...if we ever get sent back to Pogtopia, whatever we do; stop my Overlay. He lied to everyone the entire time, and he wants nothing more than total control of both worlds. He's also willing to go to whatever lengths necessary to achieve that control.

He knew about Nevermore the entire time, and supported the attacks on the human world up until someone got killed.

He also knows about us Travelers and that we have powers not native to either world.

He... does not believe in allowing people real freedom.

Hi. This is Luke. I've got some news. First the good (I think) news: I got in contact with the Walkabout, although I could only talk for a couple minutes before I got cut off. Like Lyall said, they're in Sarmatia. There's only three of them now who're Investigating. The rest are Infiltrating. Cassandra says there's some people--'Americans?'--shooting a 'movie' about vampires and werewolves, but the real ones just want them to go away. They still aren't sure what they're supposed to do there.

I filled her in a little about everything that's going on here. When I mentioned Nevermore's 'Edgelord' title, she said that evidently Devil's been called that before, so I don't know if that means that Devil is mixed up in this too. She did say something else interesting, though. There was another Investigator there, Melissa, that she hasn't seen all week. And I know through my work for Agent Jules that Malik's wife Melissa just woke up from her coma.

I also asked about Raidou and Lupa. None of them know who Raidou is, but Cassandra's seen Lupa and he's an Infiltrator again. So that might be what happened with Melissa? Since it sounds like she might be our Melissa.

So that's the news from the Walkabout.

The other news is that, well, I tried to use the Force to help me gain insight into everything going on here. I didn't get any insight through the Force... but I think my Mark just told me something. And I know that sounds ridiculous... but it's true.

It told me that Malik was actually complicit with 'Auriel's' most recent schemes... because he wants to be in charge of human-Pogemon relations. So... I think this might be what the Emperor meant when he was telling people that 'chaos can't be a servant of order.'

leftbehindagain

Has anyone else been accosted by Jules-san? It seems his overlay's doing government work of some sort.

And he said his staff got waylaid and didn't actually show up, so if anyone's looking for an in to find out what he might be up to, he could probably use the help. If I hadn't been dragooned into tournament staff within five minutes of getting here, I'd consider it myself.

amadine

This is certainly the clearest message we've had from our delightful hosts in quite some time. Maybe they actually intend to make us aware of which of them is winning after all, instead of leaving us to guess and grope after everything.

Tell me, I'm curious: was it the intent of our Investigators that the Hermit should win, or was it just left to chance?

professorwolf

Does anyone else have any background in biology or chemistry? I thought I might investigate this Stricken thing from a more scientific perspective, and I wouldn't mind some help. It's the only thing I can think of to do that might actually be useful. It might all be for naught, if it's an entirely magical sort of thing, but at least I can try.

And before anyone worries, I'm about ninety-nine percent certain I'm immune. The whole undead werewolf thing, you know. I don't really get sick, and I already have a particularly restricted diet and desire to eat things I shouldn't, so I doubt this will do anything to me.

Thorne, I don't suppose you could convince the local leaders here to let me near their afflicted? I'll wear a medical mask, and everything, but you've spoken with them already and I think it might go over well if I had a spokesperson, rather than going about asking for cheek swabs and blood draws willy-nilly.

chalicejoker

Look, being back in the Bando...it's not good for Matthew or for me. Not after the last Jaunt. Matthew thinks he can open a portal to the Walkabout, and if any of the missing people aren't hiding around somewhere else here, they'll be there.

So we're leaving. I won't wreck anything, he won't get recognized...it's for the best. Don't worry about us.

[There's a very short pause, and then...]

Shit. Shit! That didn't...

thornsofmalkav

All right. In the interest of keeping everyone on the same page, here's the story we're going with, at least on the finny side of things. Those of you with legs should work your story to fit with this.

