Immediately after the Jaunt starts

[dino_zarf]

[There's barely enough time to take in the surroundings before a very insistent and very young voice blasts into every INvestigator's mind at great volume]

Where.

Is.

My.

DADDY?!

[thornsofmalkav]

Oh shi-- shoot, Rosie. Did he Infiltrate without you?

[It was going to happen sooner or later, but man. This has got to suck for her.]

[dino_zarf]

I can't find him in my head and he's not answering!

[thornsofmalkav]

Oh no.

Um. Are you going to be okay for the next couple hours? Because I have some stuff I need to work on, but as soon as I'm done with that, I can probably help you look for your daddy?

But if you can find someone else to help you before that, don't wait up for me.

[dino_zarf]

I don't know. Daddy's always there. Or Mama, before.

[thornsofmalkav]

Yeah. Um. Unless one of the other older Travelers comes to you, just sit tight where you are and wait. I'll look for you as soon as I'm done with this thing I'm about to do.

[dino_zarf]

Investigators only. People who can find him.

1/2

[thornsofmalkav]

Yeah. I don't think Infiltrators can help with this.

Okay. I'm going to have to concentrate for a while, Rosie, so I can do this thing, but I'll let you know as soon as I'm done.

2/2

[thornsofmalkav]

[It's quite some time before Rosie will hear Thorne again.]

Okay! And I'm done. How are you doing, Rosie? Is Wash there yet? Can you show me where you are now?

[dino_zarf]

I found him, I got him back to normal. We're having snacks now.

[She does show her a stream of her current location: sitting eating picnic food with a brightly coloured sleeve suggesting she's in Daddy's lap.]

[thornsofmalkav]

Oh good! So you can de-infiltrate people now and restore their memories?

[dino_zarf]

I can! So I don't have to worry about Daddy being stuck as somebody else.

[thornsofmalkav]

That's really great, Rosie! I'm proud of you! Do you think you'll learn how to half-infiltrate too or can you do that already?

[dino_zarf]

I never needed to try. But I can find out about the world by listening to it so I probably could.

[thornsofmalkav]

You're really smart about this stuff, Rosie! [Seriously, she's honestly impressed.] You should let us know whenever you learn to do new things. [Just in case the baby gets ahead of everyone else in skills.]

[dino_zarf]

It's easy if you know how to think about it! I can tell you all about it.

[thornsofmalkav]

I'd love to hear about it! And how you think about stuff. Growing up in liminal space must mean you think about stuff differently that people like us who didn't.

[dino_zarf]

Gravity is stupid. And it's way easier to just send everything in our heads.

[thornsofmalkav]

Well yeah. I bet you can't talk half as well with the mouth sounds.
