Check-In [Week 1]

[helborn]

All right, you know the deal. If you're yourself, psychically raise your hand.

Or, uh, if that doesn't make sense to you, just... let people know you're you. I'm myself, obviously, but I have no idea what the hell my archetype or role is. I was infiltrating last time as Ace -

- shit, I need to avoid him. Anyway! Yeah. Uh. ... Yeah...

[His psychic voice just trails off as the awkward overtakes him.]

[There's a laugh.]

Oh, no, Monkey's just his name. He's a gryphon! I stole his egg on my very first Jaunt, he's been with me this whole time.

[okanetendo]

You got a Gryphon egg from your Jaunt? Lucky. I went to the tinseltown Jaunt instead and all I got was this lousy PTSD.

[tailforbrains]

Well, I mean, I had to steal it. I climbed a tower to get that egg. Totally worth it, of course, he's great.

[There's a pause, and then:]

What's a PTSD?

[okanetendo]

Did the person who you stole it from have it coming?

Think of it as a very technical term for 'I got scarred for life.'

[tailforbrains]

Oh, well. I guess a lot of people have that.

And... you know, I don't actually know. I didn't ever meet who actually owned it. But the guardian of the egg wasn't hard to convince to let me have it, so maybe they did.
