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.

I'm still me. Mothman's form's been changed, but he's still himself, too. I'm thinking the Trumps probably physically changed us, too - otherwise, food might be an issue.

[purseownerisme]

Glad to know you're okay Minako.

With all this talk about programs and codes, it makes me wonder what exactly we're in right now.

[seestheworld]

A computer, maybe? Or something computer-like.

[purseownerisme]

The one place where I know I'll screw up in.

[seestheworld]

I've got to admit I'm worried about that, myself.

[Seriously, this seems like something tailored more to Fuuka's strengths. Or Aigis'.

[purseownerisme]

I'm going with the idea of playing dumb at some of the stuff. Drama club was good for something.

[seestheworld]

You did drama club?

[Which is really not the important thing here, but it's better than stressing about computers right now.]

[purseownerisme]

Yeah, it was that or band. Sometimes it has helped me out during an investigation.

What about you? Did you do anything like that?

[seestheworld]

Not drama, no. Mitsuru-senpai had me join Student Council instead.

[Well, technically Mitsuru had asked, but saying no was generally not a thing one did to Mitsuru at that point. Not in SEES, anyway.]

[purseownerisme]

That's still a huge thing.

Did you like it?

[seestheworld]

Yeah, I did.

[Once Hidetoshi calmed down.]

[purseownerisme]

Heh, when I get back maybe I should look into it.

[seestheworld]

It did have its share of drama.

[flatteries]

... Mothman?

[ Excuse him, but that just sounds.. weird.. what is that, something that's half-month, half-human?! That just sound freaky. ]

[seestheworld]

Um... yes? He showed up during the last Jaunt...

[flatteries]

Is that a...

[ .. how does he even word this while trying to sound diplomatic about it. ]

.. a friend of yours?

[seestheworld]

He was a mascot - is a mascot - like some of the other students had.

[flatteries]

Oh, like those small things? [ He remembers seeing Yua's Persona that small too.. ]

Is it looking again like that during this Jaunt?

[seestheworld]

No, he's been changed to - I'm not sure what he's supposed to be, honestly. He looks kind of like a floating polyhedron.

[She's not sure how best to explain it to Inigo, since she's guessing he's never seen or heard of Tron.]

[flatteries]

A flying..

[ ..

Give him a moment. He's certainly no Laurent. ]

I shall have to take your word for whatever that might be. I have to admit I am rather the odd one out in these kind of surroundings, although I have been trying to blend in..

[seestheworld]

[Oh dear.]

You've seen dice, right? Or other cube-shaped things? Those are a type of polyhedron. Mothman's got a lot more sides than a cube, though. Or at least, he does here.

[flatteries]

Ah, yes. I do know what those are. [ Even if he's imagining some sort of twenty-side dice now.. floating after a person.. that just sounds weird. This whole Jaunt is weird, as far as he's concerned, and he's already seen a lot of shit by now. ]

Are you sure that.. Mothman of yours is alright though, being forced into such a shape? It does not exactly sound comfortable.

[seestheworld]

Well, he's definitely not happy about it, but beyond that it's hard to say.

[She does sound a little worried, though.]

[flatteries]

Perhaps we could take a look at it together? Two minds might be able to figure out more than one.

[ Even if he's technologically challenged. But it just means he can look at it from a different angle, okay.. ]

[seestheworld]

[Hey, it couldn't hurt. Right?]

Sure.
