[Walkabout] *grabs conch shell*

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.))

[He's still suspicious of these people, but it does seem true that they had no more choice in being brought here than he did, and sharing what they can do, how they can help each other survive, is something he can't argue the merit of.]

...I'm Imriel. I grew up in the mountains, so I know my way around that kind of terrain.

Nice to meet you, Imriel. I'm Rise.

That'll be really helpful. If I know anything about how the Trumps do things, they're going to want us to explore.

[tobegood]

...They want us to explore? For what? There's no-one here!

What can we find on a deserted island that they can't, when we don't know what we're looking for?

[senpaidol]

I think that's part of what we need to find out, sadly...

[tobegood]

So... what happens if we don't do what they want? [That's one portion of the Traveler introduction that he feels is particularly lacking.]

[senpaidol]

Well, that's an interesting question. Supposedly, this is the same world where Travelers asked that question before and just...wandered off.

Afterward, most of them disappeared from Liminal Space while the rest were brought back to it. Maybe they escaped, or were sent home because they weren't playing along, but the conditions for the people who stayed got pretty bad. No access to food or water, that kind of thing.

[tobegood]

...or maybe they were left behind.

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

[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.
