[Jaunt] Check in

[notadisappointment]

Looks like we really hit the movies, huh? This is all kinds of awesome.

Anyway, Yosuke here bringing you your regular check in post. I'm half-infiltrating the first time. The guy I'm in is called Jesse Parker and he works at the Final Cut, but also in random jobs all over. I can show you around and help you blend in if you need assistance!

So who all have we got here? I checked and at least Naoki and Usagi are infiltrating. Haven't heard from Kanji yet. Might be another walkabout going on? I can bridge over there later to check on them if no one contacts us from there.

Jaina here. I'm full on investigating, apparently something to do with lights. And really happy to show up in pants, Phillip wasn't sure if that was going to happen when it was Old Hollywood.

[Priorities okay?]

He's infiltrating, of course. He's a popular actor so this'll be the third time I'm mistaken for a groupie.

[notadisappointment]

I guess we're only like old Hollywood but luckily not all the way.

[forcechanic]

I'm not sure why they're an odd length, current trend I guess, but I wasn't looking forward to another Jaunt in a dress. I guess they realized I couldn't deal with lights if I wasn't in pants though.

Pidge - or Katie Holt - here. My bonds tell me that Shiro and Matt are both here, infiltrating, but Allura's likely at walkabout, too. Not sure about anything else right now. I might be a general technical assistant?

[And her hair is long again.]

[notadisappointment]

There's a stunt coordinator called Matt Holt, so that's likely where you might want to look.

[awondrousplace]

I have seen your brother, darling. He was talking to a muscular man behind the counter of Naoki's bar who looked quite a lot like Shiro.

They both seem to be doing just fine.

Hey dudes, it's Thorne and I'm full on investigating this time. They've got me in Scripts? Looks like there's a couple movies going on. The big one is this Phantom Thief thing, but it looks like there's a War of the Worlds adaption too, so I might end up there.

... Helena, if you're with us, you should work on it too.

[awondrousplace]

Oh, I am there, darling. So very there.

I'm certain there is always room for a technical consultant.

[notadisappointment]

Yeah, Phantom Thief is definitely the center of things right now, but not the only thing. It might help to have investigators on all movies just in case.

[claudiometer]

This is Claudia, apparently here for all your jury-rigging needs. Not that it's any surprise to me, I already have one on-the-fly projector repair under my belt and the stakes here are definitely not 'the town blows up horribly if you fail.'

[The Warehouse means never having to say you're kidding.]

[notadisappointment]

Well that's... at least good? So we're not looking to stop an explosion or anything. Likely. Hopefully.

[breakaleginhalf]

Gil here, still myself. More or less.

[He doesn't sound terribly pleased about the fact, funnily enough.]

I'm helping with sets and props, apparently.

[notadisappointment]

Not happy with being yourself?

[otomechapilot]

Sara. I’m in the head of an actress in the sci-fi movie, not much older than me. I think Riddick is infiltrating as the star.

I think it’s the same studio that’s doing the Phantom Thief. Trancendent. Which means we’re probably here because of The Phantom Thief. I got the idea from Sarah with an H that the War of the Worlds movie is kind of - not a B movie, but it’s to pay the bills? It’s Phantom Thief that’s getting hyped up by Trancendent.

Oh and, uh, I’m on a first name basis with Ted at the bar. Actress Sarah likes the cherry cokes he mixes apparently.

[notadisappointment]

Oh, yeah, Phantom Thief is all the rage right now, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was the reason we're here. Though it would be good to have eyes on all the movie sets, if possible.

I work at the bar too, from time to time. Naoki's overlay is there, too.

[duelingbanjou]

I have no idea what the hell is going on.

[Banjou you had it explained to you already -]

Also what do you mean 'the guy you're in'?!

[notadisappointment]

First Jaunt? You'll get used to it.

[With that out of the way.]

Simply put, I'm currently sharing a body with a native of this world. Usually people are either themselves or someone else, but I've managed to remain half myself. It's not harmful for either one of us, though.

[awondrousplace]

Helena Wells, reporting from the set of The War of the Worlds. I seem to have found my way into a technical consultant position, but if this bloody director doesn't stop trying to have the main character romance the damn soldier, there might be murder.

I'm not exactly at my best in this setting, but if anyone needs a break, by all means let me know. I will take you back to Liminal.

[notadisappointment]

Wait, seriously? Man, that doesn't fit the theme at all.

[desperate_times_right]

Chloe, myself this time. I think you call it investigating? Anyway, I’m basically a glorified courier, moving things and people around the complex. If you need to get somewhere fast, or need something delivered discreetly, ping me and we’ll work something out.

... I know we’re probably supposed to be keeping our heads down and blending in, but people keep saying “dick firestorm” to me and it’s hard to keep a straight face.

[claudiometer]

God, right? What wannabe porn star named this guy?

[notadisappointment]

... yeah, it's really hard to keep myself from laughing at the name. Good thing I can sort of hide behind Jesse if I almost do.

[carbonatedscientist]

Sento here, looks as though I'm part of the special effects department on Giant Gerbils from Mars.

[There is an aggrieved mental sigh.]

This is such a waste of my talents and any sort of effort.

[duelingbanjou]

I need to take pictures.

[notadisappointment]

Ah, that... yeah, I've heard of that project going on. Good luck.
