[open to Investigators] Roll call and IC welcome/infopost

[howexciting]

Is everyone all right? I think-- cazzo!-- I think a roll call is in order. Leonardo da Vinci, present.

We seem to have found ourselves in the Afterlife, or some form of it. But where precisely, I don't know. Angels and demons in the same place... it's unheard of, in the stories of my time.

For those new Travelers, welcome to your first Jaunt. I am sorry it is not more hospitable... if anyone needs better clothes or any supplies, I would be happy to assist, if only I can manage to disperse this crowd-- Dio mio, this crowd! This is ridiculous!

... please, if anyone has found a quiet spot where I may hide, tell me? I am having a bit of trouble, here.

This is Naoto Shirogane, sensei. Do you need some assistance? I can attempt to find you, even though I am no intimidating figure.

I have found, through my questions, that we are in a town called Melasurei, in what can only be described as Purgatory, some land between seemingly Western Heaven and Hell. There are angels here, as well as demons, and some beings inbetween. We are believed to be what are called Immortali, which I can only deduce is some sort of immortal non-celestial soul. I apologize. I am completely out of my element when it comes to Western mythology.

The current situation is not good. The mail delivery has been stopped, and another sort of being, called the Peregrines, who recieve most of their sustenance that way are currently rioting over this. I have been warned that these Peregrines might attempt to actually drink our blood whether voluntarily on our part or not. I would caution everyone to be careful.

If you do have a moment on a more personal note, sensei, my usual clothing is currently much to warm for the climate. I have already passed out once.

Finally, I am wondering what the Trumps have against the mail. This is the second time in five Jaunts when we have arrived in a riot connected to mail.

[upcard]

Y-you passed out?!

[That's sure an alarmed squeak but Naoto why]

Are you okay, Shirogane-san?

[shiroganeheir]

I will be fine, Mai-san. I overheat easily due to my usual choice in clothing.

It should not be difficult to find something cooler.

How are you faring?

[upcard]

Oh, thank goodness... I'm glad that you're okay.

[She was alarmed, okay.]

I'm fine, though... someone helped me away from the crowd, so...I got lucky.

[howexciting]

Naoto, could you give me a general idea of where you are? I can try to locate you. I do not know if you can open portals into Liminal Space, but... it might be better to meet in Liminal Space if you do.

... Mai, are you comfortably dressed, or might you require cooler clothing also?

[shiroganeheir]

[In response, there is a visual of a street corner, a good view of some of the surrounding buildings, and a couple distinct looks at some shops. It seems she is on the edge of the bazaar.]

Unfortunately, Sensei, I do not have portals, however, as you just saw, I do have the ability to show where I am, if that is of assistance. I believe I can find my way back to the camp, if that would help.

[howexciting]

Yes, it helps. I... do not recognize any of it, at present, but it will help narrow the search.

Are you trying anything to cool yourself down?

[upcard]

Oh, I'm okay...! Thank you, sensei.

Please take care of Shirogane-san as well!

[howexciting]

I will do my utmost, Mai.

[shiroganeheir]

Good. If you need anything, please let me know. I will come find you.

Stay safe, Mai-san. I believe it is quite dangerous out here.

[upcard]

Mm...! I'll be really careful, I promise.

[The likelihood of her asking for help is quite small, since she doesn't want to cause anyone trouble, but nonetheless she commits it to memory.]

You too, Shirogane-san. Please take care of yourself.

[seestheworld]

Are you okay?

[shiroganeheir]

I will be fine. I believe I am slightly dehydrated. I need to remember to drink more water.

[seestheworld]

That's probably a good plan for most of us, really.
