synopsychic | Walkabout's for suckers

Nope, sure isn't the jaunt.

[Great, so no art life here and instead they get ...this, whatever this is.]

Seems like a prison and clothes look like that too. ...also seems like some crazy walkabout, no idea if we've ever been in this world before.

Haven't been to enough worlds to make that call. But I feel like we'd have seen a fucking prison camp in the movies we saw with Lovers that one time, so this could be new?

[either way thanks! he hates it!]

You're... Korra, right?

Me neither or at least not as many as some people I know have been but this could be new... Or some time long before we arrived or a long time after that, who even knows when they seem to like throwing everything into the mix.

[She'll deal with it but definitely not her favorite place to be in.]

Yeah, Korra here, hello. ...So, how bad of an idea do you think it would be if I unlock my door and take a look around?

Oh, great. Time shenanigans are on the table again.

[Didn't they do that enough in Questing Country just now?

And also here's another TV show character he knows is a thing hanging around. Great.]

It's only a bad idea if you go and do something stupid. Don't attack the guards, because that will probably mean other people get hurt. Everyone's up and moving so just- don't do anything stupid.

Possibly.

[or less possibly now when Raidou over there can tell the time of their arrival here but uh... very used to time doing weird things.

Haha, she is not used to people knowing her at all here. ]

Lucky us, I'm pretty great at not doing anything stupid in a situation like this these days but sure wasn't a few years ago. So anyway, time to go for a walk and see how that goes and what I can find around here.

We're in a German prison camp during the second world war; the people imprisoned here do menial labor and clean-up after bombings. It's the same world as the Jaunt in Newport, which included spirits and superpowered humans, and if there aren't any here now, there likely will be soon.

[Somebody picked up Infiltrator Knowledge at some point. It is proving to be something of a double-edged sword.]

[There's a long, blank silence from Gil for a few seconds; then a very sharp bitterness.]

Of course. The others all get Harry Potter bullshit and we get fucking Nazis. Perfect.

[And thanks to Infiltrator Knowledge, Raidou now knows what those are. However...]

"Harry Potter bullshit"?

Me and Thorne had this theory that Liminal Space looked like a book series we know. It's like, the most famous book series in our point in time about three kids and their lives at magic school.

I'm surprised she hasn't made it, like, mandatory reading for Travelling actually.

...Mandatory reading assignments probably wouldn't go over well, no matter what they are.

Edited 2018-03-16 06:42 (UTC)

...yeah, honestly.

God, I learned about World War 2 in school, and pretty much all I remember was that it was a bad fucking time for anyone who wasn't a tall white German dude.

I knew of it, but only in passing. I only know about it now because the Arcana saw fit to either dump the knowledge into my head or let itself do that.

[His own timeline isn't there yet. He's not sure he wants to know how events will unfold when the time comes.]

Either way, at least we have the knowledge. It's marginally better than going in completely blind. Just have to find out what exactly we're supposed to do here now.

Hopefully it involves getting out of here.

If it doesn't I'm gonna fucking make it our thing.

...I wonder if they have maps somewhere in this camp.

If there is, it's probably not gonna be somewhere prisoners can see it.

[his tone is completely flat] Fuck yeah, Nazi jailbreak.

Probably not.

[Not that there aren't ways around that, but still.]

Ordinance does get dropped into the camp a fair amount, so it's possible we can use that, too.

If everyone here's got superpowers, we could probably lead a jailbreak pretty okay, right?

[It wouldn't be his first time attempting to murder someone for his own freedom.]

I don't think everyone does, but some of the prisoners likely do. Whether they can currently use them is another question. Captured spirits in particular may not be able to.

I think we've all got enough powers by now to be able to claim we're like. Fifty different superheroes at once.

...Probably.

[Raidou's certainly got enough of them in his arsenal by now.]

Ohh, we're in that world again! [guess who is also a superpowered human with spirit powers too... except that when others here have only one Empowered ability, she could have that along with her other skills.]

...Not that second world war or Germany are things I know anything about, except wars in general and sounds like a bad timing to be here but thanks, great to know where we are.

Yes - we're just decades in this world's past this time. The current year here is 1942.

Whatever the situation, does it call for such profanity? There are ladies present, sir.

I'm Australian, I'm not a gentleman and I'm not gonna make any pretenses about it.

Also we're in a world war two labour camp, that's kind of a big deal.

I've knowledge of it. I once infiltrated as a woman who spent her girlhood in such a place. We can and shall escape, unless it is vital to the unlocking that we remain.

More, knowing Travelers as I do, I have some doubt we will leave such an evil institution intact in our wake. Actions speak louder than words - even crude ones.

[There's a faint growl in his mental voice. Odd, that.]

It'd be my pleasure to help tear this place a new one.
