I know the Trumps sometimes use Liminal Space to send us messages, but I'm not at all sure what this one means. Does anyone have any ideas?

I think the last one meant that the Hierophant, Fortune, Temperance, and the Star are dead.

[leftbehindagain]

...That's a heck of a conclusion to jump to.

[fridgeninja]

There were symbols of death, and things that belonged to the dead - and stars, crosses, wheels, and cups.

[shiroganeheir]

[Naoto's mental tone is highly dubious at best.]

What brought you to that conclusion, senpai? What is your evidence?

[fridgeninja]

A reading Margaret did. Something strange happened at the end, and we discovered four of her cards were missing... and their symbols were all around us, on the shelves.

[creativefool]

[Fortune. Temperance... gone?]

The... the hell? Look, I'm new to this crap, but ... from what I've heard... if these guys are just that powerful and something's killin' them off... what could-

What's that gonna do to us?

[fridgeninja]

We haven't seen anything more powerful than them, yet.

But we have seen things that are their equals.

[amadine]

If you're right, that's four dead and...it's been four now who've claimed Travelers, hasn't it?

[fridgeninja]

Unless any of them made claims before Moebius, yes.

[wholeheaded]

If I could see a blasted thing I might have some ideas, but this fog is not letting up for me.

[ trying very hard to keep this casual but... he's a bit alarmed. dead trumps isn't a thing that had even occurred to Ambrose, and he's not sure if he wants to buy the idea. ]

[fridgeninja]

It's a zoo.

[shiroganeheir]

Your fog is not letting up either, Ambrose-san? I cannot make mine go away other than for a few moments with a heavy spell.

[seestheworld]

If that's the case, then does that mean they're going to want to replace them at some point?

[leftbehindagain]

...I was trying to avoid coming to that conclusion, given what the next question is.

[fridgeninja]

I'm not sure. Have there been any signs of that?

[purseownerisme]

...they're not thinking about replacing those claimed are they?

[fridgeninja]

The memo didn't specify.

[prolificarse]

Do you mean aside from "you're here to dance for our pleasure"? Because that seems abundantly clear.

[fridgeninja]

Sometimes they get a little more specific.

[darkhourdear]

[...Phillip might know a lot about tarot, but observant he is not, so he has no idea what Souji's talking about.]

Um... well, other than the obvious stuff about us being trapped, I guess maybe the fog and shadowy things could mean something? [he is so not good at this.]

Why do you think that about the last one?

[fridgeninja]

Their symbols were there with the things that belonged to dead people. If "death" was the theme, and they were represented...

[thirdarrow]

I would not conclude that so hastily. More evidence should be considered...

[ But he doesn't quite finish that sentence, because when it comes to Trumps what even are evidence. ]

[fridgeninja]

But you saw the signs as well?

[turbedon]

... That's just a little worrying. If that's true, does that mean the Trumps are killing each other off, or something else is?

Also, does that mean they're marking Travelers as their private soldiers... or as their potential replacements?

[fridgeninja]

I don't really have any information suggesting one or the other.

[hakodate]

So, running with that possibility for a moment. I know we can't answer these questions either, but -

[Though he is not considering it as more than possibility, until they have something more.]

Were they dead long before now, or is this a recent development?

If Trumps are dropping now, what happens to those claimed if the Trump who snatched them up goes?

[More food for thought! \o/ ]

[knightceties]

Hmm... And if this is all true, why are they telling us? Seems like they wouldn't want us to know that Trumps can die, right?
