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.]

["Gone", huh? ...Interesting.]

What do you mean by 'gone'?

[Armin had mentioned 'dungeons', or something like that, he's pretty sure, so if Levi had to guess he'd assume it has something to do with that; if that's the case, he wants to find out a little more about what that means for the people stuck there. You know, so he's not completely ignorant.

Whether that's the case or not, though, he's curious. And bored. There isn't even anything to clean, what kind of hell is this?]

[inexecution]

Not that I know of... If anyone does know, they haven't mentioned it to me, anyway.

[Near is still somewhat uncomfortable at the invasion of his mind this all signifies, but ignoring such a useful communication tool would surely be detrimental.]

Something would have to be rather impressive to qualify as strange, then, if this is considered to be normal.

[fridgeninja]

Well. It's better to be back here where I can do some good, at least.

[fridgeninja]

It seems I've been in a maze for the last six Jaunts.

[fridgeninja]

... This is going to take some adjusting to.

[capital_asset]

Perhaps it would be better to start by just reassuring them that they are not in danger or going insane?

[He'd almost said "in danger at the moment," but that would probably be less helpful.]

[surveyor]

A maze? Where?

[fridgeninja]

That's a little difficult to describe.

[surveyor]

...Try.

[fridgeninja]

The entrance was in Liminal Space, but it vanished behind me. And it exited right here, but I can't seem to find the exit anymore either. It seemed as if I was there for two or three days, but it seems to have been six months.

... There were windmills and ferris wheels?

[surveyor]

[Missed connection with the ferris wheel; he'd napped on one, sure, but fuck if he remembers what it was called. False memories aren't the most reliable, apparently.]

So it was connected to this place, somehow... Was anyone with you?

[fridgeninja]

No, not really.

[surveyor]

What's that mean?

[If he sounds a little impatient, it's because he is. That could be where Eren'd ended up, if he didn't return to their world. And that matters. Stupid brat's probably causing all kinds of trouble, regardless...

There's concern in there somewhere, make no mistake.]

[fridgeninja]

I'm reasonably sure they were all inside my head.

[knightceties]

[Intros and information are all well and good, but Ace has more pressing questions on his mind.]

It's a loop?!

[surveyor]

[...Huh.]

Hallucinations?

[hakodate]

Half a year and half a dozen jaunts, give or take.

[And you just walk back in here and go "sup" all cool like it ain't even a thing. SHAKIN' HIS HEAD AT YOU...]

[kamiizumi]

I walked a couple circles, so that sounds about right to me.

I don't think the physics make much sense, but...they usually don't, here.

[knightceties]

Ehhhhhh...but...I walked and walked for a really long time and didn't recognize anything...

[inexecution]

I'm not going to argue. Things have been a little rough, lately.

[inexecution]

I kind of like it. It makes it easy to find people.

[You just had to... keep walking, and you were bound to catch up with them eventually. Even if he wasn't actually up to walking himself. Hence the psychic chatter, really. Made life simple.]

[inexecution]

[It's okay, Near. They're mostly harmless, really!]

You must have missed the bouncy castle, then.

[inexecution]

A realllly big one!

[Yeah, that's okay. Explanations can happen any time. Big loop trains are clearly a more pressing subject matter]

[solvethepuzzle]

[When your brain is your only real asset, the idea that something is screwing with it isn't very nice.]

I'm afraid so; I've only recently arrived. What a thing to miss. [He actually doesn't care. But he may have at least entertained himself in the ball pit.]
