--holy shit, that actually worked.

[This is not a voice that checked in at the start of the Jaunt. Someone's just made the trip over from Walkabout.]

Okay, so. Hey guys it's Gil - or, like, I dunno, G1L? I guess? Fucking Tron and shit. Anyway me and Raidou just came over from Walkabout-slash-Finland side-- it's just snow and turning into animals, easy mode - everyone's fine. [not important]

Which is why I came over, because I have some actually useful info. I went and talked to Magician before the Jaunt - it's definitely her versus Empress on this one, for the record - and like, alongside a shitload of cool info on how Synodiporia even works, I know how to get her the win on this one.

There's gonna be a Mutineer at some point - unless it's happened already? Fuck if I know - but whatever they're doing? We need in on that. They're gonna need everyone behind them for this to work for them.

I kinda guessed ROSE would be here. I suppose I should help my patron to win this, then.

Though somehow I wouldn't mind the Empress winning either. This is kind of a tough battle in a way.

[breakaleginhalf]

I think everyone figured that one, junior. This place is basically synonymous with her.

[loyalrebel]

Why should we give her the win?

[verdeleonessa]

Junior? Seriously?

Not everyone knows about all of the Arcana anyway.

[breakaleginhalf]

I figured you of all people would be into the idea of a world that doesn't involved being coddled like a little kid for the rest of your natural life. ROSE wants us to push shit just to see how far it goes.

[breakaleginhalf]

I'm 24-ish and you barely sound pubescent.

Nah, true. But people have been making warning posts about this one for like a week. I'd be surprised if people hadn't at least heard about Magician by now.

[loyalrebel]

I would much prefer an end to this entire cycle of games our hosts have been playing, in all honesty.

We also have to consider who else is going to be in the matches after this one. Empress is fairly predictable.

[breakaleginhalf]

Well I mean, yeah. That's the end goal.

But Magician's not really that unpredictable, though. Like, if you ask her something she'll straight up tell you. She wants us to think fast and act faster. Be smart.

[verdeleonessa]

Yeah, well, I am 15, but that doesn't mean you need to call me a junior.

Most likely everyone has, but some of us don't pay attention to the network all the time.

[She had her focus on Lotor, pretty much the whole Liminal.]

[breakaleginhalf]

I'm Aussie, shit nicknames come with the territory.

Yeah, no, that's fair. That's why I mentioned it at all. Still, if we can get our babe the win, might make things easier down the line. I don't like any of the Arcana on principle but ROSE is still the lesser of like, eighteen evils.

[verdeleonessa]

I'll keep that in mind. Name'd Pidge if you want to avoid nicknames. [Even if... that's also a nickname.] Or HOLT-2 in this Jaunt.

I've only talked to her once but I did like her in general.

I don't think Mutineer has happened yet. We've only made progress to the next city in the ZODIAC system so far.

[loyalrebel]

For us, yes. For them? They have no reason to stop playing.

Being fast and clever is not always the best solution to a problem. It often leads to missing things and causing more harm than good in the end.

[leftbehindagain]

Another one?

[breakaleginhalf]

Boy, that's promising.

[breakaleginhalf]

Good thing I'm not forcing you at gunpoint to do things this way. I'm team Magician, my dude, I'm gonna support her, and I know this way is gonna put some serious points in her favour. If you don't wanna do that, that's your own prerogative.

[leftbehindagain]

I was a major factor in the last Grid rebellion.

[breakaleginhalf]

Oh, shit.

Well, can't say if it's gonna be so bad as that one, literally all I got was a four step plan on what Magician needs to win.

Well, like. Other shit too but this is the immediately relevant bit.

[leftbehindagain]

The last one wasn't bad at all.

They'll probably want to talk to Variables. SHIRO did. You're probably also looking for a Miner - the Defenders are less paranoid this time around, but I'm not sure they'd be looking for ways out even with that consideration.

[forcechanic]

Picking a victory condition that involves us getting involved in the thing that completely upsets the status quo practically seems like cheating.

[You'd think the Arcana would try to keep in mind how Travellers are]

[tookashirototheknee]

Rebels? I'm in.

Well, other than the rebels who already seem to be here. They're led by a yellow-lighted program called SHIRO. Not my boyfriend. I think it's his future nibling-person.

Most fucking boring rebellion I've ever heard of, if some of the locals are to be believed.

[tookashirototheknee]

If we're avoiding nicknames Katie, at least get your name right.

[Irrelevant brother trolling is a go.]

[verdeleonessa]

Says the big brother who always calls me Pidge.

[verdeleonessa]

That's definitely a good point.

[forcechanic]

I wasn't here last time, but my overlay was and... well, there's a reason we even have Revolutionaries.

[portinari]

Should we not determine the consequences of a mutiny before we ascribe to it?
