[Armin tries to look professional, but this liminal has been trying, in a number of ways. He keeps his face neutral, but he looks tired - and there's a tension to his expression, just a hint of sadness.]

I have the list of those Travelers who are no longer with us. To be clear, I am only including Travelers who have been here for at least a jaunt. There are too many who both arrived and vanished in the last couple weeks for me to include them all, since I never met most of them. If anyone wants to know whether somebody who showed up during the last couple weeks is still here, however, I can find out.

Nicholas. Istas. Elliot. Byerly. Zatanna. Mikleo. Doujima. Robin. Neeshka. Hal. Sorey.

[He goes quiet for a long moment, before continuing on a different vein.] Most of you will probably have noticed, but this liminal space seems to be messing with our heads - making people more cynical and paranoid.

Eldritch defenses work against this influence.

I'm not sure exactly what this means, but we should be on guard. However, I have searched thoroughly and I can find no trace of the King in Yellow's sign.

Private to infinity

[neverfeltthatway]

[He hesitates, uncertain.]

...You think so?

[Because Armin is a dumb, and assumes Alcuin would rather be comforted by Alcuin's other friends - Leo, or Joscelin, or Thorne herself.]

Yeah. Or at least talk to him. I mean, he's sort of hiding from everyone now, but he'll still talk to people. Especially since I don't think he and Leo are made up. Leo got... weird when An-- Delaunay showed up.

[neverfeltthatway]

...All right. If you think it'd help I'll, I'll find him.

[He trusts you, Jiejie. You're more of a people person than he is. Even so, he looks concerned.]

He fought with Leo?

[thornsofmalkav]

I'm not sure if they fought exactly, but... well. Uh. Shit got complicated. I know there's weirdness between Alcuin and Leo and between Alcuin and Malik, but I dunno exactly what.

Although I'd bet money if we had it that part of Leo's weirdness is because Anafiel Delaunay is like literally the most important person in the world to Alcuin, even more important than Alcuin's boyfriend.

[And definitely more important than her. She remembers how Alcuin had broke the plans they'd tentatively made in the wake of her confession to him in order to be with his lord... even if he'd come to her the morning after ready to make up for it.]