We're calling ourselves the Cornu school currently, although that's not our original name. We had territory invaded by the Thalassans and during the invasion we lost all our sirens and the bulk of our warriors. We're running away to regroup and figure out where we're going next, so we're only asking if they'll let us stay on the island for a month or two. Like we discussed, I'm currently de facto Leader, but I'm very new at this.

There was a storm. We found the Cornu, which had its crew swept overboard. No one knew the Song of Breath, so we couldn't do anything. Because we felt responsible, we said we'd help the passengers and the cabin boy find their way to shore, but because they got blown off course it made more sense to try to find the legendary island hidden in the Labyrinthine Shoals than to get them to a human port. They're here to hunt and fish and replenish their supplies so we can take them to the human port.

We're probably going to only need to stay for a month or two. That covers how long the Jaunt should last.

I'm going to be vague as to where you humans come from originally, but you should probably get the story together. I think Lyall knows where you're going to claim to be from?

Lupa, you should really try not to Sing in front of people, but if you get caught... you were raised by mermaids--not our school--and you lost them and booked passage on the Cornu to find them. We are completely confused as to why you can Sing at all, but we're keeping you alive so we can find out. And also because it would upset the other humans.

All we know about the Pulao school is that they're just as confused about the weird Song as we are.

Sooooo I don't know who's been talking to Kyan at all, but he's been trying to figure out what's going on with the Tachyon storm. Apparently, he's thinking now maybe we shouldn't try to outrun it. He's not scared of it anymore, apparently, and since the data in it is so organized he's wondering if it's carrying information about something...?

I don't really know what that could mean, but considering we're trying to outrun the thing (and sort of failing at the moment), I feel like this is probably important.

morbirdinterest

I have been investigating the new portals using some skills from a previous Jaunt. Two things have revealed themselves to me, which may be of interest.

First, my Control Panel returns a reading of "extra-system access loci" when I use it near a portal. This suggests to me that some entity other than the Trumps is creating, and likely using, these portals.

Second, and quite coincidentally, while activating my Control Panel in a secluded part of the Empress, I discovered that there are dead bodies in the reactor. Eight of them.

bite_the_hand

What the hell is going on!?

[Eren has evidently found a secluded enough space to start literally yelling at the Network. Enjoy the extremely loud and slightly panicked voice in your heads, Travelers.]

I'd heard some people could get back into Liminal Space on a Jaunt, but no one said anything about these doorways opening up and letting anyone through! I thought it was supposed to just be Investigators! Is this normal!?

[Now the worry in his voice gets a lot more obvious.]

I thought going back into Liminal Space was what turned Infiltrators back into themselves. But I've already seen some of them go in and not turn back! This doesn't mean they're all stuck like this now, does it!?

((ooc note: I really wanted to make this post, but Real Life is probably going to delay my replies until Monday. Sorry about that, I'll get back to this as soon as I can!))

darkhourdear

Hi everyone! So, um, I've found out some stuff and... made some stuff up and Zatanna and I had a thought about something. ...I'll keep the stuff I made up and the stuff I found out separate.

The big thing I guess is that if everything goes like it's supposed to, the ships people are working on should be up and flying within a few days. There's a Tachyon storm coming and so everyone needs to get off planet. The thought we had is that we didn't know if the network would still connect us all if we're on different ships? If there's a range to how far we can be before the network stops working for everyone. I don't know if that'll happen or not, but if it does then we figured it would be better for us all to be prepared for the idea rather than freak out when it's cut off.

Um, other stuff... yeah, so, this world is connected to Questing Country. Hecatites and Gorgons are both a thing here- so far I've seen Charoite, Luci, and Kore but there might be more wandering around. There are also Diabolins, and apparently they used to have a history of kidnapping people from pre-space flight species, so if you want to claim to be from something like that you could. Earth is the human homeworld, but apparently they only got into space recently. Or, at least this far in to space. Ships crash here a lot, too, so that's a good excuse for being here. Otherwise everyone is like exiled or imprisoned here, unless they're born here. Everyone except humans throw people here as punishment, apparently. There are weird fire worms that eat metal away from the town... oh! And whoever Kanji is Infiltrating as is an astronomer who's watching the storm. If anyone knows anything about that kind of stuff, I think he could use some help.

