During the Drive Thru Liminal

[whydoyoushine]

[Did you want one of those Liminal movies sensory livestreamed directly into your brain, Travelers? Of course you did! Because that's just what's happening now. The Jaunt in question? Children of the Night. Zed's just going to offer a neverending stream of commentary--it's like when you go to the theater and some asshole thinks everyone in there needs his annoying commentary that he thinks is witty. (Spoilers: none of this commentary is witty. None of it. At least it's nearing the end of the movie, and there Zed's overlay goes making off with enough money to thoroughly destabilize Sarmartia's economy.

Zed's absolutely cackling now.]

Oh, man, the dramatization there, I tell you, my overlay was way calmer about it whenever he was bailing there, yeah. Good times, huh? Good times...

Towards the end of Drive-In Liminal

At this point, there are some things we can confirm that have happened. Somehow the last Jaunt ended in a tie, and that Lovers was returned because of it. Before this, I briefly spoke on my belief that a single Arcana winning this game is not the best outcome, but I was unsure of the possibility of encouraging ties, and bringing back those who’ve been eliminated.

Now that both of those things have been confirmed, I think it’s time to open the discussion again.

My thoughts are this: That the Arcana are all important in their own ways, and for a truly balanced world, they should all be reflected equally. There are obstacles to this in that some of them have been killed, but Emperor confirmed that completing the game will bring the dead back. There are also obstacles in the fact that the Arcana themselves don’t seem aware or willing to consider the possibility of joint wins. Of course, to succeed, we would need to find a way to alter the rules, and gain the cooperation of at least one of the Arcana.

That last point I think should be the first step, but before I proceed, I wanted to hold a discussion. There may be things I’ve missed, or don’t have the experience to properly understand, and coming together to share ideas will make us stronger and more cohesive for it.
