[open to all] Trump speculation + calling

[howexciting]

... Perdonatemi, I have an announcement.

I am not sure anyone else is aware of this, but the payphone by the door can connect to the Trumps. Or at least, when I attempted to call a Trump, it went through. I am not sure if all the Trumps are available for a call or not. I have heard some of them are dead, so they are likely not, at least. In truth, I am not really sure why they are allowing us to speak to them, now. We should all proceed with caution.

Further... if anyone has information on any of the Trumps that appeared this past Jaunt - The Magician, going by ROSE; The Hermit, going by SAGE; and The Devil - please, share it. I am not well versed in the mystical meanings behind the Tarot, only the cards and their numbers. The Magician is one, The Hermit nine, and the Devil fifteen. While I cannot say I know much about The Hermit, I am aware of many aspects of SAGE, as I was a Crypto this past Jaunt. I... I can tell you what little I know about him, if it would help.

... lastly, if anyone was Marked and feels comfortable coming forward with that information, I would be much obliged to hear it. Private or public, it does not concern me; I shall not come forward with that information unless you are comfortable providing it publicly. With so many Trumps amongst us, I cannot believe any of them would leave empty-handed, as it were.

I don't know if there is a way we can make them do it. But we definitely can't make them stop, and I'm not convinced the end result is a war. We don't have enough information yet.

He might've had to leave for her to win this one, true, but I'd meant the first time around. He might well have stayed there on his own, but for whatever reason Lovers and Devil decided to make sure of it.

I definitely agree there's not a clear right side in this. ROSE stle us from under the others' noses to do something she wasn't supposed to do, SAGE upset things somehow, even if it was just by choosing to remove himself from the field, and Lovers and Devil answered that with a forcible corruption agent - not the way to make yourself look good.

What do you believe their game is, then?

[That is more important now, more than anything else.]

[leftbehindagain]

I don't know. It might be nothing more than a game, but - we barely know what is going on. There's not much use in panicking over unknowns.

[howexciting]

... perhaps you're right, but I... I can't help but feel that we are in a great deal of danger. Orange would be thrilled if he could hear us now.

[leftbehindagain]

All we can do about that is try to make sure it happens on our terms as much as possible. [...Which, yes, is going to include some people deliberately contacting Trumps whenever an opportunity arises.]

Who's Orange?

[howexciting]

... he was an Infiltrator whose role I assumed during my very first Jaunt.

[leftbehindagain]

I see.

[This is probably not the time to ask for more details, so he doesn't.]

[howexciting]

It is not that I am panicking over unknowns, however... it is more like I am trying to see where these points connect. Surely there must be some thread to follow, here.
