[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.

We're at the Grid I think, yes. Sentient computer programs and all. I admit I haven't been paying all that much attention to what we're supposed to be doing, other than exploring - which I don't much care for right now. There's too many interesting things to tinker with here...

[leftbehindagain]

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.

Monsieur Anafiel! It's a pleasure to hear from you. It sounds like you're having a nice ski vacation compared to the last Walkabout..."Men in Black" sound familiar, though. I believe they were the antagonists of our visit to a music festival in California. You probably don't need to fear for your life, but they will absolutely investigate strange goings-on, so be cautious.

Rose's father is with her, right? If not I'm sure she's let you know by now if he's not...as for Alcuin, he is here, playing the part of one of the Programs from the Grid. I believe he and Thorne are both Infiltrating, so I should probably inform you for her sake that the world we're in is made up of the tiny people who live inside computers.

Is Alcuin the really cute guy with long blonde hair?

Because yeah, I think I've seen him. He seems... content.

[verdeleonessa]

Do you know if there're guys named Lotor or Thace on that side? Keith or Allura would know who they are.

Also this place is awesome but yours doesn't sound bad either.

[And that would be the psychic equivalent of an almost cartoonishly dramatic double-take]

You're in a place called what!?

[But then it registers that the list of names that was just given has at least one rather alarming exception.] Is... Is that just the names of the Investigators that are with you?
