[open broadcast for Investigators]

[unabatedly]

Now that we've been released, let's speak on where we are and what is going on.

For those of you new to our numbers, this is a Jaunt. We are brought to a particular world and given a task. What that task is...none can say. But it will be more apparent in time, and then we can take action.

[A pause, almost a sigh.]

However, we have to focus on a few things first, such as food and shelter, and finding our way around the city. We'll need to begin our search as soon as possible. Has anyone found anything suitable for us to use in the meantime? We should gather there and regroup.

And if anyone has heard about what was going on in the alleyway when we arrived? Or about the card that was left behind?

I can get us water fairly easily. Food? Not so much. Don't people give tithes or donations in this world?

[nicotinized]

Judging by how rough the city looks, I'm going to put my bets on 'no'. Rich get richer, and don't give a fuck about the rest of us. [Just like home. Even if 'home' was a domed city with tech far in advance of this place]

[unabatedly]

Isn't that how everywhere is?

[How many elves are servants and slaves simply so they can keep their families fed and safe? She sighs ruefully.]

I'm going to try the churches. Someone should have something to spare, even if it's information. And I imagine a few people in the alleys would help too, if given the right incentive.

Supposedly humanity has had periods of not treating each other like shit, but I've yet to actually witness it.

Good a lead as any, though we'll probably have to start throwing money around to really get anywhere.

[unabatedly]

Unless some of us were to obtain employment, I truly doubt we can scrounge for money without resorting to theft. No one would want to hire strangers, especially those of our ilk.

[nicotinized]

There are probably places that hire day-workers - though I'm not sure where they'd put ads out here. It'd probably be rough, poorly paid, though.

There's always rolling more unsavory types for whatever they've got on them. [He may or may not have done this in the past once or twice......]

Maybe there are soup kitchens...

Oh man, I thought I'd be out saving worlds, not being homeless...

[wholeheaded]

It's possible to do both, you know. [ ask him how! ] Soup kitchens are a good idea, actually. It's good to make connections with generous folks.

[moredakka]

But they're already kidnapping us and throwing us into this situation without any clues or anything! And we're supposed to take care of food and things for ourselves too? How is that okay!

[wholeheaded]

It's... all right, it's not okay. It's just sorta part of the challenge. Fortunately there's a lot of folks with a lot of know-how to sort it out, we should be on our feet pretty quick.

[moredakka]

Is it like this every time we get to a new place?

[wholeheaded]

I actually don't know, this is just my second jaunt. Last time there was a hotel we were all able to stay in but...dunno if we'll be that lucky this time.
