Backdated to a few hours before Armin's out-of-ambit announcement

[Kitty's voice is oddly muted. Devoid of emotion. Those who have seen someone overuse Hypocognition before might notice the signs.] Don't infiltrate yourself.

And if you have to, make sure that you are in a safe location that you don't mind your overlay being in.

If someone gets infiltrated during the jaunt, the overlay will come to wherever they were last. They won't be able to help it. Even if they know that it is a bad idea.

Oh, is that what happened?

I accidentally infiltrated myself in the Elsewhere. Manx had to go to the last point that I'd been, and through the library was apparently the closest route.

Her parents were really trying to keep her out of all that.

[claudiometer]

To be fair, it was probably the safest route, if she had to go in there at all, but... still far from ideal.

[runs]

She shouldn't have gone in there at all.

Overlays should stay where they are.

It makes no sense for them to go where we go last. [Aside from the Arcana being Fae, and of course they'd want to screw them over as much as possible, that's probably their idea of a good dinner.

...Guess whose Hypocognition just timed out on the last sentence.]

[claudiometer]

I think the problem is she wasn't an overlay yet, and it spiraled from there. Not disagreeing about whether she should've gone in, mind.

[After all, on the jaunt it was kinda her job to stop that when she could.]

[runs]

...But overlays don't come to Liminal to pick up the people they'll get stuck with at the beginning of the jaunt, either.

[claudiometer]

Probably because of something about the process that we don't fully understand, but I don't have enough brain-fu to really speculate.

[runs]

That's STUPID.

[Yes, very reasonable response, but it just IS.]
