[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.))

Um, I'm Jules and I'm, uh, really good at climbing and perching on things.

And computers, but fat lot of good that's doing here.

[senpaidol]

Well hey, you never know. Naoto-kun taught me a couple of skills that are supposed to be used in a computer but work outside of it. She's kinda special, though.

Climbing's good, though. With all these trees and mountains, it's gonna be one of the easiest ways to scout, right?

[itsananimalthing]

We've been here before. Or I have, and Rosalie has. There were people here last time. Don't know if we're before or after that time, but I know this island.

[Hey, he's not giving his name, either. Have fun with that. At least they've met before!]

[nomorewaiting]

Ohh, so this really isn't how they usually are. Looks like we're in the smaller group... [Ed already explained it to her anyway. What a place for first jaunt / walkabout.]

Anyway, hi! I'm Winry Rockbell and anyone can give me a call if you need a mechanic / engineer for anything. I also have some medical knowledge. ...Are we like supposed to say that we can cook if we really can? Because I can, so there. Um, I don't really have any special skills like magic and I just got here among the new arrivals last week-ish.

Oh and I think you did it very well there, miss.

[Does it have to be very professional-like? Also yeah, she has no idea who she's thinking/talking to, because someone up there forgot her own name.]

Hello! My name is Yuna. I'm a white mage, so if anyone gets hurt, I will do my best to help. Otherwise...I don't know.

Does anyone know anything about this place?

[ringslinging]

I can make stuff. Energy constructs - won't help with the food situation, and I have to be able to give it at least a little of my attention to keep things going, but we need gear, I can do gear, as long as you don't mind it being a little...flashy.

I'm also pretty good at beating the crap out of things. That usually comes in handy.

Elliot Nightray, checking in. I don't have much to offer but a pretty good sense of direction, though.

[runawaystory]

This is Rosalie. Like Riddick said, I remember being here before, and there were people then.

Skills-wise, I doubt I have much that's useful. I can turn into a Synthetic too, at least.

[runawaystory]

It's a place called Belljar Island. We visited it before, a long time ago, though I think there's only a couple people here who actually remember that visit, like me. There was a city full of people then...

[final_summoner]

There doesn't seem to be anyone here now. That's...not good, is it? [Rhetorical question.]

If there's no city, how do you know it's the same place?

[flumine]

Who are you?

[comebewe]

Is there even anyone here that we literally can't see with our own eyes?

[were they all just doing the psychic equivalent of texting the person next to them?]

[senpaidol]

[She knows Riddick, even if she's unclear on how to spell his name.]

Huh. Do you think we just got really split up?

[senpaidol]

...er, sorry, you sound really familiar. You said your name is Winry? Not Yukari?

[senpaidol]

I am always for people around me being able to beat up dangerous stuff. Even when I try, I'm not very good at it, and even robot-me wasn't really physical...

[failgoyle]

Great, GREAT! Yes, great, awesome, I get to go out front, wonderful.

[senpaidol]

Huh? Oh, right!

Rise Kujikawa, sorry. One of the uh, Inaba crowd, if you know anyone else from there. Not that anyone else from there is here...

[senpaidol]

Hey, people are spreading out. This was easier than getting everyone's attention by banging on a drum or something.

[senpaidol]

Hey, that's as important as anything else. I can sorta do maps, and you can be a compass I guess?

[senpaidol]

Hey, psychic Synthfist!

Can you tell us what all you remember, though? I can try to go back through the network now, too, but I don't know how much people talked about being here.

[senpaidol]

Uh, yeah, up front and out of reach of most predators.

[failgoyle]

Some of these parrots could be secretly carnivorous, you never know.

[senpaidol]

[The mental feeling of raising a hand, then slowing lowering it.]

You know, I can't rule that out, but everything seems pretty normal so far.

[ringslinging]

I made a career out of it. I've got you covered.

[failgoyle]

I have seen things that defy human comprehension.

If the parrots all try to eat us, I will be entirely unsurprised.
