[Someone has seen one Changeling record too many for comfort. So many fake Changelings... And that's made her think.]

Does anyone know why this is happening? Shouldn't we have been back on the next jaunt like, last Liminal? ...Did the Arcana leave, or something?

[If she just had a vague idea of how to break out of Liminal Space, she'd have tried to go for it right now because it really looks like it. But she doesn't, and so she takes the thought to the network instead.]

wolvering

Hi everyone! This is Pod, if we haven't been introduced yet. I've been thinking about the Forstfolk from Yensid and what they could do. Magic brews like that are really useful, and I think I remember how to make them and what they do, but...

Well, my overlay found out the hard way that they don't work quite the same on humans, and if we're going to use them, we should know what they do first! Does anyone want to help me test what different ones do on different people? I can only turn into a couple other things besides human, so the more help the better. And it will go faster if I don't have to wait for the effects to wear off each time. If you want to learn how to make the potions too, we can work on that together.

Actually, I know it's not the most exciting thing, but it's always good to have backup, and I know my herblore very well by now! If anyone wants to learn about healing plants and what to do with them, I'm happy to teach. I don't think I can teach my magic, but the herbs will probably pass beneath notice in more places than magic would anyway.

[There's a long pause.]

One last thing... My overlay had some kind of magic power that let her convince other people to give in to what she wanted and I think I kept it too. Could somebody help me test that out? I want to be sure exactly what it does.

((OOC: a log if anybody would like to thread out experiments or get a teaching proof, etc))

[At a certain point in in this conversation Kitty just has to reach out and try for help because she's way too lost.]

Pearl is crying and I don't know how to make her stop.

Does anyone know how to make someone stop crying?

truerevelation

[There's a brief burst of what sounds like radio static on the mental airwaves, a couple of sensations and flashes akin to the telempathic signalling of a Jangwan dragon...

And then, voices. One familiar enough on the network, the other new, high pitched and musical with a faint sound like feedback to it which steadily clears up as the speaker talks.]

Okay. You hearing this? [asks Kanji, though sounding a spot distant.] Can you...

[The new voice chirps in:] Mm! I ... Um, am I... Is this working?

Yeah. I think so. ...Uh, it's an open line.

Oh! H-hi everyone? This is... This is Piyo? Uh, I'm a Pogemon. ... I don't know, this is scary, it sounds weird... But I think I can hear you?

hatefuldays

This is *Hyun-ae again! Sorry I wasn't really able to contribute anything to the Jaunt, but it sounds like things turned out pretty well.

So, I was thinking about how all of us were apparently taken from various worlds or alternate universes, and was wondering: Do we have any sort of compiled list of what worlds we've discovered? Liminal Space and Jaunts are both crazy, but there's a whole extra layer of this experience where we're basically all getting a chance to discover dozens of other worlds and universes through each other! We can't see them directly, but there's still got to be plenty of interesting stuff we can learn just by talking about where we're from and how those places differ or how they're the same.

I was going to follow that up with "so let's assemble a list of all those worlds and what we know about them", but the more I think about it, the harder it seems like it's going to be to even figure out where to start. Like, for example, I know we've got a lot of people from "Earth" or some variant of it, so how can we tell which ones are parallel Earths and which ones are the same planet? It gets even hairier when you factor in that there's different periods of time represented, so saying "this person and that person are from the same Earth/different Earths" is practically impossible most of the time.

So as a compromise, if any part of this sounds useful, interesting, or cool, tell us a bit about where you're from! It's not like there's too much for us to be doing while we're stuck in Liminal Space, so why not? I don't have a specific format in mind, but maybe some basics like...

* Homeworld name
* Other people you know are from the same world as you (to keep this organized)
* Local year when you left
* Whether or not you know what Disney is (this seems to be some kind of divide, at least for Earths)

I'll go first! I'm from the Mugunghwa, which is a generation ship sent from Earth to another planet where it was going to start a new colony. The trip was on the order of thousands of years long, so in between, the ship was basically its own isolated society. My situation's a little complicated timeline-wise, but it was 4989 AD when I was warped here, which might or might not be why I've never heard of Disney before. Magic and monsters don't exist (as far as I know), but it seems like our tech was pretty advanced compared to most people I've talked to - space travel tech has gotten pretty advanced by the 60th century, and human-comparable AI is a thing.

