I've been getting some real bad vibes off of this whole Liminal Space for a while now. Can't stand the feeling of being watched anymore, not after... well, you know.

[Moebius. She means Moebius.]

And 'cos of that, I've started to get some real big doubts that this one's gonna be a nice, fun, easy one. So, just in case I'm not investigating on this next jaunt, consider this me asking real nicely for someone to make sure I am. I don't care what my infiltration's like, I want that undone.

Sooooooo, I was wondering: is there any way to write or draw on liminal space and make it stick?

[Someone's grumpy that all the dicks she drew on people's signs vanished.]

capital_asset

I don't know why I don't expect these by now... For those who are newer to this, there was an earlier Jaunt that left a number of us with a tendency towards prophetic dreams and/or nightmares. Most often, they concern the Jaunt we're either on or about to be sent on in some way, although not always.

This particular dream featured a demonic frog squatting on a beach. It opened its mouth to let the ocean rush in, which caused the frog to grow progressively larger until all anyone could see was the swollen, stretched out frog. The frog eventually exploded, which in turn sent the ocean waters exploding everywhere, at which point the dream ended.

It's... very mythical, if nothing else.

There's something I've been thinking about since the Walkabout. The gear Brockengard's Hunters used to bring down their prey is almost exactly the same as the gear used to fight Titans in the world I'm from. I know that's probably a coincidence, but I still ended up comparing the two worlds. Except in Brockengard, humans have already been wiped out. And the "extinct animals" were definitely humans. I was there when the skeletons were found and saw them myself.

But even though there are no more humans in that world, there are still people there. A lot of small animals started becoming intelligent around the same time the last humans died. I keep wondering... Did the animals start becoming intelligent because the humans were gone? And if they did, is that something that could happen in other worlds too? If all the people of a world die out, but there's still life there, is it normal for a new kind of people to appear to take their place?

[Despite the melancholy subject, Eren's mental voice sounds almost hopeful.]

So, uh. Having poked my head out the door just now...

Doveresque cliff faces shouldn't mean we're heading back to Newport, right? Please tell me we're not heading back to Newport. I don't think any of us want to try to clean up that mess again.

[Also that would be the worst birthday present ever.]

breakaleginhalf

Okay, so, what even happened on that one?

Besides, like. Everyone getting mad at Fuckface McGee and proving Jean-Paul Sartre right on the whole "hell is other people" thing. Or one of the Princes knowing about Travelling and Arcana now.

[Gil you can't just slide that in there like literally anyone except you and Raidou knows that--]

Oh, actually - don't go busting in on Arcana spaces without knocking first right now, 'cos apparently you're at a very real risk of being turned into flash-frozen helium, according to Magician.

[While this is happening...]

[Bob's scratchy voice comes on the network, sounding slightly distressed.]

Hey, you know that angel that's been hitting people with that stupid aggravating whip?

Three guesses who picked a fight with him, and the first two don't count.

[There's a brief aerial shot of Casper, suspended in air with raven wings out. Bartholomew has reared back his whip but now there's tons of snowballs and water all over him.]

The fuck am I supposed to do with this?

notadisappointment

[This is the first time Yosuke's done this, but since he has quite a few skills he can bring up to seven people with him... which is most likely more than they have investigators on Walkabout side.]

Here on Walkabout radio, this is Yosuke, do I reach the jaunt side? If so, hi. We're currently talking animals and I'm a shrew. There's a whole community of talking animals in clothing over here and I think the familiar face guys who were royalty in Newport are now Badger lords.

We don't have too many over here, so the investigators on this side should be able to talk to you back. How are things over there?

awondrousplace

Alright, everyone! I know Joscelyn is warning people of our location, but we do rather need to know who we have, not just where we are.

So, in the spirit of... oh, what's the phrase, getting our waterfowl in a queue?

Please let us all know who's here, and if you're sharing a mind with an overlay! Also, if anyone needs help with a cover story of sorts, I am always available for creative writing.

[Helena, plz.]

In case there are those who don't know me, I am Helena Wells, and my story is that I was cursed to eternal life for being just a bit too clever with researching time travel. It's... close enough to the truth that it will do in a pinch.

otomechapilot

I'll do the cooking show after the Jaunt, I didn't have time to prepare it, but...

What's this I hear about Tower falling?

bite_the_hand

Before anyone starts yelling about the Titan that's about to be out here by the ice rink, you don't have to be scared of it. That's me. I'm a Titan Shifter, which means I have the power to turn into a Titan and then turn back into a human again. I'm still in control of myself and I'm not going to attack anyone. I'm just helping with the decorations for the party.

[It's all said in a mildly annoyed mental 'voice' that suggests he's making this warning because he's managed to scare more than a few people in the past. And considering this announcement is immediately followed by the sound of an explosion and the appearance of a 15 meter tall monster man by the ice rink, it's likely not hard to see why.]

