...I'm going to go cook and people are welcome to make requests and eat with me.
You know. To get the taste of being A Jimothy out of my mouth.
...that's probably unfair to Admiral Caine since Jim Preston was way more outright evil but really.

Wow guys, this liminal is super subtle. I wonder where we're going and what we're gonna be doing there.
All joking aside, any idea which Arcana are left this round? Or whose idiom this place is in? I wouldn't have expected them to settle their differences with a good old fashioned mecha scrum, but good to know that at least one Arcanum appreciates the classics I guess.
Oh, and does anyone like tea? I will gladly trade tea for drinks that are not tea.

I intend to bridge the psychic divide to find out more about what's happening Jaunt-side and to pass on information about this place.
Does anyone have any message to pass on or ideas on questions to ask those Jaunt-side about their status?

At long last, Episode Poutine
May. 10th, 2019 07:57 pm[There's a jaunty tune, a message in your head, from a bright young girlish voice:]
Heeey what's up Travellers new and old, I'm Sara Smith and this is Snackin' with Sara. I like to demonstrate just what we can learn to do here every time we get new folks on board, and what better way than with a bit of cooking?
This one is a special request I've been meaning to get to from my friend Casper. I'm going to livestream myself cooking poutine, the super delicious sometimes food from Canada. Now, livestreaming is super disorienting, so if it's a bad time or if for some reason you don't want to learn how to make cheese fries with gravy WITH YOUR MIND, I've learned a way that you can simply opt out - now.
( And so you can. But if you opt in? )
This has been Snackin with Sara, a practical demonstration of liminal and psychic skills! Ask me anything!

Jaunt -> Walkabout, psychic bridge 2
Mar. 24th, 2019 04:58 pm[Naoki's psychic bridge capacity is high enough that most of the jaunt's investigators could likely participate, if they want. Either way, toward the end of the week he reaches out to the other side of the split to see what's up.]
This is Naoki. We didn't end up in Newport - I'm not sure if we've been to this variation of England at all, but it definitely is one. Anafiel-san and Joscelin-san said it feels similar to their home world, but not exactly the same.
There's... I guess you could call it a succession proto-crisis brewing with the local royal family, but I'll be very surprised if things stay that simple. [They've had quiet jaunts before, so it's not out of the question, but those are the rarities.]
How are things over there?

I knew it was too peaceful to be true.
Everyone, this is Sara. I can portal to Liminal and make food. I can also help people deal with stuff on the ground here.
The lasers in Future World are now real. So are the robots. If there were more people here I was close friends with I'd show them a real robot too, but as it stands the laser tag pistols will have to do.
Please share and distribute survival tips here because oh, my god.

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?
What's this I hear about Tower falling?
Ah. Um. Lyall here, infiltrating as the biology professor here, but I'm also myself. If anyone has any questions about this place, as I am also a local, I can do my best to answer them. The biggest thing I suppose is that there's magic here, and the fae folk. Don't call them that, they get touchy.
Also, I need to ask, is anyone else having trouble opening a portal to liminal space? I, er, I can't seem to get in.
[If this were not text, it would be obvious just how alarmed and nervous he is by this.]
If anyone would be so kind as to stop by my classroom and see if I can use their portal, I would greatly appreciate 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. )

So Casper's dad is here now.
Who wants to kill him before he makes Casper miserable? [because seriously this guy needs to be dead like yesterday]

A pony by any other name...
Aug. 16th, 2018 09:07 pmHello! It's Ryo!
Was actually a pony the whole time last Jaunt! Not really a horse! Don't know why Hajime's infiltration couldn't tell difference!
[This is vital information he feels he needs to share with everyone.]

(no subject)
Jul. 1st, 2018 12:06 amWe've lost a lot of people lately who could either de-infiltrate people or bridge network divides, if not both. They're both useful things to have more of around, so if anyone wants pointers on either, I'm willing to help. This includes some of the building blocks, but not all.
[He wouldn't have taught Kanji the intrusive stuff, and that still stands.]
[PRIVATE to Helena's close CR, double-protected]
Guys, I... I think Helena-san's gone again. I can't find a sign of her anywhere, and she's not responding.

The highlight of his career as an Oracle
Jun. 30th, 2018 03:59 amSo, as I promised Sara I talked to a resident Liminal Horse, thanks to being an Oracle and all. Well.
[It's easier if he just shares a memory.]
Anyone have any clue what this was about? I mean, I could try talking to other horses, too, but I doubt I'd get anything useful from them.
And yes, that's me.

. . . . . Where are all the new Travelers? I mean it might be just me not noticing but has anyone seen anyone new now when Liminal changed? Shouldn't they be arriving now???
Oh, also it's my birthday around -- right now, I think it's around right now anyway. So who wants cake? I want cake, you should absolutely come eat amazing cakes with me!

...there's a reason the C.A.G. was in charge back home and not me, but please. Please tell me I'm not usually that completely stupid.
Bring back Cream on Cream or we riot
May. 1st, 2018 06:39 pm(All Travellers, new and old, hear a peppy tune as Sara starts the livestream in her industrial brushed steel kitchen. This time, though, Travellers can wave it off with a thought if they want or need to...)
Heeeey what's up guys, welcome to the new Liminal Space. I'm Sara Smith, and I'm here with a friend to teach you how Liminal Space and the network work through the magic of cooking. Thanks to Armin, I figured out how to make this opt-out, so if you have better things to do than learn how to make a perfect bowl of ramen from scratch - like, really from scratch - you can tune out now, and I'll be accepting questions from anyone about where this is and how to deal with it after!
( Still here? )

(A peppy - dare I say Jaunty - tune is sent into the heads of the newcomers and old guard alike...)
Heeeey what’s up guys, welcome to Liminal Space. The voice in your head courtesy of our psychic network is Sara Smith, and I figured what better way to welcome new and veteran Travellers alike this month of Easter and Passover with a bit of holiday cooking?
You can, of course, tune this out or listen in at any time - I’m making this private but unsecured, so it won’t bother you if you don’t want to see out of the eyes of a girl offering to teach you how to cook and explaining a bit of how we do things here. “But Sara,” you may ask, “how do you secure a psychic message?” That’s a great question, and if you ask, I’ll teach you! Until then welcome to Snackin’ with Sara.
(Yeah, about that. Making an opt-out is what she thinks she’s doing. What she’s actually doing is, uh, publically livestreaming. Whoops.)
( this is probably Gil’s fault )

Important questions and a Plan
Feb. 1st, 2018 02:46 pmSo, I have an idea for dealing with one of the Glatisants, and a question.
First, the plan. Found out helping Shinji - that’s Mech Pilot Shinji, not Has A Persona Shinji - that my ANIMa, at least in Questing Country, is still just as tall as it needs to be to fight monsters. So I’m going to the future to try and talk down that one, and failing that, wrestling with it on our terms.
Second, I warned the Fool about the whole time spiral thing that Me From Questing Country and Adult Probably Oracle-of-Anchors Me told Present Me to warn the Arcana about, and wow, I hate Time Shenanigans.
He thanked me and told me he’d also warn ROSE, Mei, SAGE, and Shekinah. I asked which ones quote “Rider and Waite” unquote would say those are and he grinned and was like “Who and what? Eh, you like questions, figure it out.” I know who SAGE is and precisely zero of the others, so... who would Rider and Waite say they are?
( Psi Protection I and privated from Kanji and Kohaku )
