Has anyone had any luck closing the Liminal portals? I don't have anything to go off of, other than guesswork, but it seems like cutting that off might be the best way to keep all of us from ending up dead in space. Although I suppose that would be one solution. But probably not the one we want.

So, uh, Rosalie's been telling me that she's heard of some weird random attacks on the supernatural community here and at least one murder of a vampire. And, like, I don't want to say this is a definitely, but...

It might be Hunters. We might have some Hunters on our hands here in Sarmatia.

Most of you guys should be... well, not safe but safer? Like, they're probably going to look to subvert you--that's how a pair of them wiped out all the vampires in my hometown except my sire about three years before I was born--they subverted a ghoul's brother and through him a couple actual ghouls who weren't fully bound yet--at least that's what my sire said--not that I guess it matters, but--

Well. They're after the real supernaturals, not their servants, so at worst most of you'll just be unexpected casualties, but still.

Stay safe and be careful, okay?

[Thorne's mental voice come in clear, early into the first night.]

Hey. I figured someone should do a check-in? I've been listening to people talk and we're in a place named Samartia. Dunno where that is besides Eastern Europe. I'll find a map later.

Anyway, we're in vampire and werewolf territory. They think you guys are something called corvigers? Uh, those are people who work for the supernaturals. We called them ghouls back home.

And there's this election thing going on. It's like their first time? I'm passing myself off as an elections observer. So's Melissa. If people want, they can pretend to be our human staff. Just let us know.

[It's a few hours after everyone's been dumped in to liminal space that Malik speaks up over the network and he is about as disgruntled as anyone without a special skill to get it across better can sound.]

For those of you who were not privy to the fiasco some of the rest of us created on ourselves, let me recap and give some advice that I pray to god you all listen to this time.

I am going to be blunt here; we, as Travellers, were compromised by a number of people in a variety of different ways with rather unfortunate repercussions. We are lucky this did not get us hunted down in the streets and captured. They know we do not stay dead, they know we have powers beyond that of average humans.

Whatever you lot did before? People remembered.

They hate us, are afraid of us, and people who are afraid of other people do unspeakable things to whomever they can get their hands on. Especially when we do things like help blow up their city and go on thievery sprees or are terrible at lying while gathering information from people.

The safest way to not get caught is to not draw attention to yourself to begin with.

This would have been difficult enough to deal with had other people not also gone and both knowingly and unknowingly spread information about us as individuals as well. They have names, they have information about us and what we can do.

By doing so people were put in direct personal danger as a result. Not some vague menace of the displeasure of those who dragged us here but actual physical danger of permanent injury. Difficult decisions had to be made in that instance and it was a small part luck and a degree of experience that kept it from turning in to a bloodbath.

If you are unfortunate enough to get caught do not compromise the Travellers. We have this network, there will be others who can help you get out as safely as possible. So long as I am myself, I am one of them.

We are a team despite an apparent inability to function cohesively, and we are only effective when we do not go gallivanting off on our own individual nonsense and drag others along for the ride.

nicotinized

[Toshi's mental voice sounds a little anxious - he's trying to hide it, but he has no idea when he is, just that finally there are other people around and some of them look familiar]

Hey, what did I miss? Is Souji still here?

[there's a pause, and then he sounds a little calmer, and a little embarrassed]

I got stuck in some weird patch of liminal space where time was all fucked up - watch didn't work right or anything.

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?

upcard

[Hope you're all enjoying your sudden, Liminal Space-filled existences, Travelers. Either way, there's suddenly going to be a very tentative, very timid psychic broadcast.]

Um... excuse me...

[For anyone who met Mai during the Jaunt, she's certainly entirely different now--but then again, that's why she's doing this in the first place, despite being terrified of bothering people in this way. So after a brief pause, she rallies her courage.]

...My name is Mai--um, for the people I didn't know, and I... I was really different in that Jaunt b-but... I just wanted to say that I'm really really sorry!

[There's no visual here--she doesn't have the capability--but even so, it's pretty obvious to anyone who knows her that she's bowing her head here in her shame and apology.]

I did some truly terrible things to everyone, and I...I was really-- [A pause.] Just... I'm very sorry. That's... that's all.

