Ambit thoughts [Late in the intro liminal]
Hey, so, uh. I was here like a year ago or something. Some of you might remember me, name's Neeshka, with the horns and the tail and black gryphon. He's back, too, by the way, and kind of hard to miss.
But I wasn't in a dungeon or anything, I just kind of... went off and did my own thing. I was kind of thinking about that, because of something the Fool said when I got back, and something Thorne said a few days ago, and, uh. I kind of wanted to toss it out there for other people to gnaw on because I'm out of thoughts to think about it.
So I was 'out of ambit', right? That's what the Fool called it. But he said that maybe it was all in my head. Like the word he used was "yes" when I asked him if it was real or if it was in my head. So he was saying, I think, that it was both somehow? Only I have stuff in my hammerspace from the places I'd been, and Monkey is definitely bigger than he was when I left. And Thorne and I were talking about, you know, liminal goo and how we're kind of like little Trumps because making liminal rooms is like making a liminal space only in miniature, and I know that fits in somehow, but I don't think I can figure out how it fits.
So I'm tossing that out there. And you guys can maybe figure out how it fits, if it does.
Oh, and don't ask me to talk about where I was when I was gone. I kind of don't remember most of it.

Though the way you phrase it makes this sound Youkai shaped. Which isn't far off, mind you.

A few of us have been kidnapped by the Fair Folk in the past. And right now I'm sure as hell not seeing any difference between them and the Arcana.
no subject
A longwinded way to say that you're probably right, and the comparison to Fair Folk is useful.

Hell. The fact that I can hold iron, and most other people here can handle iron, is proof positive that most of us aren't faerie-touched or Changelings.

And you can't know that they didn't replace your sword with a full-sensory illusion of an iron sword in the first place before you came to here.
no subject
So screw that, I'm assuming a situation where I haven't already lost and have some ability to influence events in my favor.
And I do, in fact, know the difference between a cold hand forged wrought iron nail and a dollar store steel knife.

[This is clearly the most useful contribution to this discussion and will totally win it for her.
But Jules's attitude towards all of this is kind of infectious and she also can't really imagine being completely wrong. And if she's only partially wrong, she has to imagine as powerful as the Fae teaming up with, say, the gears-corporate...
It circles back to what Jules said, and she doesn't want to go down that road.
So Kitty is out of this and will both physically walk away from where she just stood and also not answer to anyone talking to her on the network any more for a few hours.]

It's just unpleasant 'cos our magic can't defend against it. But anything more than like, two percent carbon is worthless as cold iron.

TL;DR for the network is that you work differently than Changelings from home. The Arcana work differently from youkai and the fae from home. Assuming a 1-1 correspondence is dangerous even if the comparison is apt.
