rustyhonesty: (Assessing the situation)

A few hours into the Jaunt

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.

My name is Kurusu Akira. Everything is new for me, so I would appreciate any help that anyone is willing to share.

Is there a procedure these "Jaunts" follow?

That shouldn't be too much of a problem. Do we all share information here?

I heard some theories based off our "liminal space." If I have the terms right.

We can't go back to Liminal Space until we're done with the Jaunt. Right?

You'd think they would be more forthcoming if they've pulled us into their game.

Can those portals be used to return to the Jaunt?

I've heard they are usually vague about things.

It sounds useful. [ mental note made. ]

What if we decide to do nothing?

Maybe once we are done here...?

Then all we can do for now is wait to see what move we can make.

We got your back, dude, don't worry.

Right now we're in the gather-information stage, which usually takes several days to a couple weeks... but I'm not sure we have a couple weeks, this time out.

Thank you for taking care of me. [ /smooth manners ]

Is there a way to judge how many weeks we might have?

[Dude why so formal.]

Probably money, for most people, but the big bag of nails incident last jaunt says I have a skewed perspective on that. I also don't have a hang of the deflation from prices I'm used to compared to the ones posted, just that the bus is insanely cheap.

Usually they're four or five weeks. This festival feels like the kind of thing that's usually the culmination of what they haul us in for, and that'll be over in four or five days.

[ He is a honor student in Japan, Claudia. All the formalities. ]

So... we'll have the time up until the conclusion of the festival to complete whatever it is the Arcana want us to do here. We need to act like people who belong here as well.

Have I missed anything?

If we can get a sense of who's competing, whether we want to shift the jaunt for one or the other and if so who, that can be helpful. Or it can just spark a lot of petty squabbling.

Keep your cover story as close to the truth as you can manage without getting into the interdimensional weirdness factor. It keeps things simpler.

Someone I met had a few ideas based off the previous Liminal Space.

[ He will have to keep those guesses from Satonaka-san in mind. ]

Then, being a tourist from Japan won't be hard to play at all.

Oh? I was too busy trying to pin down the time frame.
claudiometer: with books (research-fu: old school)

For where they were sending us. No storage media newer than cassette tapes.

If we know what music is out, we could try to narrow it down based off of release dates. Since we're at a festival...

Looks like there's a music store in town. Still billing itself as a record store, which is really something.

Collector vinyls are still popular even in my time. It might be the same here.

[personal profile] claudiometer 2017-06-19 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
I think this is less 'collector' and more 'primary medium.' Or at least secondary.

[ He meant it more to show that vinyl at least is still used in 2016... ah well. ]

I'll see what I can find at the music store.
