Leaving on a...
Oct. 23rd, 2015 02:24 am[Cassandra's mental voice is hesitant, even diffident. She's still not very comfortable with the network in general, and with tempers running so high lately, she doesn't want to inadvertently set off another argument. But while this may not be as important as the bombs, it's something the others may need to know.]
I'm... sorry to interrupt, but - the Seventh Sky is preparing to leave.

Oct. 19th, 2015 10:18 pmWell, things are certainly going to hell in a handbasket, aren't they?
[Helena's mental voice is more than a bit frustrated.]
Does anyone have any idea where we could be of help? Clearly this firebug needs to stop before they burn the entire place down. I am getting very worried about the gas contents of these airships with all of the fire around. It does not bode well. If anyone finds one of these objects before it explodes, please let me know. I might be able to help disarm it.
Also, what about that other gentleman? Where is he, and what is going on with him?

Oct. 13th, 2015 09:34 amI— Damn. I need to apologize to you all. I screwed up. Everybody probably knows by now, but I was keeping track of things in a notebook and it got snatched. I don’t know who got it the first time, but they didn’t have it for more than two or three minutes, and I imagine most of it was spent drawing all over it. Wouldn’t you know, when I was going to destroy it, I ran into the princess and she got it away from me. I couldn’t catch her, and I burned it as soon as I did get it back. So… Yeah.
I don’t know how much she or the other thief got out of it, because it was in shorthand, dammit, but names are hard to disguise so they know some of those.
So. I don’t know what else to say. I’m sorry.

Hi? Shit, I don't think I've ever been the one to start a mass psychic conversation. I'm more used to tuning out any voices in my head.
( Anyway! This is Thorne, who some of you guys probably have met on the jaunt as Chouko, Princess Noriko-hime's attendant, and I'm dead! )
[PRIVATELY]
Joscelin? Can you make it back to Liminal Space? I think I need your help with something.

Oct. 7th, 2015 08:03 pmI'd better not be the only one gettin' slammed with memories in time with the lightning. Anybody wanna maybe share what they're gettin'? I think we might be able to piece more of this together if it ain't just me tryin' to make sense of this shit.
[And there's a pause before he gives his own, for him to overcome the force of his secrecy habit. He's still learning this openness thing, guys.]
I know for sure I was fightin' Remy, on that airship. The Seventh Sky. Its name used to be the Zeitgeist, but nobody wants to talk about the fucking thing. Got somethin' earlier about that same ship dumpin' bodies off, maybe that's why.

backdated all the way to week 2
Oct. 7th, 2015 10:25 am[ OOC: UMMM. Remember when we lost two letters from ArMin?? Yeaaaaah, I was supposed to post this way back then, but RL happened ( and it's still happening, actually as I'm in the middle of moving and other stuff... ) ...but here i am backdating this post to happen soon after that happened... And I'm very, very sorry this is so late!! x_x; ]
So, tell me.
What the hell happened to Armin? ...No one told me you can become an infiltrator in the middle of this!
[Fair warning? Mikasa doesn't take sudden bad(??) things happening to her family well at all and Armin is the only family, who she has left here, so... Good luck or something? Someone somewhere might need it!]

backdated to early week 3
Oct. 4th, 2015 03:32 pmThere's at least one Trump around this jaunt. The legless proxy - if you've seen it, you probably know the one. If there are any others lurking around, I haven't run into them.
Take that as you will, everyone.

He calls me up, calls me on the phone
Oct. 4th, 2015 06:22 amOne of the local urchins is telling me he has information on the Zeitgeist. High likelihood that it's a trap, but I might as well try to spring it and see what I can learn. And perhaps I'll get lucky and it won't be. I'll keep everyone appraised.

