Open to All Investigators (Backdated to AFTER the attack)

[purseownerisme]

Everyone, I hope you guys are doing alright after that massive attack...hopefully we won't have to do one for awhile but knowing our luck, I don't count on it. I do however have some things I would like to either tell you and ask you at the same time.

The first thing: I found one of the Trumps. She's a blue haired program who is the biggest workaholic I have ever met and I've taken on at least three or four part time jobs back home. She's also looking for something as well...

For those who have been around the Cryptos or Green Team, has any of them mention a 'center' like a hub maybe? It's not much but it's all I got.

One more thing: be careful when speaking to the Trump. She can claim up to five of us. Not only that...

[Her voice tightens.]

These jaunts...what we do to help others...they're games to them. If 'round' means anything...there's a lot more things we stumbled on.

Maybe our own. We don't remember shit before Moebius, could be before all of our times or it could be that some of us were around for whatever happened here before and just don't know about it.

[leftbehindagain]

Hmm.

Raidou-san mentioned the Cryptos are looking for someone they call SAGE. So if the Trumps ran the show last time, who's SAGE? Magician and Hermit spring to mind. So does Hierophant, but that can't be Lovers' partner if they're around to come back.

[purseownerisme]

...Hierophant is dead.

Hierophant, Star, Temperance, and Fortune...they're all dead.

[leftbehindagain]

...Well, shit.

Still, depending on how long ago this was, they could have been the opponent in the last run of things here. Hierophant just can't be the partner figure, since they're around to come back.

[seestheworld]

So who's left? Fool, Sun, Moon, and Lovers have all shown up, right? So, not counting the... dead Arcana, that leaves Magician, High Priestess, Empress and Emperor, Chariot, Justice, Hermit, Strength, Hanged Man, Death, Devil, Tower, Judgement, Aeon, and... World, right?

[She can't quite bring herself to say Universe.]

[purseownerisme]

It's possible the one I met is Chariot considering the ride she has. I thought Priestess at first but she's a snarky pain in the ass.

[seestheworld]

What's her ride like?

[purseownerisme]

Kind of like if a roomba and a bulldozer had a baby.

[seestheworld]

...Huh.

[At least it's not a murdercube.]

[leftbehindagain]

Aeon's probably not part of this. It's from another deck entirely.

After this mess is over, we should get as many people who can talk tarot as possible together to explain it to everyone else. We all need to have a fighting chance at figuring out who's up in our business this time.

Once I get Kanji and Naoto caught up on everything they missed, that's something to think about.

[seestheworld]

Oh, right - that was Crowley's deck, wasn't it? Thoth?

[She's kind of glad Aigis isn't here to hear her that her Arcana isn't standard. She'd already had issues about being Other in various ways, and while she probably would have coped, Minako still wouldn't want to dump yet another way Aigis is Other onto her.]

And yeah, that's probably a good idea, if something like it hasn't happened already.

[leftbehindagain]

I wouldn't be surprised if it's come up on a one-on-one basis before - I picked up a lot from Kanji before we even got here, once he had Margaret-san explain it to him. But this is quickly becoming really, really important, so getting the word out as much as possible before everyone who understands it gets stuck infiltrating would be a good idea.

[Or, you know. It's only Souji and Adachi investigating, and they're too busy sniping at each other to do anything useful.]

[seestheworld]

[Perish the thought.]

Right.
