welp

As the people's poet Ice Cube once said, more than a quarter century ago, "Fuck the police."

Or, I guess, fuck the secret police. Same principle.

Um. Hi. So. Uh. I'm dead again. My overlay was snooping around the site for the Solomon Ring, she got caught by a Manticore Squire, he took her off for questioning and called in a Knight to help him... and let's just say the interrogation went poorly. I'm pretty sure that's what they're going to say in their report about my death. If they don't just go and erase the tapes to cover it up. Which they might. They're a secret police after all.

Anyway, right before the Knight freaked out and I died, the Knight put his hand on my head and said, and I quote, "Oh god, they're back."

Which, um, is kinda worrying.

Also, uh. I should probably let people know that my overlay's boss, Dr. L, is trying to mess with the Solomon Ring for his own purposes. And, uh, he's hella psychic, if only short-ranged, so he knows there's something up with Investigators, if not exactly what. But he's not hostile to us. A little wary, but not hostile.

Anyway, can people keep an eye out the next couple days to see if my death is at all announced or if there's a cover-up? Hajime, you should be able to tell if anyone from the government goes to Dr. L. He's, like, listed as my overlay's employer on her work visa. Because if I'm not officially dead, I'm going to take advantage of the other Thorne's bank account while I still can and maybe see if I can pretend to be her in other ways until the Jaunt ends.

Alcuin's gone. I tried to psychic message him as soon as I woke up here.

He's not on a walkabout or anything. He was here on the Jaunt. I met him. He called himself Alan and... I guess it doesn't matter.

He's been really fucked up since-- since Delaunay vanished. And he and Leo were fighting again. And maybe Malik too?

He's probably in a dungeon now. If I hadn't been Infiltrating...

Querido, do you mind coming to see me for a little while? I could use some company. [And the comfort of eating straight from the tap as it were.]

Well, it is a telepathic skill, so I don't see a reason why we'd need to meet in person.

It's not that hard either, you just need to focus on the person you want to contact - and keep the focus on as you talk to them. It sort of feels like you build a wall or a barrier around the conversation - at least to me it does.

I haven't tested it, but it should work the other way around as well. Think about needing to cover your thoughts from a specific person. At least it should work in theory.

Awesome.

...and, okay, so you just like...build a mental wall to keep them out?
wildmagician: (Winter fun)

[personal profile] wildmagician 2016-07-26 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Basically, yeah.

I think it's at least worth a try. You might want to test it before going out. Try blocking your thoughts from me and keep talking to the network. Name's Yosuke.

I'm Hajime.

And let me try...

[He proceeds to broadcast a few thoughts about food, of all things. Dude's got some strong opinions about sushi. Yosuke will probably pick up on a few snippets of that, like it's muffled. Hajime's still learning.]
wildmagician: (Thumbs up)

[personal profile] wildmagician 2016-07-29 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yosuke lets his focus drop, so he accidentally doesn't try hacking onto Hajime's talk (since he learned Filter Intrusion earlier in the week). He's sure he isn't forcibly listening to his conversation.]

It's definitely a weaker voice than before. Just not there just yet. Keep trying and you'll get a hang of it.
chalicejoker: (Satisfied)

Great, thanks.

I'll keep practicing...and this is definitely going to save my bacon later on.