[aaaand now for the stuff Phillip made up, where his voice sounds distinctly more sheepish.]

Also, if anyone needs a cover story, I kind of made up a species so I wouldn't have to deal with not knowing anything about what Earth is like at this point. I can probably add more things to it to cover random Traveler stuff- I might say we can telepathically communicate with each other so we could use the network and things- so if anyone wants to use, it let me know and I'll figure out how to try and make it plausible.

howexciting

... let us get this over with so we can return to Liminal Space. This place is unpleasant.

Leonardo da Vinci, present. Known infiltrators: Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Known missing: Genevieve Blanchard and Zed. I... cannot sense them through our Bond. They were likely sent on a Walkabout.

For anyone who does not know about radiation and is near an area expected to get to 150 rads or more - get out of there immediately. Such radiation levels might cause adverse effects on your body, unless you have the proper protection. Find a safer place. I might be able to distribute suits from the Ivory Tower to combat the radiation, but I do not know how much they would stand out. Still, it might be worth the risk so that we are not harmed in the process.

[How about that, the Ivory Tower was useful after all.]

Please list any confirmed infiltrators and any confirmed missing persons so we are more aware of our current numbers.

memorizza

So since the books in this place are huge letdown and it looks like we're gonna need someplace to store physical records soon, has anybody thought about building a library in here?

['Here' of course meaning Liminal Space in general, not this one specifically since... Transient.]

Seems like we could use one.

[And although he's already mentioned it before attached to another (admittedly more important) broadcast:]

...If someone wants to give me a pen and a couple empty notebooks I could probably get us started off with some stuff from home.

[Super low budget, but it is what it is.]

creativefool

Yo. Everyone. Listen up.

Just been told a few things that're going down around here, and we could have trouble. ... More trouble than just endin' up on the edge of Hell.

Does the phrase 'the Name of the Divine' mean anythin' to anyone? 'Cause it ain't just a name. It's somethin' that's real here. It's something powerful. From what I've heard, there's ninety-nine parts to it.

And one of 'em is missing.

Even that one bit of it's got enough power to wipe this place off the map.

Unfortunately, I ain't got any info on what it looks like - if it's somethin' that's been written down somewhere, or something else. But there's at least one angel who's actively lookin' for it 'n trying to get it back where it belongs. It's gotta be the reason that everything was so tense when we got here, with the mail shut down 'n the security and all of that...

So that's the deal. Think we might want to keep a look out for information on this thing, though I ain't sure what we can really do about it... anyone heard anything so far?

nicotinized

So I guess right now we're doing introductions and getting heavy shit out of the way, huh? I'm Toshizou Hijikata - the taller one, with the cyberarm. There's two of us with the same name here.

I've talked to a few people about this already, but I realized a while ago that we should probably stockpile supplies when we can - there's been a few times we've been stuck here in liminal space for extended periods of time, and some of the Jaunts aren't to the most habitable places. And there's a limit to what I can store in liminal space, not to mention that if I'm out of the picture, nobody can get to it - it benefits us all for anyone who can store stuff to do so. Water or water purification supplies, food that won't spoil, medical supplies, shit like that. Don't steal if if you can help it - trade work or supplies with the locals, or find someone with currency left over from something else.

I also have some tazers for anyone who doesn't have a weapon or other means of self-defense and wants one. They're pretty easy to use, but the charge is limited and I'm not swimming in power supplies.

And I know this is a long shot but - anyone here with any skill at cybernetics maintenance?

howexciting

... Perdonatemi, I have an announcement.

I am not sure anyone else is aware of this, but the payphone by the door can connect to the Trumps. Or at least, when I attempted to call a Trump, it went through. I am not sure if all the Trumps are available for a call or not. I have heard some of them are dead, so they are likely not, at least. In truth, I am not really sure why they are allowing us to speak to them, now. We should all proceed with caution.

