Noise to signals.

[truerevelation]

[Is that birdsong on the Jaunt network? To start with, at least, before-]

Right, Piyo, I'm getting there!

[...cheep. chpee? hpeec. chp!]

[A slightly stressed Kanji speaks up again, though hiding it better now-] Uh. Hey. So everyone's... companions've started talkin' nonsense, ain't they? I mean. We all kinda heard Ryo.
Was wonderin' what sorta messages everyone's getting. If it actually means anything... I know that stuff gets cryptic sometimes, but this is kinda ... taking all the cakes. Still. It's got me thinking. Started when the Glatasshole got beaten, right? So what changed there?

...Ow! Peckin' me ain't clear communication either!

Ain't sure this is gonna help all that much, but Rodeo ain't talkin' period. He was startin' t'get the hang 'f it in this form, but now seems like every time he tries, he just... goes an' starts tryin' t'dig a hole in the ground.

[truerevelation]

Huh. Well, doing stuff is still a message. Worth knowing, right?

[otomechapilot]

I got a spirit animal after it broke away from Pain In The Glats that can’t say anything but “Under me.” Like, as a command.

For reasons I need to tell you at some point I’m pretty sure it’s name is Gabriel.

[truerevelation]

So that's two lotsa "...down" sorts of messages. Huh.

Glad it got outta there for ya, though.

[youandyoualone]

Fidelite's current vocabulary has been reduced to a single word: "Treason."

[truerevelation]

Well, that's still pretty low, but ... not the same sorta thing. But ... damn.

[thornsofmalkav]

"Don't worry, it's just me!"

Selene's said that... God, probably a dozen times already.

[truerevelation]

... maybe she's tryin' to make sure you know it's her and not, uh, Charoite's buddy?

[Private in case:]

Or, y'know. Someone pretendin' to be a bunny again.

[Back open:]

Seems a bit straightforward if it is, though. Huh.

[theflyingone]

'You know this already!' Ruya was insistent on giving this as answer to anything said to her.

[ Sigh. ]

Of more interest to me was the Glatisant. 'Searching!' was all it could manage in the short time I managed to speak to it.

[truerevelation]

- hey, you got to talk to the thing? Nice work!

...question is what it's gotta be lookin' for.

[triggerhappytraitor]

[[There is a very brief livestream of a note scrawled in crayon.]]

Garren's been drawing this. He normally only draws pictures or symbols, never letters and numbers.

[truerevelation]

Missing ... R three? One to five... okay, writing cryptic's even weirder than saying it.

[tookashirototheknee]

Spacey's just rolling around going 'spaaaaaaaaaaace'. But then again, that's all the dumb ball's ever done.

[truerevelation]

...well, at least we know he's happy, huh?

[morethanashadow]

[Phillip's response does not have his actual voice attached to it because he is incredibly petty.]

Chara's just saying 'we were the people that we wanted to know.'

[truerevelation]

[Two can play at that game.]

'The people that we wanted to know'. Got it.

[crouching_sin]

Alice keeps saying 'not all one fire'. She's a dragon, but a Cheetah, not a Bruiser. She's also a lizard here.

[truerevelation]

Fire. Huh. Only fire I can think of is the stuff that keeps showin' up in the future...

[flatteries]

I mean, it would depend on what you'd count as "nonsense", but since it seems others have experienced general strange behaviour other than just weird speech..

My own companion seems to either be influenced too or got a particularly stubborn streak out of nowhere, since he keeps telling me to go in the opposite direction every time I move.

[truerevelation]

Probably the first. Dunno if I've seen any of them doing everything the normal way.

[leftbehindagain]

Takara's just gone silent. I think she prefers that to being misinterpreted.

[truerevelation]

Might be why Piyo's gone all to cheep too - hey, quit it!

[chalicejoker]

Boo! Boo!

[He would love to offer more encouragement and input than that, but, well, that's about it.]

Boo!

[truerevelation]

Cheep?

... are we seriously doin' this again?

[whatspringislike]

Orc just keeps saying the name of an old video game character.

[truerevelation]

... what sorta game character? Big, small, some random one you go around collectin'?

[goestoextremes]

'Within' from Naga to me, that sounds kinda.... worrying I guess unless she's somehow talking about my powers but I doubt she is when this seems to be such a common problem.

[truerevelation]

More direction stuff, huh...

[pferdeweibchen]

Anastasia is keeping quiet completely. But Mikasa's overlays Spirit Companion keeps saying 'dust in the wind'.

[photonicfighter]

Rappy's stopped making sense, too! I don't know if I'm relieved he's not the only one, or even more worried than before...

...when he's not making funny chicken noises, he's shouting "Root it out". That... that seems to fit in with the other things, don't you think?

[venetianprince]

Aurora keeps acting really oddly... she's terribly quiet, but once in a while she'll just get super antsy and fluff up and yip, "We're running out!"

I don't really know what it means, and I can usually calm her down after that, but... still, it makes me nervous. Running out of what? Time?

[seasoflight]

Lumina is an ass. He's generally been vague and unhelpful since I found him, but there is something he keeps repeating.

"Curtains, not stars." Not sure what that's about.

Ah, by the way- I'm Felih. Have we met?
