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.

This still leaves 'how far back' - if they're dropping Back to the Future references, past is a pretty sure bet, and also they have three compelling reasons to look back while going forward to see who wins is probably cheating - and 'what do they want from it.'

We probably can't reliably answer either of those, but especially not the former, since past Moebius it's a lot of question marks.

Offhand, 'see if we can stop Star or Temperance or Hierophant from ever dying' seems like a decent reason. Or a test to see how much they can mess with time and Not Regret It.

God, 'before Moebius' would be the best way to do this without US catching on...

I don't think it's safe for them to get to Temperance. Eldritch bullshit. Even they're hesitant to tangle with eldritch bullshit.

It really would be, wouldn't it?

[otomechapilot]

Up against... Harrogate stuff. Yeah. That scares them, doesn't it?

Okay, so Star or Temperance or - or maybe Fortune. And everyone else thinks it's gonna be on, uh, West Mars.

...that movie didn't have them go to the Wild West, did it?

[claudiometer]

The first one didn't, no.
