[Open Broadcast]

Who: Everyone on the telepathic network (which is everyone)
When: Just after the new arrivals show up.
What: Joscelin attempting to get things organized.

[There’s a lot of chatter going on, literally making it hard to hear yourself think, between veterans gossipping and speculating what the new wave of Travelers means, and accidental broadcasts by panicked new arrivals, until one hard-edged thought cuts through it all.]

Enough.

You all need to stop this before we drive ourselves insane.

Anyone with experience on the Network, I want a few organized broadcasts offering help and information to newcomers. We don’t call them Fools.

If you’re new, stay calm. No-one can overhear you unless you’re projecting. Try to divide yourselves as evenly as you can between the people giving you answers. That much is instinctive, you won’t have trouble as long as you can imagine it.

Anyone who’s been here longer and wants to speculate? Don’t do it publicly. Find your own little corners, or keep it off the network.

New telepaths. You’ll need to find someone more experienced more than anyone else does.

And everyone be ready for a new Jaunt.

[Curious, Zelman glances up and then turns and, without any thought or hesitation, simply walks up the side wall and along the ceiling until he stops a few feet away from Remy.

And then he offers a small half-smile and arches a brow.]

Remy LeBeau, Zelman Clock. It's a pleasure to meet you and I believe I am interested in hearing what's what with this place.

Thanks, the encouragement's actually encouraging. I'll work the room a bit, see if I can calm some jangled nerves.

Soooo... one two three, testing. [There's a brief pause as she tests just thinking at herself. It works up until she thinks about mentally sticking her tongue out at the guy who called her a fool, and wonders if he'll pick that up if she just imagined it to herself, at which point she loses it and imagines it out loud. Because Sio.]

PFFFBBTT - oh! Sorry! I'm sorry!!

moredakka: (please don't hurt me)

[personal profile] moredakka 2014-04-06 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[And that completely blows her tiny mind. Is this guy being nice to her? People don't just do that.]

I'll try harder from now on, I promise!

You'd be surprised how easy it is, just to sit down and start thinking at something till it changes here.

Only too glad to help. To begin... this isn't a place, so much as a spot where different places overlap.

[He arches an eyebrow and bridges a deck of cards between one hand another, back and forth, rapidly.]

When you look, hard to tell where one card ends and another starts, no? It's a little like that.

It doesn't matter if it's a mistake. [Flatly.] You're here now, and you can't change that.

But I don't know anything at all about investigating! Maybe I was supposed to be assigned to another department? There must've been a mixup...

[Unfortunately, Zelman's eyesight is considerably sharper than that of most human's, so the explanation isn't the best example - he can see each card perfectly. The point, however, he gets and so he simply nods a bit.]

And just how did we get to this overlapping space? Or more to the point, how do we leave?

That's all. Just like all there is to using a sword is putting the pointy end in the other homme, no?

The hard part is usually that the other guy is trying not to let you put it there.

So. Does Liminal Space bite back?

We were brought here by somebody with bad manners and good taste. When they have something for us to do, we get sent out to do it.

The one who taught me said it was like inertia. Everything likes to stay the way it is. You have to learn where you get the leverage to push harder. At least, you do to poke a hole between any Jaunt and here.

That all? You almost had me worried for a minute there, LeBeau.

[He's already quite sure that it's not easy, but Hijikata's pretty good at just stubbornly wanting shit more than the next guy over. He's pretty sure he can figure this out.]

The hardest part is having enough time here to practice. And at the moment, you have nothing but. So no worries.

And what incentive could this person possibly offer me to get me to do his bidding.

[He shrugs and starts to pull a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket.]

I'm not exactly the 'at your beck and call' sort.

Makes sense. If I don't manage to get much practice in, that's good for us.

[Because it means they're not doing this again.]

Got some shit to clear up with the kids first, but the way our luck's been going, I doubt that's going to take up all the time we have left here.

Half the time, mon ami, they don't give you the choice. They send you to the new world believing you were born and raised there. The other half... until you do the job, you don't come back. And they don't send us to many delightful vacation spots.

That's the spirit.

I'd show you more, but the more energy I spend on that, the thirstier we all get.

I'll take a raincheck on that for when we get back from the next one.

[When, not if.]
