What if we get an actual lion?!

[ pray for a quick death ]

There's no way that'll happen, right?

Re: DISCUSSION

[catastrophies]

We have cups in our stomachs!

Re: DISCUSSION

So you think we'll get an lion?

Re: DISCUSSION

[catastrophies]

I-I don't know! Maybe it'll be literal again.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pronounced]

If it is, at least it'll be over quickly.

[ it's....a really poorly timed joke. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[catastrophies]

That's not funny!

[the worst thing about being possessed by the spirit of an animal that wasn't allowed to peacefully die is that sometimes, you're actually okay with dying EXCEPT THAT'S NOT OKAY?!]

Re: DISCUSSION

[pronounced]

It's true though.

[ slkjawe kyo pls ]

It's not to say that I would want that to happen.

Re: DISCUSSION

[catastrophies]

So don't joke about it!

Re: DISCUSSION

Then we'll probably owe Lion an apology.

[I'm sorry, black humor is a defense mechanism.]

If they go that way, then it'll probably be someone turning into a lion or having their mind turn feral instead. These are probably changes to ourselves, after all.

Re: DISCUSSION

[clocksandroses]

S-So we should choose something else . . .

Re: DISCUSSION

[catastrophies]

[THAT'S NOT FUNNY

in fact, looking more horrified and terrified by the suggested possibilities]

Re: DISCUSSION

[debate_avenger]

I don't think it'll be both, so if someone turns into a lion, they'll probably still think like us, just... be a lion. The second one is mildly dangerous since the only one of us that knows how to fight is Parallel, so she can't take that one.

[Is. Is that a comfort?]

Re: DISCUSSION

[clocksandroses]

Please choose something else!

Re: DISCUSSION

[debate_avenger]

Then... Let's see what else we have... I'd say Temperance, but the symbolism there is a bit hard to figure out. We have an angel pouring water into a cup over a lake or pond, while a... volcano erupts in the background?

Re: DISCUSSION

[clocksandroses]

W-What about Justice?

Re: DISCUSSION

[debate_avenger]

Let's see, then... a king sitting on a throne, holding a balanced scale in one hand and a sword in the other, with a curtain behind him...

[...This is even less symbolism than usual...]

...I suppose it might work? It's hard to figure out what it's about, to be honest.

Re: DISCUSSION

[clocksandroses]

M-Mm, but Justice . . . it's supposed to be good, right? I don't think it will be here, but . . .

[clasps her hands together.]

I-I could try it . . .

Re: DISCUSSION

[debate_avenger]

Well, if you're willing to risk it, that's fine. I'd rather not force you Cats to do something dangerous before we know what it does, but I don't think it can be helped in this case.

If something goes wrong, it's okay to blame me.

Re: DISCUSSION

[clocksandroses]

W-Whatever happens, I definitely won't blame you, Dissolve-san!

And . . . And unless whatever it is is hurting you, don't let me tear up the card. O-Okay? This is for all of us.

[maybe it would be if they didn't already have cups for kidneys.
