[Walkabout] Check-in

[changeitall]

Weiss Schnee here, returning Champion of Ice from our first time in Questing Country. Presumably I still have thing called Dust with me, so ice isn't my only element here. [Plus she has ice dust.]

My Spirit Companion is called Winter, she's a pale blue kitsune and big enough for riding. [So in other words it looks like Alolan Ninetales in the size of an Arcanine but Weiss doesn't know that!] Coincidentally her color is pretty much the same as my summons are, not that I'd trust anything like that to be a coincidence here.

So, who else is here with us and what kind of companion did you get?

I'm Banjou, I have no idea what's going on, and I hate it. Cross-Z's still with me, though.

[changeitall]

Hello Banjou. Welcome to the world of magical people, where we fight against creatures called Nightmares. That's the general name for all of them, then there are different names for different kind of nightmares.

We are divided into different roles here, those are called Champions, Adversaries, Oracles and Pillars. Most of them have a Spirit Companion in some form, Pillars are the ones who for sure don't have one though... I'm still human myself but there are also many different species all around here.

If you've ever heard of the magical girl genre, this is the Traveling version of that.

[hamsterunicorns]

Hi! I'm Jester! I've got a hamster unicorn named Fancypants!

[changeitall]

Hello! Oh my gosh, what's a hamster unicorn? [... count on Weiss to get totally excited about all the cute companions.]

[wholeheaded]

Ambrose here, I'm me and...well, I've never been here as myself so I've got no Bonds, no title, and no critter. But I've heard there's a Spirit Oasis thingy in the forest if anyone wants to go on a quick field trip with me.

[changeitall]

I've got no bonds either, at least not yet. [Not that she'd mind having them but what is saying that?] Hopefully we'll have enough time to figure out everything here and that sounds like a really interesting field trip!

[mytearsaremine]

I can come. I can keep you safe and I owe you a big hug anyway. Come find me?

[Guess who's back, Ambrose, if you hadn't noticed during liminal.]

[rebellioninbloom]

That's where the companions come from, isn't it? I've ... been wondering if one was supposed to have met me yet. I'd be glad to come along, if you want.

[notadisappointment]

Yosuke here, but I'm half-infiltrating as Wulfenite, the hecatite bastard. Adversary of Business, with Mothman by my side.

He doesn't remember Ouroboros, so I guess this is before that.

[changeitall]

... What did he do the last time you were him? [Like why is he calling him that and so on, curious girl wants to know.]

Oh right, Ouroboros was before I came back. Interesting. Makes me wonder what else is different here between those times then.

[fruitknife]

This is Shinji. Koro-chan's with me like usual, but that's it in terms of animal buddies.

[He'd be a lot more bitter about that if Koromaru weren't with him, really.]

[changeitall]

Korowho? [That who there doesn't sound cute at all unlike Koro-chan does. Or maybe she should have asked what instead of who... Oh well.] ...Does that mean you doubt you'll even get one here

[mytearsaremine]

Hi, uh, this is Jolie. I've been here before but I guess I'm myself this time, which is cool, but also kind of awkward. I didn't have a great time last time I was here, but apparently that's kind of in this place's future.

I'm the Adversary of Souls-- sounds fun, right?

[Sarcasm. She has it.]

I'm the one with black armor and tentacles. And a jackalope pogemon trying really hard to be my spirit companion.

[changeitall]

Yeaaah, apparently we're somewhere in the middle of that first and second trip according to Yosuke too. Kind of interesting, not that I was there in the future version of this... Maybe you'll have better time here this time, we can at least try to make that happen. My last time wasn't the best either but that's mostly because I was like a very different person back then.

That sounds fun! [Sarcasm right back.] What does that mean? Do you summon souls or control souls or see our souls or what?

[Coming from a canon with soulless creatures and everything, that kind of hits somewhere besides sounding creepy or cool. Weiss really isn't sure....

Tentacles? Okay, that's.... Different. Early Weiss would have had a completely different reaction to hearing that word but this Weiss here is chill.]

Sounds like you'll be easy to find which is great. You have a real jackalope?! Okay well, if you see a girl with long white ponytail in a white and blue or violet dresses, that's probably me -- especially if Winter is near me too.

[rebellioninbloom]

Haru Okumura. I ... have a feeling I may have inherited an archetype from a previous overlay, but I haven't tested it out yet.

...Though I still seem to be absent a companion. I can't quite recall - how long would that take?

[changeitall]

Interesting. Which archetype is that if you don't me asking?

Uh, I'm no expert but if they don't show up soon and doing something magical girly doesn't help either, the trip that was mentioned earlier may be a really good idea.

[fruitknife]

If you want company, you know where to find me.

[Shinji would even tolerate the whole Bond thing with Haru, if that happens. But if it doesn't, whatever.]

[seestheworld]

Minako Arisato and company here. Still Champion of Seals, and Suzaku's been with me since the first Questing Country so she's not going anywhere. Aeronwen and Mothman are getting funny looks, though.

[changeitall]

Seals -- the animals or something else since any of them sound like a possible option here? Wow, you've been here for a ... long while. Funny looks because they make it look like you have more than one Spirit Companion or for some other reason?

[fearinahandfulof]

This is Cassandra. I don't think I'm anything; the only companion I have is Tatiana and she's not from here.

[changeitall]

Yes you are, we're all something here! But that may mean you're a pillar since they don't have companions... unless Tatiana has become your Spirit Companion of any kind.

[keepcalmcookon]

I am Ignis Scientia, the Champion of Exquisite Taste. My Spirit Companion is a species that I don't recognize, but his name is Bartlett.

I will be making a psychically locked call to the other side shortly. Whatever I learn from there, I will share. I also intend to move over to that side, somehow, if anyone would assist me.

[notadisappointment]

Minako-san should be able to help. Just remember that you might turn into an infiltration on the way.

[changeitall]

Hello chef! [Ooops, she says that before she thinks too much about what she's saying. Oh well, still appreciating his cooking skills from that one hell of a walkabout! Ahem, okay, moving on!] It's okay, your companion may also be his own species of something unless someone recognizes him.

Thank you for making that call and in advance for sharing too. Wait, what? You're moving there? ...Okay, umm, good luck with everything on that side then. Liminal looked like it may be a wild ride.

[naturaltwohands]

I'm Drizzt Do'Urden, once again the Champion of the Forest with Guenhwyvar as my Spirit Companion.

[changeitall]

That sounds like an archtype with lots of options for variety, never a bad thing. That's your black panther, yes? Things I hear from Jean.
