Yo. So, been out in the Wakin' World - I figure the other guys out here are gonna have their own things to share, but got some stuff that ... Well, it ain't pretty. I mean, it's kinda pretty if you can see it but - ah, hell, you know what I mean.

Uploaded the raw data to the network if anyone can handle it. But lemme try and show-

[Kanji starts streaming a view of a computer display - showing what looks like a map of Snowflake picked out in strange colours and fine threads. A hand taps the screen briefly, cycling through different displays of interlocking fractals, but one thing stands out clearly: the patterns converge on the space elevator.]

Was expectin' to get some kinda ...tracking data when I went looking. Got this instead. It's ... it's crazy complex, but there's only three real frequency ranges bein' transmitted in there.

Turns out they're the same frequencies as your regular dreamin' person's brainwaves. And the Skyhook elevator's the antenna that's blastin' it all. It's everywhere...

truerevelation

Hey.

Alright, guys. I've ... I've been thinkin' about this for a little while, but I oughta let you know. ...In case you come lookin' for me or something like that.

Been sharing brain space with someone else for this one, and ... I think I'm gonna let him take over running the show. There's a lotta stuff here that... it should be him doing it. Not me. Even if I've been trying to go with what he'd like and think what he's thinking, it ain't the same.

[Not around some of the base's locals, it isn't.]

Might sound weird, but ... screw it. I owe the guy one.

I figure taking a nap ain't gonna hurt. There's people out here who can give me a poke if you really need what I can do, yeah?

[Whatever that is, he tries not to think.]

truerevelation

[Here's a psychic voice that the old-time Travellers haven't heard - or experienced? - before. There's an air of calm determination to the words.
Newer-era ones will be far more likely to recognise the tone.]

Yo, alright. Kanji here, checkin' in - just arrived from over Walkabout with some friends to lend a hand. Heard you folks are sticking it to the man by... re-stealin' a bunch of cows? Am I getting that right? Could use a bit of filling in.

But I ... [want to make the trip worth it, don't want to have run out on people for no good reason] wanna do something if I can. Uh, I do communications - hacking, sorta, and signal crap, or I can go bust a few goons down if they need busting. Hope that's useful somewhere...

So yeah. Good to ... be here?

[Matt might be good at the network, but that doesn't mean he has complete control over his thoughts. Sometimes things slip through. But in this case, it's probably for the better.]

Oh, for the love of space peas, that's it!

[He pauses, and then sets out to make slightly more coherent comments. Standing in front of a mirror, at first all people can see is a detailed star chart. Anyone who is familiar with stars from earth would know this isn't exactly a view from Earth, but it's similar.]

So, I totally forgot that I got blessed with visions or hallucinations or something like that, but I had a... something of a star field. I don't know if I was there or in a planetarium or what, but I drew it out.

And then I realized. This is the star field as seen from Mars. I'd be a crap Garrison graduate if I couldn't figure that one out. So, uh, on top of everything else that's going on, we're going to Mars.

I haven't been there myself, but my dad's told me a lot about it, so I can help. I hope.

truerevelation

[Unusually for something that's just chatter, Kanji's throwing an image projection onto the network as he talks - dark hair, decorated leather jacket, all the rest of his usual human appearance. He's looking optimistically thoughtful.]

Hey. So I was talking to one of the new guys - hi everyone, by the way. Something came up... yeah, we're pretty good at getting folks food and places to stay around here now. And we keep working on ways to get info about this whole Travelling mess out to people.

But... we can probably do better by now.

So I was wonderin'. What other sorts of things would be good to get ready for newbies? I'm thinking of getting stuff like more clothes out 'n ready... anyone wanna pitch in?

[As much as he's tempted to, he won't rub Souji's departure in anyone's face by commenting about how long some people had stayed in school uniform...]

Just a thought, huh.

[Closed to close/trusted CR:]

And... okay. Dunno how much of this I should be spreadin' across the network, but... I think I oughta let you guys know, at least. The timeline shit's started again. If you see a - a younger version of me, still doin' the dye thing, with a kinda ...dark pinky red cloak?

He's callin' himself Ochre, and I think he's ... been through some shit even before gettin' here. Memory's kinda hosed. The rest of it's probably ... more his story to tell, but ... yeah.

