overlay and then help fight a two-headed dog.

Exactly. Tower has a place on a personal scale sometimes, but much bigger than that and it just gets ugly. The last thing we need is an entire universe based on cataclysm.

... Well, at least you were not bored.

[Ah, amused sarcasm there.]

I would prefer to avoid that, yes. Especially in places with things like cars, which I hear are driven by an explosion of sorts in their engines? Oh no, let's avoid that, rather than have every intersection turn into its own apocalypse.

After dealing with Izanami, that was nothing.

...That's an aspect I could have lived without considering, really. But you're probably right that it'd make internal combustion messier along with everything else.

Ha!

My apologies, but I could not help myself. I saw a zombie apocalypse movie while on the Pogemon jaunt. It was... Over the top.

[His player would like to break the forth wall and note here that he is NOT one to talk.]

The apocalypse genre in general usually is.

[naturaltwohands]

Almost offensively so. Father said the zombies did not move right.

[As much as Drizzt thinks Entreri's sense of humor is bad, so is his.]

I had fun making fun of it with him.

[Sorry Drizzt is a chatterbox after just being away for six weeks HE MISSED EVERYONE.]
