(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.

If she was actually able to adore things it would be Ryo. She hasn't had anyone to care for in years.
chalicejoker: (Satisfied)

Ryo will love the attention. Works out well for everyone involved.
virioncomplex: (smokey)

I'll be heading back soon, so I'll make sure she knows what to do.
chalicejoker: (Satisfied)

Awesome, thanks. I told Ryo that I'd bring him back a toy or something, just warning you. He may still be chattering on about that.
virioncomplex: (heh)

And you say you're not his father.
chalicejoker: (Uncertain)

[personal profile] chalicejoker 2016-07-13 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
He's just young! You don't leave a kid alone that long without bringing him something!
virioncomplex: (Default)

[personal profile] virioncomplex 2016-07-14 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
They do where I'm from. Only kids with parents get that kind of treatment.
chalicejoker: (Huh)

He crawled out of a spirit animal pool; he doesn't have any parents.

[There's a mental sigh.]

Someone's got to take care of him.
virioncomplex: (manip)

[personal profile] virioncomplex 2016-07-16 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Why does it bother you so much? You got any idea how many children wish they had parents?
chalicejoker: (Skeptical)

[personal profile] chalicejoker 2016-07-16 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
And of all the parents in the world, he ends up with me, of all people.
virioncomplex: (smokey)

[personal profile] virioncomplex 2016-07-18 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Could have been worse.
chalicejoker: (Skeptical)

[personal profile] chalicejoker 2016-07-19 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
...I guess so.