Man. Been ... been a while since somethin' like this, ain't it.

truerevelation

Hey.

I know most of us have just been tryin' to keep the hell out of the Starquakes' way, but ... been back to doing a bit of investigating them. Well. Some of it's me, but Minako got something big outta it all that I figure people oughta hear.

This ain't natural. The Quakes, all the transformations, whether that's people or places... they're something's way of trying to reach out and grab people. Talk to them, or ... or through 'em, from some of the stuff I've been hearing. Got some stuff from Lupa that sounds like Harbingers are connected to the wills behind it all, and those things are huge.

But ... it's one big question. The thing that's making them happen, or the things... powerful, yeah, but ... they're lonely.

They're askin' who else ... or where else ... is out there.

It's all coming from ... somewhere beyond the rest of Questing Country. Like the cave people have been poking, but that ain't the right spot - good job, huh. Dunno if the thing's even trying to cause as much of a mess as it is, but all these ... these different dreams and layers of dreams, never mind what the hell that rock's doing... it's kind of turning into something like an avalanche. Throw one pebble and the whole damn mountain comes down. That's how it looks to me, anyway.

And it's still making me think about that thing that caused the Tachyon Storm. That big glowy thing. ...Am I right in rememberin' people talking about 'Starmovers'? Or am I gettin' mixed up with other star stuff?

truerevelation

[Is that birdsong on the Jaunt network? To start with, at least, before-]

Right, Piyo, I'm getting there!

[...cheep. chpee? hpeec. chp!]

[A slightly stressed Kanji speaks up again, though hiding it better now-] Uh. Hey. So everyone's... companions've started talkin' nonsense, ain't they? I mean. We all kinda heard Ryo.
Was wonderin' what sorta messages everyone's getting. If it actually means anything... I know that stuff gets cryptic sometimes, but this is kinda ... taking all the cakes. Still. It's got me thinking. Started when the Glatasshole got beaten, right? So what changed there?

...Ow! Peckin' me ain't clear communication either!

youandyoualone

Although I know that clean-up from the battle with the Glatisant and the message gleaned from its remains is likely of the utmost importance as of now--as well as the matter of the unintelligible Familiars and Spirit Companions--I do have some news that I hope will aid in improving the lot of the Adversaries of the earliest era.

Before her vocabulary became limited to a single word, the vixen who attached herself to me instructed me on how I might use Oracular knowledge to glean further knowledge on Sanctions. What I have learned is this:

These Sanctions use the power of existing bonds between people, either the ones doing the Sanctioning or those bonded with the person Sanctioned. As these bonds are real in the Realm of Dreams, they can prevent action just as well as rope or shackles might--although 'tis only acts with intention they can prevent, not accidental acts, for it is the dream of action that they prevent.

They can be entered into willingly and with consent, but unless that consent was explicitly and deliberately part of that Sanction, rescinding consent would not break the Sanction.

After learning this, I wished to know more of how one would break the Sanctions and Fidelite, who was then still in possession of her full vocabulary, advised me to build a Dreamcatcher and have it gather energy in the Questing Country of the earliest era for roughly a week. Fortunately, I was already there after the bridge broke.

Shortly before the battle started, my Dreamcatcher was deemed sufficiently filled by my still-coherent Familiar, and now that the fighting has concluded, I have had time to look within to see what might break the Sanctions. That information was granted to me in a series of three visions:

The first, of bitter and acrimonious arguments between Champions and Oracles, leading to the severing of a bond group, also severing all Sanctions they created.

The second, of a cabal of Adversaries furtively meeting, banding together, forming a fresh bond--overwriting the Sanction with the energy of their alliance.

And the third and most intriguing, of a heavy, metal-hafted mace, light wavering around its head like one reads in reports of desert mirages.

truerevelation

Okay. Just got some quick info for everyone.
I know folks have been focusing on ... uh, gettin' info on what the big uglies have been doing, but took some time to check stuff Starquake side. Had a ... bit of a hunch.

So yeah... For anyone who remembers the Gehenna Jaunt? The spaceships? Part of the ... well, the data there, the signals in the noise - it's hard to describe. But it sounds and feels a hell of a lot like the tachyon song - uh, storm. Or the thing that was on the ship singing back in time at us.

