So goals?

[forcechanic]

So. Uh. Three weeks in, does anyone have a sense of which Arcana would be really into whether the book is better than the movie?

[That's the stakes of this Jaunt, right? Whether that movie follows the book or not?]

Also I forgot how much I kriffing hate sludge news.

Well. If we take the fact that it's nearly as quiet as frickin' Doki and there may or may not be love polygon bullshit in the background, Lovers would be a good guess. I'm not sure who else out of the ones still in.

Hopefully a movie getting out will be a good end, whatever else happens.

[forcechanic]

A Lovers win would be something about the polygon instead of the movie, probably.

[If they made it not exclusive]

Tower's the one who likes explosions but Tower's long gone.

[claudiometer]

This really super does not feel like Tower's speed regardless, I gotta say. Not when his idea of a good time was Bando and Greece.

If Raidou's right and Strength's the other side of this... I don't know if either of them are rules-insistent enough not to pull a Yensid, so we might want to keep an eye out for separate things they might be playing for and what they'd want out of 'make a movie' as a solo goal.

[thornsofmalkav]

... yeah, no, I'm pretty fucking sure it's not Tower. [For some reason Thorne sounds fairly exasperated by even the thought of Tower.]

[claudiometer]

Well, I mean, he's been out of the running since the Olympian Tire Fire. I think we would've noticed if he got re-entered somehow.

...Did someone do something stupid?

[thornsofmalkav]

Multiple someones. And it's been weeks and I'm still not sure if I'm more impressed or annoyed.

... honestly, I'll let them explain after the Jaunt is over

[claudiometer]

Fair.

[capital_asset]

Is this related to that thing you couldn't tell me about?

Private x2 protected 5ever

[thornsofmalkav]

Yes. Yes it is.

Private x2 protected 5ever

[capital_asset]

[...Great.]

Is that something I should hold off on asking about until after this is over?

Re: Private x2 protected 5ever

[thornsofmalkav]

Given that he's on the walkabout and can't explain for himself... yeah. Probably.

[capital_asset]

[Well, that doesn't sound good.]

The post-Jaunt Liminal's going to be... interesting, isn't it.

Re: Private x2 protected 5ever

[thornsofmalkav]

Probably, yeah.

Re: Private x2 protected 5ever

[capital_asset]

Lovely.

[He's assuming it will be more or less the opposite of that.]

[forcechanic]

Re-writing movies doesn't seem most of their speed.

We might want to keep an eye out for Emperor Emperor showing up to complain about them Yensiding too.

[claudiometer]

I don't think he'd show up in person, just yell at them after the fact.

[forcechanic]

That just shows poor commitment to actually fixing anything.

[claudiometer]

Guess it depends on whether he cares more about the definite rules violation of Yensiding, so far as there's an actual rule in place for it, or the potential rules violation of popping up where he's not expected to be interfering.

[forcechanic]

When you put it that way... Empress might pop up to head off his heart attack. She doesn't care if she's supposed to be here.

[claudiometer]

No. No, she does not.

[forcechanic]

But she might care about his blood pressure.

If they have blood.

[claudiometer]

Going off Minako's encounter with 'em in Hotel Redwood back in Newport, she does usually manage to keep him calm. Ish. Can't say whether they have blood, though.

[forcechanic]

Calmish is probably good for us.

Not really a good way to test the blood...
