synopsychic | Check-In [Week 1]

Do we need to list our archetypes and roles this time, or...?

[She knows how check-ins work - she's certainly been here more than long enough for that - but the last Questing Country check-in asked people about archetypes and roles, so...]

That might be helpful? If you know them... I just don't know mine.

... I'm myself. I still have Memory as an archetype, but I believe I've shifted to some variety of Oracle.

Alice has come along, and she's some form of Doppleganger, given how she looks like me and doesn't look happy about it.

Doppelganger.

Okay, I missed that memo, please explain doppelgangers.

This is Anafiel Delaunay. I remain wholly myself and am still the Oracle of Oaths.

I have not been able to locate Alcuin as of yet, but I can confirm that I saw an elven version of Thorne among that band of white and silver clad dreamers, dressed all alike. I did not get a chance to talk to her.

Thorne's with the creepy cult-looking people, got it.

[He's only mostly joking.]

Alcuin's probably somewhere close by unless their relationship got real messed up by infiltrating.

... Also can you help me figure out what the fuck I am?

I am myself, as far as I am aware.

I do not yet know my role, as I have not been in this place before and it is an unknown to me.

That's good. I'm sure we can figure it out, though?

I'm the Champion of Witches again! I even have a broom to ride, kihihihihi! And Sakutaro's my spirit companion again! He was the first Questing Country too!

Flying is the only way to travel, kid.

You need someone to practice hexing, I'm your girl. Apparently I've got so much magic debt that anything you throw at me will just be deducted from my tab with no harm done.

You're cute, kid.

Bismuth here! First time in this place, hah, looks like I might've changed species too. Still a big rock, funnily enough, but I've got some real glossy armour. Can't really say much more than that!

It sounds like you're a Hecatite. Which may be a problem if you try to take a hit like you normally would - they're surprisingly fragile.

Liberation, huh... oh right, I thought I heard something after the fact about a rebellion.

This is Naoki. I'm still the Oracle of Growth.

And very much wondering what's up with this Conductor business. This is new.

'Conductor' like music, or like copper wire?

Somebody get Phillip K. Dick on the Seance Phone and tell him the answer is 'yes.'

Anyway. This is Claudia. I'm ride-sharing with a Synthetic. Who is... apparently the Champion of Sheep. [siiiiiiiiiiiiigh.] Alexandra doesn't get the joke, but I do.

[Sorry, Claudia, but Casper is just laughing super hard for a minute.]

Is that bad? If you run into the old you, are you guys going to combust or something?

It's happened before. We don't always infiltrate as the same people twice.

I don't think anything strange has happened. They're real people; we're just not riding along with them this time.

Seta Souji, Oracle of Truth.

I have a Gorgon form, so I'm going to try going undercover.

Obviously, I won't be lying about anything.

You should absolutely and with all sincerity take lessons from Beato on that. She has told extremely impressive whoppers with selective application of the truth, it's kind of her thing.

Thace here.

I'm now the Oracle of Choice, rather than Adversary. It's different, but comfortable. The events happening out there now all seem to be revolving around the Adversary who called Travelers here, the leader of the group with the new roles and... something else. I can't identify it, but whatever or whoever it is is very important.

[Thace pauses.]

How the choice is made concerning the Adversary is more important than what that choice is at the moment. I'm going to look into that further if I can.

My own Oracular knowledge had something to say on the subject of Gil's Infiltration as well. To whit: 'twould be a terrible mistake to force association with him and any oaths whatsoever at this juncture. I do not know what should happen if he is confined or imprisoned, but to Sanction him or parole him leads to unfortunate outcomes.

... also there is an undercurrent of Oath-related activity running through these events, but the details are obscured to me and at the moment, they are not central to the events at hand.

[After some time, Cassandra speaks up again.]

I tried to look for omens and portents now that we're here, but with Questing Country and Liminal Space joined, I'm not getting much from either. The Conductors' uniformity is a symbol of their togetherness and harmony - which is obvious - but the Bidents they wield are an omen of the underworld and capture. Their meaning here feels more related to music somehow, though.

I also sensed that there are three Hunts going on under the surface. One is the Arcana's hunt for the World.

The other two are harder for me to perceive; there's a hidden agenda, and people moving where they can't be seen. I can't make out more than that, though. I'm sorry.

... What kind of underworld?

[His voice is unusually serious.]

Yukino here. Still myself, still the Oracle of Perspective, but now I'm a Hecatite.

Tried to do some perspective-reading a little while ago. Our new Conductor friends have a few points of interest. One, they literally do not experience fear, sadness, or doubt. They are still individuals, but it's like they're all a bunch of melodies that used to play in all different keys that now play in E Major. Which, incidentally, is the only reason I know what E Major sounds like now. Switching my senses around to check out their gear mostly just confirmed that they're all in the same key.

Spirit Companion perspectives are always kind of malleabla and fluctuate a lot, and they tend to be interconnected. That's still true, but they're shocked by the Tesserae for some reason. Incidentally, those Tesserae read like Conductors, not Spirit Companions.

