For those who joined us last time we were in Liminal Space, that was a Jaunt. We go in, blend in as well as we can [and some irritation bleeds into her "voice" because THAT didn't happen] do whatever we're supposed to do, and get called back here. To "help" with the investigation, some of us think we're locals of that world for the duration of the Jaunt. Not all Jaunts will be like this, so be ready for anything when we have another one. But the basics are the same-- do what you can, don't give up.

For those who just joined us, you'll know what I'm talking about sooner or later. It's probably best for now to get used to the psychic network, because it will be very useful to you during a Jaunt. Find a veteran traveler who can help. Except for Garrett-- he'd sooner insult you than give you the time of day.

If you have questions for me specifically and you want to keep it off the network, I'm over at the over-elaborate wedding cake. Otherwise, using the network is fine.

[locked to pre-brooklyn vets]

Everyone still here? [This is as close to concern as she can get. Savor it you jerks, because Lightning cant feel emotions doesn't emote a whole lot.]

Comments

[blackhand]

[WOW HE DIDN'T EVEN CALL ANYONE A FOOL THIS TIME, LIGHT. R U D E.]

Giving me away before I cause any trouble?

[sparkstriker]

Someone has to warn people about you.

[lock]

[unabatedly]

As far as I can tell, yes, we're all still here. This isn't quite like last time.

[And if they're missing one or two, then it's far and away from the vast drop off the Trumps gave them before.]

[lock]

[sparkstriker]

Just making sure. ... We were thrown a nasty surprise before, who knows if next time, we'll no longer get a warning.

[lock]

[hakodate]

Still here. So's Souji.

[lock]

[sparkstriker]

Good. I'm probably going to have words with him. [She doesn't have a bone to pick with Souji-- she has a bone to smash over his head.]

[lock]

[canbebrave]

I made it.

[lock]

[sparkstriker]

Are you hurt?

[lock]

[neverfeltthatway]

Ah... still present. Eren is, too.

[lock]

[sparkstriker]

Good. And what about some others?

[locked to pre-brooklyn vets]

[protect_and_serve]

I am myself again.

Hado is gone. And at least three of the new ones.

[locked to pre-brooklyn vets]

[sparkstriker]

[Hado, huh? Lightning tended to be wary of him considering how he acted around her, but that doesn't mean she's fine with him being gone now. Who knows what happens to a Traveler who disappears.]

Which new ones?

[lock]

[wholeheaded]

I'm still here, Remy and Tim are too. Thanks for giving folks the run down.

[lock]

[notinthecards]

Practically a vacation, this time.

Maybe better not to mention that to the new children, though.

[lock]

[sparkstriker]

Better me than Garrett, and Joscelin deserves a break.

[mindoirsurvivor]

One question about the network. How do I turn it off?

[sparkstriker]

You just will it. Like I said, get used to it. You need to work it out now, or else it'll cause you problems later on.

[quoted]

This Garrett fellow sounds nice.

[ Oh, well, she didn't mean to mention that on this psychic network. Some part of her officially wishes that this worked like the Sensen, at least then she could shut off the communication at will. Surely she could do the same with this... somehow. ]

And are you willing to help, or just warning us?

[sparkstriker]

I wouldn't have offered my location if I wasn't willing.

[rekkaning]

So that mansion was Liminal Space? Is this candy museum the same thing?

[sparkstriker]

Yes. Liminal Space looks different every time you come back here after a Jaunt. ... And it's almost always surreal.

[senseandcecilbility]

G-God?

[Has He finally answered his prayers? No wait, this doesn't sound like...]

WHO ARE YOU?

[Unholy voices inside his head: somehow, he managed to be possessed?]

[sparkstriker]

No, just the Savior. [DEAD. PAN.]

I'm guessing you have just arrived.

[moredakka]

S-so, we won, right? I, I mean... well, if we're here then we completed the mission b-but... we don't get to see what comes next, huh?

[sparkstriker]

Don't think of it as a "win". We did what we had to do-- there was no battle.

But we did accomplish what we were supposed to do. If we're not forced immediately into Liminal Space and sent to another Jaunt, then it's a good sign.

[creatic]

[ what is this blend in you sound so cranky about, light. ]

I hope the next one is more interesting than the last.

[sparkstriker]

[She will eviscerate you, after she fries your organs. YOU LITTLE SHIT.]

I hope it's not your version of interesting.
