The highlight of his career as an Oracle

[rustyhonesty]

So, as I promised Sara I talked to a resident Liminal Horse, thanks to being an Oracle and all. Well.

[It's easier if he just shares a memory.]

Anyone have any clue what this was about? I mean, I could try talking to other horses, too, but I doubt I'd get anything useful from them.

And yes, that's me.

Oh! It's a song! From the American 1980s!

[rustyhonesty]

I did think they sounded like song lyrics the more was said.

But why?

[willyousee]

[No one said don't sing, so guess what. He's singing. Beautifully! With perfect pitch! But he sure is singing it.]

[willyousee]

Why? Mm, good question! But it's a fun song! Excellent to dance to.

[rustyhonesty]

[Jean has to chuckle at the sudden musical show.]

And apparently fun to sing, too.

[willyousee]

It is! We should really have one of those karaoke places again. There are many good things to dance and sing to from that era, I've found.

[rustyhonesty]

I don't think I've ever sung in karaoke. My overlay did sing in January though, but I never tried it as myself...

[otomechapilot]

Lot of Tiresias going on, huh?

And yeah, makes me wonder if Lovers is involved. Or there's the lyrics thing.

private, psi protect 2

[rustyhonesty]

Ah, it's not Tiresias actually. It's part of my Oracle form.

I could go and ask, but I doubt she'd have permission to tell me. But otherwise I have no idea what to think about this.

basically assume it's protected

[otomechapilot]

Can't hurt. She is who she is - she'd like chatting with us for it's own sake, I think.

...uh hey. Is there like. A list of Mark powers? What does Lovers give out?

[rustyhonesty]

I'll go ask. I'm the last one of her team anyway...

I don't think there is, no. Though what I've managed to do is see the connections between Travelers when they're withing certain distance.

[otomechapilot]

...I’ve picked that up. There’s no Jaunt where that’d make sense, never been to Dokidoki.

Somehow I’ve got a Lovers power. Maybe cause I was nice to her at Yensid?

[rustyhonesty]

I've never heard of anyone getting a power from someone who isn't their Arcana.

Do you want to talk with her? If I can learn how to take people with me through a Bridge, I could take you to her. Or tell her that you want to talk...

That is, if I know how to make a bridge. I should, in theory.

[Excuse Claudia while she cracks the fuck up. She'll be with you for useful commentary shortly.]

[rustyhonesty]

What's so funny?

[claudiometer]

Well, Alcuin's already covered the actual song the horse was quoting. It was a major set piece in a movie that's close to my heart.

[rustyhonesty]

Oh. What's the movie about?

1/2

[claudiometer]

Not love, entertainingly enough. Improving lives and helping family with a little help from time travel.

[claudiometer]

[...wait a second.]




...Shit. Time travel.

[otomechapilot]

HA!

I KNEW time shenanigans were coming! And if ANYONE would call a mulligan it's Fool.

[rustyhonesty]

Oh... yay. Time travel.

[bite_the_hand]

...I think I'm missing something here.

[Knowing Liminal space this probably means something about the next Jaunt, but he has no idea what it could possibly be.]

[rustyhonesty]

That's nothing new.

[Look, he had to.]

[bite_the_hand]

[There's a flash of anger - but he pauses rather than yells. When he speaks again Jean can likely picture Eren's smug grin quite easily.]

Maybe not. But at least I catch things more often than you do.

[rustyhonesty]

[He can picture it and hates it. Though he tries not to let that show out in public. Even if Eren is very aware it annoys him.]

Keep dreaming that you do and maybe one day you'll come close.
