Check-In [Week 1]

All right, you know the deal. If you're yourself, psychically raise your hand.

Or, uh, if that doesn't make sense to you, just... let people know you're you. I'm myself, obviously, but I have no idea what the hell my archetype or role is. I was infiltrating last time as Ace -

- shit, I need to avoid him. Anyway! Yeah. Uh. ... Yeah...

Yeah. Leah's crew are absolutely all fantasy game themed - Allura the Paladin (no relation), Pez the Wizard, Ace the Barbarian, Meg the Cleric, and... Leah and Khora the odd ones out, Leah because she's Role-aspected and can shift party Roles, and Khora because I don't recognize hers.

This, of course, does not mean all Conductors are.

We need a larger sample size.



Also she up and told me all of this when asked. At least she had the good sense to say "yeah you probably don't want to be a Conductor" when she looked at me, like that was hard to tell.

...I don't know what any of that means.

[Still.]

Does that mean she can read people enough to tell who would work as one and who wouldn't?

I can show you the books I'm referencing in my room back on Yon Liminal Isles. It's pretty transparent.

She's Role-aspected and has a power she calls "Role Call." She can tell just by looking at someone through her Cool Kids Club Decoder Ring or whatever what Role someone has in the Dream, and also claims to be able to see in what direction someone is going.

Champion for Life, according to her, by the way. Guess Chariot is good at betting on horses too.

What gets me is that she very, very quickly tried to stop me from joining the Conductors, as if that would be hard.

Which doesn't jive with what the others are saying, unless she's one of the only ones that's not down with rolling up all of the Dreamers in a Conductor katamari.

Oh. All right.

[She thinks?]

So part of it is her archetype, but... If she's trying to keep people who are unsuitable out, then how is she defining "unsuitable"?
eldritchwheelies: (that was an effin terribible pun)

[personal profile] eldritchwheelies 2020-09-03 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
What do you get when you mix a rhino with an elephant?

Ellifino.

But she's showing unusual caution and tact for a Conductor, given the guys who I had to tell to eff off.

...I don't know what that means, either.

[Humor is not Cassandra's forte, and internet humor is even less so.]

That's... odd.
eldritchwheelies: (like a fox)

Hell If I Know. It was a bit. A gag. A shitty pun, if you will.


...there's one other thing that bugs me, but I'm trying to put my finger on it. Something about their clothing.
fearinahandfulof: (What)

[personal profile] fearinahandfulof 2020-09-03 12:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Their... clothing?

[Cassandra had mostly found it oddly reminiscent of her old uniform - designed more to make them noticeable and identifiable than to protect them.]
eldritchwheelies: All icons that are not of Madoka herself are of Ayase Shinomiya, her original PB (you gonna do okay?)

[personal profile] eldritchwheelies 2020-09-03 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Why silver? Why gemstones?


...and why is Ace the only one of them with an ill-fitting bit of clothing?
fearinahandfulof: (Missed)

[personal profile] fearinahandfulof 2020-09-03 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
That is odd. Especially for a uniform.

[And then there is a long pause, enough to suggest that Cassandra has dropped the conversation for some reason. Then:]

"A ruler whose crown does not fit is unfit to rule."

Oh that's interesting. Oracle magic?

Achaian fortune-telling.

Ah, that's all Greek to me.

[If her memes enter the Conductor Network, all is lost, clearly.]

It's something to go on. Unfit to rule - unfit to lead.

And small-c conductors lead an orchestra.

Do you think maybe she's... not one? Or the process that makes one a Conductor didn't work correctly?

[Failed warriors were an occasional result of the Organization's conversion surgery... though the Organization usually had them killed instead of keeping them around.]
eldritchwheelies: (sweet)

[personal profile] eldritchwheelies 2020-09-04 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
...you're on to something.

Because Leah went out of her way to tell me I would make a lousy Conductor.

That's in spitting distance of the truth, it has to be.
fearinahandfulof: (Missed)

[personal profile] fearinahandfulof 2020-09-04 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
And she's the one who determines who does or doesn't become a Conductor.

I wonder when she chose to make Ace one.
