synopsychic | Just after liminal space changes

Did some idiot go and hand them the means by which to time travel again?

Maybe? We don't know.

...There weren't any secret time travel machines someone forgot to mention in the last jaunt, were there?

Gods, I hope not.

We're nearing the end of the road. It's possible this is just some morbid fucking shrine along the way.

No, I don't think it's that. Her deadspace is...already very much a shrine. This does not have the feel of a monument to the dead.

I thought this was just, like, a regular shift, liminal space deciding it wants to try something else on. What do you mean, deadspace? Deadspace does not sound encouraging.

Ah, sorry. Not deadspace as in the space is going to try and kill us or anything. Just that the Arcana's spaces, the ones were they bring us to speak with them, those remain even after they die. Star is gone, but her space still exists.

Liminal is not exactly the same. But the similarities are striking. We find it unlikely to be coincidence.

Yeah, being in the headstone to an Arcana is only slightly more encouraging than being in Super Death Zone.

Star's Hope, right? Hoshiko?

Yes. She died after the first visit to Belljar. Before my time, but some of the old guard around here were there for it.

From what I know of it, it did not go well. There's a reason she died then.

[It's a tragically short time after Matthew makes this post that Kinji hops on and sounds... distressed.]

So y'all askin' that made Yakumo try askin' his Arcana, an'... well, that didn't quite work out how we were hopin' it might?

Justice done went an' possessed Yakumo an' now he's out cold.

I...

What?!

We sure as hell didn't know that was possible! She said she would a' killed him if she done stayed any longer!

Why was she possessing him in the first place?!

...Scratch that, since when can the Arcana possess people?

[Now here's a rare sound. Casper actually sounds mad.]

How the - never mind. Don't. Move. Anywhere.

Edited 2020-03-07 08:10 (UTC)

Wasn't plannin' on it, partner.

[see you irl shortly]

[Cassandra is hesitant to weigh in, but...]

It... feels like Star, too. It's saturated, like the Liminal after the Mars Jaunt that brought Fortune back was saturated with her... essence? I'm not sure if that's the correct word.

How do you know that it feels like Star?

I've... been reading. About her idiom. And when I look for omens and portents and things in this Liminal with Achaian fortune-telling, I get her idiom, or the things that are part of it. Peace and calmness and hope. It's very strong.

...Achaian fortune-telling works in liminal space?

Last time they meddled with the nature of causality the effects were noticeable before they could try.

Yes, which is why all of this is really confusing. I'd have thought there'd be something we would have noticed, if they were up to something like that again.

That last world doesn't seem like it would have given them any means to pull a stunt like that.

No.

Only thing with enough power for the Arcana to fuck with was the Hellstone, and we disappeared that. Also we very much doubt the Hellstone could do this kind of thing.

We did get the computer running in the tower, but I think if it were capable of time travel one of those rich assholes with the Protectorate would already have done it.

Time travel is the last thing we'd expect from that world. They'd probably be less fucked if they had that.

Or fucked in a different way, at least.
