plot, coup des jardins: action!

The log for exploring the Labyrinth in search of the Queen is now up here; sorry for the delay! It will be open ICly until next Tuesday, and backtagging can continue at any rate you wish. So, how does it work?

If you're going to throw a character in, comment here letting us know which character, if they'll be going in a group, and whether you're okay with that group being split up (and if so, which characters should absolutely not be separated). ICly, everyone should get a chance to meet the Queen, help her out, and potentially earn some reward...assuming they keep their wits about them and have the courage to make it through the Labyrinth.

Then go ahead and tag the log! You can do it in prose format or in quicklog/action-thread format--whichever you're most comfortable with.

THE OFFICIAL TEAM AS FAR AS I KNOW

[sistagonist.livejournal.com]

Souji, Tsukasa, Minako, and Grell.

That's three Fools, two Deaths, two Devils, and two Judgments between them, I think.

Are the Fools, Deaths, Devils, and Judgments Persona figures? I'm sorry, I'm not too familiar with the canon.

Yeah, all the Persona games are huge on Tarot themes - every Persona, every monster (at least in 3 and 4) and any character for whom it's relevant is sorted into one of the Major Arcana.

The Heroes could all three be considered Fool arcana, being blank slate coming-of-age-story protagonists (Souji and Minato/Minako also start off with Fool-Arcana Personas). Minako's plot associates her heavily with Death for various reasons, and Grell's a Shinigami. Grell is also a kind of Devil in personality (not bad, just...not very moral either), and Tsukasa is...well, hevily involved with literal devils. Judgment applies to both Minako and Tsukasa because their plots end with something like "Judgment Day", and they take a big part in how that is resolved.

I'm just screwing around with shallow interpretations of Tarot cards as personality descriptors for fun, basically.

Oh, now I get it! Thank you for the explanation, it sounds really fun! ♥
