For those who wish to learn how to do so for the upcoming ball, I am able to teach people how to do dances from the Earth 1920's. I can teach both leading and following with either a male or female partner.

[A pause]

On another, somewhat related note, what sorts of baked goods do people enjoy during the winter holidays?

I noticed during the previous Liminal space that decorated and amusingly or festively shaped cookies are common.

I now have a large kitchen with plenty of workspace, and am considering hosting a gathering for decorating and baking them for the ball. Though likely not until the current Liminal space changes.

I found out a few useful things about that amulet business.

There are three pieces total. It's meant to be one for each race, and they're supposed to be brought together during an annual ceremony - with two of them missing long enough to apparently be found in that excavation site, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that hasn't happened in quite some time. The Stonefolk don't seem to have ever lost theirs.

The timing for the ceremony itself is a few weeks out. Gil-san's overlay thinks we have until the end of the month to try and wrangle it into happening, and that'll require not only getting the pieces to the right people but finding a human who'd be willing to bring it to the ceremony.

I'm not sure what the ceremony entails beyond that, but this gives us something to work with, at least.

overlevende

If anyone needs a break from the Jaunt and a drink on top, there is a bar in Liminal where you can do both. I'd show you pictures if I could, but you'll just have to believe me that it exists and is rather fancy - if anyone with sensory livestreaming wants to come over and show the place off to the network, you're welcome.

For all those that can't do portals themselves, I can do a shuttle thing every six hours, so hit me up or ask someone else who can do portals. ...I'm also happy to teach the ability to create stationary portals to and from Liminal Space to those who wish to learn.

There's all sorts of alcohol here, though I'll need feedback on how good it is, and you can of course make your own if you have the skills.

Just look for the automatic sliding doors made of glass saying "Bar". You can't really miss it.

...Also, if someone could teach me how to turn this room permanent, that'd be useful for everyone, I think.

sees_red

Why did my brain just go from 4G to dial-up? Anybody?

happyhalloween

Uu. I think we're ghosts! This place reminds me of the Golden Land! Only I can't open doors here. It's not fair.

Is anyone else a ghost with me?

[A few minutes pass before she adds:]

Mr Raidou can see us!

[And maybe ten more before she adds:]

Uncle Matthew can too!

[And even later:]

And Mr Casper!

I 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.]

dontbetoncurry

So yeah, I get it, we're going to this Harrowgate place and a lot of you had a bad time there. Thing is while I'm sure defense against the dark arts or whatever you are calling it is important, it sounds more like a class that you teach to dorky wizards. I think we need to work out practical logistics.

Some people are saying the network is gunna be a mess, and you know what that means a more low tech solution. I propose that on the second day we're there around noon, we choose a location, like a city hall, or bar, or something, and meet there with a password like "Hey, where's a guy get a pint around here?" or something else reasonable to ask that wouldn't freak out the locals. Then when we know what the heck is going on we can hammer out a better plan.

Trust me, you work as a hit man as long as I have you make backup plans to meet with your pals to get a job done. After a day we'll have better knowledge of the mess we're in and we can hammer something together then. I mean really, have any of these jaunts started killing people the day we hit the ground?

awondrousplace

Hello, fellow Travelers. For once, I am not addressing everyone in regards to an entertainment of some sort.

Gentlemen, and those without a female reproductive system, you might want to tune me out from here on. Ladies, and anyone with a female reproductive system, I have something for you.

A few Liminal Spaces back, I realized that no one here has made any sort of contraceptives for those who might wish to engage in activities that would result in unfortunate consequences.

[For all that she adored Christina eventually... it was an unfortunate consequence.]

I have made a liquid that will halt conception for three months. It is completely reversible if you ever wish to bear a child, but it will prevent both pregnancy and menstruation.

For those who live in an earlier age and do not understand, I am happy to talk you through what goes on, and what my concoction does.

If you would like some, please, by all means, come to my rooms. My door is always open, and I will not ask any questions of you.

eldritchwheelies

Add me to the list of eldritch defense 101 teachers. I have dealt with way more agents of the Ancient Ones than my share, and this is going to be my second Harrowgate excursion. We'd need a soundproofed classroom for it, but that shouldn't be hard to conjure up.

And yeah: let's also make this the "please pull our heads out of our Infiltrations" signup thread. You do not want me on either Team Cultist or Team Exorcist this round.

bite_the_hand

What the shit was that!? I know we end up in overlays that have a lot in common with us, but that was too close! The asshole that double-crossed my overlay and his band-mates was too much like that backstabbing bastard Reiner! The people he ran off with were just like the other two traitors we had to deal with back at the Walls too!