Oh-- um. Near-san... [...what does she even say to him? She's really not sure. After a moment, a really awkward pause, she manages a fumbled thought--] Can we...talk?

[For those who would rather go the action route, Mai is not hard to find; she's tucked against a penny slots machine, arms wrapped around her knees, chin resting on them and eyes downcast. Seems this Jaunt took quite a lot out of her as well, but then again, dying isn't fun for anyone.

There are people she knows she needs to find and check on, but... well, she needs just a moment longer.]

Everyone, I hope you guys are doing alright after that massive attack...hopefully we won't have to do one for awhile but knowing our luck, I don't count on it. I do however have some things I would like to either tell you and ask you at the same time.

The first thing: I found one of the Trumps. She's a blue haired program who is the biggest workaholic I have ever met and I've taken on at least three or four part time jobs back home. She's also looking for something as well...

For those who have been around the Cryptos or Green Team, has any of them mention a 'center' like a hub maybe? It's not much but it's all I got.

One more thing: be careful when speaking to the Trump. She can claim up to five of us. Not only that...

[Her voice tightens.]

These jaunts...what we do to help others...they're games to them. If 'round' means anything...there's a lot more things we stumbled on.

inexecution

Did anyone else notice the train seems to loop back on itself?

[That sudden psychic broadcast is brought to you with a great deal of excitement, because of course it is. For those new Travelers who didn't already get an introduction via Joscelin, welcome to the Psychic network! Confusion is to be expected. It's okay, Souji's got your back.]

And I saw some new faces while I was walking around, so, hello! This is probably confusing, but don't worry. You can ask pretty much anyone here for help, we're used to it by now. I'm Souji, by the way. [Well, one of them, anyway...] Don't worry. This is all perfectly normal. [...ish.]

wantedittobeagame

[Everyone might have heard... something trying to come through from Adachi yesterday morning after the party, but it was garbled and hard to hear, like he was talking through water. It's not until the next day that he actually manages to get something through.]

Man, it's hard to talk like this when you're hung over...

[He let out an embarrassed noise, before continuing.]

So, if you guys don't mind humoring me, gimme a sec to make sure I've got all this right:

Cultures and Humanities want to promote social law, and I'm guessing cultural acceptance so we all can work better together toward a brighter future.

Ecological Sciences wants to create some mutant plant to help restore the earth.

And the Tech group wants to build something that flies... I guess so it'd be easier to extend the school's reach.

[There's a pause.]

...am I the only one that thinks they shouldn't be fighting over who gets the big check?

wholeheaded

Oh, well this is... different.

[ the mental voice is light, American-accented, and at first hesitant but confidence builds as he goes on. ]

Hello new Travelers, and not-as-new ones I haven't met yet, looks like the Trumps have a new mission for us. If you can hear me, you're an Investigator and that means exactly what you'd think: we're gonna be putting our heads together to help solve some problem in this world. Thankfully that putting-our-heads-together bit's pretty easy because of this nifty telepathic thingy-- don't worry, no one can hear your thoughts if you don't want them to, but if you need help or find out stuff you think is important please share with the rest of the class.

[ it's funny because they're in a school, see. ]

You might have friends here, other Travelers, who don't remember you and think they've lived all their lives in this world. We call them Infiltrators and usually they're good sources of info, so try and blend in and stay close with them. That shouldn't be too hard since the folks here seem to have been expecting us, or a group like us and good Glinda can we please have every Jaunt start like this?

Ah... meanwhile let's try and coordinate and see who's still with us. My name's Ambrose, by the way, I'm that guy with the zipper on his head.

[ooc: Psychic network post for all your orientation needs. Remember that only investigators can use it, and feel free to threadjack around! ]

deconsecrate

[ Travelers, remember when you were recently informed about a terrifyingly organized group of dragons? And how this information was imparted in a manner grave, suitably solemn and noble and stuff?

...this probably won't be anything like that, just as a precaution. ]

Not to interrupt anyone's plans for the evening, but--

[ Hawke does not have any of them fancy image-sharing skills, so you're all just going to have to take his word on this. ]

I probably should let someone know there's herd of dragons on the move here, making a terrible mess of the tournament-grounds between Rivergard & Westgard. Bit bigger than the last ones, although not as many! Thank the Maker for small favors.

