[Walkabout -> Jaunt] Foreward dated to 60hrs into the Jauntabout

[youandyoualone]

Ah, hello? This is Anafiel Delaunay. Did the rest of you make it to the Grid as predicted? There seem to be less of us here, so we assume we are on Walkabout. We seem to have been left at a 'ski resort' called Levi, in a country known as Finland, which is on the peninsula that my world calls Gotland. There are 'men in black' in the ski resort with us, so we are on guard for kidnapping attempts to come.

Some of us, including myself, have been mysteriously transformed into foxes, hounds, and reindeer.

I can pass on messages to any of the others who are there with us. Our numbers include Helena, Yosuke, Korra, Usagi and Mamoru, Allura, Tachibana, Kenzaki and Hajime, Kinji, Keith, Ringabel, Utsusemimaru, Sabetha, Gil, Zed, Captain Marvelous, and Rose Washburn, among others. [Sorry, Inigo, but you didn't give your name at the check-in.]

Ah. Also, does anyone know how Alcuin is doing? As far as I can tell he is with you.

Not the Grid precisely, but very much the same world, yes. It looks like it's a mission to restore another dead system. [So far it's not too complicated. Naoki's not really expecting that to last.]

Did that transformation problem you guys are having divide the network? If it did, save your bridges for that - anyone else who has them, too. If we need something over here I can reach out.

[youandyoualone]

No, we are still on the same Network. 'Tis not as with the Ghosts of Harrogate--we are in the same place as the others. We are just... furrier.

[leftbehindagain]

Well, that's one less complication, at least.

[youandyoualone]

Indeed.

... have you seen Alcuin? [Sorry. Just. He worries a little.]

[leftbehindagain]

I haven't, no. He's here somewhere, I can tell you that much, but I haven't seen him.

he hasn't checked in, which suggests he's infiltrating.

[youandyoualone]

I see. [He will just. Keep worrying then.]
