Hey, it's day two and Liminal Space changed already. I think we're really not meant to stay here for very long. After we finally got a chance to investigate together... I'm not sure who to blame for stuff like this.

[Ahem. He's a bit annoyed. Especially since he's busy rehearsing so his time with Korra is limited.]

About Liminal now... if you ever wanted to feel like a comic book character, now's your chance. I think I'll stay out of there for now.

...Like a comic book character?

[rustyhonesty]

I stepped into a panel that looked like one from a comic book and I was suddenly a black and white figure styled in the way the panel was styled in...

It was crazy.

[claudiometer]

[After a few moments of silence, a snort of laughter escapes onto the network. Claudia's not laughing at Jean, though.]

Well, why not reference classic music videos while we're in the peak era for music videos.

[rustyhonesty]

Music video...? What?

[awitchdidit]

...hold on a moment. This could be significant.

You know, there was once a paired Jaunt where time passed faster than the other Jaunt, and we were done in a few days instead of a few weeks. It also happened to involve a festival full of teenagers with no other particular planned events on the horizon.

[rustyhonesty]

You mean the time we went back to DokiDoki no Gakuen, right? I was there too.

[awitchdidit]

Wow, we need to talk more on Jaunts.

But...if Liminal Space is changing this quickly, relative to in-Jaunt time, we could potentially be in the same rushed situation again.

[rustyhonesty]

That's definitely how it seems like. I don't remember if we had a goal back then, but since we're in the World Series now...

It might be a good idea to try and split the investigation to different areas. So that we can cover as much ground as possible. We have quite a few investigators this time around, after all.

[forcechanic]

Does anyone Investigating have that trick for talking between the two? We could ask.

[thornsofmalkav]

I think Lyall can? Someone get him on that.

[forcechanic]

I should really figure it out at some point...

[Since she can do so many other networky things]

[neverfeltthatway]

I can do it.

...Is that all we want to ask them about? I should be able to keep the connection open for a little more than half an hour. But if we're right about how short this jaunt is going to be, this'll be the only time I'll be able to contact them.

[thornsofmalkav]

Oh goddamn it.

[Oddly enough, this only increases her resolve to play hooky from the Jaunt with her boyfriend as much as possible.]

[rustyhonesty]

My feelings exactly.

[unconventionalelf]

Comic book? What's that? Is it funny? [ Poor confused elf still learning modern things.]

Not that I can go back there without assistance yet.

Is this something I should look into while were in this jaunt?

[awitchdidit]

It's an art form that combines sequential images and text to tell stories. Frankly, it'd be the perfect mode of expression if you could somehow attach musical accompaniment to it...

I'm not entirely sure why the English word is "comic" book, though. Only some of them are comedies.

[unconventionalelf]

Oh. Do they do that? With music?

So there are many types of stories told with these comics?

[rustyhonesty]

If you ever need to go to Liminal Space, you can always ask me to open you a portal. If you start to feel overwhelmed, I'm sure Anastasia would love company.

I think it's just a joke played on by the Arcana, not an actual clue to what's happening here. Unless the missing band was swallowed up by a comic book, but I doubt that.

[unconventionalelf]

If I feel threatened this time I will. Though this is not as... intense as the last one.

Seems like these comic book things can be dangerous...

[finalizes]

...Liminal changes a set amount of times during a jaunt?

[Numbers won't help him much, but knowing that they have little time... There's probably no point in even trying to go and find wolves if they're some distance away.]

[rustyhonesty]

Usually once a week or every other week, from what I've observed. I think the last jaunt I investigated in had four or five different ones.

[finalizes]

So we might have only a few days left before this jaunt is over.

[That blows.]

[dontbetoncurry]

Batman isn't there, is he? Wears lots of black, has a bat on his chest, never smiles.

[Yes, Tommy knows his world is LIKE the comics, and there are people from all over so it is best to know if there is a guy who like to beat him up and steal his smokes lurking in the wings.]

[rustyhonesty]

Doesn't ring a bell. Then again, I didn't see anyone else in the comics...

[dontbetoncurry]

So just like panels and stuff then? Not idiots in capes running around blathering about justice?
