So uh... anyone know what I should do with this?

[ Attached to the post is the picture of a clearly steaming corndog held by a gloved hand. In the background, one can make out what looks like a dead Ed Shereen body that's been rifled through.

[ It was a cry for help tbh. ]

God... I hate to be that person but like, what if the fuckers that brought us here are just like, laughing at us???

[cresture]

[THIS MENTAL IMAGE??? Marianne is now experiencing (1) Fear]

I... That can't be.

[marianne offers, lamely......]

...They've been so overwhelmed. I can't imagine they have the time to laugh, much less pull a prank like this.

[primordialerebus]

[ Welcome Marianne. ]

I mean they're gods apparently. So like... who knows lmao ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[cresture]

[wait WHAT!!! that part shocks Marianne so thoroughly that she can't even react to the cute emoji.]

Are they really? They've said that?

[look they don't have tarot decks back home... emperor?? high priestess?? those are just ranks, right]

[primordialerebus]

I mean... isn't this the birthplace of gods or whatever? And they fit the whole... tarot god thing.

[cresture]

[oh boy oh geezus forget the corn dog incident this??? blows her mind?? Now she feels even worse for trespassing into the Gods Wood.]

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with tarot gods... So it's not that I don't believe you. [are there books about tarot gods?? marianne needs to put in some study time...]

I just had no idea. I've only seen the Priestess once, and the goddess in my world doesn't dwell with mortals.

[as far as marianne is aware, anyway!!!]

[primordialerebus]

Oh have you never seen a tarot deck? Or maybe they don't exist in your world idk I shouldn't be presuming since they're pulling us from like, everywhere I guess. Idk don't worry about it. I can try and remember what the major arcana are and send them to u I guess????

[cresture]

Oh -- really? You would do that for me?

[coraline??? Marianne is, as always, unused to offers of help, merely because she always assumes that she should do it herself to be less of a burden on others but you know, this is nice... It calms her down some too,]

I mean -- thank you...! I would very much appreciate that.

[coraline.... +10 support points]

[primordialerebus]

Uh yeah of course! It's no biggie!

[ It's really not that big of a deal it's just gonna take her a second to remember. Indeed, after around 10 minutes (she may or may not be walking and texting whoops), another text is sent. ]

I think these are right? Probs not the right order but uh u know.

1. Death
2. THE WORLD [ Totally not a reference to anything whatsoever. ]
3. Heirophant???
4. Hanged Man
5. Tower
6. Hermit
7. Lovers
8. Moon
9. Temperance
10. Fool
11. Magician
12. Justice
13. Priestess
14. Emperor
15. Chariot
16. Wheel... or Fortune??? (I think that's right)
17. Devil
18. Star
19. Moon
20. Judgement
21. I honestly can not remember the last one I'm so sorry.

[ Haha get it no one can remember the empress? I'll see myself out. ]

[cresture]

[closes eyes]

That's so many! [Marianne is used to just the One, you know??? It feels almost sacrilegious to read 21 names, 20 names, like this. But now she sees what Coraline meant -- the names Priestess and Emperor standing out especially.]

But I understand now... Thank you, Coraline. I hope that this incident wasn't caused by either the Priestess or Emperor. Maybe it's just something that can't be explained.

[or maybe death is behind it all, hm]

[primordialerebus]

Yeah it's a lot... but idk. Guess they had to keep a theme there.

[ She's kind of trying to joke. Kind of. ]

And yeah no problem! Just... same. Hopefully it's just like, something that happens. But I doubt it.

[ HMMMMMM ]
