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'.

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.

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

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

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

[Welp.]

Do you know how they did it?

[Filtered: Protection II]

[fridgeninja]

They went on strike.

It didn't end terribly well for either us or the Arcana.

What was the result?

[fridgeninja]

More than half of the Travelers there were tossed onto Odysseys or into Dungeons.

It's possible that's when one of the Arcana died.

I'd rather you didn't mention the second half to anyone. We could be wrong about that.

What's an Odyssey? ... Other than the obvious.

And... huh. That's... interesting. But I won't mention it.

Before groups of us went on walkabout together, sometimes one of us would vanish for months at a time, passing through multiple worlds and returning with only a vague memory of what happened to them. Back then, it was called going walkabout - now we say 'Odyssey' so we don't confuse the two.

Oh. Huh. That's weird. Any idea why people didn't remember?

[Filtered: Protection II]

[fridgeninja]

I don't think we've ever been sure if those places were real, or some kind of Liminal dream.

... I wasn't, when I had mine.

[helborn]

That... sucks. I'm sorry.

[Because what else can you say to that?]

It was a long time ago.
