Open to All Investigators-Beginning of Digital Frontier Jaunt

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.

Still me. Haven't had the chance to find the rest of mine, though.

[Because recently he's suddenly got twice as many from home to keep track of again, and he can already feel the headache coming on.]

[Good to hear from him again.]

It's possible that they may be in another area of the world.

Yeah. Anyone got an idea of how much territory we're working with here, yet?

Not yet.

It could be bigger than any other places we've been to yet. Usually we're in only a small section or town. Even in Austin we only managed to stay within the downtown area.

If it's bigger than Dolorosa I think we owe the Trumps a kick in the balls.

[Spreading out to keep track of things happened across an entire kingdom was kind of crap.]

I haven't been there but I don't think a kick to the balls will cover it.

Also, we should be careful when it comes to the three main groups. I've heard from others that things are tense.

Nothing like picking one lead to follow and then getting a panicked request to come help with someone's shit half a kingdom away.

[Portals helped. Some.]

Wouldn't be a jaunt if we weren't smack in the middle of someone else's drama.

...yeah I'm calling it now: Trumps are assholes.

[SIGH. Glad she was normal this time again, dealing with rebellions and drama where she could think clearly and normally was better.]

And it seems the drama might get bad. Hopefully it won't come to that.

At this point, I'll take anything short of bullets flying as "better than it could be."

Yeah, I rather not face bullets anytime soon.

[Fear of guns here. THANKS ADACHI YOU GIANT DICK.]

[Hijikata's first time getting shot could be summed up as "didn't hurt as much as he thought it would," but nonetheless, it's not an experience he considers worth repeating.]

I guess in a place like this, it's probably more like lasers or some shit, anyway.

I rather not find out.

But I wonder how swords will look.

If the rest of this glowy shit is any indication?

[PRETTY BADASS, RIGHT?]

Pretty ridiculous.

[...leave it to the Fun Police.]

Maybe but we won't know until we see it.

So maybe I'm wrong and I won't have to be completely disappointed in this place's ability to do anything remotely stealthy.

I think I saw Heisuke-kun.. [ But that's the keyword here - saw. As if Chizuru would usually spot one of the Shinsengumi and just let them walk around without checking up on them to make sure they're alright.. ]

He didn't seem like himself though, so I haven't spoken to him yet.

[ Don't worry, waifu's on top of this to help Hijikata with keeping track of the ducklings. ]

One down, then. As long as we know he's around and in one piece, we can defer conversation until we know what the hell to say without looking like we're crazy.

[he does not deserve such a good waifu. ;; ]

Yes, I think other people might be able to handle it a lot easier.. [ Since this all looks very.. technology-y, and Chizuru knows they've got a disadvantage on that from the very start, no matter how many Jaunts they've already been stuck in over time. ]

I hope Okita-san, Harada-san and Ibuki-san didn't get themselves into trouble.

[ She's leaving out Saitou, since..

.. well, Saitou and getting into trouble. You know. ]

If we don't hear from them here soon, we might have to go drag them out of some.

[Look at this staggering amount of faith in his ducklings.

Except Saitou. Saitou's cool.]

[ .. honestly, Chizuru has no idea what she can do against whatever they might face in such an unfamiliar sort of setting, but even so, it's almost second nature to just-- ]

I-I'll help..! [ Shinsengumi means family, and family means no one gets left behind!! ]

I know you will.

[He knows she'd find some damned way to try even if he tied her to a chair and left her in Liminal Space.]

[ At least he knows by now. ]

It's not like I could leave you to do that all by yourself..

[ They're married now, after all. It's just one more thing counting against his tendency to deal with shit himself. ]

Not sure there's anything you'd leave me to do by myself, at this point.

[There was a time when he might've said this in a way that sounds like a complaint, but there's none of that now. It's warm...almost grateful.]

.. well, it's usually for the better.

[ Right, mister "oh sure, go chomp off my leg".. ]

There's too many people counting on me being the one to do that. [ Every single person who asked her to take care of Hijikata -- right before they died, most of the time. ]

...yeah.

[He knows exactly which people she means.

...and even if the memory still hurts, he doesn't want to see her break her word to them, either.]
