Alright, everyone. Something I've noticed a lack of in the archives of this network is Investigator organization when the Jaunt reaches a climax. I'll admit I'm not a team player by nature, but in the interest of this not turning into an utter clusterfuck, I thought we could try actually planning some things. We've got a good amount of data on what the Solomon Ring does, what Manticore is up to, and as far as I'm aware a general consensus that we don't want the latter controlling the former with an iron paw. Not to mention, we have two Trumps sitting in playing the roles of King Hound-of-the-Baskervilles-was-garbage and Queen How-is-The-Redheaded-League-even-a-mystery.

Now, here's my thought - we can either break the Solomon Ring, attempt to seal it, or attempt to wedge it open, all of which can be done through alteration to its physical makeup in very specific ways. It is a magic circle, related to those found in the Ars Goetia, and therefore relies on precise usage of materials and geometry to function as intended.

Ideally, we do this stealthily, very shortly before it is publicly opened, so that Manticore has no time to react or stop us. However, consider the floor open to alternate strategies or even objectives. I consider myself a technical consultant on this, at best.

[Shortly after Claudia's royal audience and discussion with Minako, Claudia takes to the network. Again. She still feels like she's spamming, but this is kinda important.]

So, about that royal family. Plot twist, they appear to be Perry and Mina.

Double plot twist. They're not.

I only talked to the queen, but I remember Mei's speech patterns from Misericordia - she spoke in threes then and she's doing the same thing now. I'd bet anything the king is likewise Emperor Emperor. No idea if another of our hosts might be poking around or not, but anyone who's talked to one of the two of 'em might want to check for mystery tattoos.

Minako's still hooked up to the Hotel Redwood Liminal. I might end up passing on more updates for her, or she might get things sorted out herself and be able to report back - don't know yet.

Hello, this is Naoto Shirogane. I... seem to have been evicted from my overlay, one Mako Adams.

Do not attempt to tangle with him. While his actual powers are much less than people have been led to believe, he is crafty, and an excellent pistol shot. I will be taking him out myself after removing a few things from his apartment.

Thorne-san, Malik-san, Tim-san, Zed-san, my most sincere apologies.

They know we are here, but they are mostly unaware of who we are or what we do.

Once I have taken a few moments, I will be back and see what I can do.

[Private to Kanji]

Kanji? If you are yourself, as I believe you are, could you come to Liminal Space? I... could use some company.

Greetings, all. I find myself terribly short of funds of late, as I'm sure others are. Defrauding honest shopkeepers out of their hard-earned profits isn't something I wish to keep doing, but I've hit upon an idea that may work to keep several of us in the necessary funds for our various endeavors and be a pleasant diversion as well.

A temporary outdoor theater. Officially, most of the profits would go to a charity--to make the watchers all the more generous--but as we can create stage and sets and costumes with little to no cost to ourselves, we can benefit quite handily. I cannot, however, undertake this idea entirely on my own.

Is there anyone who wishes to try their hand at being an actor, stagehand, or costumer along with me? My initial idea was to put on Shakespeare's works, as I am most familiar with them in original style, but I will entertain suggestions for other playwrights as well. Do contact me if you are interested.

[There's a bit of a pause and then his mental voice shows up again.]

Given the circumstances, my outing is all but inevitable, and I tire of juggling three roles in three different scripts at once. If I am brought to trial for breaking the laws, it cannot be said that I didn't make the attempt to be discreet.

I'll be blunt. My name is Tybalt, although I've gone by Rand with a few of you under human disguise, and I am Cait Sidhe. For those without the requisite knowledge of human folklore to place the name, that means I am Fae and also a cat. If you see a brown and black tabby with striking green eyes wandering about the streets of Newport, that cat has a good chance of being me.

... I hate to interrupt, but I was wondering something.

Is there any precedent for a companion - that is to say, a spirit animal, a pet, or similar - infiltrating when the person they are bound to is not?

Soooooo not to spam the network, but a slight complication's come up.

Bumped into Minako, and it turns out it's a good thing I did. She... managed to punch through to a second Liminal Space, somehow.

The one where they keep the familiar faces, from the looks of it. I'm not good enough with fancy network shit to show it off and she's, uh, cut herself off from the network and Pudding Liminal somehow. But she definitely found Perry and Mina in what looks like some kind of storage pods. She's planning to find out more while she can. For now, Sift said it's a temporary confinement with a specific if undefined purpose, and Control Panel showed outgoing data transmission from Perry and Mina.

So that's a thing. And if anyone knows how to get her back onto our network before we leave, we could really use a hand with that - the only solution I can think of isn't necessarily the best one.

[ Steph is trying very hard to keep her mental voice calm and level, and mostly succeeding. She's hanging onto it by her fingernails, but she'll take what she can get. ]

Is there anyone investigating who's good at telepathic stuff? Or at least better than me? Or are they all infiltrating?

