[Walkabout] *grabs conch shell*

[senpaidol]

Okay.

This looks pretty weird for a Jaunt, huh? I don't see most of the people I expected to, or anyone native. It's almost like we were shipwrecked without a ship, right?

Anyway, this kinda thing usually goes badly pretty fast in books and movies, so I think we should get organized early. Everyone who can hear me, let's please gather up and figure out who's here, what we can do, and what we're supposed to be doing. I haven't seen any natives or people acting like natives at all, so I don't think we have to worry about being suspicious.

The first thing I think we want to worry about is who's here and what we know how to do. I've never even been so much as camping, but I do know how to coordinate people when we're exploring. Got all kinds of magic stuff to do things like mapping, detecting monsters (which'll probably work on like, animals too), giving information to and from people really fast, and uh, literally helping anyone with anything. I don't totally understand the how on that last one, but basically anything you can do I can figure out a way to help.

Oh, and if we can't find food or water easily, I can turn into a Synthetic and save a little bit of that.

So yeah, sorry this isn't the most professional thing, but I think we should all check in and coordinate stuff here, so we can figure out what we're going to do...

[She forgot to mention her own name, though.]

((OOC: And oh yeah, feel free to use this post to ICly organize exploration groups if you aren't doing that elsewhere/off-camera.))

...or maybe they were left behind.

But we can make food and water now, right? I heard people talking about it in my head.

[flumine]

It would raise suspicion. Why are we here? How did we get in?

[senpaidol]

Well, that's the way with regular singing too, isn't it?

I'll be careful, though. Really, it just...sounds like a big step up in the abilities I already have, especially the navigation or strengthening ones. Those sound like exactly what I try to do for people already.

[senpaidol]

Yeah, supplies shouldn't be a problem, even if this place is abandoned. And if we search around, we might find something really interesting or useful to not having the Trumps push us around so much. I think we're in good shape, I just think running away will probably turn out worse than playing along.

[senpaidol]

Oh yeah, the force field thing. Is anyone checking that out...?

[heartofmetal]

[Ed would most likely be confused, but at least Rise sounded a bit more girly than Alphonse ever would... though it does give him a weird vibe.]

What's confusing you?

[senpaidol]

[To be fair, this guy's voice does sound a little deeper than Naoto's guy voice. A little.]

You know what, never mind. If you were Naoto-kun trying to prank me, I'd be able to tell.

[heartofmetal]

Well, I can say that I don't have any idea who this Naoto-kun is, so I'm not a part of any pranks.

[senpaidol]

Right...never mind.

Anyway, I think the surviving-in-nature part's gonna be really handy. Most of what we can see is jungle, so we're gonna have to go through that to find anything.

[heartofmetal]

Looks like it, yeah. At least in a jungle, we should have high chances of finding something to eat and make shelters with.

[senpaidol]

I guess that's true. We've got a number of people who can make stuff in Liminal Space, but the more we can find here the easier it is on them, and the more ability they have to make stuff like compasses or whatever.

[heartofmetal]

Yeah, they can't use their powers endlessly after all. So we have to do what we.

[flumine]

Swimming in the vicinity of unknown energy fields is inadvisable. We'll need a boat.

[That question is not really helping her case. Unless it's a joke, in which case it's... still not helping her case because for all Raidou knows, she's from a world where that actually does happen. Which is not impossible: case in point, this entire subject.]

It results in physical withdrawal symptoms?

[touchy_feeleo]

[It's interesting to see how easily you can get the hang of something (or maybe not) when most people probably couldn't see/hear you; although the "probably" is pretty tentative and hard to judge. Just going by telepathy for now.]

A Jaunt? What exactly is a Jaunt? [First timer here.] That being said... That would most likely be the best thing to do in this scenario. I don't exactly need to eat, but I can volunteer to look for food if necessary.

[itsananimalthing]

Pretty much. Guess we'll find out, see if we can hunt 'em down.

[senpaidol]

Uh...no. More habit-forming than addictive, I guess.

What kind of withdrawal symptoms?

[senpaidol]

Jaunts are when we're sent to another world by the Trumps. Liminal Space is apparently between all of them? Or...every possible world at once? I'm not really sure, but anyway, this is a different reality.

You don't need to eat, though? Are you a Synth...er, robot, or something else?

[capital_asset]

From what my overlay remembers, addicted Sirens mostly didn't eat or sleep, and were worn down accordingly. The majority of the effects were more mental: They were depressed and listless, but at the same time emotionally volatile, and they were highly suggestible.

[senpaidol]

[Well that's a little like getting burnt out on being an idol.]

I can't say I've had that happen from singing, but I've gotten over that kind of feeling before...if you don't want to teach me, you don't have to, but I'd do anything to help out, even dealing with that.

[capital_asset]

[Raidou is silent for a long moment as he thinks that over.]

...As long as you're sure.

[runawaystory]

...Um.

I have to admit, I spent a good chunk of that Jaunt drunk, drinking, or surfing the Internet, so... I'm not sure I have much to contribute.

[summerorange]

Not really, no. What kind of being is that?

[summerorange]

So, it's like a mental notification that something important needs to be discovered or done?

[Great Heavens above, where was this skill for the past year or so of her own travels? This would've saved her and her friends a lot of headaches...and maybe even a few lives, too.]

[capital_asset]

Something like that, yes.