There's a lotta other data in there too that I'm still tryin' to process. Ain't got the whole picture. But with all the time ...whatever it is... that's going on anyway... yeah, this is gonna take some work. Any thoughts?

leftbehindagain

[Hopefully the 'Goodly Ones' have escaped the church vortex for the time being when this message comes through.]

Hello, presumably-the-walkabout, since there's enough people missing over here to point to one. This is Naoki. I can keep this line up for fifteen minutes or so, since it has others patched through.

We did end up in Questing Country - and they were expecting us, which is weird. Apparently after we all went missing at once after the Valence quest the Oracles got curious and did some digging. There's some other stuff with three timelines converging, but we're still learning about that.

Where did you guys end up? And for the people who requested this bridge on this side, is Alcuin-san available to talk?

(OOC: Another nine jauntside folks can jump in on this bridge, as two spots are already taken by Thorne and Delaunay. Let me know on plurk or by PM if you want in!)

truerevelation

Alright.

So ... I ain't gotta tell anyone where we are this time, and from the stuff people were sayin' on the network, returning here ain't the biggest surprise anyone's ever had. Even if we did get the red carpet bit... Yeah, this is Questing Country - magical kinda Liminal Space dreamland. The Oracles over at the table are the best guys to ask about what this place is.

But I figure we still need to work out who is and isn't actually us. Except, uh. Wash.

[That was psychic shouting and his ears are still ringing from it somehow, OK.]

So this is Kanji checking in. Give us a yell if you're hearing this? How you're doing, all that stuff. Or if you've got powers up and goin' here... anyone else been species switched, too?

...But, uh. If you see a guy who looks like my plain Hecatite form, that ain't me. That's my old overlay, and I think he wanted his powers back or something. Hell if I know what mine are right now.

truerevelation

So I'm gettin' the feeling that a bunch of people have come back with other forms again, right? Me too. One'f those Jaunts.

It got me thinkin'. Yeah, most of the time, feels like clothes ain't somethin' worth worrying about when ya can swap back or do liminal stuff... but can be a pain in the [not around little Rosie]... uh, tail sometimes, right? So would anyone want a hand with getting some stuff together that works with ... wings, tails, funny ears... you know. Any of that sorta stuff from ... wherever. Some proper wardrobe bits. Or maybe with a hand customising some of their own gear?

I dunno. Just an idea.

truerevelation

Uh. Hey, folks. Coupla things ... kinda connected, I dunno.

First, anyone heard anything about this missing band? Symulakrum. Sounds like half of the fuss is them goin' missing last night...

Second ... 'cause of that ... there was an empty spot in the schedule. And someone [not naming any names Maria] signed my ass up for it. ...Dunno how she pulled it off.

But ... yeah, I can sing. Pretty good, if I say so myself. I've got a bunch of tapes 'n some of my music shit in the car, but I came here for a break, right? ... 'Casey' me not 'Kanji' me. That ain't gonna cut it for a big show like this.
...So. This is gonna be a hell of a rush, but anyone up for getting a band together?

truerevelation

[Absolutely no-one should be surprised by people flailing loudly on the network.

However, the fact that the person flailing is someone other than the usual culprits this time... his voice babbles in and out of the network, in and out of 'audio'.]

What - what - who am... this ain't, what am I doin', I shouldn't be hearing - ugh! Kallias ain't, Kallias can't hear the - but I'm - shit, no, this is wrong... just like last time - ngh ... I'm me, dammit! I am you, you are me, gotta be me...

[Someone clearly does not adjust easily to having two lots of lives shoved into his head at once.]

...help?

--

[Somewhat later on, once Kanji's sufficiently untangled his mind and checked what he can on the network and via his other skills - a message comes over the line, private and protected to the Investigating members of the Rescue Team and/or Wolves:]

Guys ... I just - I've gotta ... I've gotta talk to you before I find a way to punch someone through the network!

Why are people bein' so damn blind? I've been seein' it smacked in my face for the past coupla weeks. The old world's over. And they're tryin' to not get involved? Or wanna leave it to be ruined? The hell am I even seein'?

