Oh hey, look who got ditched (Main Jaunt Network)

[all_onis_are_true]

Ah, if I could possibly get somebody's attention?

I was... briefly sidelined for a bit, and when I came back to Liminal Space, it seemed most of the people here had already moved out on a Jaunt. Is there something I should be doing in a situation like this? I must admit I am a little, ah... confused at the moment. Perhaps I could be watching over something for somebody if worst comes to worst?

I would have stuck around and made sure that their pack was safe for a while. Which includes making sure that there's enough game in the area, or that they have enough to eat otherwise.

[thornsofmalkav]

... oh. I guess that sort of counts.

[Look, he's a good teen dad!

...Also this is probably the best outcome that he can hope for with her so he'll leave it at this.]

[all_onis_are_true]

The situation sounds troubling either way. I do wish I had not missed the beginning of this incident.

[all_onis_are_true]

[...Witches, huh?]

You would not per chance happen to know a young girl by the name of Maria, would you?

[awitchdidit]

My apprentice, and my ward for the duration of this game or until her majority. Whichever comes first, at this rate.

That is, if you're speaking of the truly youthful one and not the Englishwoman politely referred to as a young lady. I've only spoken to that Maria on a Jaunt.

[he is going to kill Bob]

Just the usual anticipation of meeting a celebrity. If you watched the memory, then you'll know that it faded quite promptly when it became apparent that it was only Kinji.

[cloudpotter]

You needn't put any effort into it. Just wait until someone of an appropriate age approaches him, and you'll see.

We might have an actual serial kidnapping going on for whatever reason. I met a young girl in the backstage who said she saw the Symul... something band got abducted. Of course I can't be sure if she's making stuff up or not, but she did tell me what the woman who was part of the kidnapping looked like. And it seems she's still around here somewhere.

The problem is, she apparently looks very much like many other concertgoers. Black jeans and tank top, black messy hair... though she is a bit older than a teenager it seems.

[rustyhonesty]

The band who vanished was gone before we even got here. I think everyone's first day went mostly for blending in...

[thornsofmalkav]

Dude, it's okay to have a crush on David Tennant. Millions of fangirls do.

[cloudpotter]

Even so, what I feel isn't a 'crush'. [how dare you, it's so much more than that] It's the proper amount of respect and admiration that should be afforded to such an incredible actor.

[all_onis_are_true]

I would assume none of the Investigators have themselves been abducted yet? I have not heard from any in our collation of events at least.

[all_onis_are_true]

And neither an infiltrator nor an investigator. Hmm...

Has there been any common thread among the abducted?

[all_onis_are_true]

I have some experience with the piano if that helps.

[We'll just not count the experience that includes wiping blood off keys with vinegar, mmkay?]

[finalizes]

An "appropriate age"?

[cloudpotter]

Someone within his age range.

[finalizes]

I'm in his age range.

[Mature and not old.]

Re: later in the day

[thornsofmalkav]

Welp, I'm pretty sure this is what we're here to solve now.

[thornsofmalkav]

Who many women and bi-and-gay men think is hot.

[cloudpotter]

You're a child. Even disregarding your actual age, you look no older than a teenager.

[cloudpotter]

Of course they do. No actor is without their charm or appeal; that's how they succeed.

[finalizes]

We're both mature and not old yet, so we're of the same generation.

[Not that he would have any idea how to even start flirting. Romance and its compounds completely elude him.]

[cloudpotter]

That is not the same as being an appropriate age [young man]. You'll need to wait for someone in their early or mid-twenties to approach him.

[finalizes]

Okay.

[And all throughout day 2 and day during the morning and noontime of day 3, Yakumo will get intermittent sensory livestreams of Star (and sometimes Ken) interacting with people that Laughs assumes to be between 20 and 25.

...and then the livestreams stop, and don't pick up again.]
