Immediately after the Jaunt
[Waking in a coffin, even one made of so flimsy a material as those dotting Liminal Space, had been disturbing enough. But the eyes. By all the gods and their assorted demons, the fucking eyes.
Those eyes raise a very important question.]
Did we somehow manage to fail that Jaunt in spite of our delightful hosts having a golden fucking opportunity to suck that world dry of everything they might have wanted, or has one of them simply decided to take cues on decor from horrors best left unconsidered?
[No, really, why is Liminal Space a fucking nightmare of eyeballs, and whose fault is it?]

[So would she be, if she thought there was a genuine chance at restoring those she's loved and lost to life - but she's hardly about to admit anything even approaching sympathy for their captors.]
no subject

[He takes another sip of his drink.]
I suppose it's good to be forewarned that they did something - if Magician had had her way, we would likely have ended up doing their work for them again, with no one the wiser until it was too late.

It might actually have been more demoralizing for at least some of the Champions to find out that they'd been aiding the Arcana all along - although I think at least some of that is a problem inherent to Questing Country - but it almost certainly would have been less physically destructive.
She actually complained to Reiko about the cabochon, incidentally; she was rather indignant about it.

[Sabetha drums her fingers absently on the side of her glass.]
What were her objections? The trouble it caused, or that it was so absurdly direct an approach?
no subject
She thought her approach would have been easier and held less risk of whatever happened the last time they let "Penuel" run a heist.
no subject
[She pauses a moment, considering.]
...Melasurei, perhaps?
no subject
[Which is not familiar at all, oh no.]
She didn't say, but if it was this round, that seems like a strong possibility.
[He'd consider asking outright, but he's not sure Magician would tell him. His own Arcanum certainly wouldn't.]
no subject
[Or perhaps just harder, though she's never been one to draw much of a distinction between the two.]
We're unlikely to find out for certain, unless one of the ones who lack any concept of subtlety decides to get chatty.
no subject
[He could see some of them breaking, too.]
She did at least try to ask more about Penuel, but Magician ignored the question.
no subject
[Reasons why ROSE is not the absolute worst.
Still pretty awful, though.]
no subject
...Although at the time, she seemed more interested in getting Reiko to agree that her approach would have been better.

Fucking Grid.]
