[Walkabout] Early Day 3 Status Check

What's our current status fighting this... spirit? And have we discovered a way to take down the wards?

Also, while my skills may not be able to assist deeply in the effort, I have access to the kitchen and will keep everyone fed to the best of my abilities. It's one less thing that you will need to worry about. All that I ask is that you refrain from making any avoidable messes.

[Avoidable, because a fight could break out, and he's already rationalized that might happen.]

((OOC: avoiding Final Fantasy XV spoilers for the most part, but I'll tag any threads that have them. Sticking to the "man of mystery" icon for this reason.))

[Yosuke did promise to contact this side in a while, so now he's doing the thing.]

Hey guys, it's Yosuke again. Wanted to check in on how you guys are doing. I think it should have been a few days for you guys? Maybe?

[He did!]

It's the beginning of the third day. [Sorry, he doesn't know about Majora's Mask.] In the very late hours of day 1 to day 2, we had someone.. die gruesomely, presumably by the malevolent spirit we've perhaps been sent to fight against. I'm not entirely sure why, but now we are trapped within the inn and its surrounding lands by wards. And then, late in the evening on day 2, someone was exorcised from their own body and stored in a jar.

... I'm doing what I can to make sure people stay fed, at least. But that's all I know at the moment.

[He's calm! Really! With a slight undercurrent of "maybe we're all doomed" that comes through.]

... that sounds bad. And it sounds like sending back up from this side is a no go, considering the wards. It would be strange for someone to come into a place like that now.

[And that's the only thing he can think of to help.]

Continue to feed people. That's already plenty of help, all things considered.

[Then a pause and his mental voice is a lot warmer as he puts a protection on their conversation with psychic protection II.]

Felih wanted so tell you that he misses you. He's doing fine... mostly enjoying the scenery like Felih's do.

Correct. Any arrivals would be treated with deep suspicion.

[Yup.]

That is my plan. I have no supernatural powers, but I can keep those who do in good shape to fight the menace.

[Psychic Protection II]

Thank you. It's good to hear that he's safe. [A mild wave of embarrassment.] Tell him that I love him.

... And I must entirely learn how to do this.

That's more important than people often realize.

[Psychic Protection II]

[The embarrassment is contagious.]

I will make sure he knows.

I could teach you if you want

Which is why I consider my duty to make sure it's not forgotten in this situation.

[PPII]

[Is it ever.]

You have my gratitude.

And if you would not mind teaching me, I would be grateful for that as well.

It's not a problem at all. Felih's important to me as well, so I know how it must feel to be apart.

[There's a hint of teasing in his mental voice.]

I wouldn't mind at all. I think more people should be interested in learning anyway.

Utterly horrible, truthfully.

[The teasing makes his mental voice lighten somewhat.]

I'd like to work up to being able to bridge the gap as well, but being able to have privacy first is paramount.

Yeah, definitely go for privacy first. It also opens many other routes to network abilities. Much like portals or liminal manipulation on the liminal side.

Exactly my intentions, to be entirely honest. I plan on gaining more of the base skills before deciding on my path through the skill tree.

[He's not a major gamer; he just... finds the terminology useful here.]

Always a solid tactic, even in video games.

Just let me know when you want to start learning.

Once it's easier for us to speak, I believe.

Haha, yeah. Well, you can contact me after the Jauntabout is over for a lesson.

I greatly appreciate your help. I will speak to you then.

Got it. Hang in there in the meanwhile.

Thank you. I shall.

Hey... Did you find my favorite puppy?

Yeah, I did. She's fine. Usagi's overlay is taking good care of her and she's pretty good at scaring the hell out of one diva actor when he least expects it, it seems.

[He happened to witness Aurora scaring Jack when he wasn't paying attention. It was funny. Though there's nothing to laugh about with phobias, but Yosuke's not sure if it's that or if he was just absentminded.]

[Nothing to say about their situation with it, she's been staying alone and quiet.] Should we really even take them down if they're supposed to stay there for now? [Complicated questions time, apparently.]

Thank you for the food.

And let the thing escape to cause more damage? Hardly. But we need a plan to take it out if we haven't one already.

You're welcome. Good food won't fix everything, but if it makes things even a slight bit less stressful, it will have done its job.

I guess it might hit one of us sooner or later and maybe we'll figure out something then if the investigator with it says ...anything. [Not that she wants to jinx it or anything but there are chances for it and she has no idea of their current situation with it or about anything with that thing. Oh sorry, is her tone very done with people keeping secrets and trying to figure things out alone? It's coming all the way from back home, not so much from anyone here even after her earlier harsh words on the network. Which are also reasons why she's been a quiet and awkward penguin and stayed out of snapping at anyone... But she's also feeling useless on this walkabout which isn't anyone else's fault. ~~No wonder she'll have a dungeon later.~~]

It helps a lot at least those who may have problems focusing on making anything with liminal manipulation like they'd normally do... {Uh, okay sure, that's one way to say that she'll rather come down to eat something ready than even try to make delicious food happen alone.]

With all of us in this enclosed environment, I'd say that's highly likely. I would hope the Investigator would say something. Otherwise, people might die.

[Ignis is done with that before he's even started.]

And there's not many of us to make the trip back and forth. We need to conserve our resources.

Yeah... So why does the 'not telling anything to anyone or almost anyone' way of handling situations seem like such a common to do things anyway? [...Generally, not even only in this walkabout since uh, some things back home again. Then again, look who is talking when she's someone who used to be isolated of everything which wasn't her own choice... but hell if she knows how she'd handle situations like that herself.]

That's also very true and a very good point.

Because people underestimate the strength of numbers and overestimate their own strength while undervaluing the worth of their own life.

[Ignis has some experience with not reaching out himself; doing that is a bad plan all the way around.]

Hopefully a good enough one that people keep it in mind.
