I can confirm that this is definitely Harrogate, though 123 years in the future, the year 2020.

Everyone themselves on the jaunt, check in here. [His acting skills from his overlay here the last time are being used to good effect, as he appears confident and energetic, hiding whatever fear and uncertainty he has about this place.] Who's investigating here, and who have you seen infiltrating? Is anyone themselves but with an infiltrator persona - and if so, what can you tell us of the current situation?

I'd also like to know who has memory restoration - we should coordinate who we turn back into themselves, starting with other people who know memory restoration, so we can affect the greatest number of people. And if you have any ideas of what we should ask people on the walkabout side of things, let me know - I'll likely be contacting them as soon as we start to have things organized and know what's going on over here.

I can help if anyone has more general questions about the customs, culture, or history of this place. Additionally, if you want to know if someone is around on the jaunt, but they're not responding to psychic hails, I can help - as long as they're within about sixty miles of here.

Protected, Level 2

Professional obligation? You a ghost hunter?

[Color Geralt intrigued.]

I'd noticed the shades in attendance, too. Been asking around for more information. I'll put my findings up on the Network when I'm done.

Protected, Level 2

Sort of. I tend more to think of myself as a ghost therapist, but hunter isn't inaccurate. My mother's a goddess of death.

But my father ran a funeral home, so that part, too.

[hatesportals]

... ghosts I usually deal with don't want to talk out their feelings. Most of 'em are too far gone.

[This is Geralt, being skeptical about the whole "goddess of death" thing.]

So I guess it's you and me, then. Convince as many of the sane ghosts as we can to leave the mortal world, and stop the insane ones before they hurt people. Unless you know anybody else around who happens to be a ghost therapist for hire.

[helborn]

I mean, I can fight them, but a lot of the ones I ran into when I was younger were just kind of... having trouble accepting their deaths. I ran into some of the violent ones, but I usually yelled for one of the ghosts I knew to distract them and got out of there.

I got more powers around that as I got older though. So I can handle the worse ones now. But I'm keeping an eye out for them... even if we have to fight them, it might give us an idea of how bad this place is.

[hatesportals]

Fair enough. If you are what you say you are, this could make my job a little bit easier, at least.

Where are you? We should meet before the Network goes down.

[helborn]

Near the bus station right now, though I'm trying to generally follow the crowd.

[hatesportals]

... you, uh. You better follow them faster if they're headed to the graveyard. Something's happening.

[helborn]

On my way. I can't fly there when there's this many people who aren't used to that kind of stuff. People have cameras here, it's not like back when we were in Greece.

[hatesportals]

Camera? Greece?... never mind. Don't wanna know.

It looks like some sort of funeral procession. Who could draw a crowd like this?

[helborn]

... Basically people can record what they see and that's bad if you don't want people to panic. The other part's more complicated.

And... I think it's some sort of celebrity. I'm not sure...

[hatesportals]

Oh, that machine Count Beledal had. The parestisomach, I think he called it.

[Please don't ask. Just... don't.]

Must be, if so many people would bother to show up.

[helborn]

... Sure.

And yeah. We should get going.
