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.

[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.

[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]

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

[rustyhonesty]

My feelings exactly.

[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.

[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?

[forcechanic]

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

[Since she can do so many other networky things]

[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.

[awitchdidit]

Moving things along quickly would surely be beneficial. I'm aware of the park, the town, and the city as far as easily reached geographical areas. This being America, we could hypothetically take a freeway anywhere, but nothing in the news is standing out beyond the local.

Is there anywhere around here I'm missing?

[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.

[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]

Uh, ask them how long they've been there? Where they are? If it looks like there's something they have to fix yet? We should probably figure which of us are in the actual competitive Jaunt and which are on the walkabout.

... and thanks. For using your crazy mindskills for good. [And not bad.]

[rustyhonesty]

That's a strange thing to thank about.

[Especially the phrasing.]

[rustyhonesty]

Music video...? What?

[rustyhonesty]

I haven't looked around more than the park and the festival area. Joining a band sort of limits my moving around. But I can definitely keep an eye on things backstage and general festival area.

[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.

[awitchdidit]

Let everyone know if you hear anything else about the band who went missing. I heard about that because Maria was involved in their replacement, but no one I've run into has a clue what actually happened to them, and this seems like a Jaunt where even simple mysteries are going to be important.

[thornsofmalkav]

... yes, well, I want to encourage him not to fall back into any bad habits.

[thornsofmalkav]

Do you think maybe that's what we're supposed to do here, Bea? Find them?

[unconventionalelf]

Oh. Do they do that? With music?

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