[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.

I... guess?

[What for, though? Hell... What's even the point of all of this? Sure, they need to investigate things, but will people from this--... world, or whatever it is, really pry into their lives so much that they need to share all that much info?

It's like the Space Mall all over again. Only worse, because they can't take the masks off.]

[sharpshooterpaladin]

You don't think so? I guess maybe nobody's gonna ask...

[ It's actually very like the Space Mall. Only none of them knows what they're looking for at all, so... ]

[fighterpaladin]

I just--... [If he sounds a bit annoyed or on edge is because he is. He heard what his Arcana told him, and he gets (for the most part) that this is called a 'Jaunt' and they are supposed to so something in it to help different Arcana 'win', but.

... It feels so pointless. All these people are so focused on these games that it's like they aren't really thinking about the big picture. It... really is, almost, like they are pawns. Or maybe these games' purpose is just that, keep everyone distracted long enough to stop asking questions.

He sighs, after a bit, though.] ... I guess we can think of something. But people here will probably not even care.

[sharpshooterpaladin]

[ He thinks on it. At the end of the day... sure, Fortuna was all cheerful game metaphors but why does this, here, matter to them? Why are they focusing on this? Instead of their own actual goal? He lets out a sigh. ]

Nah, you're probably right. I don't even know where to start investigating anything anyway, so...

[fighterpaladin]

I don't even know what we are supposed to investigate, let alone where to start.

[His turn to sigh.]

I guess... something about the market? [Or... something?]

[sharpshooterpaladin]

Yeah, exactly. I dunno anything about this place, so how am I supposed to spot what's weird or suspicious or different or whatever? Ugh...

[fighterpaladin]

Your guess is as good as mine.
