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 ]

Re: GUESSING TIME

Is that what those are s'posed to be about...? I'd've picked somethin' with stars out and someone bein' an idiot, myself, but it does work out that way.

Re: GUESSING TIME

[nods]

There's a lot of accumulated symbolism. Apparently, at least; it's not a method my world uses.

Re: GUESSING TIME

[stirtheblood]

I wouldn't really know even if mine did.

For the rest of 'em... The one in the third one 'bout bein' dead and becomin' a monster has gotta be Devil, right? Since we covered Death already. That'd make that one the pink team... I only kinda know a couple guys there, but it could be one of 'em.

Re: GUESSING TIME

[uncursed_knowledge]

That seems right to me. For the others...Priestess for the third seems obvious, which leaves Temperance for the second.

Re: GUESSING TIME

[stirtheblood]

Yep!

Hmmm... The fifth one could be Phoenix? With the real bright light bein' the sun? Man, am I actually great at this??

Re: GUESSING TIME

[uncursed_knowledge]

I haven't thought you were wrong yet, so perhaps so. Strength would fit the first, and the Hierophant the third.

Re: GUESSING TIME

[stirtheblood]

For the sixth, there's one with the Hall of Justice, which prob'ly means it's Justice. So, Kraken? I don't recognize any of 'em, though...

Re: GUESSING TIME

[uncursed_knowledge]

The second entry would fit the Hermit, if that's true. Which would make the last...the Wheel of Fortune? It does have an element of that...

Re: GUESSING TIME

[stirtheblood]

They're talkin' about his luck or whatever... That's fortune, right?

Re: GUESSING TIME

[uncursed_knowledge]

You're right. Both sides, the rise and fall. It matches well.

Re: GUESSING TIME

[stirtheblood]

Somethin' like that.

Who've we got left...?

Re: GUESSING TIME

[uncursed_knowledge]

The first and the ninth. Nymph and Yatagaratsu.

Re: GUESSING TIME

[stirtheblood]

Which teams are those again?

Re: GUESSING TIME

[uncursed_knowledge]

Green and purple.

Re: GUESSING TIME

[stirtheblood]

Green... I dunno if I know anyone there. Purple's the one Emmet's on, right? Wasn't one of 'em talkin' about a twin? I don't really think they'd be negotiatin' treaties for opposin' empires, though...

—Ah! Ain't that one guy on that team?? He sounded like that, and he was big on government and establishin' a justice system or whatever!

Re: GUESSING TIME

[uncursed_knowledge]

Whoever you're talking about, I don't think I've met him. But if we take that as an assumption...the first one fits Faith, it's all about a myth. The second one is clearly Hope. The third...a new perspective, a new way of looking at things, would fit Aeon.

Re: GUESSING TIME

[stirtheblood]

I dunno what an Aeon is, but that sounds like it works. And that'd make the last one the green team, right?

Re: GUESSING TIME

[uncursed_knowledge]

It's the only one left. The last one would certainly fit Hunger; the first two, I could see either way, but I'm inclined to say that the second one fits World's "new beginning" better.

Re: GUESSING TIME

[stirtheblood]

Yeah, I dunno about those ones. Wouldn't've made more sense to just pick a memory about eatin' a sandwich or somethin' for Hunger? It'd've been clearer.

Re: GUESSING TIME

[uncursed_knowledge]

The symbolism of Hunger implies being corrupted by power, and losing oneself to it. In that sense, it fits.
