synopsychic | [Jaunt Week 1] Check-In Time...

I don't know, and that makes me really suspicious. Even if they were just bugs they should have pinged me a little.

Yeah... I don't know. The guy who was telling me not to mess with them said something about the gods watching us through them for 'entertainment', too. Which is kind of creepy, right?

[There's a long moment.]

[A very, very long pause.]

[And then just nothing but a blast of rage across the network.]

[Whaaaaaat was that.]

Whoah! Are you ok??

[Sorry about that Darkness -]

We're being watched. There was... a movie that was about someone being constantly watched by cameras.

I really hope this isn't the same situation, because if it is I have a number of people to punch so hard their faces comes out their asses.

Wait, people might actually be watching all of this?

[Yeah that is SUPER CREEPY.]

I hope it's not that too... what do we do about it?

... I don't know. Find where they're watching from and...

I don't know. I don't know how to do this subtly.

It's ok. We'll figure this out. We'll fix it.

There's people watching me with a leg stump. For entertainment.

[He's having a Moment, and there's rising panic in his 'voice'.]

[Oh geez. Sora's voice is confident still, but there's a softer edge to it, trying to make Casper feel better.]

I know. I'm really sorry. But we'll make sure this never happens to anyone else, ever again. Ok?

... I think I might need to just. Go for a bit. Maybe find a corner and slip back to Liminal for a second.

They've done this to us before, too. Sent us to somewhere we were basically a reality show where people watched us kill each other.

We were already thinkin' this shit sounded like Moebius.

... Great. How do we break this without breaking everyone?

We find where they're recording from and fuck it up. Don't need to tell the people living here we did it.

I have a suspicion. Where in this place is forbidden?

Ain't been here long enough to find out.

[Remember how infiltrator knowledge didn't give him much, since they're supposed to arrive here as amnesiacs. Which is already pretty creepy.]

But we can ask around.

Yeah. Probably better you than me. They keep staring at me. I draw too much attention.

The Truman Show. You're saying this is the Truman Show, with centaurs and satyrs and fauns and shit. That's what you're saying.

[...]

FUCK.

Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying.

[At least she gets the reference.]

Okay, but, like, everyone but Truman was an actor in that, weren't they? I... don't know that it's like that here. I mean, Thorn-the-weaver certainly thinks it's all real.

Okay, but same concept. I don't know, I'm kind of trying to not have a panic attack.

No, no, this is totally panic attack worthy. I don't blame you, dude.

[The blast of rage managed to stir Q'uila from her daze and when she catches up with the conversation she can feel anger boiling in her gut.]

So we are constantly being watched?! And some of these people could be actors? But some genuinely have no memory?

[She growls, far less feline than usual and more draconic]

'Tis like some sort of experiment! Like Liminal before we came herem

Exactly. They're watching me with no leg. It's probably some kind of 'inspirational' thing for them.

Salt guzzling fucks!

We shall find them. [A confident statement from Q'uila, there is no doubt that they won't find those responsible for this.]
