This is my first time actually trying to make a message through the whole network... hopefully this will work.

[Jean sounds rather exhausted as he talks. While he had been away from the dungeon for some time, he still hasn't really recovered completely. Not with all the damn emotions and thoughts he had to process. Now he had finally sorted out the most important things so he was ready to talk with others to apologize or just explain.]

To anyone who interacted with Jan Wirths at the previous Jaunt. If there's something you need to talk to me about with that, I'm at workshop for most of the time. I know there were some things that he did that were rather fucked up.

[That's actually an understatement, at least in Jean's mind.]

... and well, if someone wants to tell me a bit more about Persona's, I would appreciate it. Now that I've rested I might understand any explanations a bit better.

And then things that happened in the dungeon... I'm ready to talk about them now.

[He's really been avoiding everyone for some time now. Especially one called Eren Jaeger, who he heard perfectly well over the network the other day. He almost adds "Jaeger stay out or I'll feel worse" but

1) Mikasa wouldn't like that
2) Eren would yell at him
3) Headache guaranteed

So he just leaves this as this.]

(ooc: Jean is back from his dungeon and can be found mostly from the workshop!)

Oh. [Well, at least 'face ourselves' part hit the right topic. Though the more he thinks of the words, the more sense they make with the whole shadow deal.]

That kind of sounds accurate... with what I meant.

...If it wasn't that, what did you mean?

[It's the only 'persona' Worick's aware of, anyway.]

Some sort of a power. New means to fight in this place, basically.

Fighting? [He laughs, half incredulous, half amused.] And here I thought we were just supposed to try not to die and leave it at that.

[Seriously, what's he supposed to do with giant slabs of glass and creepy pumpkin animals? Shoot them? And then there's the Trumps or whatever they are...

Nnnno thanks. He's gonna establish himself first, and fight later. Probably.

...Maybe. We'll see.]

[You're in for some surprised, Worick.]

That might include fighting. We never know what to expect on the Jaunts we get sent to. Sometimes we might have to solve riddles, sometimes fight... sometimes solve riddles while fighting.

Riddles, too? Covering all their bases, I guess... Damn.

That's what happened in the first Jaunt I was in. Among other things.

[Like genderswapping...]

...Do I wanna know?

Depends. If you want to be prepared for any jaunts to come, you might. If you just want to go in without knowing anything, be my guest.

[Damn, kid, talk about a buzzkill...]

[A thoughtful sound.]

...Probably best not to go in blind, you're right. What else're we talking about, here?

[You have reached Jean's buzzkill services. How may I help you?]

Well, you get powers that you don't usually have. You may also change your appearance. Clothes are usually modified to fit the world.

[Important and not so important things, the main issue would be this.]

You might have heard about it already, but you or your friends might act like they're part of the world we go to. You don't have any control over the person you are and you remember everything you did once we get back here.

[~~Thank you for calling the Handymen...~~]

I heard a little about that, yeah... [Not getting any say, being warped to fit whatever roles these 'Trumps' want them to play... Pretty terrifying and horrible, but not exactly a surprise by this point. The human mind sure is a wonderful thing, all resilient and shit...] Not the appearance thing, though. So what, they give us all makeovers before they drop us in the middle of wherever?

[...They'd better not cut his hair, dammit!]

Mostly just the clothes and not even those in some places. I guess it's to make us fit better with the natives of the world?

[Of course, that could just be another infiltrator thing (tm) but it's better to warn than be sorry.]

I mean, if they want us to be even remotely successful in blending in I guess they gotta give us something.

[He makes a face, not that Jean can see it.]

But if they can do all that, can't they just, I don't know... Do whatever it is themselves?

[That's just lazy.]

Either they can't or don't want to. They might just enjoy watching us struggle.

What a waste of energy... They can't just get laid like everybody else?

[.........Sorry Jean.]

[. . . . . . .]

What kind of a world do you live in?

A normal one? I mean, normal for me... There's like two things that make that world go 'round: money... And the other thing.

[Let's all be glad that Worick is, in fact, capable of playing things down from time to time...]

Must not be the case for these Trump guys, though.

[Call him presumptuous, but he's gonna go ahead and assume that paying the Trumps off proooobably isn't gonna get anyone very far.

...The 'other thing', though. Now there's an idea.

STAY TUNED FOR 'WORICK'S TERRIBLE ADVENTURE IN TRYING TO SEDUCE A TRUMP'.......]

Yeah, that's definitely not normal for where I come from.

[What makes their world go around? Good question. If he'd say killing and training for military then it might get a little awkward, perhaps.]

I don't think anyone's asked what the Trumps do for fun... or if they'd even answer.

[Damn, what kind of weird ass place is this kid from then? That's pretty much the historical standard for how places are run.

...Maybe he's just too young to get it. That wouldn't surprise him.

IN ANY CASE....!]

Well shit-- someone's gotta get on that, then. That's like Kidnapping 101, right after telling them your name and how you know they don't wanna hurt you.

[...What can he say? He'd flipped through some pretty morbid books as a kid.]

[Have another pretty long silence at that.]

You sound like you're an expert on either kidnapping or being kidnapped.

Nah, I just work in a shitty town with a lot of shitty people. Comes with the territory.

[Also his dad was just well-to-do enough that hostage situations were a distinct possibility he'd had to be aware of.]

Well, welcome to another shitty... well, not a town but a place anyway. Stuff here most likely isn't much better than there.

So I've gathered... [He's had enough conversations to get the gist of it by now. Not that he'd expected a hostage situation to be all sunshine and daisies but damn, this place? Total shitshow.

And he hasn't even been on a Jaunt yet.

Still, he's gonna wait and see before getting all doom and gloom about it. What's that gonna solve...?]

Anyway... Since I'm guessing Jung wasn't the answer you were looking for, I'm not gotta keep you from whatever that is. Good luck, kid.
