[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.

If the last thing you remember was the Grid or the space after, you missed a Jaunt. [He sighs, clearly annoyed.] And 'fucked up' seems to have been the all-around theme- we failed, unless this was supposed to be a reward.
[You can never tell with the Trumps. ...At least Levi can't, anyway. Sick bastards.]
no subject
Just one? That's a little bit of a relief, I guess. It seemed like we cut things close on the Grid, too...
no subject
[That's not a challenge, you stupid fucks. Don't get any god damn ideas...]
I was Infiltrating so I don't know much other than what I saw. [Which isn't much, much to Levi's irritation...] ...Does 'Purgatory' mean anything to you?
[His understanding is that some of the others knew of it before being dumped there, the same way some had known about 'Valentine's Day' or the stupid ass tradition with the kissing plants...
Seems like a good place to start.]
no subject
It's... some sort of religious concept, right? I remember seeing it mentioned once or twice in training, but not enough to remember more now.
no subject
[...Nailed it.]
Anyone... Some asshole from one place stole something important from the other-- a weapon... I'm assuming we were meant to get it back where it belonged, but like I said, I'm guessing that didn't work out very well. Last I heard there no one even knew where the damn thing was, or who took it in the first place. Or why.
no subject
[a heavy sigh] Great. I know we got this shitty job forced on us, but we need to start being better at it.
no subject
Or they could stop stuffing our heads with useless personalities and give us the opportunity.
[He is still endlessly salty about that no matter how long he's been doing this... It just doesn't make any sense to him that they'd mold people who're motivated already and do...
That.]
It really is just a game to them.
no subject
That too. Whatever rules they're playing by, it's not making our lives any easier.
no subject
[It's not new, of course, but it's still aggravating.]
...Anyway. You said you were stuck somewhere. Were you alone?
no subject
Yeah. Just me and some shit that looked like some sort of modern art installation.
no subject
The kid's a lot of things... But 'modern art' and especially 'installation' he is not.]
Damn it.
no subject
Looking for someone too?
no subject
[So far he hasn't heard shit from anyone who's been stuck, but it can't hurt to ask, right?]
no subject
Yeah, I've been here as long as any of us can remember.
And I met him, though I haven't run into him in a while - sorry.
no subject
No one has, so that's not surprising. Who're you looking for?
no subject
Souji Okita - though it sounds like other people saw him last Jaunt, at least.
no subject
[Since they have like six and he isn't particularly close with any of them.
...He's never met another 'Levi'... That must be weird.]no subject
The long-haired one.
[how this became the most common name around, Toshi has no idea]
no subject
I think I've talked with him before. If I see him around...
[PSYCHIC NETWORK: SO HELPFUL.]
no subject
Yeah, give a shout.
no subject
[Look, he's covering his (hopeless) bases, aight? Don't judge him.]
