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.

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!! ]

[hakodate]

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.]

[tealeafs]

[ 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. ]

[hakodate]

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.]

[tealeafs]

.. 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. ]

[hakodate]

...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.]
