About a day into Hockey Crimes Liminal

Okay, so, uh.

[He sighs.] Let's address the elephant in the room real quick.

Tower's fucking dead. Like, apparently for-reals dead. Which, having had a chat with Magician a little while back, I think that exactly how big of a fucking deal this is cannot be stressed enough. And apparently Travellers did it, and the other Arcana know that.

Which, from what I've heard about that, means we're really fucking lucky not to have Judgement coming down on us all like a one-ton sack of feathers and outrage. They - like, the Arcana in general, not just Judgy - sound like they're only planning on punishing whoever actually did it. But worst case scenario, like-- Moebius Junior or something? Might still happen if people don't come forward or get caught or what the fuck ever.

I'm not down, personally, for selling people out - and seriously I don't have a fucking clue who was this shit-headed - but. Guys. For fuck's sake.

At least half of the remaining Arcana need to agree for another Moebius to happen. I wouldn't be surprised if the number was against us.

Someone killed their brother. [Yeah, she’s latching onto that word Magician used.] I would hardly blame them.

I’m not going back because of someone else’s sin.

You will not. We will not.

And in any case, that place is destroyed; those who orchestrated it and profitted from it slain. There is no going back.

Just so you people know, the Arcana don't know who did it, either. Only that one of them died too-- and they don't know who that was, either, for some reason.

They grabbed a few of us to tell us to ask around and find out. Haven't decided yet if I'm playing along.

Edited 2018-12-27 16:32 (UTC)

So what's keeping you from that decision?

Lots of things. What the punishment looks to be. Who did it. How they did it. My mood when the Arcana bring us back into their little extra space. Their mood when they bring us into their little extra space.

So yeah. Lots of things.

[Jules is of two minds about this. On one hand, he is relieved that the Arcana can actually die. On the other, he's terrified of actual vengeance, this sounds like a Summer operation gone south, and he wants no part of it.

So there is screaming.]

Ja, this time, I'm just going to second that.

Wunderbar.

Who, exactly, is Moebius Junior?

It's not a who, it's a where.

[It must be strange, hearing Bismuth's usual cheer brought down to something so serious.]

Moebius was a jaunt we had years ago - it was punishment for us for refusing to play by the Arcana's rules. People got killed dozens of times over the course of it, until we destroyed it from the inside out.

Oh. Well. That's shit. And that was just for not playing along?

So, whatever they do next, that would probably be... worse.

Not that I am complaining. But, who among them decided to punish only the guilty?

In the past, that has not been their way.

They can’t even agree on what to do.

There are factions. We have always suspected it.

Judgement, at least, was saying how she wanted to punish those who are involved accordingly and the rest of us would have achieved catharsis through redemption.

Strange, is it not, how the personification of Judgement understands redemption so little.

I expect it's less a matter of morality than one of necessity. If they are tied to their archetypes as tightly as they claim to be, punishing all for an act committed by only a few and kept secret from the rest would weaken or damage their aspect of Justice at the very least.

do you want to turn this into an action thread or take it to thorne's top-level? either way I'm good

thornsofmalkav - 2019-01-02 00:51 (UTC) - Expand

I can't see this ending well.

[But to be fair]

But I'm almost surprised it didn't happen sooner.

I was ready to try it on day one, but everyone suggested it wasn't really possible.

So, how do you pull off something like this?

I was not here when Moebius took place.

But should they decide to send us again, I volunteer myself as the guilty party. I will see no one else suffer for the whims of those who call themselves gods. If they wish a war they shall have one, but they shall not bring it to anyone other than myself.

That is absolutely not an option.

How in the stars does that solve anything? They're not gonna stop just because you put your gem on their anvil, especially when you're doing it to willingly protect the people that actually did it. You'll just get destroyed for nothing, and that's if they don't punish you again later for lying to them.

[Lotor this is stupid.]

God-killers. Wonderful. I thought we left such stupidity back on Eos. Let us desperately hope it does not throw this place into discord and chaos and destroy us all. Or, as you suggest--it takes only one god's anger to destroy us all.

[1000% biting sarcasm there.]
