The irony of this is astounding

Excuse me... ah, I believe I am using this properly?

My name is Hiroshi Yamane. I thought it prudent to inform the rest of the Travellers that a young man - a Prince, I believe - has been attempting to recruit young men and women to serve as priests and priestesses under the idea that the Goddess Hebe will be able to help resolve this incident. I myself have my doubts, but at the same time I feel that if I allow myself to be recruited, I may be able to better understand what else may be going on beyond what we know of the Titans and the Gods themselves. That said, I admit I am still very new to this, ah, "investigating" process, and if anybody should desire that I look into anything in particular as I work towards this endeavor, I am more than willing to listen to suggestions.

Thank you for your time.

...A cupbearer, born of Hera, with a perview of youth.

A CUPBEARER. For the Gods. who have been afflicted with some unknown malady. And has a grudge against Zeus.

(And you get this across the channel for a good thirty seconds.)

Oh, that's MARVELOUS! Tell me, how many lotus petals does it take to get into the storm-wracked center of an ending world!? Ahahahahaha!

[She'll wait for her to finish]

There's something almost poetic about poisoned ambrosia.

If they have survived, and if this world survives, I suspect the muses will be very busy chronicling that tale.

And at this point I am certain we can ensure this world will survive.

Shifts in pantheons aren't pleasant, but I suspect the world can survive. In the end, gods need mortals more than the other way around.

But we can try to minimize the fallout.

Our duty, given the respective idioms at work here, is increasingly likely to be to prevent humanity's ruin and help ensure it's increasing control over their own affairs.

If the Titans are indeed trying to elect mortals to become gods, our task then becomes ensuring the new pantheon is properly vetted and endorsed, and that they choose to take on the divine mantle of their own will.

That sounds like the version where we do the least harm to the people here. Even setting aside the damn game.

[No she doesn't approve of the arcana in general]

Infiltrators, being the general idea. So we don't leave a whole new power vacuum.

Like it or not, the damn games may also be a way of mitigating harm. And if we must throw in with an Arcana, I think we would much prefer one whose victory condition is "mitigate harm."

But you understand my meaning. Yes, Infiltrators rather than Investigators. I can hardly consent on Thalia's behalf.

Those like Kanji who are in some ways both is an... interesting edge case.
