Back into the fray again, I suppose--
[Neria's voice echoes across the network, wry. She sighs.]
Welcome, new Travelers. I trust you can hear me. Wherever you are in Liminal Space, if you should require aid, you need only speak up or call out to the other Travelers around you. Though we're all strangers, I assure you that we're here to help.
[Which is your standard welcome, by all accounts. But she has a specific reason for requesting people's attentions this time.]
You might notice the portals that are leading out of Liminal Space. I would advise you be cautious until you've listened to what I have to say.
We are in the middle of an excursion into another world, something we do here very frequently. We have been tasked with aiding the realm of Dolorosa, a kingdom fraught with trouble. There is a missing queen and knights abound, with dragons and murderous barons. [She chuckles briefly.] I know it may sound fantastical and strange, but this is a reality you will be facing very shortly. I would caution you to ask your fellow Travelers, the other Veterans, about Dolorosa and how you can prepare, what you can expect, before moving on.
Rest assured, we will do all we can to help you.
I have but one request of all of you gathered here: should you find any herbs or anything of use, please collect them and bring them to me. I am one of the few here capable of healing injuries and my stock is low, a very dangerous thing considering what has transpired recently. [Her tone sounds almost bitter, colored with bemusement.] I would be highly grateful if you could bring me whatever you can. I cannot pay you, but it will certainly come in handy should you be injured along the way.
Oh, and do try to be inconspicuous. I've found that spouting inane babble about portals and other worlds tends to lead to trouble and a possible stay in a cell.
[Veteran Lock;]
We've spent a month in this place. What have we learned, and what's our next goal?

[Unfortunately.]
[lock]
Six years are fairly good odds considering the queen had no heir. If there had been someone... Ah, but she has a cousin, doesn't she?
[But no one seems too interested in doing that, or it would have happened already. This investigation is leaving them all stumped.]
We can pursue as many leads as we can for now and see where the pieces fit together.

I'll keep digging around here, probably, unless a good reason for me to look elsewhere comes up. The population increase in dragons may not match up to when the queen went missing, but it was sudden. There's got to be some meaning to that.

If there was some sort of correlation, all the better for us. But I don't know if the two events are entirely separate from one another. Be careful, Hijikata. I've fought dragons before and each time, there's been something significant about their presence.
And it's never been anything good.

Perry on one side, dragons on the other. It's not the first engraved invitation to hell I've gotten in my life. I'll manage.
