[Open Broadcast]

[protect_and_serve]

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.

I don't know that name. ["Thedas"? Doesn't sound like anywhere she's been, even accidentally.]

What kind of healing do you have?

[unabatedly]

I'm not surprised. No one else does.

[Ah, well.]

I can heal physical injuries and also spiritual ones. Spirit Healing is something I'm attuned to and study back in my home.

[rekkaning]

["Spirit Healing" sounds familiar, but since she doesn't know what "Thedas" is, she should probably define that term.]

What do you mean by healing the spirit? Telepathic attack, or something else?

[unabatedly]

Not an attack, no. In my world, spirit healers reach across the Fade to ask for a spirit's strength in helping to heal the person they are trying to save. It takes a great deal of energy, but it would allow me to heal multiple people at once and to heal them very thoroughly, even if they are on the brink of death.

[Unfortunately, it's not so simple in these other worlds. But that's not something she'll say aloud, if only because it might frighten some.]

It's a useful tool where I'm from but also dangerous. Not all spirits are benevolent ones.

[rekkaning]

I see.... [Not like how she's used to thinking of "spirit healing" at all, so it takes her a second to process it entirely.]

So, for example, you could support two groups on different fronts?

[unabatedly]

I could, I believe. It would depend on the size of the groups and how far apart they were from one another.

[rekkaning]

[That's about the extent of her tactical planning. Not that she set out deliberately to think about that.]

Who are you associated with?

[unabatedly]

[That's a bit of a loaded question.]

Here? No one, other than our fellow Travelers. Back home? I'm a Warden.

[rekkaning]

[She was wondering if there's any common ground, and she supposes that counts.]

In other words, a protector?
