I ask of you, fellow Travelers: can one of our number deinfiltrate me into a body that can fight? Guenhwyvar is herself. We both wish to join the coming battle against the nation-eaters, for we have a great amount of experience in battle, especially against the strange, powerful, and arcane.
[Jaunt] A Slight Feathery Diversion
Jul. 10th, 2018 01:13 pmI understand the gravity of the situation these colonists are in... but what sort of animals are everyone’s companions?
Guenhwyvar is a giant black chicken.
[This is important to share, considering she’s normally a 600 pound black panther.]

I'm in need of someone who wants to learn to become a ninja.
[This will surely end well.]

... I suspect these questions may be on the minds of others, and it is on mine because it obvious differs much from the one of my childhood:
What is it like to attend a school? What should we know about it? What is expected of us? Are our studies canceled right now?

I need to know the identity of a possible Infiltrator. Her name was Gorgonba, but others called her Gran. She was a Gorgon, but had adopted... the elf boy that I was.
[There's a feeling not unlike holding one's breathe, of hope and trepidation. He obviously already has an idea of whom it may have been. There is only one other person he knew whose name had ended in a 'ba'....]

No! NO!
I’m not…
This isn’t real, th-this isn’t real!
I CAN’T BREATHE!!
I-I don’t even think I have lungs!
This isn’t… w-what’s going on…?
-=someone just woke up as a robot and is not having a good time=-

[Drizzt's flat annoyance filters through slightly despite his attempts to contain it.]
You must be joking.
[He lets out the equivalent of a sigh.]
How does one return to their true form after they have "received" one from the previous Jaunt?

[An undercurrent of annoyance, some vague amusement, and already being resigned to his fate.]
... What exactly should one do when a small boy and his father take one into their home? Especially if they believe the person is an... orphaned kitten in needing of said home, and especially if it would cause anguish and worry if they were to leave unannounced.
[Then, dripping with an amused sort of sarcasm.]
Hypothetically speaking, of course.
[That's it. That's the entire thing. Guess what happened.
Also, Drizzt has been incredibly quiet over the network since the start of the Jaunt, and this is what he says when he breaks his silence.]

ENOUGH!
We are handling the situation! Stop your shouting at the poor man! It was an honest mistake, and I am safe. It is common for goodly folk to consider me an enemy when taken by surprise of my appearance, and I will not fault those here for doing the same.
Leave him be.

[Drizzt's mind suddenly and without warning rolls forth, his anger slamming into the network, his thoughts barely coherent as the Hunter fights for control.]
My parents are gone. I must bring them back. One of you must know. Tell me now!
[Never before in Synodiporia has Drizzt Do'Urden been so fully enraged, filled with anger that is so much easier to feel than the agonizing pain of losing his father after they had truly become father and son. In his anger, he unhelpfully does not state where he is. Only some that know him well might figure it out.]
[OOC: Psychic post OTA. Feel free to yell at him for being a dick, too.]

[Pre-Harrogate Liminal] Come enjoy nature!
Aug. 3rd, 2017 10:02 pmI know that there are many who are disturbed by what we assume is the next Jaunt. There is little I can do to alleviate those fears. However, I can offer a small diversion.
My room in Liminal Space, accessible through my father's training hall, is more a forest and campsite than a room. I have made it to be night in its ceiling, and have set out some food and drink, including s'mores, so that you may have something happier to occupy your mind for a short while.
All are welcome-- [he chuckles lightly.] --and all I ask is for it to remain in one piece
[Translation to all that noise; PARTY AT DRIZZT'S PLACE.]

[Someone was a nerd and has been thinking about this an awful lot before asking his questions. Which might be noticeable.]
My greetings, fellow Travelers. I have two questions to ask of you.
Firstly—what transpired during the last Jaunt? My Overlay was not... privy to most of the details.
Secondly—and perhaps more personally—are there others Marked by Astræa—by Justice? I am curious.

[Drizzt sounds older than he currently looks in person, owing to the wonky drow-to-human teenager translation of his body.
He does, however, sound eagerly enough that it might be a little hard to tell the difference.]
I've found a number of books at the local library that I would like to copy for the Workshop's own library. Is there anyone that can assist me while we are still here? I cannot simply steal them. ... And is it possible we could find more interesting ones before we leave?
[Now you know why Drizzt has been quiet for a good portion of this jaunt: B O O K S. And yes, apparently Drizzt has managed to find the time to read even with all the things that have been happening. Drizzt is dedicated.]
((OOC: Running list of what I'm thinking of here. There will be updates.))

[About an hour after this whole mess, Drizzt addresses the network with some sort of dazed amusement.]
For those of you who have been warned what to do if another drow shows, I do not believe there will be further threats. It seems the Arcana have decided to only pull drow that are not particular threats to other Travelers.
If you meet our newest drow, Jarlaxle, you will... simply know it is him, I assure you. Do not attack him, even if he says something to make you want to do so.
His human companion, Artemis Entreri, is also from my world. Please do not attack him either.

[Drizzt's human hands are holding up some paper, his eyes focused on a note in neat Imperial Calligraphy:
I have your charts. If you want a chance of ever leaving this benighted island, bring me the Bando rebels’ box and give me safe passage back to the Empire.
K
Drizzt's gaze continues to linger on it as he speaks out loud, voice even but laced with anger. Yes, he's got a young teenager's voice. And yes, it doesn't do anger very well. Also yes, shut up.]
As the note says, our sea charts have been stolen. [You know, the ones Drizzt found after they didn't need them anymore?] I found this ransom note on the back of our charter.
Does anyone possess clues that might lead to the identity of the traitor? What course of action should we take? And where exactly would we meet this individual? They've neglected to mention a location with which to meet.

I want my Scimitars. :[
Jan. 16th, 2017 08:16 pmI would like to request help in creating some ordinary, nonmagical scimitars in Liminal Space. If we are to engage in any sort of battle, I wish to have the weapons most familiar to my hands, regardless of their appropriateness in the setting, to lessen the risk of me inadvertently harming one of the Stricken with lethal force.

Dec. 19th, 2016 04:22 pmOkay so I'm thinking this is another of those points where we could use someone who's been here and not just to Ninjaville before, but:
What the fuck was that noise last night, odds it's something we're here to deal with, and how do we make it stop?

Who's Steering this Boat?
Dec. 18th, 2016 05:02 pmThorne is seeing to who is still themselves, but there is a pressing matter for those of us aboard the Cornu since we have enough food and water to last for some time as well as some amount of weaponry.
Who here besides myself has experience sailing, and who will be at the helm? And to where should we go?
((OOC: you can see the details of what the ship holds here))