...If I'm going to talk about the ship for culture exchange purposes, I guess I should probably talk at least a little about what happened in the later years of the ship's society... So, I spent a very long time in cryostasis and accordingly don't have a firsthand account of what happened, but a few millenia after the ship's voyage began, there was a coup and a family managed to instate themselves as a new royal family. They blamed a bunch of things they did on rebels as an excuse to take more power for themselves, and pushed society back to Joseon Dynasty ideals - stability, strength of family lines, male superiority. A couple hundred years down the road, you end up in a world where scientific research is dead in the water and women aren't allowed to learn how to read.

...Eesh, sorry to end that on a dark note. But, well, that's how it was, and why I'm so glad to be here now. There's probably some kind of fancy moral you could come up with to summarize the whole incident, but I'm honestly not far enough away from it to look at it objectively and come up with one, so I guess I'll leave that to you.

[ Private to Malin ]

Status report! It took a while, but I managed to get the hang of making portals! A couple other things, too - I experimented a bit, and I can psychically change outfits and stuff. It's still so wild that this is just something I can do by thinking about it.

Thanks for all your training~

neverfeltthatway

This is Armin. I hope everyone's doing all right. I... have the list of Travelers who've gone out of ambit. I'm afraid I, I didn't manage to do a post like this after Harrogate, as I usually do. So it's a long list this time.

[He takes a deep breath, seeming just a little shaky.]

Aloy, Lena, Clementine, Callum, Shaun, Zak, Akira, Jason, Qrow, Elphaba, Geralt, Tommy, Major, Natasha, Steve, Jefferson, Amanda, Elizabeth, Pitch, Ace, the Doctor, and Madoka.

[He's quiet for a long moment before he continues.] If anyone has any questions, I'll do my best to answer them.

claudiometer

Just when I thought we maybe wouldn't need it. [That part's in a muttered tone, so Claudia probably didn't mean to broadcast it.]

Wrinkle in the plan, guys, Beatrice moved the amulet. She made a really big deal about storing it under guard in the top of her tower, so my guess is it's anywhere but the tower. We don't have much time to work on this. Thoughts?

My first one, frankly, is 'tase the bejeezus out of her and loot her while she's unconscious,' but there's no guarantee that would turn up clues.

runs

[Kitty will be lifestreaming the entirety of the forest folk's emergency assembly. Including the very private, secret second part.

That's it. There's no commentary or anything, just an hours long stream (that is, in fact, locked away from baby Rose).]

claudiometer

So I'm thinking it might be time to consider stealing the amulet and giving the pieces to people who'll actually use it. It's not gonna do anyone a damn bit of good sitting in this museum, that's for sure.

The real trick is going to be, well, stealing it, considering it managed to animate the suits of armor in here. That might outstrip whatever mundane security's on the place - I can handle people and technology, but this might even be a step beyond Artifact snagging. We should get the Forest Folk bit to those guys ASAP, but we at least have investigators who can relay it.

We also, uh. Need to be able to tell the pieces apart.

So. Who's in, what can you bring to the table, and what say we shoot for next week? Best chance of planning something that doesn't go totally pear-shaped.

runs

What do we know about Beatrice's overlay?

[She's observed a few things herself, but it is only prudent to do what legwork you can and gather what information is out there before starting any operation.]

leftbehindagain

I found out a few useful things about that amulet business.

There are three pieces total. It's meant to be one for each race, and they're supposed to be brought together during an annual ceremony - with two of them missing long enough to apparently be found in that excavation site, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that hasn't happened in quite some time. The Stonefolk don't seem to have ever lost theirs.

The timing for the ceremony itself is a few weeks out. Gil-san's overlay thinks we have until the end of the month to try and wrangle it into happening, and that'll require not only getting the pieces to the right people but finding a human who'd be willing to bring it to the ceremony.

I'm not sure what the ceremony entails beyond that, but this gives us something to work with, at least.

ninjayeehaw

[There's a sense of mild panic flashing onto the network.]

Anyone else with giant lizard wings-- be careful out in the sun. 'less y'all wanna risk gettin' turned back into a statue.