And why was our band named Basement Dilemma!? Basement Dilemma! Is what my old man did going to start messing with me even when I'm Infiltrating now!?

Has anyone had an overlay's life be that close to their own before!? That was exactly the life I probably would've had if I was born into a normal world instead of that Titan-infested hellhole of a cage!

wickedestwitch

So. Quick questions.

How many Witches or Wizards do we have among us? I suppose Mages count too, but that seems a less formal term to me and 'magic users’ is a bit broad considering some of what some of us can do.

I'm asking because my own magic is… unpredictable and irreversifyible in it's outcomes.

Flying monkeys were an accident.

[Which is probably one of the oddest statements to hear anyone say outside of context.]

Before anyone yells, I'm a trained Witch and well aware of the risk and dangers of magic. I went to college for it.

I don't want to invade anyone's toes when it comes to specializations within a subset of this color magic. I just… don't want to sit back and be rescued all the time like some silly damsel in impractical footwear and a tiara.

...also if anyone could bring me more of that fuzzy water in Liminal I would appreciate it.

theflyingone

We need to wear as much leather as possible.

[ Altaïr's voice is urgent but quiet as he Livestreams. Heavy metal music plays on the speakers inside a clothing store, masking his conversation as he examines some leather jackets. ]

There is to be some sort of competition. This is what some of the bands of warriors look like. [ He pointed to a poster on the wall of a biker. ] You may have seen them working in the clearing. It would be good to protect ourselves in similar leathers. It will be more difficult to blend in on this Jaunt. It seems everyone is human, with no strange powers.

I have found shops where we may purchase leathers. Most of it is inferior, but I can help you find something that will protect you. Meet me in the city. [ He unfolds a map of Santa Carlita and points to downtown. ]

...If you intend to ride the large carriage, get on it quickly. It does not wait.

[ ooc: shopping toplevel here ]

loyalrebel

In a lighter announcement than usual, Callum and I have made tacos in Aiya. The meat is beef, though requests for others can be made as well. I am trying to convince him to make ones with lamb in an experiment.

Anyone who wishes to partake of them is welcome to them.

[Because that is clearly the most important bit going on here.]

I am of the mindset that sharing food of our different homes is a way to come closer together as a group even loosely.

We do not have to like one another or agree on the large issues, but we can find a level of common ground between us.

In that light, what sort of things are common where you are from?

haveabiscuit

[She's given some manner of thought to what transpired. While she understands her overlay's actions quite well, there is one thing that stands out from all of it.]

Did I truly start lecturing gods?

[Overlay or not. She's pretty sure she did.]

haremtrap

So this whole "jaunt" thing is very weird.

SAGE said I shouldn't act until I've got a better picture of what's going on and honestly, that doesn't sound like bad advice.

So I got a job. I am now a scribe at the Temple of Apollo. There's lots of important people talking to each other here, and they don't pay attention to scribes. Even if they did, they don't think scribes can overhear their important but private conversations about politics and stuff from fifty feet away.

I have really good hearing.

If I find out anything interesting, I'll pass it along here. If you all have anything you want me to keep an ear out for, lemme know.

failgoyle

SO I'M A STONE GARGOYLE AND I'M OUT IN THE SUN AND THE WIND IS CARRYING ME AWAY AND THIS IS BAD REALLY BAD I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING OUT HERE AND MY HOUSE IS GONE AND THIS IS THE WORST!

[Someone might have noticed all this fuss.]

forcechanic

[She probably should have cleared this up before the last jaunt. Because Star Wars is a thing in people's universes and that could be an issue. But... it was a lot to deal with, so she wasn't quite ready to say it before.]

I guess I should bring this up before it becomes an issue. Remember how we have that rule about not attacking other Travellers?

[And now that they've learned of the Floor they know why they have that rule]

I just want to remind everyone it still applies if other Travellers appear to be... famous movie villains. Especially since everything he's done so far... it fits what Uncle Luke said about how Grandfather was at the end. We're really dealing with Anakin Skywalker, not Darth Vader. He just... still has the armour.

[She can't really get her head around it yet. But she should say it, make sure people give him more chance than watching a movie might.]

loyalrebel

...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.

returnofme

Hello?

[That psychic voice belongs to precisely none of the Investigators currently in Sarmatia... but Callum and Cassandra, at least, might recognize it from the pizza place liminal.]

Hi? This is Luke Skywalker? Can anyone hear me?

stopinthenameofawe

Are you fucking kidding me.

[hello, Walkabout. Looks like Melissa is not terribly happy with where they've landed! Well, she's not super happy under normal circumstances, but even less so now.]

...alright, fine. Who else wound up here?
