Headcount

[solowing]

[The voice is... familiar, yet different. Older, or is it younger? People who spoke to the Batman Grayson before he vanished might say the latter. Those more familiar with Robin might say the former.

Whatever the case, it's businesslike as he checks into the network.]

Nightwing here, doing a headcount. Anyone gone missing since the last Jaunt?

Nightwing?

[ Pause. ]

Define 'last jaunt'.

[solowing]

Can't. It's a little... hazy.

[mysunnydisposition]

...right. Sorry to ask because this is super weird, but which Dick am I talking to right now?

[wholeheaded]

[ oh. gosh. ]

Still here. Ah. Kinda picked up a codename myself last jaunt.

[solowing]

[Gosh indeed. Goshawk, even.]

Yeah, I heard that seemed to be a Thing that was happening. Anything fun?

[wholeheaded]

...Captain Blackhawk. And this time I actually was part bird.

[ eventually he'll get around to asking Dick how he is, and maybe tell him what happened in Alcuin's dungeon, but that'll wait until they're in the cave playing Mario Kart probably. ]

[detectivewonder]

My head is still here, but I don't know if it counts.

[solowing]

What about everything from the neck down?

[detectivewonder]

No problems from the neck down. Nothing current, anyway.

[asinisterkid]

So does this mean you actually know me now, in your universe? Or is that one of those things that our universes don't have in common?

[solowing]

I know you.

You're not back, yet. [He's clinging onto that yet.]

[asinisterkid]

...Here's hoping.

I'd tell you where I was, but from what I hear, you don't get to remember useful things like "Check the Gotham coma wards and look out for messed up street kids matching my description."

Of course, Talia had pretty much the only conceivable way to fix the brain damage, so it probably works out for the best if it goes my way, but... Woulda been nice to be found by someone not the al Ghuls.

Cool name. I'm just Jolie, Jolie Harmony, and I like my name but it's a lot less cool than "Nightwing".

Also, I'm kinda new, so I don't know if anybody's missing. I don't know a lot of people yet. But I figured I'd say hi anyway, because the more I talk on this network thing, the less weird it'll seem, right?

[solowing]

It tends to help, yeah. Nice to meet you, Jolie. Are you doing okay? I know things can be a bit disturbing when you first start here.

[mytearsaremine]

You're lucky you missed when I first showed up, I think. I kind of screamed at everybody on the network. Or broadcasted really loud, anyway. I kind of panicked. I'm better about it, now, though infiltrating kind of sucks. Even if I was a lot like me, just older. And more human.

[neverfeltthatway]

I'm still checking through to figure out who's missing - I've been delayed a little thanks to all the dungeons. I should have a list to post in a couple days.

Nightwing? Are you... Robin, but older?

[solowing]

More or less, but can't use 'Robin' anymore. Graduated, I guess.

[theflyingone]

And here I believed no one cared enough to count. I am Altaïr. It is a pleasure. [ He seems more about business than pleasure, but details. ] Malik, Leonardo, Ezio, Riddick, Thorne, Claudia, Sansa, Melissa, Laura, Lupa, Jason, Jay, are all accounted for. The one who went by Blackhawk last Jaunt and the Bronze Blade are here. Helena has returned from an absence. Jack, the woman with the shaved head, I have not seen.

There are others whose names I do not know. Are you looking for anyone in particular?

[solowing]

No, just keeping track of them. If I have a name, I can at least track them down in Liminal Space to make sure they're actually gone before people start panicking.

[brokers]

Jack is gone. If you managed to befriend her during her time here, I'm sorry.

[brokers]

I believe the higher than normal incidence rate of dungeon portals since we returned to Liminal Space may have made determining who is missing this time difficult.

Welcome back.

[solowing]

People must be hitting breaking point. Or having their mid-Liminal crises together.

How're you doing?

[what_do_you_see]

You sound older.

[solowing]

Funny. I am older.

[dino_zarf]

Hard to be sure with all the dungeons going on, but I can't find any sign of River.
