A day or two into return Liminal

[papacerberus]

Lupa here. I have been working on an idea with others including-- Thorne, and I believe I've finally mastered the stronger version of bridging to other spaces in order to test it properly.

My idea is that we might be able to get to worlds of past jaunts, if we can create a powerful enough bridge. Souji suggested Summoners or Necromancers, but I think it can also be accomplished with an established connection to a past world. I believe things like Pogemon partners, or Spirit Companions would count, for examples, and perhaps also skills or items that are closely interwoven with the fabric of their worlds.

I have Assist myself, but I believe we'll need several Assists to get the power to do this, and I know that there are other ways to increase the potency of skills, or pool resources among us.

Who wishes to make this attempt with me? It would be helpful if you can also give us an idea of what you can do, but I won't exclude anyone who wants to come, as long as we can take you. I don't think I can bring more than a handful with myself.

There is also the question of which world we should try to visit. Questing Country was mentioned last time, but I believe a return there should wait. Another option that was discussed was the Pogemon world, but I don't think we're limited to just those two.

I think in terms of going and safely returning before the next Jaunt that we should plan on doing it as soon as Liminal changes and new Travelers arrive. We'd be guaranteed a few days worth of time then.

[vorenado]

Yes, as long as I know what I am shifting to. I cannot mimic abilities, only the way they look. I spent a lot of time as a rabbit when we were in Yensid. Stonefolk as well, though less often.

[papacerberus]

[Thoughtfully]

Since it is a Pogemon's skill, it might count as a connection to that world, but I believe it's worth experimenting with, if you're willing to aid our cause.

[vorenado]

I have no reason not to help. If this succeeds, it could be the first step in finding a way home for those who wish to leave.

[papacerberus]

That is one reason I want to do this. The other is why should we be so restricted in where we go? There are places I would like to go back to, and learn more about.

[vorenado]

The restriction I can only surmise is a display of power on the part of the Arcana. They may not react well to the loss of that power.

[papacerberus]

I'm prepared for that negative reaction.

[That's said heavily, because Lupa can imagine the Arcana being upset.]

And will shoulder the burden of punishment if need be. This is too important to step back from out of concern over pushback, though.

[And he carries a trace of Spartoi!Lupa in his tone when he says that.]

[vorenado]

You must remember that you are not going to be given the choice to take whatever that punishment may be. The arcana have never worked that way, so there is no cause for self sacrifice.

[papacerberus]

[That makes Lupa hesitate. But on the other hand he's still determined.]

I'll make sure everyone involved is aware of the risks then. I'm fairly certain they wouldn't punish all Travelers for the actions of a small group.

[vorenado]

A leader should never be certain, fairly or otherwise.

-=he's not trying to talk him out of it, just being tactically contrary=-

[papacerberus]

Point taken.

[There’s a bit of dryness to his tone, because Lupa understands what Gale is doing and is… he’ll go with touched. But at the same time, projecting confidence even when there isn’t is something a Leader must do.]

We can only prepare for any eventuality.
