Headcount, 1, 2, 3...

[turbedon]

Well. That was fun. [He's had far too much practice sounding sarcastic even in his head, but he's at least keeping the fatigue out.]

Glad not to be hobbling around on geta anymore, though I got to keep the mask? What is with the Trumps and owls and me?

Anyway, is everyone okay? If we're missing someone, let me know and I'll see if I can sniff them out to double-check.

Helena's gone.

[leftbehindagain]

[Stunned silence.]

[turbedon]

[Scanning.... scanning........]

... Yeah, she is... Sorry. Were you close to her?

[claudiometer]

From home, yeah.

[Any other jaunt she'd probably be coping better. But... well.]

[detectivewonder]

I'm here.

[turbedon]

Oh, good. Was worried you might have gotten blown up - that was you with the Akuryu, right?

[detectivewonder]

That was me. I avoided explosions. At least. Literal ones.

[thornsofmalkav]

I dunno. Isn't your name Robin? Can't they use your actual bird motif?

[turbedon]

You'd think that, but they never do.

[thornsofmalkav]

Jesus. That's a really obvious one to hit, too.

[willyousee]

Here... I am glad you came through all right. [He worried, okay.]

[turbedon]

Thanks. Good to hear you around.

Also, thanks for trying to take care of the other guy, even if he didn't really deserve it.

[willyousee]

I did not do a very good job, but for what it was worth, you are welcome. I take it he was a consummate actor.

[wholeheaded]

They're fond of owls for a few of us. And then there's me with bonus peacocks, which is more proof that Traveling is for the birds. [ very, very occasionally he misses his tail, okay. but for now they'll be flippant until things decide to get real. ]

I'm still here, and not really worse for wear. Got slightly squashed but I got better.

[turbedon]

'Squashed'?

[wholeheaded]

There was a landslide, I got a little banged up, dislocated a shoulder again. Good thing other folks can heal, I'm fine now. How are you?

[mysunnydisposition]

So much fun. Any chance someone can tell me how everything shook out? Especially with the Mibugumi. I didn't get to see the end.

I'm fine, for the record. Got a little bit stabbed, but I guess it was about time that happened again...

[turbedon]

... You have really bad luck with Jaunt stabbings, huh? Did you get that taken care of?

[i.e. Are you okay?]

[mysunnydisposition]

Hey, I was doing okay for a while there! Sometimes things just... happen.

But yeah, I'm good now.

[truerevelation]

...It was a mess. Startin', stoppin', waiting for the other guys to make the next move... until the Shogun's guys heard about their boss dyin' and got outta town.

So... we won, but it was still ugly.

[mysunnydisposition]

God. I'm sorry you got left to deal with it. Sorry I wasn't around to help.

...glad to hear it turned out better than I was expecting, though. Thanks.

[what_do_you_see]

Owls suit you.

[turbedon]

You sure about that? I am a Robin, you know.

[asinisterkid]

If by 'okay' you mean 'not dead again anymore', then yeah, I'm that.

...Does being someone else ever get easier, or is it an extra special mind-screw each and every time?

[turbedon]

Mostly no. But at least sometimes the Trumps are 'nice' enough to give you infiltrator overlays who share your personality and some background history.

[Unlike this time, but anyway...]

... You going to be okay?
