I'm in a horse

[ The current Liminal Space is seen from the eyes of Altaïr, who is standing in the main chamber, the thundering of hooves and storm echoing around him. Luckily for those on the Network, his view does not shake as he keeps a steady balance. He deliberately does not look at the bronze organs, which... move as living organs do. He speaks in his usual serious tones, though he breathes like he's just finished with a run. ]

If this is indeed the Wooden Horse, the next Jaunt will not be a happy one. The Trojan War is not a place any of us want to be. We must be cautious. The lengths people will go to inflict suffering on one another are only limited by the imagination.

When we are taken to the next world, try talking to me on the Network. If you cannot make a portal into Liminal Space, I will find places for us to hide until we are sure of safety in that land.

It's not. It's shaped by the Arcana - you should have met one of them before appearing here.

[Armin's actual voice and image appears in her head when he responds, not just a mental tone.]

The Trojan War isn't from my world either, so I can't tell you much there. But yes, when the Arcana send us on jaunts we Travel to other worlds.

I did... It's just, I didn't think they could will something like this. The one I spoke with was frail and sickly... I didn't think he could even summon tea. [She thinks it, since it's in her head, she'll ask how he did that later.]

I'll figure the rest out, but thank you.

Unfortunately, they can do a lot more than we might like. [He frowns, thinking.] Frail and sickly... was he heavily bandaged?

[ She shakes her head] No, aged sickly. Dressed in the funeral clothing of my people, yet I knew he was not one. He may have looked it, but the mannerisms were off.

Ah. You were marked by Mortimer, then, the thirteenth arcana. More commonly known as Death.

And there is a cruel joke somewhere... My kind are symbols of life. [ She sounds a little worried, but at least she's not freaking out ]

[Not freaking out is reassuring.]

Death as represented in tarot - to be honest, his Arcana has more to do with change and finality than simply death. [Though obviously death is included.]

If you don't mind me asking... what do you mean by your kind? What kind is that?

And I knew there was a reason I should have paid more attentions when the soothsayers laid the cards. I know of Tarot, though... not all the card meanings. Was more into reading runes...

Kagonesti... [ She pauses, most people probably won't know the term.] Wild elf. They brought me here while I was running an errand for my mentor. He's going to be mad about not having the ground minotaur hooves for the spell he was working on... [ She is almost giggling with that though, because it really is out of her hands.]

There are a lot of us here who know the specifics, if you have any questions. Obviously, we've had reason to learn as much as we could.

Wild elf... the only elves I know of are from January - and they definitely weren't wild - and the ones like Drizzt, and he said they're called Drow. [So he has no idea what it means to be a wild elf.]

...Actually, it's likely that he won't. My friends all came from a later point in time than I did, back home. And yet... they insist I was never missing, that I never acted weird or appeared older than I should have. It seems like us being here doesn't affect things back home. That somehow we're still there - or there's some version of us that never left.

Yes, I'm very new, so... Trying to learn as much as I can. Though if I cannot figure things out, I will be sure to ask, others have answered many questions for me already.

January? [Though she catches the name.] I met him, and another. They are not from my world. My race... is the branch that high elves came from. Though we're as different from them as the Barbarian clans are to knights. [ At least, that sounded right in her head!]

Well that's a little comforting. I would hate to have to listen to another lecture about how I shouldn't waste time.

All right. [As long as she knows she can ask, and feels comfortable doing so when she needs. Armin tries to look out for the younger Travelers if he can.]

That was the name of the setting for the jaunt. [He pauses a moment, but...] Er, to be honest, I really don't know what any of that means. [High elves, wild elves, barbarian clans - all have connotations and meanings that escape him.]

Yes. I don't know how much it's something we can count on, especially when the Arcana's game ends, but it's nice to know our worlds, all our friends back home probably aren't missing us. [He doesn't want any of his friends to die because he, Eren, and Mikasa aren't there to fight alongside them.]

[ She sighed, with only one race of elf there before her, she would think it would go over the heads of some people.] I could explain it sometime when we are not trying to prepare for where we are going if you would like.

It'll have to be enough for now.

I'd like that, if you don't mind. I enjoy hearing about other worlds and cultures.

And that's about how I feel about it too. It's not much, but as far as our homes go, it's about all we've got.

I would like to hear about yours too! {She means it too!]

Then I guess I'm going to have to get used to it, or this is going to be a horrible trip.

[His smile vanishes at that, and he suddenly looks concerned and uncertain. It's a nice sentiment, certainly - but talking about his world generally isn't pleasant for anyone.] ...We'll see.

[He tries to act normally, but that was a big enough slip it'll likely be hard to cover up.] That is the case, unfortunately. We simply try our best to get through it, and to be there for each other.

[ That's the second time that she's gotten that reaction. The man with the pretty horse reacted the same way...]

Then it's fortunate we met. I will keep an eye out if I can for you and others as well. I may not be a good fighter, but I am fast once I get to a tree line, if nothing else I could act as a distraction if needed.
