A public service announcement and a request.

[eldritchwheelies]

Hey all. Been a while. It's Madoka Mawaru. First Jaunt Harrowgate, last Jaunt before getting Dungeoned I spent on the Grid as the Malware/Automaton Defenses Optimization and Compiler App. Sorry to worry you - I just came back from talking with Best Pony. How long have the Champs been so blatant?

Anyway. Come find me. I'll be around - gonna charge my phone, then see if someone put up a place to stay or can make food.

A little bit later, there's something like a mental groan.

...One last thing. I didn't want to have to ask this, but... I was worse than useless as I was, Infiltrated in Harrowgate and the Grid.

Every single traveller here has blanket permission to shock my Overlay out of a Jaunt, using whatever it takes to do it. I know... at least one way to do it, though I normally wouldn't recommend it.

That depends on what you mean by 'blatant' - there were like four of them on the Grid, and a pay phone that called some of them afterward. Actively pulling people aside for chats is... the last six months or so?

[You know, as far as one can tell time when jaunts are involved.]

There's another option for bringing people out of overlays now. You're still sharing a body with them, but you can get on the network and into Liminal Space like usual. I don't know how many of us can do it - I seem to have discovered it by accident.

Which faction were you in, on the Grid?

What, how else did you get the overlays loose?

I just gave a good psychic yank to bring Yakumo back to himself. Wasn't anything to it.

There's a coupla places to crash around here. Biggest one's the workshop. Got my restaurant 'n Hajime's for food at least... think there's a few more too. Stuff's ... man. It's a whole lot different since the Grid.

...Heh. Did the old horse impress ya or is that ironic?

[wildmagician]

I think I also have the hang of the trick to change someone back from an overlay. I mean, I once accidentally infiltrated myself, so why wouldn't it work the other way around.

I can also keep an eye out, if no one else is available.
