synopsychic | (no subject)

I'm looking to expand on the resources we have available - well, more establish one and expand on the other.

The new one first: Allura-san brought up how often we've been to space, and I had the beginnings of a list trying to narrow down possible connections between jaunt worlds. I know some of the conntections are obvious - space and Questing Country, Bando and the mermaids - but if anyone's thought much about which Earths might be the same or different, that would help some too.

As for the older resource, it occurs to me that with Fortune back in play, my attempt at information on the Arcana needs updating. Does anyone have any insight into what she's up to? There's a few other holes I never managed to fill in, mostly whether Hierophant had an alias and what a few of them have in mind to do if they win, but Fortune is the biggest question mark at the moment.

Once I've got things updated I'll leave copies in the library, and on the intranet if I can get a hold of a computer for a while. The Arcana list is already on the network, and the other one will be joining it.

For what it's worth, Fortune has said that she hadn't made any firm plans for starting a new round of Synodiporia until Temperance died. That forced her hand. She also said that they couldn't be brought back without the World, and that she didn't know if the method used to bring her back would even work in Temperance's case even if they could repeat it - and she wasn't sure if that was possible, either - because Temperance died outside of the bounds of the current game, and given what killed them, breaking the bounds of the game would be very unsafe.

So at the very least, one of her goals is probably to bring Temperance back, and presumably any others who are still dead by then as well.

Considering the trouble we've had with Harrogate, I can see where they'd consider that too big of a risk to take.

Exactly.

She did say during the Liminal Salon that she didn't think they were actively trying to disrupt Synodiporia at the moment, but she also very clearly didn't want to tempt fate in that regard.

[There's a short pause.]

So to speak.

She was there? I missed that.

She made an appearance midway through. I think it was mostly for practice.

I see. [What in the world would she need to practice?]

[Physicality and/or static spaces?]

That and catching up.

That makes sense. After all, she missed most of what we've gotten up to, as a group.

Yes.

She didn't exactly announce her presence while she was there, but she didn't seem terribly upset at being found out, either.

I can't say I blame her, all things considered.

[Enough of the Travelers are upset with their hosts in general that announcing her presence might have gone... poorly.]

Honestly, me neither.

[Not that he doesn't think she could have extricated herself from the salon easily even if things had gone poorly, but avoiding conflict in the first place would be preferable for most people either way. And those people for whom conflict would be more preferable probably would have been a lot less subtle about cluing people in.]
