An hour or two into Jaunt [Locked to modern travelers]

[itsananimalthing]

Okay. I have fuckin' been here before. I remember this stupid Founders Day party. There's going to be some kind of upset soon after it, but I don't remember what yet.

And just in case it wasn't obvious, those are Travelers from years ago. I know them. I ain't got names for all of them yet, but I got memories now for almost all of them.

Pretty sure I ain't crazy, and I can't be the only one. So who else remembers this, and those other Travelers?

If I can find her.

But honestly, we've got seventeen already. What difference will another two or three make?

[itsananimalthing]

Could be a lot. Add back random chance, and it makes them harder to predict. Add back hope, and it makes them stronger. Add back temperance and they get more balanced and able to restrain themselves, instead of makin' stupid-ass mistakes because they go too far into their idiom.

Anyway, I'd rather we narrow them down more, not add to the army of godlike beings against us, thanks.

[thornsofmalkav]

And if Hierophant could be added back, they'd probably be able to work better as a team.

I guess that's logical, yeah.

[itsananimalthing]

Sorry, kid. They ain't exactly on our side, here.

See if Matthew or somebody can portal you into Fortune's space. She's gotta have one. Shit, I'd kinda want to come along, if you do it.

[thornsofmalkav]

I can portal into conversation spaces too, remember? Me and Claudia were gonna be the rides home until Justice found us.

I'll let you know if I'm heading out.

[itsananimalthing]

Fuck, yeah, sorry. One of these days I gotta figure out how that works so I ain't draggin' Matthew around all the time for that.

[He knew that. He's just still having a lot of WTFing right now, sorry, Thorne.]

[thornsofmalkav]

I mean, Matthew can do this shit to ridiculous amounts--like, he's the Armin of liminal space shit--so it might make sense to go with him anyway, so we don't have to rely on Fortune to return us back. Because I'm pretty sure he has a few multi-person bridge portals in him and I could maybe squeak out a second with extra people if I dig really deep into my reserves.

[itsananimalthing]

We can make it another group invasion of Fortune's space.

[thornsofmalkav]

Yeah! Get him and Claudia and whoever else is still awake and around. And I guess we could wake up some of the ones that are infiltrating too.

[itsananimalthing]

Save that for if we know we might need 'em. We can only do that once or twice a Jaunt each, and I'm pretty sure we lost a lot of the people who could do that over the past few months. Don't wanna run out in case we need it.

[thornsofmalkav]

... yeah, okay. You have a point there.

[itsananimalthing]

[No shit he has a point. Sorry, Thorne. He's a boring, responsible adult.]

We'll see who all we gotta get together. Might be just me, you, Claudia, and Matthew.

[thornsofmalkav]

Yeah. I'm thinking we should try it next week, maybe. Give us enough time to make sure if it's just us.

[itsananimalthing]

I'm on board. You need me to hunt down Matthew and ask, or you wanna talk to him?

[thornsofmalkav]

Either way. I've got some arrangements to make of my own first--but we've also got loose plans for when we're both Investigating, so I'd be tracking him down for that anyway.