I ... we need to get this sorted out. And so does everyone else who gives a shit about not just letting this blow up... ngh.

truerevelation

Yo, everyone.

Been thinkin' about something like this for a while. But we ain't had a lot of good Liminals to do it in. This one's ... kinda perfect for it.

Who's up for a full on lightcycle race? Not just a coupla folks runnin' around. Everyone who wants to compete... why not, huh?

Probably gonna need folks to watch the course, too. Make sure no-one's cuttin' corners or ... busting out powers or stuff. Might be good if a coupla flyers could help out or something?

But yeah - if anyone likes the sound'f it, I'll get stuff set up.

((Log will be up later, along with an OOC signup to RNG a winner.))

papacerberus

[Lupa's first broadcast on the psychic network happens a couple hours after this event. He sounds worried, but calm when he speaks up.]

Has anyone had contact with Raidou in the past few hours? I lost track of his presence a couple hours ago, and a search for his will brought up nothing just now. I'm becoming concerned.

[Lupa's second broadcast comes several days later, a little into the start of Week 3. He sounds very worried, tone clipped with barely reigned in emotion.]

Raidou is still missing, and now that my dreamcatcher has refilled, I used my powers over will to seek direction. I'm being guided towards using a skill that should take me to the Walkabout, if I understand it correctly. I haven't used it before, and there is much happening here but... to my knowledge Raidou is without backup over there, if he did somehow transfer over, as I now suspect. I can't leave a comrade alone without backup, especially when everyone here has plenty of support.

[Touch of guilt there, because he doesn't want to leave everyone here without his support either, but he can't be in two places at once.]

I don't believe I'll have a way of contacting anyone once I go over, so I'm sending notice now.

((ooc: rather than clog up the comm with two separate, short posts, I rolled them into one. Please make clear which your character is responding to, if possible!))

truerevelation

...So. Someone got me thinkin'. Ain't the first time I've kinda wondered, but... Yeah.

Not everyone does this whole Valentine thing, or half'f the stuff my kinda world does. But we've seen stuff like ... we had Samhain back in January, right? And - what was that one in Nova Venezia? It's on the tip'f my tongue, or, uh, my brain, can't quite remember it...

I'm just ... kinda curious what kinda things there are everywhere else that're special to people. Things you celebrate where you're from. I dunno.

senpaidol

Hey guys! I started trying to figure out the date again and realized something important. Since we had that month of Liminal weirdness that changed the Jaunt schedule, it shooould be about the middle of February. As much as that means anything here. You know what that means!

...well if you're from modern Earth, you know what that means. If you're not, it's Valentine's Day! It's a holiday for spending time with someone you love and sharing candy with them. Also with friends and family but maybe that's just a Japan thing. Either way, we can do it here.

Anyone who wants to try and make some chocolate, come meet me in the Workshop kitchen. Or...if no one's interested, can I at least get someone who can make ingredients? I need to make a lot of chocolate this year...

Anyway, go out and celebrate with people you love! If you don't have someone you love, celebrate with your friends! If you don't have any friends, I'll be your friend! Let's give PSYCHE-chan one more celebration before we start the next round, okay?

((Did a physical mingle here as well!))

loyalrebel

If anyone is in need of it, there is an entrance to the Workshop through my front room for anyone who has need of it. I managed to put an entrance on either side of the wall between the groups up in the balconies.

I do not care whether you consider yourself friendly towards me or not, all are welcome to use it to access the other side or reach the Workshop. I will do what I can to maintain the dual entrances for as long as we are divided.

[There's a bit of a pause to indicate his shift in subject.]

I have been thinking on the nature of our time infiltrating as well, the parallels and differences between ourselves are difficult to ignore. It cannot be random who we end up overlaying with in these worlds.

I wonder if any of you have thoughts on this matter as well. It is something we may as well discuss.

fruitknife

Quick question. They have us in two groups, and far as I can tell, one's smaller than the other - so who all on the smaller side can do food? I'm working on it but I don't have it down yet.

Maybe a better question, how the hell are we gonna distribute anything?

[Shinji's cranky - he can't find Minako or a way back to the nice warm bedroom Helena gave him - but if there's one thing he's been good at from an early age, it's using his crankiness to get shit done.]
