A few hours into the Jaunt

[rustyhonesty]

I've never done this before, but there's a first time for everything.

It's about time to do a check-in to see who are investigating - or at least have an infiltrator persona. My name is Jean Kirstein and... I don't investigate very often.

Apparently, I arrived with an ID that says I'm 21. So I guess age up, or down, is normal in this Jaunt. I also got a surprise guitar and seem to know how to play it...? Anyone else had something like that happen to them?

I won't ask if anyone has an idea of what we're supposed to do, since it's so early on the Jaunt... but it's good to keep your eyes open for any information that seems important.

I wonder if I'm the only one who got a complete make over on their name even without infiltrating...

I have good memories of music from January, which is why I'm also looking forward to hearing what this festival has to offer.

[naturaltwohands]

That could very well be the case. Was it at least a good one?

I have many good memories of January as well. [Chuckles.] That is where my parents—ah, my father and stepmother—were married.

[rustyhonesty]

It's alright. Johan Kirk, at your service.

I remember. Orion was at the party as well. That's where I got my mark.

[naturaltwohands]

Johan Kirk. A fine name if I say so myself.

[Drizzt chuckles after a pause to reflect on what that means.] Yet another has received their mark because of me, it seems. Do I owe you an apology as well?

[rustyhonesty]

Because of you? I think I missed that part.

Anyway, it's not a big deal. I can live with being marked by her. In the end, I don't feel like it matters all that much.

[Drizzt waits a bit until he's certain that Entreri has infiltrated to respond.]

It is a long story, but the wedding was one of the results of my being arrested for attracting the suspicions of an overly paranoid enforcer.

[rustyhonesty]

Oh. I did wonder afterwards the reason, but I didn't think on it too much. It's not like I'm all aware of relationships around me.

[He could be if he got a favor skill.]

[naturaltwohands]

Neither of them shout to the heavens about their marriage or how it came to be, so it is no wonder.

[That would be hilariously awkward.]

[rustyhonesty]

... I can really imagine either of them shouting out, but it's amusing to try and imagine at least.

[naturaltwohands]

If my father is ever shouting, it likely means you should run.

[rustyhonesty]

Now that I can imagine.

[naturaltwohands]

My father does not get that angry that often.

[rustyhonesty]

That's pretty much the image I've gotten from him. Though he was pretty angry at Lovers, which I definitely can't blame him for...

[naturaltwohands]

Yes; I could not blame him, either. At least Elphaba has returned to us.

[rustyhonesty]

Yeah.

It sounds like you have a nice family.

[naturaltwohands]

... Indeed, I do!

[rustyhonesty]

I'm sort of jealous. It's been a while since I've properly been with my own family. Not that, I have the best relationship with my parents...

[Well, it's better than it was once.]

[naturaltwohands]

Even a short span of time is can be difficult to be away from family you love. You do not always have to get along with them to miss them dearly.

[rustyhonesty]

Try two years. At least I do consider my friends here to be a family as well.

[naturaltwohands]

That is indeed a long time. My sympathies.