I need help with something, and it can't really wait until the end of the jaunt.

[ Okay, maybe it can. She can't. ]



...also, when's the last time anyone saw Tim as an infiltrator? He was a Manticore Knight. I want to know what happened to him.

Okay, I think I've got the hang of this. Can you hear me?

Not that it's really hearing, it seems like it's an internal voice. Mental.

We're Travelers, we're opposing some sort of organization called the Manticore Knights, and we have access to the world they're in and a place called a liminal - is that right?

I don't see anyone else here, so I must be in liminal right now...

Is there an orientation process in place? What's an infiltrator, in this context?

Ugh. Alright. I knew some folks around here know about Travellers, there was ... that crap that Thorne mentioned.
But.. Yeah. We might have trouble. The ... does anyone know who the hell the Exorcist Corps are? They know about us, and I dunno if they sound like the sorta guys you want round for tea.

Other than that... I think I heard that the royals are here already. Ain't seen any actual sign of 'em but I guess they're keepin' a low profile. And - huh, while we're at it... does anyone know who Joseph Verruy is? I keep hearing the name on the radio. Sounds like there's some kinda trouble there.

...so, uh. Think we might need to get shit straight. Anyone else got anythin' interesting?

So uh. Hi. [How do you start a post here? Weird, especially without any telepathic skills, that many others seem to have. ]

I'm Korra... I've been on this jaunt since the beginning, but I was busy during the check-in post... Anyway, this is my second jaunt, Rome was the first and I arrived during the cruiser liminal from a world, where we also have our own version of Spirit World and elementalism and empowered alike skills, that we call bending back there. No idea if it's normal for a world to remind someone so much of their home, but this one sure does in some ways...

[ Spirit World, spirits, mercury, superpowers. ...the list could go on and on. At least she doesn't need to hide her skills here like had to back in Rome. ]

But that's enough about me for the moment. I'm actually here for something that's actually important... [ So don't push your imaginary MUTE buttons yet, even if that first part's just her rambling! ]

If you run into Jean -- light-brown eyes, brown hair with darker hue on the back and sides, average height of 175cm or 5'9" whichever makes more sense to you, long face, wears black clothes with lots of pockets and stuff this jaunt... [ Seriously, if any of you can share a picture somehow, please do! ]

His infiltrator name is John King, he is a Manticore Squire as far as I know from our first day here... His empowered ability is manipulating mercury / quicksilver. Now, I'm talking from experience, when I say this; that stuff can be seriously really horrible for health.

So...! If you happen to fight against him while they are chasing people there, or whatever, but if he gets that liquid metal anywhere on your skin or body? You should tell me and I'll make sure you stay healthy! Unless you can heal yourself or know other healers, of course, but for those of you, who don't... I can check if there's any of it in your body and metalbend it out of you. It doesn't hurt, it requires no touching and I swear it's a lot better than chances of walking around with even a little pieces of that metal in your body.

Ohh, and my waterbending has healing abilities if anyone needs those for any injuries, that you might get here or wherever we go while I'm myself.

So. Who needs paperwork?

I wanted to make sure mine would pass the sniff test before offering it to anyone else, but it just did - and this is not my first papers-falsifying rodeo. I can do passports and tourism or work visas, but you're on your own for the casualty insurance, if you've been playing a role where picking that up is a thing.

Got a stable place for the week - I can meet people in Liminal from there, but between the amped-up security and the fact that they know we're a thing in general terms, be really super careful about where you decide to put your portals.

As the people's poet Ice Cube once said, more than a quarter century ago, "Fuck the police."

Or, I guess, fuck the secret police. Same principle.

Um. Hi. So. Uh. I'm dead again. My overlay was snooping around the site for the Solomon Ring, she got caught by a Manticore Squire, he took her off for questioning and called in a Knight to help him... and let's just say the interrogation went poorly. I'm pretty sure that's what they're going to say in their report about my death. If they don't just go and erase the tapes to cover it up. Which they might. They're a secret police after all.

Anyway, right before the Knight freaked out and I died, the Knight put his hand on my head and said, and I quote, "Oh god, they're back."

Which, um, is kinda worrying.

Also, uh. I should probably let people know that my overlay's boss, Dr. L, is trying to mess with the Solomon Ring for his own purposes. And, uh, he's hella psychic, if only short-ranged, so he knows there's something up with Investigators, if not exactly what. But he's not hostile to us. A little wary, but not hostile.

Anyway, can people keep an eye out the next couple days to see if my death is at all announced or if there's a cover-up? Hajime, you should be able to tell if anyone from the government goes to Dr. L. He's, like, listed as my overlay's employer on her work visa. Because if I'm not officially dead, I'm going to take advantage of the other Thorne's bank account while I still can and maybe see if I can pretend to be her in other ways until the Jaunt ends.
