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.

[... time to check a thing.

And then another thing.

Fuck.]


Jesus fucking Christ, they put the damn thing in Safety Mode again, didn't they? Damnit.

Yeah, I can't get in either. It's definitely a half-infiltrating thing. A lot of our liminally created stuff is gonna be inaccessible too, but if it's like Harrogate we'll get it back after the Jaunt.

[It's probably a very good thing it's text right now, because no one else has to feel the massive flood of panic from Gil.]

Fuck-- Shit.. That's what that... fucking hell.

...Don't use your real names. Come up with nicknames. For the rest of the Jaunt, as far as you know, I'm Valerie Halle. If anyone asks for your name, be sure to say "People call me blah" and use the nickname.

Polite names they accept are The Fair Ones or the Good Neighbors or the Shining Host.

Those quirky freshthing traditions aren't. They're for your own safety. Leave out yogurt for the Neighbors. Salt around the doors, iron in your pockets.

Never make a deal or even promise to do something unless you know for sure what your getting into, and write it down if you can.

...my "roommate" is super freaking out that I knew her real name on account of it being my real name, so. Let's not spread our true names around, OK?

- "Val Halle"

Which court? They can all be dangerous, but knowing who we're dealing with could be useful.

[Or at least give her an idea of how much damage control she might need to do.]

Sounds like they're aware of the Fair Folk enough to take some sort of precautions.

But not enough to not get involved. Which shouldn't surprise us.

Coming, darling. Where is your class, exactly?

Also myself and a little lost on what the heck is going on. All of us are like, infiltrating, right?