Sep. 23rd, 2015 11:54 pm['For those of us who are more interested in solving the problem than stealing pants,' Naoki doesn't lead off with. Rehashing that fight's going to get nowhere other than giving people headaches again.]
I found Minako-san, though... really, anyone who's been overnighting in Liminal probably figured out she's infiltrating already, between Suzaku and Mothman. She's leading the hunt for this Captain Phoenix person, who's apparently developed a bit of a piracy problem and sent the last person out to catch her back with horrific burns.
I also found Yua. She's keeping such a low profile she's taking Naoto's 'dressed like a guy' slot - I barely recognised her voice, and I'm not sure I'd be so lucky a second time. Assuming she keeps to the same getup, which I doubt. I'm not sure if that makes her Captain Phoenix or not, but I can't rule it out.
Whether it's Yua or not, I think it's safe to say Captain Phoenix was behind that little firebird just now. I don't know what the captain's motives are or which one we're meant to help, but that seems to be part of what's going on. Anyone heard more about this Blitzkopf guy?
And are those of you who remember things from here doing all right? [Hopefully no one else has passed out. If there's any insight to be had from the old guard, they'll probably all need it sooner or later.]

Sep. 21st, 2015 11:04 am...okay, but the jails here suck. Hanging around up here is boring...
[There's a dramatic sigh.]
Anyone got any bail money before I bust myself out of here?
[Because he can, and he will. So he's thinking, anyway.]
And keep an eye out for Mr. Sparkles. I let him loose so he could maybe come pick me up later, but I bet he's just pretending to be me again.

Ugh, I hate using this head talking magic!
Hey, so, acording to that guy in all of our heads-there's a bunch of people over in the Caliphate that think they can tell people what to do. Think they can tell people what to wear, and stop girls from kissing girls, and I think that's fucked up.
So I'm going to go steal their pants. As many as I can. Who else is in?

I have some information about the situation as well as advice regarding the Caliphate.
As far as information goes, they do not have any allies among the other kingdoms despite having rather vast holdings. Which is... less surprising than most of you will likely find that. They still control Carthage and quite interestingly Al-Andalus, which does explain a great deal of how they have kept ahead of-- ah, right. That probably means nothing to any of you.
What does matter is that they and the Prussia-Zaporizhian Empire are after two individuals that are apparently here in Nova Venezia, an inventor who left the Empire and a Pirate who... I am not quite sure what they did but they apparently enjoy blowing things up. Quite sizeable bounties have been put out for them, which I would suggest most of you take advantage of for cover stories if you need one.
Beyond that, we are above Venice which is essentially held by the Christian Church which... makes this a rather delicate situation with the Caliphate as they are as a general rule it seems followers of a branch of Islam.
Which brings this to a great deal of warning and advice about how to behave properly and not find yourselves on the receiving end of harsh punishment. These laws are... likely to be different than you know as they were written hundreds of years even before my time and are unable to be changed. I do not know if they apply here or not, but they will likely apply on Caliphate vessels and be observed in areas they reside in.
I will keep these general, though feel free to ask for further explanation if you wish it.
Do not swear, or otherwise blaspheme. I would also advise against public displays of affection, including hand holding. Do not stare at a woman, and do not be offended if someone does not directly look at you. There are strict laws concerning modesty and most of you tend to break them.
My biggest point of advice is this: whatever you do, do not claim to be from anywhere within the Caliphate. Being ignorant can rather literally save your skin in this.
If you need someone to help you in this, call on me. I will answer as best I can or come to where you are to help however possible.

Really, Adachi doesn't even realize he's doing it at first, but there's just a steady stream of utter panic, constant mutterings of no no no no no no no over and over again, before he finally realizes what he's doing.]
G-guys... guys, I've got a serious problem here. Like threatening my life issue.
[There's a pause, before there's some kind of mental screech from him. It sounds something like a car hitting the breaks mixed together with a dog whimper.]
Naoto's hitting on me, and it's kinda hot.
[...yes, that is the entire reason for his utter distress.]

Byerly Vorrutyer here. We're on Earth, pre-spaceflight, although someone who isn't me will need to get a better read on the actual date and location. Linguistically, it's a hodgepodge. I can hear archaic Russian, a whole host of Asiatic and Romance languages, and something else I can't quite place.
If you can "hear" this, check in. We need to know who we've got to work with.
