Is, uh, is this thing on?

Okay. Hi, my name's Jason, and I'm a... whatever.

It sounds like most of you have been doing this a while, but a bunch of people showed up the same time I did. That's routine for you guys. And that's great.

Anyway, if you're new here and you're still trying to figure it out, I thought we could have a meeting. Just the people who are new enough that none of this is normal yet.

I'm going to need somebody's help - somebody experienced - to set up a meeting place for us. But that's it, okay? I know I need some space to work things out, and I'm betting I'm not the only one.

I'm pretty sure you can all get in touch with me by thinking in my general direction, so, let's do this.

I don't need to know how they work in theory. I only need to know how to use them, if they're there and I can use them. Or how to sabotage them.

You're going to run into variations you've never seen before when we travel to different universes. If you know how the general category works, you can use that to figure out how to use them.

[That might be a good point.]

...Will that learning include books and writing and stuff?

[haveabiscuit]

Most of the book talk is because the Arcana like to send us messages by referencing that sort of thing in Liminal Space.

...But we can skip the book parts, right?

[haveabiscuit]

I really recommend taking it. We don't want Thorne to be the only one who can tell us the entire Liminal Space is a reference to the works of TS Eliot.

[Technically she can't make anyone go. And yet they do.]

[...They adopt stories into the spaces that they land the Travellers in. That makes sense.

And it's probably helpful to know the stories so that you know what to expect from them. BUT.]

Not everyone needs to be able to do everything. If a few people know those things, then they can tell the others.

[haveabiscuit]

It's useful to get as broad a base of knowledge as possible though. We have no predicting when people will vanish here.

Plus that way you don't have to wait for other people to figure it out for you.

...Don't you have a trid library here that I could watch instead?
