(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.

But... why? I understand not wanting to talk to people but why do you need a collecting game to do it? Does nobody play physical games anymore? What happened to playing catch? Or kicking a ball about?

[ Or, you know, to eat every night. ]
If it's any consolation, you could pass for an older person in the here and now with those questions. You'd just need to shake your cane and tell all those young whippersnappers to get off your lawn.
...Really, though, I don't see how it has to be an either/or thing. There are more options these days, is all. And with video games, no one cares if you have to use a wheelchair, or you can't catch a ball to save your life, or you're just the ugly weird kid nobody likes. You can play anyway. I only ever got to play video games a little bit, after I got adopted, and I had more interesting ways to spend my time by then, but I can see the appeal.
