(a few hours into the Jaunt, open broadcast)
[Joscelin's voice, sent across the network, is warm, dry, composed - instilled with enough confidence, he hopes, to reassure the new and uncertain.]
A calm beginning makes for a welcome change. We should still start sharing what we know. Who's with us, and who is missing? Who is infiltrating? What do we know about this world?
If this is your first Jaunt - and there were many new faces in Liminal Space - ask for assistance, and we'll give it.
I'll begin. This is Joscelin Verreuil. We're on the coast of an island, somewhere between Alba and Terre D'Ange- England and France, I think, locally. Magic of some sort appears to be open and commonplace. I can't make sense of their calendar, but we're in or just after the Twentieth Century, as.... Christians... reckon time. This is a port where foreigners are common and unremarked. I have clothes that fit the era, and in my pockets were ten five-pound notes. The Trumps don't mean for us to be spotted immediately, or starve, but I can't guess more than that.

Claudia Donovan, not new to Traveling by a long shot but this is Baby's First Investigation. Got my google-fu on at the library to figure out what was up with the date - it's 2016 by a Gregorian calendar, but there was apparently some weirdness with Halley's Comet when it passed through in 1910, which explains the '106' business.
It looks like those of us with ridiculous jaunt skills can pass them off as a side effect of the comet thing. Probably better to stick to one thing, or at least one at a time, but we have some options.
What's worrying me is the fact that the comet weirdness sometimes attaches itself to objects and not just people... but that's something I can noodle out alongside figuring out what the big deal here is.

Other Grid stuff is probably gonna be more case-by-case basis, same for Nova Venezia remnants. But this place will forgive a multitude of weirdness, if we need it to.
