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.

At least that's something that isn't foreign to me.

I'll look around the city I'm in. if I don't get distracted by the lights on the water [ She means the boardwalk]

The Boardwalk? That's kind of like a -

(There's a telepathic pressure from her; she's grasping for words to describe it to Fantasy Elf from Medieval Fantasyland.)

- a fairground, a permanent one, with games and rides and carnival food. Guys in charge set it up so food is cheap one day of the week and rides are cheap another, you know, like you do.

[ good luck with that!]

They are, a form of entertainment then? Like puppets or bard troupes? Rides? Like exotic animals?"

Games, rides on machines like the Ursa Major rollercoaster, carnival food and music, and a beach on a sea you can swim in!

My world used to have a lot more than it does now, and - well, they made places like the Boardwalk so that travellers would come by and spend money. But it's worth it.

I like swimming. Though the oceans are dangerous back home. Streams and ponds aren't.

I will have to look into this more. Maybe so I don't sound as foolish as I do now.
