[Is it possibly for a mental voice to sound giddy? Because there's a distinct giddy tinge to By's thoughts, for all that his words come out with his normal, lazy, lightly Russian-accented drawl.]

Byerly Vorrutyer here. We're on Earth, pre-spaceflight, although someone who isn't me will need to get a better read on the actual date and location. Linguistically, it's a hodgepodge. I can hear archaic Russian, a whole host of Asiatic and Romance languages, and something else I can't quite place.

If you can "hear" this, check in. We need to know who we've got to work with.

I mean uhm. This is Sera! I think this is one of those other versions of Earth where everything goes weird.

I think so too, Sera. How have you been handling things?

I'm a little rusty on this since I haven't been myself since Heartbeak Academy, but I've managed to stop myself from saying anything dumb by giving vague answers. ...It's kind of sad my whole family is Infiltrating though.

[If you haven't said anything dumb you're doing better than him.]

I'm sorry, Sera. Do you want to talk about it at all?

[shantiprayer]

I don't know. I don't know what there'd be to say. I just need to wait until the end of the Jaunt and then I'll have them all back.