...Oh, and if any of you get near my feet, make sure I know you're there. I don't want to end up accidentally hurting anybody because I didn't see them when I moved.

Hello, ja, I have a question.

I've been thinking about this whole murdering the Arcana business.

A few months ago, I got told we didn't know how to do it.

Now it looks like somebody had a breakthrough.

I'm not talking about turning anybody in or anything like that. I don't know if I'd want to shake your hand or kick you into a latrine anyway. Maybe both?

Ah, so my question is, anyway - if you were going to try and kill an Arcana, how would you do it?

What exactly does everybody think it would take; what would the plan be like, that sort of thing.

If you want to investigate the murder, maybe this will help you figure out how they pulled it off. Same if you want to do it again sometime instead. For everybody else, just some harmless theorizing.

grimjeaper

Well. That sure happened.

Uh.

If anyone goes into my room and finds me, like. Passed out and kind of beaten up? Don't worry about it. I just got-- I done got kicked out of my body. And.

Locked in a, uh. [Chamberpot.] Locked up.

grimjeaper

[Within an hour of the sounds of murder subsiding, there's a careful voice on the network.]

Sooooo, uh. Quick-- quick little update on the whole thing we're dealing with right now?

Because I said there was, like- a necromantic lich thing, before? Some updates there. Wish it was good news, but... yeah. Rarely ever is with this type of thing.

So, first off. The dead dude upstairs? Previous host. I got a good look at the scene, had a poke around, and there're signs of a pretty bad struggle before our dude just out and died. Someone was beating it up pretty bad, probably with some kind of holy magic just judging by the burn marks alone. They would've won, probably, except then I think the other lich exploded and fuckin' just-- ran like the wind.

S-- so, uh. Bad news - there's a life energy-eating spirit on the loose. But, uh, goooood news? [Debatably] Seems like it needs a host, so. It can't go far. Especially with that barrier up.

Uh, second thing. I managed to get a couple 'f answers out of the corpse itself. Poor schmuck just - really did not know what hit him; ol' Lichy'd been possessing him for a few weeks, minimum, before he got here and got murdered to the Nine Hells and back. But, I did get two leads out of him, maybe. The guy's employer, whoever that is, and some Hunter he said was following him for pretty much the entire time - and, honestly, knowing ghost bounty hunters, was probably the murderer.

That's, uh. That's all I got.

I'm looking to expand on the resources we have available - well, more establish one and expand on the other.

The new one first: Allura-san brought up how often we've been to space, and I had the beginnings of a list trying to narrow down possible connections between jaunt worlds. I know some of the conntections are obvious - space and Questing Country, Bando and the mermaids - but if anyone's thought much about which Earths might be the same or different, that would help some too.

As for the older resource, it occurs to me that with Fortune back in play, my attempt at information on the Arcana needs updating. Does anyone have any insight into what she's up to? There's a few other holes I never managed to fill in, mostly whether Hierophant had an alias and what a few of them have in mind to do if they win, but Fortune is the biggest question mark at the moment.

Once I've got things updated I'll leave copies in the library, and on the intranet if I can get a hold of a computer for a while. The Arcana list is already on the network, and the other one will be joining it.

[A dare I call it jaunty tune spills into the heads of the newcomers, along with a little psychic giggle, and a bubbly soprano voice begins to send;]

Heeeey what's up everyone, sorry this one's a bit late, but at least we have a new recipe and a special guest star to welcome you to Liminal Space! I'm Sara Smith, and this is Snackin' With Sara, your introduction to basic liminal anchoring techniques and the joys of cooking as a Traveller!

[Another voice - here italicized - tenor despite his best efforts to go baritone, chuckles and adds:] And I'm Keenan Caine, from her world, here to help cook and clean and to contribute the recipe. Sorry to jump the line, but I might not get another chance. Poutine is on deck next time, though, and I have it on good authority that speaking of things Canadian, Sara's gonna be smokin'.

Really? Really Kaycee. (Sara giggles, and Keenan chuckles once.) Anyway I'm about to demonstrate a dumb psychic trick that we call the sensory livestream. It can mess with your head cause it's so vivid, so fortunately you can learn to make it strictly opt in... like so.

[And, indeed, the actual content of the livestream now requires effort of will to opt-into.]

( It's a bit like clicking through cut-text, in your mind. )

While most here know these things, there are a number of new faces amongst us and some things bear repeating.

Traveling often involves meeting people from both different worlds than our own and different time periods as well. A friend may not recognize you and an enemy may not be what they become.

This leads us to the only agreed upon rule of the Travellers:

Do not kill one another.

[A pause]

I would also like to request that anyone with ideas of doing things in the two worlds through the portals first consult with someone who was already there. Situations were delicate in some places and altering what occurred may negatively impact the positive outcomes we achieved.

Nonlinear time is complicated and ridiculous.

Food and living quarters are available in various locations for those who require it.