[And then it cools off a little, sounding calmer as he continues.]

If anyone needs a hand with bein' a Stonefolk, I got a whole heap 'f info on 'em dumped in my head, an' I don't doubt other people do too, so make sure t'ask if y'all ain't sure on somethin'.

But I s'pose the better question is, who have we got kickin' 'round the Investigatin' side a' things? This is Kinji, fer all the new folks, I'm up on Thunder Mountain.

comebewe

[After this encounter, Matthew's mental voice sounds annoyed, somewhat disgruntled, and utterly, utterly confused.]

Um.

Gil is unconscious? And we don't know why.

smokeandcarbs

[The voice in the psychic network is even and self-effacing. It seems that all babies are safe this time. In fact, it wouldn't be surprising if they were put back to sleep.]

Today I was told that some of you could pull objects out of thin air, and that I could eventually learn those same skills.

Given that my learning will take longer than smoking the rest of my pack, would anyone mind creating cigarettes for me? If necessary, I can work for them. I'm good at changing light bulbs, writing reports and tasting cake.

dino_zarf

[The psychic feed opens with what is a familiar sight to anyone who's been around for long: Rose playing. Today it's with her Pogemon toys that her doting godparents gave her for her birthday.]

For those of you who are new, this is Rose and she's just the cutest little thing. Do you want to say hi?

Hi! I'm the baby!

And as you can hear, Rosie is on the network. She's just about eighteenish months old, which means she still takes naps.

[He'd like to see that last, okay?]

And what that means is that when people start screaming on the network while she's napping she wakes up. I can only block the network out for her about once a week, so everyone's a lot happier if you take a second to filter any screaming you're meaning to do in everyone's head away from her.

goestoextremes

[OOC: backdated to a few days after the beginning of Lotus Liminal while Jean is still sleeping but ~~just before~~ his dreamspace happens.]

So, anyone know why someone just keeps on sleeping like he might just --- sleep through the whole Liminal time if this continues? Or any ideas how to wake him up? Besides waiting, I'm doing plenty of waiting already and sure, it's most likely waiting for something to happen but... Oh, I guess also ideas of what to do while I'm waiting.

[Not that she's keeping an eye on him 24/7, no she can come up with things to do on her own! ...But guess who is bored of waiting even when she's not that impatient these days?? So, what's this? Pretend like she doesn't already know that it's about waiting and have fun with the entertaining ideas? Something like that, maybe.]

I think my envy of Jean's sleeping skills is gone by now and no, he hasn't even been anywhere near the marshmallows and he's nowhere near them now either.

runs

[Not long after the return to Liminal, in a timeframe better measured in minutes than anything else, Kitty starts broadcasting. It's quiet at first but quickly gets louder as she's clearly working herself into a fit, dropping any ability to filter from the network as she goes.]

(To those who'd actionspam at her instead of responding on the network, she's just standing rooted to the spot where she arrived, staring at a moose-sized dragon opposite of her, who seems to be rather unsure of how to help her, considering that she dodges every time the dragon tries to get closer, without ever moving away further. Her whole body is tense, her fingers curled, and those who can see through masks will notice that her whole body language resembles that of a thoroughly spooked cat.)]

forcechanic

[Time to figure out if she's really gotten this psychic bridge thing figured out]

Is this over with the dragons? This is Jaina.

I want to warn you guys that things are coming to a head over on this side. We think we've figured out the source of the problem: Someone called Nyarlathotep. We have a plan, but it's incredibly dangerous. I wanted to warn you all to be prepared for people from our side to be a real mess when we get back to Liminal.

Just... be ready.

I can't patch anyone through, but if you need a message passed on I'll do that once this connection runs out.

runs

Does anyone know if it is possible to convincingly lie through telempathic bonds?

And if, is there anything to look out for when doing it, like blunders or things that will strengthen the illusion of truth?

rustyhonesty

Hey, it's Jean. Now that things are starting to calm down a bit, I think a small check in is due?

How many of us have bonded with dragons? It's likely getting closer to when we're gonna return to Liminal so just in case, you should be preparing to say goodbye. It's not guaranteed that the dragons will follow us, after all. Not everyone's Pogemon did.

Even if they do return with us, I wonder if they'll disappear from here.
