His Grace, King Robb Stark and I are feeling ourselves once more, we are in Liminal Space. May we perchance receive assistance on joining the rest of you? I do not have control over portals. This place may be of interest as well, Liminal Space normally holds some clue as to what is happening. Should anyone wish, I can share what I see inside your minds.




The Grasper... I do not know if it can be defeated. It would have their entire race enslaved as monsters.

I'd like to see.

But the good news is, we dealt with the Grasper problem.

I'd like to hear how everyone thinks things are going on the ships now, too. I've been on the atoll since the battle, looking for something,

[upcard]

[Dealt with it...... but still, it was horrifying and terrifying and Mai is glad to be on solid ground. Still, hearing Tim...]

Tim-san, are you okay...? You weren't hurt, right?

[detectivewonder]

Not seriously. I'm a little concerned that we've blown our cover - not that we had any good alternatives.

[upcard]

[there are so many questions she has just from that.]

... Is that...bad? [Well, she knows it is, but... how bad?]

[detectivewonder]

Depends on how they react. It might be harmless. It might turn into a witch hunt. I've seen both.

[upcard]

[A witch hunt. wow, that's the last thing they need.]

U-um... if that happens, what will we do? We can't go anywhere...

[There's nowhere to escape, she's aware of that much.]

[fixated]

[ far more interesting that what's happening on his ship is the fact that there appears to be a lad who's lost something. ]

The ship is well enough, considering what we all just went through. What are you looking for?

[detectivewonder]

Signs of habitation.

[fixated]

Eh?

You think that someone may have lived here once before?

[detectivewonder]

The castaway we picked up. Don Orlea.

[fixated]

Ah yes... I believe a fairy did mention that a new arrival was brought on board one of the ships a bit ago.

Did he run off or are you hoping to find another?

[icy_heavens]

Some measure of fear and caution directed toward some of us that have showier abilities, at least on the Panlong. Not to an unsalvagable degree, I don't think, but it's there.

[detectivewonder]

From what I heard, the Panlong has bigger worries right now, too.

[icy_heavens]

Mm. A maddened Siren killed the captain and is currently imprisoned on the ship, and they're the ones that took Don Orlea aboard. Quite a few issues, really. The extent of our abilities looks to be something they feel they can put lower on their priority lists for now since we haven't made any move against them. Save for disagreeing with what turned out to be the captain's final order, but we weren't alone in that.

[detectivewonder]

Wonderful.

Did anyone search the area Don Orlea was found for signs of long-term habitation?

[icy_heavens]

[Isn't it just?]

Not so far as I'm aware; I wasn't part of the party that picked him up.

[kingofbadlifechoices]

[A long pause before Robb starts to talk, his voice trembling lightly.]

The ship called the Harbringer got smashed to pieces.

[He did that and to be fair, he feels awful about it while it feels as if it hasn't been entirely his doing as well.]

The Panlong still floats.

[detectivewonder]

Actually, we got the Harbinger back.

[kingofbadlifechoices]

That is good news. How did this happen?

[detectivewonder]

The short answer is, magic.

[Leonardo's been mostly listening to everyone else, rather than actively participate in any of the conversation. When it dies down a little, he finally decides to respond to Tim.]

... then it is clear that our guest did not arrive by ship, if you have found nothing. But how, then? He is dodging questions of how by saying that there are many ships that have sunk on the atolls... but no sign of wreckage? That seems impossible. So it must be by some other means.

[He pauses to let that sink in a little, before adding:]

I asked him outright whether it was a ship that brought him here, just now. He asked how else he would have. When I... mentioned that it could have been by Liminal portal, since that was how we arrived in this world, he simply said, "I have never traveled through a portal".

[detectivewonder]

Did he sound surprised by the question?

And how much have you told him about us, either prior to the question or as of now?

[howexciting]

Mildly, though he answered soon enough.

I have told him only one thing about "us", specifically - that we arrived here by other means. It is not as if we can hide our status as outsiders in this world anymore, is it?

But there is something else. He has taken my name. L-E-O-N-A-R-D-O... [He spells it out in his head, because sadly he can't sensory livestream to explain what he's talking about.] ... becomes D-O-N-O-R-L-E-A, if you rearrange it appropriately. I... am not sure if this means danger for me or not.

[detectivewonder]

Tell me as much as you can of what he's said to you. Verbatim, if possible.

If he plays word games... he just sat down at the wrong table.

[canbebrave]

Dear Leonardo, you must be more careful.


We won't allow him to harm you.
