Open to Investigators

[shiroganeheir]

I cannot be the only person who is worried about PSYCHE-net, can I? I have no problems with androids or robots, however there is just something unsettling about this that I cannot put my finger on. We need to keep a close watch on this so-called beta situation.

Also, is anyone else suspicious about this... entity? I am beginning to wonder if we are encountering another one of our infamous Trumps. The Lovers comes to mind. Any thoughts?

[seestheworld]

I meant the Trumps, yeah. Which ones have shown up so far?

[shiroganeheir]

Fool, Sun, and Moon.

I spoke to Moon and Sun, who 'claimed' me. I am still uncertain what that means, however, I have a tattoo of the Sun Tarot card on my arm.

Also, for the record, because this will mean something to you, my Arcana is Fortune back home.

[seestheworld]

...So your actual Arcana doesn't have any bearing on which Trump claims you, then. Although there are so many people here who either don't know their Arcana or just plain don't have one that I guess they'd have to do it that way.

Do you have any idea why they're claiming people, or are they keeping that mysterious, too?

[shiroganeheir]

I believe I am the only person with an actual Arcana who has been claimed, but I could be wrong. I do not know everyone personally. I believe we have three people here who are Fool Arcana, but the Fool chose others.

I cannot even begin to speculate. Sun spoke to me of 'allies', and I seem to be the only one that Sun claimed, so take that as you will.

[seestheworld]

I wonder how united they are...

I'm guessing they observe or test us somehow before they decide to claim us, so if this is another Trump, then it's pretty well-placed for that.

[shiroganeheir]

I am certain that Moon and Sun at least were working together, as Moon pointed me to Sun in the first place. Other than that, I do not know.

It would be extremely well-placed to find someone or some ones who are connected to its interests.

[seestheworld]

Yeah, that's what worries me.

...Hey, were you counting me as one of the Fool Arcana?

[shiroganeheir]

Yes? Was that incorrect?

I apologise if so. I was assuming you had the same Arcana as Souji.

[seestheworld]

No, that's right. Or it was - I think it changed at the end.

[shiroganeheir]

Ah. Understood.

I did not know Arcana could change, but it would make sense.

[seestheworld]

Well, the circumstances at the time were kind of... extreme, but yeah.

[shiroganeheir]

In that case, I can understand. From what I know of Arcana, they are quite situational. If one's situation changes, their Arcana can change.

Not that I have heard of this ever happening, but in theory, it is possible.

[seestheworld]

...I can tell you about it sometime if you want. Just... I don't want it to get back to Ken, at least not yet. I'm not sure how different his world is from mine - aside from the part where I'm a guy, I guess - but I'm a lot farther ahead than he is, and I'm not sure what he should or shouldn't know.

[shiroganeheir]

Understood. I would not tell him anyway. His future is his own business, not to mention any possible differences between his reality and yours.

Perhaps in a more comfortable moment when we are not assailed by love every time we turn around.

[seestheworld]

Right.

And... right.

By the way, you've seen Ken here, haven't you?

[shiroganeheir]

Yes. I spoke to him on the first day, but have not had much chance since. He has... aged up and is Infiltrating. I am attemping to keep an eye on him, but, well, he seems to be doing quite well for himself.

[seestheworld]

Yeah, I've been trying to keep an eye on him, too. Although he's got Koro-chan with him, and he's probably doing the same thing.

[shiroganeheir]

Good. He will have plenty of people watching out for him. I do not believe this Jaunt will be of any danger to any of us, however, you never know.

[seestheworld]

Yeah, better safe than sorry.
