[Jaunt] Check-in

[awondrousplace]

Alright, everyone! I know Joscelyn is warning people of our location, but we do rather need to know who we have, not just where we are.

So, in the spirit of... oh, what's the phrase, getting our waterfowl in a queue?

Please let us all know who's here, and if you're sharing a mind with an overlay! Also, if anyone needs help with a cover story of sorts, I am always available for creative writing.

[Helena, plz.]

In case there are those who don't know me, I am Helena Wells, and my story is that I was cursed to eternal life for being just a bit too clever with researching time travel. It's... close enough to the truth that it will do in a pinch.

Comments

[awitchdidit]

Ah, Helena! It's good to hear from you again. I am myself, although this Jaunt is almost like home for me anyway. Or at least, let's say, a neighbor's place.

[awondrousplace]

Hello, darling!

Good to hear from you. I'm dreadfully sorry that we haven't had a chance to catch up since you've returned.

If you wish an escape from everything, do let me know, and we can go back to Liminal.

[verdeleonessa]

Hey Helena, it's good to hear from you.

I'm myself, that is Pidge for those who don't know me and... Matt and Shiro are both here, but not as themselves. [Again. Thanks whatever force makes this happen.]

Can you help me with a cover story?

[awondrousplace]

Of course, Pidge!

Let's see. Well, you could be my laboratory assistant slash relative who got cursed along with me?

Hopefully you don't like scarily like your infiltrated brother again.

[reincarnatedprince]

Mamoru Chiba here, as myself. I don't think I'm any sort of human right now, even if I look like one. [He's rather aware of his body changes, so this is... strange.]

I think there must be a Walkabout this time around as well, because I don't sense Usagi anywhere.

[Have mercy on those on that side when she notices Mamoru's gone.]

[awondrousplace]

There likely is. I believe the quantity of walkabouts has been increasing lately.

... interesting. I don't feel any different, but it's rare that I do.

[callyourname]

Mikasa Ackerman here and Jean is definitely not on this side.

[Neither is Eren as anyone can hear on the walkabout bridge post and Armin's location is ???? by the time of this comment (OOCly since ICly her bond would tell, so ... skipping mention of them at the moment since mentioning just one of them would be weird from her in this situation.]

Nor is he himself for a while or else we'd be on the same side of things one way or another. [This is going go be some very fun weeks without him after being almost inseparatable until now.] Oh and I'm still just me.

[awondrousplace]

Good to know, darling.

I am sorry that you are alone. That can be quite awful. If you wish to be away from things, please let me know. I would be happy to take you back to Liminal Space for a break.

[changeitall]

Weiss Schnee, not sharing my body with anyone else, but Snow Angel jokes just went a little too far considering I look pretty... angelic with these sudden wings.

Also, Qrow's infiltrating which may be bad news in itself though I only saw him instead of meeting him yet... but at least he or anyone else won't need to worry about his misfortune following us here. ...His words, not mine considering we travel on the same group back home.

[awondrousplace]

Oh, dear.

Thank you for the information, dear. Is your friend supernaturally unlucky, or just has terrible luck?

[leftbehindagain]

You know that's not the phrase. [Naoki at least sounds more amused than exasperated, so that's something.]

This is Naoki. Following Raidou-san's lead last jaunt, I de-infiltrated myself. I didn't want to wait to find out the answers, not when we're here and can do something about the greater problem. Hanamura's pretty obviously not here, having checked in from the walkabout. I haven't caught any sign of Chie, either.

If anyone knows, or is, a Peregrine in need of a job, send them my way. Bars don't run themselves, and gold is far more convenient for payment than bloodletting ever was.

[awondrousplace]

Hello, my dear.

I think I am suddenly glad that this is the Jaunt that I wrote about.

Do you have any information about what is going on here, or why we might be here?

[modernliterature]

Caleb Widogast. I stole an artifact that siphons energy from the souls of the unborn.

That's just a story.

[hamsterunicorns]

And I helped him!

[cantshakeme]

Emir Dark, and I appear to be myself for the time being.

[...look he can't help but be a bit amused with himself for that phrasing.]

[awondrousplace]

Hello there!

Welcome to the world of Travelling. And, it is likely good to be yourself on your first outing. It will make for much less discomfort later.

[fruitknife]

This is Shinji. Ain't sure about a cover story, but it's definitely a curse. [He's too depressed and self-loathing to call immortality a good thing when there's wiggle room to call it bad.]

Koro-chan's around sometimes, but not all the time. Little too hot for all that fur.

[awondrousplace]

Oh, I am right there with you, darling. Definitely a curse.

Do you want me to make sure there's food in the dining room for Koro at home?

[thornsofmalkav]

Thorne here! As I said to Joscelin, I'm half-Infiltrating this time as a Peregrine, so I can just use Peregrine Me's backstory.

[awondrousplace]

Hello, dear!

How are the Peregrines doing? I was not on the first Jaunt, but Naoki has told me a good deal about it so I could write it as a story.

[crouching_sin]

It's Naoya. I seem to be half-infiltrating. My overlay is Purson, a demon of knowledge and summoning. I'm attempting to get my bearings a bit...

[awondrousplace]

Demon or not, a being of knowledge could be quite useful! Does he know much about the current situation?

[helborn]

It's Casper. I... I have no idea what to even go with for this.

[awondrousplace]

Most of us would be cursed to wandering immortally for some misdeed or another.

I'm certainly not implying that you are guilty of great misdeeds, but is there something that you could... amplify?

Or, well, you could just... be the strong silent type. That could work as well.

[seestheworld]

Minako Arisato here. I was here for the last trip to Purgatory, so I'm going to just use my very vague cover story from last time and be grateful that the Angels aren't giving me quite as many weird looks as last time.

[awondrousplace]

Whyever were they giving you odd looks, darling?

Angels are... odd creatures anyway, so don't let it bother you.

[hamsterunicorns]

I'm Jester! And everyone thinks I'm a demon here, which is silly. I'm obviously a tiefling.

[modernliterature]

Think of it like a promotion.

[comebewe]

I'm here.

We're all pretending we're mysterious immortal humans here, right?

[awondrousplace]

Yes. I do not think it would be good to pretend to be a supernatural being of some sort. It is likely they have a list of some sort.

[fighterpaladin]

... Here.

[This is still really freaking weird. He probably needs a cover story too, but well, that doesn't even cross his mind because he is still wrapping his head around just what the Hell is going on. That and, well, he... doesn't really care.]

[sharpshooterpaladin]

... We need a cover story or something, right?

[ Since someone's helping Pidge with that already. ]

[sharpshooterpaladin]

Oh, huh. Thanks for this. Anyway, Lance here, still myself thankfully.

[awondrousplace]

Good to hear from you, Lance.

Are you the Lance that Shiro speaks of from his world?

[breakaleginhalf]

Gil here, still myself. I'm trying to make a sort of mental map of the Market, so if anyone needs a hand with not getting lost I can help a bit there. This place is fucking huge, though.

[awondrousplace]

A map of some sort would be fantastic, darling, if you could find a way to share.

Do you have any idea how huge is huge? Are we talking the size of a large city, or a small country?

[dragoonrouge]

Q'uila checking in, still myself. If you need me I'm going to be shadowing Matthew for a time and sticking around the outskirts.

[levelthreehooligan]

Hi ho!

I'm also myself, which I am not sure is a blessing or a curse, here.

[acapriciousthing]

Death here. Best to call me Miss D to avoid any awkward questions in a place like this. It would attract far too much attention otherwise.
