Portal Malfunction [Jauntside, shortly after Jaunt start]
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.

[It's not a good quiet.]
[Then, he locks the conversation.]
... Phillip's overlay already dragged me into a deal. Just an information exchange, and I think I got away with giving him as little as possible, but...
It was that or make one of Them very angry, because I fucked up.
[Private]
You peeked, didn't you. That's like, rule number one, don't fucking Look. Not even just for the Gentry, for like a billion other stories too.
Just be careful from now on, dude, alright? If you had to give him information that's not you getting off lightly.
[Private]
... Well, I bargained him down - actually fuck, I don't even know if his overlay is a 'him', I can't tell.
Anyway I made some conditions of my own, and also was holding the script for ransom, so it could have been worse. It... can always be worse.
I got a ring off of it, though. It's... weird. And I think his overlay wants me in the play, which. Probably won't end well...

[There's a few moments of silence as Gil breathes deeply, rubbing his face with both hands.]
Don't-- don't fucking do the play, man. You know that shit won't end well.
[Private]
... Yeah, I'm going to do my best to wiggle out of it. I never said explicitly that I would try out. He's trying out for Puck and is likely to get it, unless there's another one like him trying for it. And I have zero interest in getting involved with that.
[Private]
Sorry. I'm just. Stressed out.
