[Jaunt] Check-in

[shiroganeheir]

[Naoto's mental voice is higher than usual, and definitely worried.]

Can someone please tell me what's going on? I seem to be stuck in a compact. Again. If someone could help find me, that would be greatly appreciated.

[She coughs and composes herself.]

At any rate, those of us who are Investigating should likely check in. Please let us know who is here, and any information you might have. For those who are new... welcome to your first Jaunt.

[Another pause.]

Oh. And I am Naoto Shirogane, usually small with a blue hat, but sometimes larger. Or a rock. Or a cat person. It is complicated.... but I always have my hat.

This is Zaknafein. I appear human this time. I have made my way inside the stadium, though I seem to have drawn the attention of one of the large beasts.

[shiroganeheir]

Good to hear from you, Zaknafein-san. I believe that these creatures are attempting to bond with people for mutual benefit. It might not be a terrible idea to see if one chooses you.

[hiding_honor_in_darkness]

I am not a master of beasts. I would not begin know how to care for one.

[acheat]

So you are human, presently?

Do you need any help right now, Zak?

[hiding_honor_in_darkness]

I am, yes, and I do not know. I believe this creature is attempting to test me.

[acheat]

Tests are terrible and not really the best allocation of your time, Zaknafein.

I think you should cheat.

[He's looking for YOU.]

[hiding_honor_in_darkness]

You would say that, but I do not think this is something I can-

-=he cuts off as he's suddenly charged by a giant armored cat monster=-

[acheat]

[OKAY HE'S GONNA FIND YOU.]

[naturaltwohands]

No sudden moves, Father, and it will likely not attack.

[Drizzt isn't at all concerned. Because he knows how powerful his father is. So, teasing is a go.]

[hiding_honor_in_darkness]

That is untrue, especially if it is a test. It is beginning to remind me of the masters at Melee Magthere, stalking around to test your ability to act.

[naturaltwohands]

Then it is not a normal beast.

[hiding_honor_in_darkness]

Given these Pogemon creatures are intelligent enough to speak, I would imagine not.

[naturaltwohands]

Where are you? I will find you quickly.

[Even if he thinks Dad can handle it just fine.]

[hiding_honor_in_darkness]

Remain where you are.

-=and there won't be any more replies for a while. he has a giant cat to wrangle=-

[naturaltwohands]

[A pause.]

... I will.
