Backdated: Two for the price of one psychic posts [Jaunt]

[papacerberus]

[Lupa's first broadcast on the psychic network happens a couple hours after this event. He sounds worried, but calm when he speaks up.]

Has anyone had contact with Raidou in the past few hours? I lost track of his presence a couple hours ago, and a search for his will brought up nothing just now. I'm becoming concerned.




[Lupa's second broadcast comes several days later, a little into the start of Week 3. He sounds very worried, tone clipped with barely reigned in emotion.]

Raidou is still missing, and now that my dreamcatcher has refilled, I used my powers over will to seek direction. I'm being guided towards using a skill that should take me to the Walkabout, if I understand it correctly. I haven't used it before, and there is much happening here but... to my knowledge Raidou is without backup over there, if he did somehow transfer over, as I now suspect. I can't leave a comrade alone without backup, especially when everyone here has plenty of support.

[Touch of guilt there, because he doesn't want to leave everyone here without his support either, but he can't be in two places at once.]

I don't believe I'll have a way of contacting anyone once I go over, so I'm sending notice now.

((ooc: rather than clog up the comm with two separate, short posts, I rolled them into one. Please make clear which your character is responding to, if possible!))

Part two

[truerevelation]

[There's a brief blast of psychic cursing here for a moment. The first time they've had a chance to investigate on the same side as each other... and this happens?

Ugh. He gets the logic, but that doesn't mean it doesn't sting a bit.]

... yeah. A-alright. Gotta do what you've gotta do.

[Faint sigh.]

Heh. Ain't up to me to start goin' 'be careful' at you.

[papacerberus]

I'm sorry, Kanji. But I know you're a skilled leader in your own right, and your comrades from home are here to help you. Even if it collapses into fighting, perhaps especially if it does, I trust that you will overcome all obstacles and succeed in your aims.

[After a pause, softer.] Keep watch over Gale for me? I don't know how to do so myself without raising suspicion.

[That... might be another reason leaving has appeal. It's hard to be near Gale but not able to be with Gale.]

I will be, regardless.

[truerevelation]

Feels kinda inevitable... especially now those burgers have shown up and we're hearing all this Nevermore stuff. You heard anythin' else?
But... thanks.

I'll see what I can do for him, yeah.

[papacerberus]

I haven't, but I still have many concerns about Malik. Watch him closely. Unfortunately I can't imagine him being bonded with someone with such ill intent and not at least being aware and condoning it. There isn't anything I can do, however, without potentially exposing the Travelers, so it's for the best that I don't try to act in that regard.

[And Lupa does find that frustrating, for all that he's sure it's true. He's made too many mistakes while investigating in that regard to go forward with what he wants to do in the situation.]

Thank you.
