coming clean (starplot)

[reallymean]

I'm sure some of you have already discovered the reason for Liminal Space's current shape, but for those who haven't, Star is one of the living Arcana once more. Their restoration wasn't my work alone, but it was my idea to make the attempt, and my plan that we followed. The resurrection, and any consequences it might have on the Jaunt or Jaunts to follow is my responsibility. Not my team's, not the result of some plot by the Arcana or any outside forces. Mine.

Before anyone asks, I don't have any intention of resurrecting the rest of the fallen Arcana. I don't think it could even be done the same way a second time. With one exception, we don't know enough about how and where they died - and I suspect even making the attempt would be so against the idiom of that exception as to guarantee failure.

It's a kind of explosive.

I see.

[At least she knows what those are now.]

Re: private x2 protected

[thornsofmalkav]

Yeah. I dunno. Maybe it's not the best analogy. I wasn't trying to figure out how to make pretty yellow dye, I was trying to figure out more about how the Arcana tick. But it still pissed me off that one of the people I bounced off thoughts with took me thoughts and weaponized them.

Like, if you can't babble about your scientific theories at the dinner table, when can you?

You were trying to do something that you didn't intend to weaponize, and then he proceeded to do so.

[Cassandra can understand that, even if she doesn't precisely understand how yellow dye leads to explosives.]

[thornsofmalkav]

Yep.

Joke's on him. I took what I learned from Tower's murder and helped revive Star with it. And it's the best goddamn feeling to fix the thing you helped break. Well. More or less.

Re: private x2 protected

[fearinahandfulof]

Yes.

[She can't really think of any direct examples in her own life, but she can imagine it.]

So what happens now?

Re: private x2 protected

[thornsofmalkav]

I dunno. I think the Arcana are done being pissed off at us now, though. Just a hunch.

Re: private x2 protected

[fearinahandfulof]

That... does seem likely.

[Though Thorne knows more than she does, and possibly more than she's telling Cassandra.]
