backdated to late week 3

[Naoki promised conversation, even if he can't help much with a rescue, and he's at least going to follow through on that. Not to mention, he's had some time to think on how this works since Altair and Matthew's time in the Floor, and he thinks he's got something figured out, as far as patching more than one person through the divide goes.

Only one way to find out.]

Lyall-sensei?

Is there anyone else stuck down there with you?

(OOC: Naoki can patch up to six other people through on this conversation; with Lyall and presumably Hajime, that leaves room for four more. Please PM or plurk-ping me before jumping in so I can keep track of numbers!)

[There's a vague sense of relief and maybe eagerness at being reached out to.]

Oh, yes, actually-- there is. Hajime's down here as well. Just as well, we wouldn't want his infiltration still running around out there without mine to keep him in line.

Not that I'm suggesting I'm glad he was, er, murdered, but well. You know.

Hajime, Naoki is visiting. Psychically, that is. Anything you'd like me to pass along?

[Why yes, that is audible on the network, too. Somewhat accidentally, since he said it out loud, too.]

[leftbehindagain]

He can possibly just say it himself. If I'm right, I think I figured out how to patch other people through on one of these things without ridiculous livestreaming shenanigans - sacrificing some talk time to do it, but there's not much to report up here regardless, so far.

[chalicejoker]

I can hear you, yeah. Never thought I'd miss the network that much, go figure.

...and it's not like we've got much to report down here, either.

[leftbehindagain]

Excellent, it worked. [Despite the circumstances, he is glad to have confirmation of that much.]

I think there's still a rescue plan in the works. No leads on how to stop Lyall-sensei's vision that I've heard of, though.

[Which is frustrating because massive earthquakes are not to be trifled with, but.]

[professorwolf]

Unfortunate, but not uncommon. I only figure out what's going on with my visions ahead of time about half to two thirds of the time, quite honestly, and only slightly more after the fact.

[leftbehindagain]

At least there's a theory for what it is, but I'm not sure if that helps or hurts, this time...

[chalicejoker]

As long as we can get out of here and do something about it, instead of just sitting around and waiting...

[This is kind of making him a little crazy here.]

[leftbehindagain]

That's the idea.

[professorwolf]

Is there anyone perhaps going up Olympus to see if those falling gods, if that's what they are, can be saved?

[leftbehindagain]

I think Kinji-san's planning to use his in with the Titans to ask if that's what it is, and if so, if that's the main plan, and if it's not, why it might happen.

[chalicejoker]

...we...have to rely on Kinji.

[WHY THIS]

[professorwolf]

Is that going to be a problem?

[chalicejoker]

...he's the guy I bit when I was Karis.

[He is eternally embarrassed about that.]

And we've never gotten along well anyway.

[professorwolf]

Well, someone doesn't have to be able to get along with you in order to be useful or even good at what they do. We'll have to hope he'll be fine.

[chalicejoker]

I'm...uh...I'm probably more likely to not..get...

...yeah. I can deal with it.

[professorwolf]

Let me know if you need to talk about anything, Hajime.

[He's right there, after all.]

[chalicejoker]

Yeah, uh. I will.

[He sounds embarrassed, probably because he's letting some stupid petty feud or whatever the hell he has going with Kinji figure into anything here.]

[hazardlight]

[A probably unexpected and definitely disproportionately put-upon mental voice chimes in - ]

Yo if you folks are doing a headcount, you can put me down as "dumbass who doesn't know how to stay with the tour group."

[leftbehindagain]

[...Well this is a surprise.]

In that case, I'm really glad I figured out how to get multiple people in on one of these things. Are you all right?

[hazardlight]

I'm fine dude I know better than to make deals or drink out of suspicious-looking rivers or shit, honestly this place is quieter than I'd expect the dead dominions to be back home. Less buildup of dead folks? I dunno.

I just super am not ready to be a long-term resident.

[leftbehindagain]

Can't say I blame you for that.

I know there are people working on getting down there for Lyall-sensei, but I don't know the details on that, if they've been sorted out. [In retrospect he possibly should have waited until he did, but oh well?]

[professorwolf]

Oh dear. Where are you? We can meet up, I think having all of us in one place might be easiest when it comes to rescue or escape, whichever winds up happening.
