[Walkabout] Check in

[notadisappointment]

... so I guess some of us didn't go to the Grid after all. Instead we're stuck in how many meters of snow? Well, I'm not complaining too much.

Apparently, we're in a country called Finland and it's the year 2006. They've just won... the Eurovision? Whatever that is? And we're at a pretty famous ski resort! I wonder if we were just awarded a vacation or if there's something else going on... well, I'm at least gonna do a lot of winter sports while here.

If anyone needs help with how to snowboard, I'm your man!

So who all do we have here? I'm Yosuke if someone doesn't know.

[notadisappointment]

Well, there's more problems than just the color, really... I'll show you at some point and come sit on your shoulder.

[notadisappointment]

... whatever place is in your world isn't in all the worlds, that's what I meant.

[notadisappointment]

I'd say be careful, but... You'll likely be fine.

[notadisappointment]

I'll definitely do that. It will be hard to pick a favorite after you know the variety.

[notadisappointment]

Haha, got it. Hopefully next time we get a vacation theme, it's not winter vacation.

[starshaper]

O-Ohhh.... Then I'm really glad it was just teasing but everything I said is still true! I guess we'll get to see just how calm this will be.

[Well, calm in terms of no crisis at all or at least just a tiny mini little crisis if there must be one, but a fun and relaxing vacation is always amazing.]

I'd really like that, let's do many fun things together here and back in Liminal and everywhere else too.

[notadisappointment]

No, I meant that he doesn't really exist. I mean, the actual real life Santa Claus. There are plenty of fakers, like the one here, who bring presents in the spirit.

[notadisappointment]

I bet.


Good. I can detect you so I'll come running.

[starshaper]

Don't be too surprised when I'll probably think that you're just a normal owl, maybe, because me making that mistake wouldn't be the first or surprising at all even if everyone won't make the same.

[notadisappointment]

Believe me, I look more like a Pokémon than an actual owl.

[starshaper]

And pokemon are adorable so I'm sure you're too!

[notadisappointment]

Haha. I sure hope so.

[notadisappointment]

Yeah, I agree. I know a few who're likely worried if they're themselves, so it'll be good to contact them.

[starshaper]

Wahhh!! It's not really a matter of hoping when you're adorable all the time and then you turn into a pogemon to make yourself adorable in other form too~!

[starshaper]

... THOSE TWO AREN'T THE SAME THING???

[notadisappointment]

O-Oh gosh, Usagi-chan. You're making me blush. Good thing no one's around to see it where I am.

You're really adorable too, just saying.

[starshaper]

Does that mean I can keep on telling you things like this?? Or does that mean you're alone and want some company??

Thank you!

[notadisappointment]

I'll never say no to company. Especially since I want to explore places and it's boring alone.

[starshaper]

Well, then you need to tell or show me where you are and I'll be there, we can go see places together.

[reincarnatedprince]

[Mamoru chuckles, even if it's only heard live.]

Of course. I hope food pleases you, or you'll need to cook something yourself.

[reallymean]

What winter activities do you think are the most fun?

[Even if there is chaos, if it hasn't already started when they land, there's usually at least a few days to settle in. A few days to have a little fun while learning the lay of the land.]

[reallymean]

And if they're not Infiltrating here.

...Maybe we should do a headcount of our Infiltrators first, so we can let anyone who's worried about a missing friend know if they're here.

[sumofallreds]

It's what us pirates do, after all.

[notadisappointment]

Oh. I've never talked to a real pirate before.


[Unless you count his brief encounter with Jack Sparrow, but it was a long time ago.]

[notadisappointment]

That's a good idea, too. I have a way of detecting others, so I can send out queries and see if they're here... if you have names you want me to check, let me know.
