[Walkabout to Jaunt, a few hours into Day 1] Long Distance Check

[keepcalmcookon]

Psychic Bridge I with Psychic Protection II, locked to Prompto, Noctis, Eliot, and Felih:

I will be brief: we are in Questing Country. This connection's time is limited; someone Jauntside can explain QC later, Noct. Share this information with the rest of the Travelers. Our purpose is a place called Tribulation Island. It is full of Nightmares, and the seal on it is weakening. Instead of renewing the seal, Dreamers are being sent to find and neutralize the source of the Nightmares. The Power of Kings does not work; the distance is too far, likely.

Prompto. I am alone here and have already secured help to get to the Jaunt. Have hours or days passed for you? Do you have a status on everyone's state and what is known of the Jaunt? I will relay the Jaunt information to those on Walkabout. [He's hoping you're Investigating, Prompto.]

You don't do so hot when we're around, either.

[Eliot's tone is dry, remembering how injured Prompto had felt with the revelation that Ignis really only seemed to care about Noctis's welfare. It sounded like that cycle was starting back up again, and he's bracing himself to deal with the fallout.]

We've only been here a few hours. We're on some boats. Everybody's got ridiculous fantasy novel bodies.

[keepcalmcookon]

[Ouch.] I know. I am to do better.

We should be on the same schedule, then. So more than just Nagas, then. Have you seen any magic to go with it?

[unapologeticallyaffected]

Good.

And no magic. There doesn't seem to be much tech, either - it's bronze-age furries. Which means we have a huge advantage, as long as we're able to keep everything on the down-low.

[keepcalmcookon]

Keeping everything on the down low is not... our strong suit. But at least we have extra cards up our sleeves.

[unapologeticallyaffected]

Speak for yourself, I'm excellent at hiding in plain sight. People just think I'm an incredibly handsome, flamboyant weirdo.

[keepcalmcookon]

You forgot well-dressed.

[unapologeticallyaffected]

I consider that a given, it hardly needs to be mentioned.

It sounds like Prompto's filled you in on most of the pertinent details, I've been paying more attention to the people around us, since I'm not really a machines guy. Basically, everything is weird and suspicious and Isle of Dr. Moreau.

[keepcalmcookon]

I figured as much.

I suppose it was finally time for something different than what we've had in the past.

[unapologeticallyaffected]

Is this all that different? I doubt it will be - all of these little trips tend to have a certain sameness about them.

[keepcalmcookon]

It sounds like you're not entirely human, for one.

[unapologeticallyaffected]

Oh, that's typical. I've been all sorts of weird shit. Though the six limbs thing is new, I'll admit.

[keepcalmcookon]

Some of us are more... inexperienced in that matter.
