In Ur Head, Giving U The Low-Down

[wholeheaded]

Hey everyone, Ambrose here. New folks: welcome to your first Jaunt, it's a much comfier landing than most of us are used to. That said, I'm thinking "too good to be true" and "all that sparkles isn't emeralds" and "no such thing as a free lunch" and all kinds of other don't-take-nice-looking-things-at-face-value idioms.

If you need help blending in please ask. I know there's a few folks from this time in Earth's history, we're gonna need you guys. [ he really wants to ask what a "United Mileage Plus Explorer Card" is, that's one thing in his wallet he hasn't figured out. ] I do know magic isn't a known thing here, so... try and avoid summoning lightning and giant ice dragons and stuff like that, okay?

[ Ambrose well remembers the anxiety his Infiltrated-self felt last jaunt when presented with inconceivable feats of sorcery. speaking of: ]

And-- has anybody recognized any Infiltrators yet? Cuz if not that's downright weird.


(OOC: threadjacking and folks-not-me responding to top levels is A+++. I'll hit up as many people as I can but treat this as a psychic free-for-all.)

Brooklyn, Belljar, and the school're pretty much what I'm going on too.Mostly Belljar. We'll muddle through all this together. And for the lack of Infiltrators... I'm thinking more that it's an all-hands-on-deck situation.

[ pardon the nautical idiom, he's still a little in sailor mode.]

But what could call for something like that? Nothing any of us remember has ever been that serious - not Dolorosa, not the Spark, not even Moebius. More than that, how will we know where to start, without any clues? There's nothing obviously wrong with this world yet.

Maybe... Maybe infiltrators are like training wheels for the Trumps, and they think we've finally learned to ride without them.

Could be, though why they'd decide that right when we finally get some new folks in I have no idea. [ pause. ] Or maybe it's a test, or... why do we bother trying to figure out what they're up to anymore?

[neverfeltthatway]

There has to be a pattern, some sort logic to it. Just because we don't have the perspective to see it yet doesn't mean we should stop trying.

No, of course not, just… sorry, venting. I should focus my frustration on compiling data, really.

[neverfeltthatway]

I-It's all right. I know it's discouraging. I just... we can't let ourselves give in.

Belljar was my first Jaunt, I know we need to keep it together.
