Why is there music?
And why, if there must be music, must it be this?

Joscelin?
Oh shit, it's been months. Jaunts. You know.

Uu! I think it's a circus!

Well, I guess you can't ask for better hold music than that, can you?

Thorne.
I didn't imagine it was just a few nights.

No fucking clue. But, uh, maybe it's a side-effect of Felicia breaking the traveler catcher.
Breaking the -
Maybe you had better begin earlier.

Okay. Um. First of all, did I ever show you my notes from when we had that expedition to Fortune's deadspace? Because we found the thing that catches Travelers. It's, like, a giant gashapon thing.
And she broke it. Said she was gonna break it? Time is funny. It's because she wanted to give us more time to see what crazy new shit we could do here. She's very excited about us learning crazy new shit.

Felicia. Felicitè, Felicitas...
Fortune. Fortune broke the mechanism by which Travelers are collected?
... How many of them are left in the game?

Oh right, sorry. I forgot for a minute that you forgot Mars and how she was basically being a disembodied voice named Felicia there and you were being Jesse then anyway. And that you weren't here either time she crashed my Salons in her cute new body.
Yeah, she's like... a new convert to the idea that Travelers are people. Which means she's super gung-ho about it.
And. Uh. There's four left. Two more matches, we think. Since their numbers got skewed because of loopholes and shit, they did a three-party match the last Jaunt and they'll probably do another for our next.
At some point... I need to talk to you in person in a created room about some shit. But not necessarily right away.

I think for now I should remain on...
I should help shepherd the new arrivals.
But when this slows down, yes, certainly.
I hope that I've returned to stay, but if not... I'd like to make preparations, this time.

Yeah. That's a good idea.
... I'm glad you're back, Joscelin. I've missed you.

Music aside, has anyone else noticed that it's weirdly easy to pick out the new people, this time around?
Wait. The network here is in our heads?
This is SO CONVENIENT!
This is SO CONVENIENT!
The music is pretty distracting, though. Isn't there any way to turn it off?
Probably not! But at least we don’t have to sing!
I'm destined to the crossroads. No matter how many times I go, I'll always return.
I'm pleased someone does.
Do you know who is making it?
Do you know who is making it?
And to carry the lantern for the rest of us.
You've always been the one to illuminate my path for me, you know. What Would Joscelin Do? I don't always do it, but. I think about it.

That goes a way to explain the sorts of fool-headed trouble you get into, I confess.
