Psychic Post - The Newb has some Questions
[It's a bit odd putting his thoughts out on the network without something direct to reply to, but Lyall is giving it a go.]
Ah. Forgive me, I'm afraid I'm a bit new here, but I had some questions and I'm hoping someone might have answers... this seemed the easiest way to seek them out, without having to hunt people down individually. Especially as I don't know very many of you all yet.
I'm Randolph Lyall. Biology teacher from New Jersey. Also werewolf from Victorian England. It's a bit complicated.
But most pressing, I suppose, is that I need to know just how much of these Jaunts stay with us... I remember everything, but I don't seem to be able to do everything. Not that I've tried everything yet, exactly, but certain things are a bit fuzzy. Like the mechanics of having one's faction changed. I understood it implicitly after it happened, but now it's all confusing, like it happened to somebody else. And I could do this intense focus work, KALI called it Constructive Enlightenment, but it's quite gone, now.
Also, someone mentioned lessons in Tarot, and seeing as they seem to be pretty important to all this... I'm definitely going to want those, if they're still available.
Lastly, how did it take me this long to realize we have Leonardo daVinci here?
[The last sounds a little like he should be a teenager saying "oh my god that is so awesome" despite the generally polite and controlled sound of the rest of it.]

Incidentally, while I'm here - anyone who had a conversation with SAGE, ROSE, or our friend with the horned helmet should probably check themselves for mysterious tattoos. Three-Trump special, and I wouldn't be surprised if they all marked someone.
no subject
As for the marks, nothing here. I think, anyhow. But then, I didn't really interact with any of, er, those. I think I saw ROSE from a distance. KALI wasn't a Trump, was she? She did some rather amazing things, I have to admit, and her name is that of an Indian goddess, so I did wonder a bit....
no subject
KALI... oh, right, the weird Crypto. I don't think so? Not unless Tower snuck in there after all. [Even if they didn't, Naoki's willing to bet Tower's quite pleased with the outcome of this jaunt.]

[He's never going to get over the fanboy thing. Seriously, how is he this famous?]
In answer to your question... it was a success. At least, I believe it was. Sage, or I should say more accurately, The Hermit, intended to use it as another body, one that was not bound to the Grid as his previous body was. The "cure" moved in my arms as I was holding it, before he was dere-- before he was killed.
Anyway, if you wish to relearn Constructive Enlightenment, I would be happy to teach it to you again. I seem to have retained it here. Otherwise, we should speak of what we learned from the Trumps in the Jaunt, and then prepare for the next.
You say you are from... Victorian England? [He pauses, then adds:] I am truly sorry.

Everything happened very quickly around the transfer itself, but I believe the cure did function as intended. SAGE's infected body was destroyed, but the function stirred. I believe the transfer was completed. Though how completely is difficult to say.

Things Ken knows he should probably not keep avoiding people over: this.]
...I didn't talk to any of them on the Grid, but I still got marked.
I'm almost positive it was in Liminal Space before the jaunt.
[So that can happen too, apparently. Time to be extra paranoid about newcomers!]
no subject
Are you all right?
no subject
I'm okay.
[Mostly feeling like kind of an ass for sitting on that tidbit for the entire jaunt, really.]

[ A sigh. But given his role in the whole Jaunt... ]
Do we know anything about what these marks do?
no subject
[Naoto's not the type to sit on something that could help.]

I will share any information I ever come up with, however, and if you have any questions, I am always open to answer them.
no subject
And... if I may ask, has there been a trend in mark placing? Mine is rather... how should I say it... no, not unconventional. Just rather inconvenient to monitor.

[Oh. Oh God. Is this the Trumps' way of saying they're getting impatient?]
What did they look like? I was a Crypto, so I knew the Hermit, but... what was Rose? And what is this about a horned helmet...?
no subject
Stole us out from under the others' noses to get things done, too, apparently.
