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?

The young girl, yes. She is... rather enthusiastic about her particular area of knowledge.

[And he's pretty sure he'd have been more of a jerk about it if she hadn't come to him in the middle of Liminal Space.]

You must be "Beatrice" then.

[awitchdidit]

She's a true gem of a student. Half the time, I'm the one learning.

And yes, I am Beatrice, the Witch Who Got Bored of Listing Her Titles Like Six Months Ago. I should really try getting a new one...

Anyway, it's a pleasure to meet you, although I believe my Overlay worked with you in Achaia.

[awitchdidit]

Oh good, we're dealing with crime. I was worried we weren't going to get any direction.

Did your witness give a name, or can you describe what she looked like?

[thornsofmalkav]

And that's why you have a crush on him.

[cloudpotter]

No. Have you been listening at all?

[thornsofmalkav]

... look, his memory sure smelled like you had a crush.

[all_onis_are_true]

She did, yes.

[She freaked him out. Too many monsters.]

I will admit that prior to my arrival here, I would not have been willing to entertain the idea of witches. I feel I lack any sort of grounding to do so in this situation, however. Therefore, I will simply say that it is a pleasure to meet you properly.

Well, so far it has just been the one band. The girl wanted to make sure all bands know and be careful, which is why she talked to me in the first place.

Now with Jesse from Shooting Stars gone missing as well... could the targets be musicians?

[rustyhonesty]

Yeah. I'll be on the look out as well as I can... my band's performing tomorrow, so I can't actively help until afterwards.

[rustyhonesty]

No name, but as I said... just black clothes and black messy hair. There was also a man with her and they had guns. The man hasn't been around since though.

[all_onis_are_true]

I see. Incidentally, that description...

[He blinks for a moment as a sudden flash runs through his mind. That deja vu all over again... Hmm.]

...I would like to propose something that no doubt is extremely foolhardy, if I may.

[thornsofmalkav]

You'd be physically here at least.

Okay. I'm going to need done more person to help so we don't have to wait the six hour cooldown between portals, but once I have them I'll come and get you.

[all_onis_are_true]

I appreciate it, thank you.

[meanballerina]

It might. I wonder if they've got anyone on keyboard yet...

[awitchdidit]

It takes stubbornness of an epic level to call "special effects" on something like Liminal Space. Even the most magically-resistant man in the world could only keep that up for a few hours, tops.

The world of humans is hostile to magic, and Witches therefore hide their art with cleverness. Here, and in other places hidden to most ordinary human beings, no such artifice is necessary.

[awitchdidit]

Even in America, guns at a concert seems quite suspicious. They're certainly up to no good, and probably dangerous to approach directly.

If she's a Traveler, though...that would at least narrow down the list of suspects.

[thornsofmalkav]

That's legit. I mean, it's the same with my boyfriend and everyone else in Kanji's band.
