Tarot memory share [Bugbear]

[guillotineroom]

The room you enter this time is an ostentatious fortune tellers tent. Colourful silks drape the walls with intricate golden constellations embroidered on the ceiling. Various crystals, candles, magic 8 balls, and other superstitious sundries are scattered throughout the tent.

In the centre of the room is a table with ten chairs around it, and three cards laid out for you:

MAGICIAN, HANGED MAN, TOWER

[ RULES | TURN-IN ]

But we want 'em to guess it, so that'd be good, right...?

Re: DISCUSSION

[rugpull]

[checking rules again]

Oh right we uh.

Wanna be perceived. Gross. So yeah, yer right. In that case, be all the Vicious you can be turbo murder destruction man.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stirtheblood]

Hm.

[Vicious picks up the Hanged Man card.]

I got a good one for this one.

[As Vicious chooses the memory, the scene is visible to everyone in the room.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[rugpull]

[that was a lot but]

...I hope there was no time t'heal all those shot people they can manage.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stirtheblood]

Eh, they might not manage if the whole place sunk into the ground, which is what those earthquakes might do. No big loss there, but everyone was a lot more worried about that part.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rugpull]

Why stuff sinking....

Re: DISCUSSION

[stirtheblood]

Apparently a few big magic trees are the only thing holdin' off terrible catastrophe from befallin' the world. One of 'em was bein' attacked.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rugpull]

The magic trees holdin' the world together just like....unguarded?

Wild.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stirtheblood]

Oh, nah, they had some kinda magic mist around 'em that meant they were invisible. Aegis lived his whole life in that town without knowin' there was one nearby. But it's Her Godness who set 'em up in the first place who's tryin' to destroy 'em.

[JEEZUS]


--well, look at you, helping your friend out. Good on you, man.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stirtheblood]

That's how you're gonna take that, huh? Figures.

Re: DISCUSSION

[truthliesinspace]

Well, you probably should have just punched them instead of shooting them all, I think. But you had your heart in the right place.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stirtheblood]

I'd have to punch 'em real hard to kill 'em.

Re: DISCUSSION

[truthliesinspace]

That's what I'm saying, jumping to murder wasn't the answer, even if you had a good reason. And it's got nothing to do with justice or revenge like that friend of yours said. . .it's because assholes like that don't learn shit once they're dead! So there's no point in killing them.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stirtheblood]

Assholes like that don't usually learn shit while they're alive, either.

Either way, I ain't exactly tryin' to walk 'em through lessons. I don't care what they learn or don't learn. The point is that they pissed me off, and I wanted to kill 'em.

Re: DISCUSSION

[uncursed_knowledge]

[....huh.]

What was that disturbance, at the end?

Re: DISCUSSION

[stirtheblood]

I was tellin' ya about Kasque destroyin' the Great Trees, right? She had her lackeys attackin' one of 'em close by.

Re: DISCUSSION

[uncursed_knowledge]

[nods. that tracks.]

Regardless, you seem to have gotten your point across just in time.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stirtheblood]

Eh? My point?

Re: DISCUSSION

[uncursed_knowledge]

Your friend found his conviction again, and the others received your displeasure.

Re: DISCUSSION

[beeknighted]

[hmmm yeah this is in line with my worldview]

So that's how you martyr yourself.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stirtheblood]

Eh? Martyr?

[that word is not in his vocabulary]

Re: DISCUSSION

[beeknighted]

You picked this memory for the Hanged Man, didn't you?

[Kit has gone to the library to get books, checking one of the pages]

It says here that the Hanged Man represents 'ultimate surrender, of being suspended in time and of martyrdom and sacrifice to the greater good'.

Did you not mean for that to be a martyrdom memory?

Re: DISCUSSION

[stirtheblood]

I just figured Aegis's parents bein' tied up and run outta town to be executed would be a pretty obvious Hanged Man thing.

Re: DISCUSSION

[beeknighted]

If you're taking it literally as opposed to the actual superstition, sure. That's a fine tactic too.
