Conversation Space 101: Hanged Man

pendingjudgementWhat you can call them: Pendu
What their conversation space looks like: The entire room is upside-down.
Travelers who drop in here land on the exposed wooden beams of the ceiling, with simple hanging lights stretching up toward the floor, where a rug, table and chair rest just beyond easy reach. The scenery past the dusty windows is a confusing mess of floating platforms on large balloons, many of which have accidentally pulled from their mooring island and flipped over in a tangle of ropes, making them useless to anyone.
One can reach the table and chair with a bit of effort; all they have to do is let go of their attachment to the gravity they came in with, and they can hop to the floor easily. (Whether they’ll think of that right away, or indeed at all, is another matter entirely.) There’s a glass on the table, filled with some kind of fizzy soda pop - but it is upside down on a crystalline coaster. If anyone wanted to drink it, they'd have to flip it over with the coaster on top.
What can you expect from Arcana Chats: Pendu isn’t archetypal chill so much as archetypal apathy - he doesn’t have much to say, and when he does it’s pretty noncommittal. He doesn’t really have a plan for winning Synodiporia (in large part because that would require all the other participants shitting the bed in a BIG way). The voice box on his legless-robot form is currently busted, requiring his conversation partner to keep it wound up if they want to make any progress. He considers himself an anchor for those who need it.
He also has a bronze statue in Helena’s parlor that can be used as a conversation proxy, without the trouble of the whole voice box thing.
