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.

perma so

That does sound like a bad variation.

[claudiometer]

It's worse than that. She was trying to save her daughter.

[rustyhonesty]

... oh. Yeah that's definitely bad.

[claudiometer]

So yeah, if time travel's the name of the game here, I hope it's not for that little gain.

[rustyhonesty]

Definitely. Though it makes me wonder if they're trying to do something crazy again, like in Questing Country.

[claudiometer]

The only thing they have to gain from going forward is trying to sneak a peek at who wins, and that's probably way too much like cheating for most of 'em to try.

On the other hand, they have three very compelling reasons to go back, so craziness is all but guaranteed at this point.

[rustyhonesty]

... the dead Arcana. Fortune, Star and Temperance... right?

[claudiometer]

Probably Hierophant instead of Temperance, but otherwise you're right on the money. When we went deadspace-poking there were... heavy implications that Temperance's death was caused by Harrogate-level bullshit, and that's like. The one thing all of us and them can agree we shouldn't mess with unless we don't have a choice.

It's probably not safe for 'em to make that particular attempt, but I could see them trying to contact any of the other three via this ridiculousness.

[rustyhonesty]

Right... I forgot there are four gone. But yeah, that makes sense.

I definitely can see them attempting something ridiculous even while pushing us into danger.

[claudiometer]

Eh, not necessarily any more or less danger than usual for a jaunt. Which I know doesn't necessarily help, but.

[rustyhonesty]

We never really know before heading out, unless it's special like Harrogate.
