(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.

What kind of talk?

"This is only going to get crazier once they put up that ring thing," "The Solomon Ring's going to ruin everything," "What these people aren't thinking about are the possibilities of the Solomon Ring, and what it's going to do for trade, they're just running 'round like chickens with their heads cut off, too scared to know a good thing when they see it..."

More in-depth eavesdropping to come.

[... she's still kind of grumpy about you and your stupid killing people thing. However:]

That sounds a lot more like something we're supposed to deal with then a fancy phone game.

[ Well, this is awkward. Still, he can be civilized about this. ]

Yeah, that would be my guess.

I mean, there could be a supervillain out there with a plan to use Pokemon for evil, but there could be a supervillain out there with a plan to use liquid dish detergent for evil, too. You can never tell with those guys.

[highsteaks]

Probably there's a lot of supervillains who use, um, Pokemon for evil in the game.

[asinisterkid]

Yeah. But I'm pretty sure that's something that this world's heroes are equipped to handle, so unless I start seeing mindless Pokezombies coming after me, I'm gonna assume that Solomon Ring thing is more likely.

If I do see mindless Pokezombies, Malik gets to say he told us so.

[highsteaks]

... oh great.

[taiyny]

Sounds dangerous. We might not want to let that fall into the wrong hands. Any idea where it's going to turn up? I'd like to keep an eye on it.
