[end of the first day of the jaunt] Tell me baby, how do I turn my back on you, tell me how to leave

[finalizes]

Can we leave the immediate area of where any of us showed up safely?

And does anyone know or knows how to find out which direction would be best to head into if one wants to find the closest free wolf packs?

[When they arrived he figured that he would just stick with his pack and sometimes return to Liminal and it would be good, but he's already fed up with all the noise and all the humans. Plus he could really use some off-time from all this human-mind business. Just running with a wolf pack for a few days or more sounds perfect.

He just needs to find one and hope that it all works out.]

I couldn't say. Arcana being eliminated is too new to know much about how it works for their marked.

I can't see who is marked by whom influencing the jaunts much one way or the other.

Maybe not yet. But some people have strong opinions about their arcana, or others. When we get down to fewer contenders, it seems likely that who wins and who doesn't will start to matter more to people.

You would think that they would redistribute those who belong to Arcana that are not in the game anymore.

It makes it look like this won't actually be over once they have decided a winner.

Maybe they can't. The ones that are out of the running - they're not gone, and they probably don't want to give up what little influence that gives them. I'm not even sure the marks can be taken off.

And as we get fewer and fewer contenders, it would be harder and harder to fit everyone into one of the remaining Arcana.

As for this not being over... it probably depends on who the victor is. Some of them want this to end, and others don't. They've done this before, so it's certainly possible there'll be another round. Whether any of us will be around for it is impossible to say.

That might have been another point of Moebius. To give no traveller reference for what they have done before, so all we have to go on is what history the Arcana tell us about.

Death and Devil are responsible for Moebius - Death for its cyclical nature, Devil for its bloodshed. It was meant as a punishment, but if they are to be believed none but Devil meant it to be that bad. And none of them truly understood how bad it was at the time.

It's also been said that the memory loss was not intentional on their part. Again, if you trust their word on it.

So it comes down to how much you trust their word on it.
