A tactful time after Rose's yelling session...

[truerevelation]

Alright.

So ... I ain't gotta tell anyone where we are this time, and from the stuff people were sayin' on the network, returning here ain't the biggest surprise anyone's ever had. Even if we did get the red carpet bit... Yeah, this is Questing Country - magical kinda Liminal Space dreamland. The Oracles over at the table are the best guys to ask about what this place is.

But I figure we still need to work out who is and isn't actually us. Except, uh. Wash.

[That was psychic shouting and his ears are still ringing from it somehow, OK.]

So this is Kanji checking in. Give us a yell if you're hearing this? How you're doing, all that stuff. Or if you've got powers up and goin' here... anyone else been species switched, too?

...But, uh. If you see a guy who looks like my plain Hecatite form, that ain't me. That's my old overlay, and I think he wanted his powers back or something. Hell if I know what mine are right now.

I'm still myself. I don't seem to have my powers back, and I don't see Gorgon-Souji-san...

It seems like we don't have to hide anything this time...

Is anyone planning to join the Oracles at the table?

[theflyingone]

I wasn't aware that was something they wished. But I do think the more information we can get, the better.

[fridgeninja]

If not, I can always make my own table.

[theflyingone]

Like a 'I'm a Traveler, come ask me about Travelers' table? I suppose, but do not give them too much information, just enough to allow them to trust you with theirs. The fact remains we were found out, and we can't all choose to escape the Jaunt. We are very vulnerable right now.

[fridgeninja]

That seems like a good reason to work to establish trust.

[awitchdidit]

I'd love to speak to them, but I'm the universe's most obvious Adversary. At least one of them is going to hold back on me.

[fridgeninja]

I'm much more plausible as an upstanding citizen.

Is there anything I should ask on your behalf?

[awitchdidit]

I'll let you know what they don't answer for me.

[thornsofmalkav]

I think I'm too Champion right now for that. We should get an Oracle to do it, though. Maybe Naoki? He's been Traveling for almost three years I think and he's been here before. And, like, he's got a pretty good head on his shoulders.

[fridgeninja]

Naoki-san is perfect for the part, if it's something he'd like to do.

The more I think about it, the more I'd like to do something less official.

[thornsofmalkav]

Good idea. [She likes you, Souji--she has ever since you were willing to eat goo for science--but you are not really the best representative when it comes to this shit? We need Mr Exposition, not Mr All Too Often Cryptic.]




... so I have to ask: did any of the rainbow puffs taste like goo for you?

[She's teasing, of course.]

[fridgeninja]

Not yet.

One of them tasted like a cat treat.

[thornsofmalkav]

Oh my god, Souji. That implies you've actually ate a cat treat before this.

[fridgeninja]

When I was seven I wanted to be a cat when I grew up.

[thornsofmalkav]

... yeah. This accords with everything I know of you. How's it going, by the way?

[fridgeninja]

Questing Country, or growing up to be a cat?

[thornsofmalkav]

Both?

[fridgeninja]

5/7.

But there's still a lot of work to do.

[thornsofmalkav]

Maybe if you get one of those dream bodies here your kitty dreams will come true.

[fridgeninja]

I'm working on it.

[leftbehindagain]

Well, I might as well put my tendency to over-explain to good use.

[thornsofmalkav]

See, that's what I was thinking. You're really good at that stuff, dude.
