Open to All Investigators-Beginning of Digital Frontier Jaunt

[purseownerisme]

For those who are experiencing this for the first time, don't worry. Just keep calm and listen to this message.

If you're hearing this, you're what we call an investigator: someone who retains their memories from their home and other worlds if they have them while in a Jaunt. Some of us have blended in with the setting and are called Infiltrators; don't try and jog their memory back otherwise we'll be in a lot of trouble. They also cannot use the network we're on right now.

What we need to know now is who's not thinking they're a program and what they have noticed so far. Anything will help us try and figure out a way to solve this next issue.

[Wait, what.]

That's not possible.

[turbedon]

Trust me, it's so possible it gets annoying how possible things are around here.

Of course that doesn't mean get homicidal and kill everyone you recognise. For one, that's a surefire way to get caught as an outsider or as a maniac. The locals might arrest you or kill you for it.

For another... not everyone comes back. Some of us have disappeared over time.

[seestheworld]

Unfortunately, yeah.

[betrayedblade]

Pardon, Zatanna. But could you truly create a disguise that would permit you to blend in with any crowd here?

[sasaeng]

Not exactly new. More like... newly returned? Something like that. I guess I've been gone a lot longer than I realized.

[thanks, trumps or whoever for that!] I'm Yoorae. Yoon Yoorae!

[wantedittobeagame]

...that's what the Internet is for?

Anyway, I'll stick with you this Jaunt. Wouldn't want either of us to end up in the Recycle Bin or something...

[foreveralawn]

Okay.

[after a brief silence]

Um...I t-think I figured some of it out. We're...supposed to have a, um...a p-priority? Like, it's supposed to be, um...a part of us. Innate? So it's, uh, r-really weird that we d-don't even know what those are. It seems p-pretty important to this guy I'm t-talking with...

That d-doesn't really explain the g-green guys, though...

[turbedon]

Black and white. Maybe I'll get colour-tinted if I manage to join any of the Factions?

[turbedon]

Zee can conjure up any outfit she wants, provided her magic isn't cancelled out here.

[backwordscompatible]

...yeah, basically what he said.

And, if nothing else, I could always try going invisible.

[backwordscompatible]

Yeah? Which ones are you considering?

[backwordscompatible]

I'm always careful.

[...not always.]

[purseownerisme]

Maybe for you.

That might be the best for now until we can figure out what to do next.

[purseownerisme]

Flying pants?

[purseownerisme]

Great, why am I getting the feeling of a rebellion soon?

[purseownerisme]

Personally I'm playing the 'I forgot who I am card'. Being in this type of setting is out of my comfort zone.

Don't know about anyone else though...

[purseownerisme]

The green guys?

[foreveralawn]

When we woke up... They were t-there too. Not many of them. They were in the, um, the tubes. Not sure there they c-came from, but they m-must be important because...I recognized some of them, I'm p-pretty sure.

[turbedon]

Not sure it's even possible to join the Greens, they seem inaccessible. The Reds seem accessible but challenging - they don't seem the type to just let anyone in. I guess that leaves the Blues-

Hey, RGB. Of course.

[notinthecards]

[He projects an image of one of the four large vehicles surrounding the site over the telepathic network.]

[abweichend]

It's as good a story as any.

[He may wind up doing the same thing, who knows? He'll work something out as he goes, probably.]

From what I've seen they don't seem to trust the people in green or blue much either, so we aren't the only ones on their shit list. Three against one, if you're looking at it that way.

[Not that he's suggesting inciting a rebellion or anything, just... Throwing it out there as a possibility. They're sent to place to solve problems and that's a pretty big problem, if it's what's going on here.]

[backwordscompatible]

[It took her a second; she wasn't quite up to date with all her computer-themed jokes as she probably should brace herself to be for this Jaunt.]

Cute.

...I wonder if we could make other colors by getting different groups to work together

[turbedon]

Not sure. I mean, technically right now we've got the Blue and Red teams working together but I'm not seeing any flashes of purple forming.

[wantedittobeagame]

Hey, I need to do something while Sayoko-chan is off doing her nursing aid in other countries.

All right. Don't worry, I'll look after you.

[backwordscompatible]

Too bad. I like purple.

[She certainly wore it often enough.]
