They said nothing about not sharing this info, so... [Post-Ball]

Hey, while we're all here and all ourselves?

My... Patron God? Ruling Arcanum? Not sure what the right word here is... gave me a list of what all of the Arcana are like, according to them.

Penuel is a they, by the way. Definitely not a "she." I asked.

Anyway, I'm going to text you the document verbatim before properly archiving it in the Leonardo Memorial Library or whatever.

How accurate is this according to your own perceptions? They seem to have a particular hate-on for ROSE, because to hear them tell it she flagrantly cheats at everything for the lulz - but Judgement strikes me as super duper Lawful - try not to be shocked - while the stunt ROSE pulled for the Vale makes me inclined to think she's not Evil, just Chaotic.

...people have played D&D here, right? Or do I need to unpack that?

PS: If I ever meet the Priestess I'm calling her Io. It's probably a new name for her and I think she'd be delighted.

Hermit did leave. Lovers and Devil went after him, and set a virus on the world he'd left for - a place we call the Grid - that infected many of the people he'd altered while he was there. Hermit was also infected, and then locked away in an isolated corner of the Grid for good measure. Cephas died as a result of all of this, although the exact timing changed after Fortune's revival.

Magician's rescue was later.

Did they.

[She lived for three months in a computer simulation and saw what glitches and viruses looked like from the inside. There is nothing but anger radiating from Deedee's side of the link.]

It's a damn good thing neither of them can win the round.

Many of the Cryptos - the name for Hermit's altered companions - were killed outright by the virus; during Magician's rescue, it also began altering the thinking of its infectees, of any faction. In theory, Hermit could have been similarly altered had he remained in that body long enough for the virus to properly take hold; what effect that would have ultimately had on his essence is... harder to say.