Also, with regard to our friend Grant, his perspective is notable in that he has almost no trust but a huge amount of hope. Make of that what you will.

Well, looks like we're rocks together this time!

[And she sounds delighted by the fact, even if she continues a bit more soberly.]

I'm not sure I'm a big fan of everyone singing along to the same exact tune, though. There's harmony and there's an echo chamber, and I've seen what the second one's like on too large a scale.

Hey, guys. Matt and I are both ourselves - not sure what Matt's role is, but it looks like I'm still the Oracle of Resilience.

I'm not entirely certain what to do with Oracle... ness... but if people can think of something I should be looking into, let me know. It's kind of nice to be back. A bit of confusion going on... Anybody know what's going on with the Conductors?

I don't know what's going on with them, but I'm checking it out.

[Private]

But Shiro, why the fuck am I an Oracle?

Hi! Uh, this is Neeshka. I was here before, like, twice. Not Questing Country! I mean Traveling. Well, Questing Country too, I guess.

But anyway, I'm back! I have super missed you guys.

I'm the Adversary of Coins, and I've got Monkey as my spirit thingy I guess. He's been that before, but he's not going to pretend to be me this time, right Monkey?

I dunno, Ranma always had fun dressing up as someone's nonexistent girlfriend. Who'd be able to pass that up?

Especially if it came with thumbs.

Guess that's less relevant for a back monkey.

Kanji here. Still Adversary of Signals.

...If ya hear anything about the Starmovers who were here or the Harbingers, lemme know? I, uh. Kinda wanna know they're doing okay.

[A little bit later...]

Gil's overlay seems to think that the Conductors are the Starmovers in people suits. Any way you can check on that? I don't know if he'll believe what I tell him, but it's worth a try.

I probably should check in. I'm myself, Adversary of Memory, I think. Incidentally, if you see me walking around in an ugly jacket, it's not me and I apologize in advance.

I'm trying not to get involved still, but the Conductors said some stuff to me and I can't keep it to myself.

Uh, first of all if you bring up Harbingers or Starmovers in front of them you might wind up with a fight on your hands, just FYI.

They told me the reason they're so keen to hold on to the Bident thief is that he threatened to... maybe not personally destroy all Conductors, but to see them destroyed. Their leader compared him to a group of conspiracy theorists from my world who come to those ideas out of a particular, uh, racial animus. She walked it back when I pressed her on it - anger does seem to be the one negative emotion these guys get to have - but if he hurts someone and I didn't say anything...

[Naoya just starts laughing.]

Someone got my old role! Fascinating! I suppose that makes me your guide of sorts, should you choose to take advantage of it. I knew a lot about memory even before here, so don’t hesitate to ask.

Nabiki Tendo here, as myself for the first time on the last time.

I seem to have no magic at all - I think I'm actually a magic sink, with the way that monsters and brooch-dispensing cabbits actively avoid me. That would be your Pillars, right? How the hell do you figure out Pillar Aspects, and does it matter?

Anyway, there's a self-IDing rock Oracle named Titan asking for Pillars to do a thing, so I asked what he needs. I'll keep you all posted.

Fuck if I know how you find out. [He'd be more miffed by the lack of cute animal buddy if he didn't have Koromaru, really.]

Madoka Mawaru checking in. My fuku comes with a free hoverchair and a black hakama with a fractal mon, so that's... something. I'm pretty sure that I'm a Champion; my Companion is some kind of geometric model of a phoenix.

Also, I just ran into the Cool Kids Club, and are we SURE they aren't Eldritch?!

There's some differentiation between them, but they smell like people who prayed to Shuizn to alter their character sheets, and had the prayer granted. You DID notice Leah's crew are pretty much literally a Paladin, a Wizard, a Barbarian, a Cleric and... not sure what the Vodyanoi is. A warlock, maybe?

And Leah herself has demonstrated multiclassing or switching classes, but she's Roles so that tracks.

Shuizn, for the record, is a being my world considers on par in power and hostility to Nyarthalhotep.

ETA:

Okay, those Bidents having cthonic magic as per Cassandra - don't panic, it means "of the earth" or "of the underworld," not "relating to Case Nightmare Green" - throws my entire theory out the window. The Tale with A Sad Ending isn't connected enough to reality to also have cthonic powers.

It's still creepy, but it's definitely just regular creepy, not Eldritch.

Edited (IC edit) 2020-09-03 04:27 (UTC)

I've always got entropic energy tracked, I'm on top of it.

I didn't really talk to the others enough to grab character classes from it, but from the clothing you're not totally wrong.

Hope I'm not too late to the party to join the dance.

[There's a brief feeling of panic as Casper has to take a second to collect himself. Is that really - shit, he sounds better than on the show.]

[... Okay. He's okay.]

Uh... not at all, no. We're just getting started.

I think they spend most of their time chasing their Dopplegangers, anyway.
