[open] Malik... Approves?!??!?!

[loyalrebel]

[It's later in liminal time that Malik speaks up over the network. And he's... not angry, or yelling. Which might be weird, considering it's him.]

Congratulations are in order, I believe.

Those of you who were investigating handled the situation about the forced divide in January with subtlety and tact, I am... pleasantly surprised. Riots did not occur, nothing was set on fire, and nobody had clothing stolen or unwillingly removed.

I am, in truth, proud of the way it was handled. You did very well.

[That is all.]

Comments

[loyalrebel]

[No, he's not but that's neither here nor there on this.]

Why do you ask?

[highsteaks]

Usually when you talk in everyone's heads you're yelling at us. I think maybe this is the first time you've ever not just shouted at everybody.

[loyalrebel]

It is also the first time since I have been here that people have handled a jaunt without noticeably causing panic and chaos in the world we are sent to.

I do not congratulate mistakes that bring danger to people.

[highsteaks]

... actually, I don't think you've ever yelled about Jaunts before when I've been here, except to complain about phone games [like an old man] in Newport.

Just other stuff.

[LIKE AN OLD MAN.]

[loyalrebel]

...you do realized that it was the first time I had encountered a telephone game, correct? I am from 1195, electricity is still a bit new to me.

You were not around for Nova Venezia, let alone other jaunts. The Travelers do not have a good track record of keeping things peaceful.

[highsteaks]

Jeez, no wonder you act like an old man.

[Uh. She didn't mean to say that out loud.]

No, this was only my third Jaunt. And except for the weird beach titan which everyone thought was just, you know, an actual titan, nobody seemed to notice or care about the Travelers in Stabiae either.

[loyalrebel]

Yes, well. Even idiots get lucky now and again.

[Sorry not sorry, he hates Eren. A lot.]

[highsteaks]

[Let's. Maybe not talk about Eren.]

So you've been here forever, right? Was Newport how stuff usually goes?

[loyalrebel]

[Yeah. Good plan.]

I believe this was my twelfth Jaunt. Newport was how most think something going well is.

[highsteaks]

Holy crap. How bad do the Jaunts we fail at go?

[...]

Wait, why did we get rewarded for Newport and punished for this one?

[loyalrebel]

I believe we have only failed one, and that was in Purgatory. Liminal space was trying to kill us with automobiles.

...This is not a punishment, at least I do not see it as one. But then again I have ""unpopular opinions"".

[highsteaks]

But it's so creepy. Everything is made of dead people.

[loyalrebel]

And? The dead do not harm anyone.

[highsteaks]

That's what you think. I once got killed by a giant skeleton lady.

[leftbehindagain]

This isn't a punishment, Satonaka. One of the Trumps behind that was Death. Bones factoring into a celebration stands to reason.

Trust me, if we'd screwed up, Liminal Space would be actively trying to kill us, not just vaguely morbid.

[highsteaks]

... oh jeeze, really? Well, you can tell Death he's a creep.

[leftbehindagain]

Maybe I will.

[He won't.]

[highsteaks]

Good.
