psychic bridge II (main jaunt --> humans)

[leftbehindagain]

I think we can all agree everything this jaunt chooses to be sucks, yes?

This is Naoki. I'd have checked in sooner, but I'm half-infiltrating, we didn't have reason to think there was a network divide until just now, and it's... already been a very busy week.

So. We know the midges are cameras, we know there are at least a few actors among us - it's far from everyone, but I think we've pinpointed at least two - we know everyone was delivered here from space after unknown time spent in a lab, and we know this is Earth. If anyone remembers whether Karachi is India or Pakistan, that's apparently roughly where we are, going off stuff someone found underwater. We have about twenty minutes to compare notes and start working on a plan.

(OOC: Up to fourteen Beastfolk-side investigators can join in on this discussion!)

What's to love?

[The humor's a bit weak.]

...Not really.

Hey, it's better to be in the lions den watching the prey than the other way around. You're a lot safer up there.

[razorblade_empress]

Yeah... I just have to watch everybody else go through it instead. And up to now I couldn't even tell any of you, much less stop any of it.

[letsgetdowntobismuth]

With the way this one feels like it might go, I don't think I can make any promises to be safe.

[Her tone shifts a little playful, trying to lighten the mood.] Especially since Riddick and I are gonna go hunting later. Nothing that fancy, it just sounds like a big bear.

[razorblade_empress]

I know. It's why I didn't ask. Nor with the situation in general, and not when M—Orwell is asking us to pick our favorite natural disasters to hit you with.

[And she is going to latch onto that subject change right now, yes.]

A bear, huh?

[letsgetdowntobismuth]

Could be a bear, could be some hybrid thing. The locals aren't sure but it sure wouldn't be the first weird animal that's not supposed to exist running around. All they know is it's big, but hey - so are Riddick and I. We got this.

[razorblade_empress]

[She's too tired to argue about something like this.]

Probably a hybrid.

[And she really does not want to think about how they might have made those.]

[letsgetdowntobismuth]

[It's not great sensing how tired her best friend is from all this. Honestly, if their positions were switched, Bismuth would probably be a lot worse off; at least Yukki's found a way to help on that end.]

Tell you what, when we get back to Liminal Space after all this, howsabout we finally try putting together those circus memories we got? It'll be a good distraction. And hey, maybe it's a benevolent circus too.

[razorblade_empress]

That'd be a switch.

[It'd be a nice switch, though.]
