A totally legit announcement

Okay, so, what even happened on that one?

Besides, like. Everyone getting mad at Fuckface McGee and proving Jean-Paul Sartre right on the whole "hell is other people" thing. Or one of the Princes knowing about Travelling and Arcana now.

[Gil you can't just slide that in there like literally anyone except you and Raidou knows that--]

Oh, actually - don't go busting in on Arcana spaces without knocking first right now, 'cos apparently you're at a very real risk of being turned into flash-frozen helium, according to Magician.

I still don't quite get what the Arcana are useful for, and Judgement, I guess, didn't give me a straight answer either.

[razorblade_empress]

Judgement expects their chosen to understand what they mean via osmosis, near as I can tell. And we're the ones they actually like.

[prince_of_pain]

I may have half a mind to go talk to them myself. I've had enough of dealing with cryptic gods.

[breakaleginhalf]

Yeah, you're not gonna get much better here. Most of these fucks are cryptic by design.

[prince_of_pain]

I think I'll give it a shot anyway.

[He'll rip judgement's door off if possible.]

They seem to value efficiency in conversation - the first and last time I talked to them, they complained that my questions weren't efficient enough - but they also seem to think we should already know how they think and what they mean. They're also really not big on cheaters and rule-breakers. That includes other Arcana - they'e planning to exact judgment on them if they win this thing. Meanwhile, we're supposed to pass judgment on all the other Travelers.

The weird thing, though, is that they don't act very much like their archetype at all. They're supposed to be about forgiveness, atonement, and second chances, but they act like pretty much the exact opposite. If you're familiar with Tarot at all, they're basically acting like the reversed version of their archetype.

Oh lovely. So basically, just as I thought. Maybe they won't be bad as the one who kept trying to talk to me so badly that he gave me a migrane that nearly made me fall off a cliff.

And then tried to punch me out of existance.

[He really didn't get what Titan's deal was. And the Arcana sounded worse.]
How do we even know they are on our side?

[razorblade_empress]

...Was that one of the Arcana or somebody from your world?

[She could see some of the Arcana doing something like that, but...]

I think they're mostly on their own sides.