Does anyone know what you call a venery of dragons, by the way? I've always wondered*.

*[ no he hasn't ]

unabatedly

Back into the fray again, I suppose--

[Neria's voice echoes across the network, wry. She sighs.]

Welcome, new Travelers. I trust you can hear me. Wherever you are in Liminal Space, if you should require aid, you need only speak up or call out to the other Travelers around you. Though we're all strangers, I assure you that we're here to help.

[Which is your standard welcome, by all accounts. But she has a specific reason for requesting people's attentions this time.]

You might notice the portals that are leading out of Liminal Space. I would advise you be cautious until you've listened to what I have to say.

We are in the middle of an excursion into another world, something we do here very frequently. We have been tasked with aiding the realm of Dolorosa, a kingdom fraught with trouble. There is a missing queen and knights abound, with dragons and murderous barons. [She chuckles briefly.] I know it may sound fantastical and strange, but this is a reality you will be facing very shortly. I would caution you to ask your fellow Travelers, the other Veterans, about Dolorosa and how you can prepare, what you can expect, before moving on.

Rest assured, we will do all we can to help you.

I have but one request of all of you gathered here: should you find any herbs or anything of use, please collect them and bring them to me. I am one of the few here capable of healing injuries and my stock is low, a very dangerous thing considering what has transpired recently. [Her tone sounds almost bitter, colored with bemusement.] I would be highly grateful if you could bring me whatever you can. I cannot pay you, but it will certainly come in handy should you be injured along the way.

Oh, and do try to be inconspicuous. I've found that spouting inane babble about portals and other worlds tends to lead to trouble and a possible stay in a cell.

[Veteran Lock;]

We've spent a month in this place. What have we learned, and what's our next goal?

blackhand

Seems like the Trumps already want us back to work. [Oh, look, it's that one asshole everyone was probably warned about talking in your head. Congrats, Travelers, he'll make this quick.]

Those of you that are new, this is a Jaunt. We're here to investigate and fix something, so first thing's first- you need to blend in. If the people here get suspicious, we'll get blocked out of opportunities to find something, and sometimes they might even take our presence around here negatively.

[That's Garrett's way of saying "don't be an idiot and play your part or I'm going to call you a moron beyond this Jaunt." There's a sigh, but he continues.]

I'm not one for leading, someone else is going to have to take that job. Might want to sound off, just to see who all we have for this round.

Garrett, Investigator. Your turn.

unabatedly

Now that we've been released, let's speak on where we are and what is going on.

For those of you new to our numbers, this is a Jaunt. We are brought to a particular world and given a task. What that task is...none can say. But it will be more apparent in time, and then we can take action.

[A pause, almost a sigh.]

However, we have to focus on a few things first, such as food and shelter, and finding our way around the city. We'll need to begin our search as soon as possible. Has anyone found anything suitable for us to use in the meantime? We should gather there and regroup.

And if anyone has heard about what was going on in the alleyway when we arrived? Or about the card that was left behind?

[ooc: feel free to threadjack each other!]

protect_and_serve

Who: Everyone on the telepathic network (which is everyone)
When: Just after the new arrivals show up.
What: Joscelin attempting to get things organized.

[There’s a lot of chatter going on, literally making it hard to hear yourself think, between veterans gossipping and speculating what the new wave of Travelers means, and accidental broadcasts by panicked new arrivals, until one hard-edged thought cuts through it all.]

Enough.

You all need to stop this before we drive ourselves insane.

Anyone with experience on the Network, I want a few organized broadcasts offering help and information to newcomers. We don’t call them Fools.

If you’re new, stay calm. No-one can overhear you unless you’re projecting. Try to divide yourselves as evenly as you can between the people giving you answers. That much is instinctive, you won’t have trouble as long as you can imagine it.

Anyone who’s been here longer and wants to speculate? Don’t do it publicly. Find your own little corners, or keep it off the network.

New telepaths. You’ll need to find someone more experienced more than anyone else does.

And everyone be ready for a new Jaunt.
