Doing that veteran thing...

[inexecution]

Did anyone else notice the train seems to loop back on itself?

[That sudden psychic broadcast is brought to you with a great deal of excitement, because of course it is. For those new Travelers who didn't already get an introduction via Joscelin, welcome to the Psychic network! Confusion is to be expected. It's okay, Souji's got your back.]

And I saw some new faces while I was walking around, so, hello! This is probably confusing, but don't worry. You can ask pretty much anyone here for help, we're used to it by now. I'm Souji, by the way. [Well, one of them, anyway...] Don't worry. This is all perfectly normal. [...ish.]

...I've giving it about thirty seconds before someone calls you out on this being considered "normal". [ pause. ] Or questioning how sound the "don't worry" advice is.

We definitely are here to help, though. Everyone starts the journey as a Fool, so don't be afraid to ask questions or demand answers or whatever.

Testing.

Given how many new faces I see, and how many people I don't, I'm guessing I've been gone awhile.

[purseownerisme]

Echo echo!

[Yua don't troll.]

I can hear you.

[fridgeninja]

Good.

We don't seem to be on a crashing space station anymore.

[purseownerisme]

...long from that one.

Last I heard it was zombies in Texas.

[fridgeninja]

I'm sorry I missed it.

[purseownerisme]

Don't be. It was awful.

[fridgeninja]

Well. I'm sorry I wasn't there to help.

That is, if we were allowed to help this time.

[purseownerisme]

From what I heard, it was a bunch of cops herding us in the hotel we were staying in. When they were getting us away, I ended up in another dungeon so I don't know what happened next.

[fridgeninja]

The dungeons are a little obnoxious.

[inexecution]

This is normal! For Liminal Space, at least... [But okay, he does 'sound' a bit sheepish about it] It was being weird before.

I wonder if we should stop calling them 'fools.' That's not very welcoming, is it?

[inexecution]

Oh!

[Well, there's a surprise.]

It's been awhile...

[fridgeninja]

How long?

[purseownerisme]

I'm in agreement with you.

[fridgeninja]

Well. We're both back now. It sounds like you remember the Spark, but I don't think we were introduced there... it's hard to be sure about before that.

Seta Souji.

[Which she might or might not recall as a name Tim mentioned...]

[inexecution]

You know how time is, but... Six jaunts, I think.

[purseownerisme]

...so I get to hear my male self then. It's not as odd as I thought but then again, meeting an Adachi who can summon Izanagi is out there.

I'm Narukami Yua by the way.

[fridgeninja]

... I'm sorry?

[fridgeninja]

I don't suppose we ever figured out if time passes back home while we're here?

[purseownerisme]

Tim mentioned your name when I changed genders during an Liminal Space.

You never thought what would happen if one world you were born a girl? Well...I'm kind of living proof of that.

[fridgeninja]

... Who's Tim?

[purseownerisme]

I don't know what he does but he seemed to know you by the look he gave me when he saw me.

Probably one of those meetings in other worlds like alternative timelines.

[fridgeninja]

Ah.

In any case, I'm pleased to meet me.

[purseownerisme]

Likewise.

[Or just weirded out that when someone asks if you are talking to yourself, you can point to the person next to you and say you are.]

It's pretty lazy... Maybe they're worn out from whatever the hell was going on with the other place.

[Blah blah channels of power, blah blah violations-- Something big happened before, he's sure of it. NOT SO ALMIGHTY NOW HUH, ASSHOLES?

No, but really-- He's actually pretty interested in this. It's the closest he's seen to an actual development as far as their captors are concerned the entire time he's been doing this Travelling thing. It's Something, and considering the fact that he's stuck on this thing- this train- with nowhere to go and nothing to do but kick his feet up like a heathen and... Chat, apparently, he supposes it's as good a way to pass the time as any.]
