... You're allowed to swear, you know.

[eldritchwheelies]

Where babby Rose can hear? No thanks. Wash would kill me and I'd deserve it.

[helborn]

... Oh yeah, that's a thing.

Still... you doing okay?

[eldritchwheelies]

Better than I was there. Strength's Therapy Garden is helping. So's the fact the we won, and will never have to deal with two of the most unpleasant Ancient Ones that ever were ever again.

...Actually. Do we KNOW it was the Devil this time? Chariot outright said that the first time we went there Devil wanted us to barely prevent the end of the world.

[helborn]

Not for certain I think, but with all the treasure in the liminal before I wouldn't be surprised.

[eldritchwheelies]

And some of the reports of a different Bastet that appeared in our dreams.

Now that I know there were two of them with different personalities, I am dead certain that mine was Strength wearing a cat ear headband.

[helborn]

... Yeah neither of them showed up in my dreams directly, I think. There were cats fighting... some cat monster, but I don't know. It was some kind of -

Wait, no. Maybe Strength and the other one were the tigers in my dreams. that would make sense. Dammit, why is prophecy so indirect?

[eldritchwheelies]

I actually know the answer to this. It's to prevent time from breaking when you act on prophecies.

Accurate prophecy can sometimes cause time paradoxes if you use it to avert the future.

Least, that's the theory on my world.

[helborn]

... Well, only if you see it as a possibility of a future, not the certain future. Depends on how it works.

[eldritchwheelies]

It's not universal, but it's common enough that precogs tend to ruleslawyer just how vague they can get away with back home.

Of course, my home is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

[helborn]

It's kind of hard to tell, it's not like the rules here are the same as the ones at home, probably.

[dino_zarf]

The thought's appreciated.

[He's resigned himself to Rose being able to cuss him out in thirty languages, but he doesn't like it]

[eldritchwheelies]

Hey man, she gets into everything as it is, I'm gonna make my vocabulary baby safe if I can.

[dino_zarf]

Might manage to delay it by a couple days, at least.

[leftbehindagain]

What's a roga and why are we eating it?

Well, why are they eating it, I suppose.

[eldritchwheelies]

The HarROGAte ThEATre, or what was left of it. It got super haunted before Altair's overlay exorcised the hell out of it.

Nyarlathotep can eat the entire goddamn building. Every last brick.

[leftbehindagain]

Ah. I don't think that particular scrambled message ever got relayed.

Congratulations, though. Considering where you guys were this is downright tranquil.

[eldritchwheelies]

An Arcanum that knows the meaning of chill is very happy about our coming together and sharing inner strength and stuff.

Beats the Devil, if you ask me.

[leftbehindagain]

Was it Devil? [Not that that'd be a surprise.]

[eldritchwheelies]

That's my best guess. Chariot told me why he won last time, and I am pretty sure he was gunning for the same kind of victory this time - one that can hardly be called victory.

Say what you will about the Arcana, but I trust them to be Arcana, and Chariot would probably explode if he had to lie.

[leftbehindagain]

Yeah, that's the impression I got from Kanji.

[haremtrap]

Yup we sure did.

Time to sleep for a week.

[eldritchwheelies]

If you trust Strength at all, sleeping on the lotus blossoms is dreamless.

Let me just say that I'm releived that Arcanum won this. You know, given the likely alternative.

[haremtrap]

That's good.

Seriously though I should be able to sleep now without having nightmares about mouths and eyes, right? Because that shit was getting old.

[eldritchwheelies]

...if it keeps happening, I know a couple of tricks that can help. There are other folks around who are better at pure healing that you can ask too.

It shouldn't keep happening, both in the "cause it sucks" and in the "what's likely" senses.

[haremtrap]

Thank god.

Alright then uh, have fun. It's nap time.

[cloudpotter]

Wasshoi. [ooh, somebody's heart isn't in that celebratory phrase. but the next bit sounds more earnest, at least:] Good work out there.

[ninjayeehaw]

Yeehaw. [About the same level of energy as his boyfriend teammate there, but still very genuine.]

[eldritchwheelies]

Same, to be honest. Your overlays actually saved some lives with their How To Elder Sign videos.

Y'all done good.
