[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... I'm not sure.

[He spend a moment reinforcing his psychic barriers even more than usual for a private conversation. He doesn't know if it'll do any good, but he has to try.]

We definitely don't want to be interrupted, and liminal space would seem to be ideal for that - but here, the Trumps are probably less likely to see what we're doing, and less likely to be able to interfere.

I'm not sure if they care enough to interfere, but I also wouldn't bet too far on it.

As far as I know, nobody's tried to directly circumvent our memory loss this way. If it was the Trumps that caused it in the first place, they had a reason, and I don't want to take any chances when there's no precedent for how they might respond - especially when both of our minds may be more vulnerable to attack. [He doesn't know that they will be, but it's definitely a concern of his.] I think getting a private room at a hotel would probably be the best option here.

Wh-what do you think?

[Private]

[hakodate]

Well, it's more that I'm not sure they care because I'm not sure if the memory loss was intentional or just a side effect that they don't care about one way or another.

But like I said, I'm also not going to put all my money on that being right. A hotel sounds like a safer bet.

Have you seen any places that might work? I have some money from when we arrived - from what I've gathered of how much it's worth, a night or two shouldn't be a problem.

There's a hotel not too far east of where the smaller balloons are berthed. Didn't look so seedy it made my skin crawl, but it didn't look like anything extravagant, either.

[Private]

[neverfeltthatway]

That should do. If it was fancy, it could have attracted too much attention anyway.

I'll meet you there in half an hour?

[Private]

[hakodate]

Too much attention, too much money. Middle of the road's the way to go on this one, I think.

I'll see you there.
