[Jaunt -> Walkabout]

[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!)

Yes, I am here... [Forgive him for being a bit wary. He's been having a trying day.] I believe we are back in the world of January. On an isolated island called Sunday, which is full of extremely religious-minded elves... who seem to believe that we are gods. And Zed is infiltrating, sort of, as the high priest of this religion. [Strain? What strain? Why would he be strained?]

...oh dear.

I think if this ends with the island not on fire you can call it a win.

I admit, I am quite at a loss for what they expect us to do. There is no method of advancement which does not involve blasphemy one way or another, and while these people have an extremely harsh view of the world and their gods' expectations of them, who are we to tell them that they are wrong? We have no notion of whether or not these Goodly Ones exist in this world, after all.

And while you do have an inside man...

Mm. Precisely. [Sigh.] I can only be glad that no one has asked me directly if I am one yet. ...I truly do not know what I would tell them.

Good luck. I think you're all going to need it.

Oh thank fuck. Also wow, that's a whole lot of bullshit going on there. I'm sorry.

Thorne! Ah Blessed Elua. You're all right? Are you and Charoite managing?

Yes. Sort of. I'm not her anymore. I mean, I started out half-infiltrating, like I did in Harrogate, but I, uh... okay. Remember what you told me about what Empress did to the Skittles, I mean, the Illuminants? After they invaded Liminal Space.

I kind of did that. But to me and Charoite. The older one. There's two of them.

. . . . [soft and tired] Oh dear Shemhazai and Cassiel preserve us. Well. You do have a puzzle before you.

Yeah. Uh. I might have accidentally blew the secret of Infiltration that way and I'm so sorry. I really, really am.

But. Um. Yeah. That's a thing. That is a thing that I did. And I think I could do it again, but maybe not more than once per Jaunt because holy shit that took a lot out of me. I have no fucking clue how Empress did it eight times in a row.

Alcuin! I am glad that this got through to you!

[He might have made several circuits of the meadow trying to see if he'd overlooked you Infiltrating in the crowd.]

Anafiel! [Blatant relief, and he's not even attempting to hide it right now.] Are you all right? Thorne is there... Lady Helena too? Have you a Spirit Companion to help you?

Yes, I am quite all right and very much relieved that you are all right. [Well, as all right as anyone might be in those circumstances.] And yes, Helena is here and looking quite well in the new gown that Questing Country has granted to her. As for myself, it seems to be quite insistent I be in a hooded robe. I have met a vixen who tells me that her name is Fidélité. She says that I am the Oracle of Oaths.

[There's a slight pause before he adds,] And for some reason that I do not understand, it has taken twenty years of age from me.

[Short, surprised silence.]

Ah. Oh, yes, I expect that would be a dream form, of sorts. Your body shifts to how you believe it would be best suited for the task of protecting the world of dreams. It is how Naoto changes forms, as I understand it.

...Will you kindly look after Félicité for me? She is not here with me, which means she must be in liminal space, and she must be furious with me for missing my chance to return to her home with her. She has access to the Network now, so she ought to be able to speak with you despite being my Familiar.

In that case, I can see how I might wish to be younger and stronger. [It is only too bad that Alcuin cannot see him like this.]

And yes, of course, I will look after Félicité for you. Fidélité and I will start looking for her as soon as Konishi ends this bridged communication.

... I do not know yet what advice to give you on your dilemma on Sunday Island, but I will think upon it and I am sure Konishi will help us reach you again come next week.

... of course Zed would be something important.

Hang in there, Alcuin. If things get too uncomfortable, can you retreat to Liminal?

Hello Jean - it is good to hear your voice. Unfortunately I do not have the ability to create portals, so I am quite firmly stuck unless someone else is able to reach liminal space. But I will survive. [His soul may not be in tact, but he'll live through this somehow.]

It's good to hear you as well. Anastasia sends her regards as well.

I believe in you. You'll pull through this... and we'll see each other again in Liminal once our journeys end.

[Brief, startled pause.]

....Thank you, Jean. I look forward to telling you as many ridiculous tales as possible when we see one another next. Give my regards to Anastasia and tell her that I may take her up on that flight she offered, if she is still amenable.

I'm sure we'll have a lot of strange stories to tell as well.

Anastasia would love to take you flying whenever you so wish. She's waited for you to ask, since I told her how much you loved flying with me.

...Ah, man. Wanted to bug you about somethin' a bit personal, but ... with all that going on... I mean. High Priest Zed. Seriously?

But ... if you've got a second before we lose the line?

He knows himself, too, so there is an added question of self control. It will be an interesting Jaunt, that much is certain.

But yes. Please. How can I help, Kanji?

[Please distract him.]

No kidding...

[Distractions he can do!]

Right. Uh, so. It's stuff from the whole Gehenna mess. Ain't got time for a long explanation, so...

[He privately projects an image of himself over, hoping that even with the oddnesses of the network in play the crystal and organic elements will be clear enough to 'see'...]

Dream stuff, so I dunno what applies, but what can ya remember of Alsion's medical bits?

...Oo. I can remember all of his medical training, which also deals in large part with his own health concerns. Which... hm. Yes, may come in useful here. I wish I could examine you more personally, but...

Combining Hecatite traits with another species gets tricky. They do not run on a structure quite so similar to our own - that is, to those of us with internal organs and circulatory structures. Do you have many large crystals, or are they mostly small and scattered?
