Ah... to all the new people arriving, please stay calm. Try not to panic, and try not to project your thoughts so chaotically - with all of you that are arriving, it'll only make things more confusing for everyone. No one will hear your thoughts if you're not actively projecting them.

I know you all have a lot of questions. There are many of us who've been here a while, so try to find someone who looks like they know what they're doing, and they can help you. I'll try to help as best I can too - we can talk like this, or if you'd prefer face to face, I'm over by the black knight.

Ah... that's a little hard to explain. Basically, whoever it was that brought us here set up the telepathic network for our benefit. Most of us don't someone else having the power to do that with our minds, but it certainly does come in handy.

[He frowns listening to her conversation with Leonardo.]

What communicator?

[shotstaff]

[ she's definitely following along (seemingly, at least), and she even lets out a few thought-hums as he talks. at his question, though, she frowns. ]

We... kinda woke up with one? Well, I mean-- I woke up with one, I guess, I dunno 'bout you. But... [ her head's starting to hurt. ] Bananas, I don't even think I am where I think I am!

[neverfeltthatway]

I don't think the communicator has anything to do with what's happening here.

I don't know where you think you are, but right now we're in Liminal Space. It's a place between worlds, kind of a rest stop. It doesn't always follow the same rules as normal places.

[ wait what. ]

So this seriously isn't Haven West? Like, seriously seriously? [ please say yes, please say yes, please say yes-- ]

[neverfeltthatway]

...What's Haven West?

[shotstaff]

It-it's Haven West! Y'know: dirty, crumbling buildings, crappy food, run by the Yao Corp, used t' have a monster walking around with a rusty metal roof for a head?

Any of that ring a bell?

[neverfeltthatway]

No. You're not in Haven West anymore. [Given the description, he can't tell if that's a good thing or a bad thing - so he doesn't say anything more just yet.]

[ Armin's not going to get a clear response out of that in the network, but he will hear something of a really loud squeal along with a girl shouting "OHMIGOSH, YES! YES, YES, YES!" a ways away. ]
