Headcount

[turbedon]

[A far too cheerful sounding voice pipes up over the Network, the owner of it nowhere to be found in Liminal Space in a rather telling way.]

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your pilot speaking-

Everyone okay? Anyone gone missing after the last Jaunt?

... Any newcomers we need to get off the brainway asap? Because just arriving and then being run over would really not be astrous. At all.

I'm on the road. If I spot anyone looking lost, I'll pull them somewhere safe.

[ There's an awkward pause, long enough that she might have actually stopped talking... But no. She's just trying to figure out what to even say to him. ]

I, uh. Didn't see you at the end. Tell me one of us got out of that okay.

[turbedon]

Doesn't really matter, does it? I mean, it's all done, we're in one piece now. Pity we don't have Black Canary around to give us some therapy but that's just how it goes.

[Yeah, just gonna dodge that question and not bring up the Angel of Destruction reborn thing...]

[willyousee]

Present and uninjured... and it seems that Maestro Leonardo is somewhere about as well - his workshop is likely available as respite already. You are uninjured yourself?

[He somehow manages to sound a little out of breath, and is clearly distracted.]

Has anyone seen Phedre or Joscelin as of yet?

[turbedon]

Yup, all limbs attached. You sound a little distracted though, need any help there?

[canbebrave]

You haven't?

[shiroganeheir]

I do not believe I have met Joscelin-san, however, I do know Phedre-san, and will let you know if I see her. I am doing some fly-overs of the roadways.

How are you doing, Alcuin?

[Naoto's voice is still a bit raggedly tired.]

[volving]

[ quietly ]

I am... fine.

[ ...yeah, so you can take that information as you will, little Dick. ]

private

[turbedon]

Don't think too much on it. It wasn't you, just like it wasn't really any of us. Just the Trumps playing games as always.

[backwordscompatible]

[As cheerful as he sounded over the Network--and she was starting to know the boy well enough (in multiple ways) to not believe that tone for a second--Zatanna was equally...exhausted. Dream-like, almost, in both tone and choice of vocabulary:]

M'here.

[Was it possible to yawn telepathically?]

Haven't really checked. Went straight to my room in the workshop soon as it appeared. Cranked the AC to 11.

Where are you?

[turbedon]

Did you take a nap? Sounds like you could use a bit more z's, Zee. [He's the most clever.]

I'm around, as always.

[detectivewonder]

A little holier than I used to be.

Fine otherwise.

[turbedon]

Kept your wings too, did you?

[howexciting]

... I am alive, if that is what you mean, yes. I have... as yet been unable to keep an accurate count.

[Mostly because he's been holing himself up, but whatever. Point still stands.]

[turbedon]

Good to know. I'll do a sweep of the roads to make sure no one's been run over along one of the roads, but so far everyone seems to be managing or being grabbed up by the more capable.

[darkhourdear]

I'm here! [even if he doesn't know who you are--] I'm Phillip. And I'm ok, I guess.

[turbedon]

Robin. Good to know one more person is present and okay. You don't need any help getting off the roads, do you?

[leftbehindagain]

Next time there's a nuclear-equivalent bomb in the area, I want nothing to do with it. Twice in a row is more than enough.

I'm guessing that didn't end well.

[shiroganeheir]

That is my feeling as well.

... to both of the comments.

[shiroganeheir]

This is Naoto Shirogane, reporting in. [Her mental voice sounds tired and a bit weak.]

I have not seen any newcomers, however I have only taken a short flight over the roadways.

[howexciting]

... it is good to hear from you.

[His mental voice is heavily relieved, but tired.]

[creativefool]

Yo. Riding around and lookin' out for folks myself. Anyone been hurt? I, uh- can probably manage a coupla tricks t' help there...

[turbedon]

Seems like no one's seriously injured but there are a few scrapes and bruises around the place. Might want to coordinate with the other healers we've got to patch everyone up.

[thirdarrow]

Kobayakawa Takakage. I am safe and unharmed, and Amada Ken as well.

[ He sounds tired as well - though it's due to a more immediate cause. ]

If you need to locate someone, I have a scanning ability that can be useful.

[turbedon]

Way ahead of you. If you take one sector while I sweep the other though, we can cover more territory.

[wholeheaded]

Still here, barely. No new faces yet that I know of, or folks missing that I've noticed but... it's hard to be sure for either of those.

[howexciting]

... Giovanni is missing. Dio mio...

[Audio]

[neverfeltthatway]

Umm. I'll try to figure out who all is missing. My list of Travelers probably isn't comprehensive... but it's pretty close.

I'll - I'll announce it once I figure it out.

[Unlike usual, Armin's only broadcasting his voice - his face is not visible. There's a gravid pause before he continues.]

...Are you all right?

[turbedon]

Just peachy~ Think I'll get the lightcycle out for a spin.

[flatteries]

I don't think it's merely newcomers that require the help, actually..

[ It's sort of awkward to admit. He doesn't really want to say that he's a weenie who's never dealt with anything faster than a horse and carriage before, but..

.. well, that's basically what's going on here. Sue him. ]

[turbedon]

[There's a ripple of amusement, almost like laughter.] Alright, I'll come find you.

[purseownerisme]

...I'm here.

[turbedon]

Great! Do you need help getting to safety?
