Inception or Double Rainbow, pick your meme

I'm talking with Matthew Cuthbert, one of the Travelers from the first time we were here. Azure is very insistent that he's Stone, and has been this whole jaunt, only Matthew himself had an overlay, one who died in the storm last week.

Has there ever been this sort of... layered infiltration before?

... or if by being wounded and finally succumbing to the wound. But yeah. It's weird.

[triggerhappytraitor]

With how many of us have some form of healing powers or can even use Liminal itself to heal... the hell kind of injury or illness could linger like that?

[thornsofmalkav]

I mean, they're living concepts, aren't they? Maybe something wounded her concept.

[[Another short pause.]]

Her win was what introduced more random elements into their game, wasn't it?

[["Fighting Fate" in this case would seem to be more in line with that, rather than being locked into a predetermined life...]]

[thornsofmalkav]

Yeah. I'm pretty sure. She's, like, luck and chance and stuff like that.

[triggerhappytraitor]

... so too many loses in and of itself might have been damaging.

[[A small pause]]

Too many failures and lost chances... without hope, luck can't do anything.

[thornsofmalkav]

If she lost in ways that ran counter to her idiom, yeah. Could have damaged the fuck out of her. So that, like, even having achieved the world couldn't help her.

[triggerhappytraitor]

Like being destroyed by your own doubts... [[The thought has a very rueful note in it. Been there. Done that. 0/10 , Would not recommend ]]

Yeaaahhhhh. Man, a slow death sucks for anyone, but it must be a special kind of suck when you're an idea.
