A Warning [Shortly after liminal change]

[itsananimalthing]

Hey. So noticed somethin' a little off about the tea-rivers or whatever they are. They're in a particular pattern. Pretty much exactly the same pattern as a little town on Earth we went to that almost got us all eaten by tentacle shit-heads.

Think we might need to prep some eldritch defense and memory restoration and shit, if we're goin' back to fuckin' Harrogate. I got both, in case anybody was wonderin' or wanted someone to hit them up with either one once Jaunt gets goin'.

There was a play that drove people crazy.

[helborn]

... Wasn't Hamlet, right? I've heard nasty things about that one.

[fridgeninja]

No. Not Hamlet.

In any case, it's not a good idea to be too specific talking about it.

[helborn]

Bad joke, sorry. Hamlet's got all sorts of bad luck associated with it, and - ... and I should just. Stop talking, shouldn't I?

[fridgeninja]

I understand. It's just not something that it's easy for me to joke about.

[helborn]

... Yeah, sorry. I've got a kind of morbid sense of humor sometimes.

[Filtered]

If we do go back... are you going to be okay?

[Filtered: Protection II]

[fridgeninja]

No.

But it's no good worrying about that, because if we go back, none of us are going to be okay.

[Filtered: Protection II]

[helborn]

Too late, already worrying.

[Let him fuss, Souji.]

We'll deal with it when we get there, right?

[Filtered: Protection II]

[fridgeninja]

In the process, several of us will probably die or be driven crazy.

People think about Jaunts like they're done when we leave, but some of them stay with us.

[Filtered: Protection II]

[helborn]

... Well, we'll just have to do what we can to minimize the damage, right?

All we can do, really, isn't it?

[Filtered: Protection II]

[fridgeninja]

There is one other option. I wasn't here for it, but we've deliberately ended a Jaunt once before.

[breakaleginhalf]

...wow, okay. Fuck this place already.

[He has a lot of feelings on eldritch plays okay]

[fridgeninja]

There were also zombies and a shadow that mutilated people.

[breakaleginhalf]

Zombies are a lot easier to handle, quite frankly. There's about a billion movies explaining various details.

...I got nothing on the shadow, though.

[fridgeninja]

It was probably someone I know. I can ask...

[breakaleginhalf]

If it's gonna bring up more traumatic shit for you guys, don't go doing it on my behalf. I might not have much experience with the whole Harrogate mess specifically, but Fair Folk are the next best thing in my world, so.

I get it.

[fridgeninja]

No. We should find out. It would help if we knew going in.

Trauma's going to happen.

[itsananimalthing]

I already know who the shadow was. Leave it be.

[fridgeninja]

Unless you know we won't face anything like that again, it's still a question we should answer.

[breakaleginhalf]

I know that if I went off and murdered people without any say in it, cos of being a fucking Infilration or playing piece or whatever, I sure as fuck wouldn't want to be reminded of the fact two years after.

[Oh look, he's learned how to growl on the Network. Striking a little close to home here, Souji.]

As long as they're not still murdering people here and now, I'm with Riddick on this one.

[not here either]

[itsananimalthing]

[He knew he liked you for a reason, Gil.]

[fridgeninja]

The other way of being reminded is less pleasant.

But at least one of us is likely to be Investigating when the Jaunt starts, and we can decide then what the best course of action is.

[itsananimalthing]

If he shows up again on the Jaunt, I'll deal with him. But unless he wants to talk about it himself, you get to leave it alone now.

[Riddick is only helpful as long as it doesn't bother his friends, apparently.]

[fridgeninja]

I see.

[Not agreement, not disagreement, but he doesn't say anything more on the subject right now.]

not here

[morethanashadow]

[riddick you're the best.]