Further... if anyone has information on any of the Trumps that appeared this past Jaunt - The Magician, going by ROSE; The Hermit, going by SAGE; and The Devil - please, share it. I am not well versed in the mystical meanings behind the Tarot, only the cards and their numbers. The Magician is one, The Hermit nine, and the Devil fifteen. While I cannot say I know much about The Hermit, I am aware of many aspects of SAGE, as I was a Crypto this past Jaunt. I... I can tell you what little I know about him, if it would help.

... lastly, if anyone was Marked and feels comfortable coming forward with that information, I would be much obliged to hear it. Private or public, it does not concern me; I shall not come forward with that information unless you are comfortable providing it publicly. With so many Trumps amongst us, I cannot believe any of them would leave empty-handed, as it were.

professorwolf

[It's a bit odd putting his thoughts out on the network without something direct to reply to, but Lyall is giving it a go.]

Ah. Forgive me, I'm afraid I'm a bit new here, but I had some questions and I'm hoping someone might have answers... this seemed the easiest way to seek them out, without having to hunt people down individually. Especially as I don't know very many of you all yet.

I'm Randolph Lyall. Biology teacher from New Jersey. Also werewolf from Victorian England. It's a bit complicated.

But most pressing, I suppose, is that I need to know just how much of these Jaunts stay with us... I remember everything, but I don't seem to be able to do everything. Not that I've tried everything yet, exactly, but certain things are a bit fuzzy. Like the mechanics of having one's faction changed. I understood it implicitly after it happened, but now it's all confusing, like it happened to somebody else. And I could do this intense focus work, KALI called it Constructive Enlightenment, but it's quite gone, now.

Also, someone mentioned lessons in Tarot, and seeing as they seem to be pretty important to all this... I'm definitely going to want those, if they're still available.

Lastly, how did it take me this long to realize we have Leonardo daVinci here?

[The last sounds a little like he should be a teenager saying "oh my god that is so awesome" despite the generally polite and controlled sound of the rest of it.]

shiroganeheir

I cannot be the only person who is worried about PSYCHE-net, can I? I have no problems with androids or robots, however there is just something unsettling about this that I cannot put my finger on. We need to keep a close watch on this so-called beta situation.

Also, is anyone else suspicious about this... entity? I am beginning to wonder if we are encountering another one of our infamous Trumps. The Lovers comes to mind. Any thoughts?

hakodate

[There's a bit too much chaos to deal with it while the flash mob is still going, but as soon as things settle down, for some relative value of settling down, Hijikata's straight on to business.]

If this is your first jaunt: don't panic, try to blend in.

Some of our number are going to think they belong in this world. If you can hear this, then obviously, you're not one of them. Keeping an eye on our infiltrators is usually our second clue to figuring out what the hell we're supposed to be doing here.

Our first one is when we arrive in the middle of some shitstorm like this, though - that usually means something. So it's sounding like this one's got to do with... [A slight noise of frustration. This is not his wheelhouse.] Romantic shit? Valentine's Day? If any of you are experts, now would be a good time to tell the rest of us. Or if you know a lot about, I don't know, weddin-

[Actually, no, this is not how he wants to start wedding planning, he is going to cut himself the hell off there. Embarrassedly.]

We usually start by checking in, anyway, so if you're still yourself, speak up. If you've noticed anyone is definitely an infiltrator, tell us that, too; you might as well save us the trouble of saying something really goddamned stupid to them while we're trying to figure it out.

fridgeninja

Welcome back, everyone. Usually there's no dangers in Liminal Space, but this one might be different - has anyone checked to see if we can breathe the water, or if we need to breathe at all? Does anyone else have any ideas about the symbolism?

More importantly, I see some blood on the tiles by the biggest waterslide - is anyone injured?

... How did things end for you, in the Jaunt?

Everyone who's new to having voices in your head, please be patient with us: we've all just had a very trying experience.
