Travelers Assemble! [Jaunt]

[vrepit_no]

All right, Travellers, we have a goal and a way to get to it. There is a portal in a park near the pogemon HQ that leads to a similar landscape to the one we're aiming for. I'm clearing the area and we can use it as a launch point. What do people know about this Nevermore character? Weaknesses, layout of the castle, guard numbers and types - any information is good information guys.

And let me know who's coming to the portal and whether or not you've signed up with the Guardia. There's some good material and supplies there if you need them and it will allow you to move about freely.

I can take a look at the robot if you want. Software's in my alley of expertise. Tell me where to meet you and I'll take a look, we might get something useful from it.

[vrepit_no]

Unpleasant or not, so long as it doesn't hurt you or anyone around you, Miss, I think we're going to need all the help we can get. If you're willing to come, we'll be glad of your assistance.

[vrepit_no]

Affirmative. If he doesn't at least have some noisy ambushes set up, then he's exceptionally stupid, and that doesn't seem likely from something of this calliber. But we may be able to use those am ushes to our advantage as distractions.

[vrepit_no]

Agreed. It sounds like we have access to a castle map, if you'd like a look before you go. But no one under my advisement will be launching any assaults until we have more intel.

[truerevelation]

What can I say, someone's gotta keep an eye on this side'f things while everyone's going birdwatching...

But I'm thinkin' that I can put a few old skills to use with Liminal tricks... I can just plain make a whole bunch of 'em. Fully powered. Ain't actually tested it, I'm gonna need a bit of time, but ... no reason why it ain't gonna work.

[vrepit_no]

[Ninjas? Oh dear sweet Mother Earth. Actual magical ninjas. With Texan accents. What. Focus, Shiro, focus.]

Uh. Well this is all new to me. If we get the shuriken off of him will it... de-transform him, for lack of a better term?

[truerevelation]

Yeah. I figured it probably wasn't. But ... hell, there's enough people who don't need the excuse.

[comebewe]

We...haven't gotten around to working out the trick to showing things on the network yet. But we can make copies.

...You're meeting up in the park?

[vrepit_no]

Yeah. I'll be more careful next time. Thanks for pointing that out.

[vrepit_no]

[Brief, startled silence.]

You can just create a bunch of pogs?

[vrepit_no]

Copies are honestly better, in my opinion, and we can be sure to have someone able to broadcast with us if we need to rearrange groups.

Yeah, there's a portal in the park near the pogemon HQ. I'm working on clearing the area as we speak.

[truerevelation]

In theory, yeah. Might take some more, uh, specialised skills - hey, anyone with the right Grid stuff that can lend a hand? But ... I've been makin' shit outta Liminal Space for ages. Lotta people can.

[vrepit_no]

I knew about the food and clothing... small items like that. I didn't realize you could do that with more magical things from other worlds. That would be incredibly helpful.

[truerevelation]

Well, I ain't gonna say it's gonna be a piece of cake but ... gotta be worth a shot, right? Lotta the hard stuff comes down to ... understanding what you're making. Whether it's technology or other things.

[hiding_honor_in_darkness]

That would be beneficial, yes. Drizzt and I will be returning to liminal space shortly to prepare. Where should we go to look over the map?

[comebewe]

Um.

You know, maybe it's just me, but the middle of a park where you're currently battling an army made up of food and footwear doesn't seem like the best place to go handing out the stolen plans of the castle of the guy that sent them in the first place.

[seestheworld]

It doesn't hurt anyone, except for maybe whoever gets hit with the resulting spell, but a lot of people find simulated headshots kind of...

[upsetting]

...startling.

Also, it tends to mark me as Not From Around Here, but when things start getting to this point in a Jaunt, that's harder to avoid in general - especially when there's a threat like Nevermore to contend with.

[vrepit_no]

Sorry, clearing the area of civilians. The pogemon seem to mostly be coming from other portals closer to the school and stadium.

[vrepit_no]

Simulated--

[vrepit_no]

[Shiro isn't home right now. Please leave a message at the--]

[comebewe]

Oh good. That's way less stupid.

I'll be there soon.

[vrepit_no]

[Oh no wait, he's back. If, uh, perhaps a little shaky and trying to hide it.]

Thanks for the warning. That would have been... yeah. Startling. But I think we're still going to need your help. And I'm trying to keep as many natives and civilians out of this as possible. Though we may not have a choice with Malik. He and Athena are insisting, and they'll go on their own.

[comebewe]

We can hand it to you in liminal space.

[vrepit_no]

...Thanks. See you shortly.

[vrepit_no]

Someone's taking a captured burger pogemon to liminal space and he has the original map. You could look at it there. Or if you're coming to the portal, I'll have one ready for you there as well. Your choice.
