Merry Witchmas

Well, well, well...ah, it seems I'm missing my usual camerawoman, but I have a couple of important announcements.

As far as I can tell, I've been here for almost exactly a year, assuming all Jaunts are "really" about six weeks and my trip to the Expo in Japan was a fluke of perception. I would like to thank you all, first of all, for being the most understanding and entertaining bunch of weirdos I've met in many years, and wish you a happy...either Halloween, or a spooky enough Liminal to be a close approximation.

The second announcement, and I'll thank anyone who cares to share this with the batch of newbies that are due to arrive in a day or three if the pattern keeps up, is that I've spent a great deal of time padding out my Liminal Room, if you'd like to drop by. I think I've turned it into a nice home away from home, and while I wouldn't think to ever detract from Maestro Leonardo's Workshop as a gathering place for Travelers, but if anyone needs extra space, I do have guest bedrooms, and I can 95% guarantee the place isn't haunted!

Except today, of course. I mean, it's Halloween. Or so.

And finally...if the calculations of myself and others are correct, Death and Justice just took the last turn in the game the Trumps are playing with us. We do not know what is next, except that change is coming. My suggestion to you, fellow travelers, is that we prepare ourselves for the unexpected.

You can make adjustments to the future if you're smart, as long as it's still your future and not your present. Or past. Shit can get complicated. That's why I don't do that shit no more.

There is one trick you can use to alter something in the past relative to you, of course. Leaving an event unobserved and undefined, you're free to alter it however you wish...as long as you're creating the context of the event as well as the event itself. Once an outside observer puts his eyes on it, it's all over for mutability, of course.

Something tells me Paradox Space might take exception with even that subtle of an idea, though.

Well, yeah. You just gotta keep your loops stable. You can go adjusting shit and setting things up for yourself later on, you just gotta make sure that if you run into something you did that you didn't do yet you gotta make sure you go and do it before the loop falls apart and everything goes to shit. Gotta thread the needle on that shit with unerring accuracy or you're liable to turn around and trip over your own goddamn corpse.
