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?

...Oh, so that's what's up with Naoto.

[razorblade_empress]

What do you mean?

[claudiometer]

Questing Country-flavor bond. It's still active, so she's here, but I haven't seen her since the David Bowie Tribute Statue Park mini-liminal.

I keep finding one of the old guard instead.

[razorblade_empress]

[Well, at least that's one missing person accounted for.]

I wonder if that was supposed to happen, or if something got messed up.

[claudiometer]

Either way, she's probably gonna be amused as all hell afterward.

[razorblade_empress]

Which one is she?

note keywords

[claudiometer]

Sherlock Holmes.

[razorblade_empress]

...That's almost too appropriate, isn't it.

[claudiometer]

It is remarkably on the nose. I guess if she can't talk to him, hitching a ride is the next best thing?

[razorblade_empress]

Guess so.

[Yukino herself is probably going to end up with a royal headache before this is over. Both of her.]

[claudiometer]

This is gonna be interesting, that's for sure.

[razorblade_empress]

I'm wondering what the stakes are for this Jaunt. Is it a test run or something else?

[claudiometer]

Probably nothing saying it can't be both.

[razorblade_empress]

True.

Depending on who's running this one, it's possible we could end up changing our history without necessarily changing the Jaunt.

[claudiometer]

I just hope nobody actually expects us to throw our weight behind Erebus. We're bad at supporting authority in general, but asking us to uphold a corrupt authority?

[razorblade_empress]

Yeah, I don't see that ending well.

[Hopefully it doesn't lead to Moebius being moved up the schedule.]

[claudiometer]

Just about anything else we could either stumble or deliberately finagle our way into.

[razorblade_empress]

Yeah.

[Hell, there are probably multiple plans for the latter currently percolating if not actually underway, and they've been here for, what, an hour or two?]
