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.

I'm not sure how much we "make our move" collectively. We're not particularly organized here, I'm afraid.

On the whole, pretend not to know a damn thing to anyone who isn't obviously a Traveler, who you can't contact over the network. The goal is to not give ourselves away and disrupt their lives here more than necessary.

Laying low is so not my thing. But I guess there's not much choice in the matter, huh?

At least here you won't have to hide being something not entirely human, or having odd powers. There are some Jaunt worlds we visit with no magic whatsoever, so we stand out rather more than usual. Here we might just blend in without trying too much. I could have passed myself off as a normal sort of werewolf, even if I wasn't doing this half-infiltrating thing.

Just don't go announcing we're from another world, and try not to react to anyone who doesn't look at all human, if you can see past their magic. They won't take it well if they know you can see their true selves.

[Did he mean to go all pep talk on her? Maybe, maybe not. But whatever his intention, his words hit their mark.]

Thanks, that helps. I didn't realize there were worlds we had to hide magic in. Guess that makes this one of the less shitty ones.

[Well, he meant to get teacher-y, but pep-talk is also good!]

Indeed. There are plenty of Jaunts we've been on where there was nothing out of the ordinary at all, and anything we did would cause quite a stir. Those aren't good sorts of places to be a werewolf. Though at least then no one assumes the big shaggy dog could actually be a person, I suppose.

Can I throw you another question or did I use up my quota for the day?

I'm a teacher. I don't have a limit to the number of questions I can be asked in a day.

[That may be a joke. He does add,]

Go ahead. I'll see how well I can answer whatever questions you have.
