[Check-In] Your Enthusiasm is Appreciated

[It isn't too long into the Jaunt before Ryo's excited voice comes through on the network.]

BEST JAUNT EVER!

[And Hajime's far more exhausted mental voice comes in afterwards.]

This is Hajime, we, ah, did that thing where we're both infiltrating and not infiltrating, and there's some kind of space base out here with a lot of aliens bent on conquering Earth to take care of some bioweapon? I just...don't really know what's going on beyond that.

[Ryo cuts in again.]

And we're mantises! Mantis people are normal here! Not many of them, but enough to be normal! IS AMAZING!

Pretend this is before Ignis's because LOL

This is Drizzt Do'Urden, and I'm finally in space!

[P R I O R I T I E S.]

Okay, but where in space are you?

[personal profile] naturaltwohands 2019-09-23 01:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I see the Earth below. The tower I am on--I believe it's a tower--seems to go on forever, all the way to the ground far below, somehow. I didn't even know one could make a tower that tall.

[...a Jaunt with a tower, he's got his mantis claws crossed he doesn't end up on fire and thrown from it this time. Hajime makes a mental note to stay the hell away from the tower if he can help it.]

You're definitely not on our side of things, then--we're nowhere near Earth. I guess the technology there has come a long way.

[personal profile] naturaltwohands 2019-09-25 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yes, that would be very preferable. No mantises on fire, please.]

A 'future' Jaunt where humans have escaped to space and colonized other worlds. Are you on another planet?

[personal profile] chalicejoker 2019-09-28 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
We're on a space base that's been set up so we can try to conquer Earth, that sort of thing.
naturaltwohands: (teen smirk)

[personal profile] naturaltwohands 2019-09-28 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, it seems like we may be mortal enemies, then.
chalicejoker: (Mantis1)

[personal profile] chalicejoker 2019-09-29 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Looks that way. We'll try not to shoot you.
naturaltwohands: (teen slight smile)

[personal profile] naturaltwohands 2019-09-30 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
And I the same for you. Perhaps we could just sabotage the entire war.

So long as nothing implicates my overlay and his son in anything that would give them trouble--I'm feeling kind of protective here.
naturaltwohands: (teen serious talk)

[personal profile] naturaltwohands 2019-10-09 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
As you should--children should be protected.

I'm on Mars and I don't like it.
naturaltwohands: (teen slight smile)

[personal profile] naturaltwohands 2019-09-23 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
We should come up with a way to sneak you over here, then.
helborn: (you're kind of cute)

[personal profile] helborn 2019-09-23 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm working for Yakumo's overlay now, so I don't have much freedom of movement.
naturaltwohands: (teen serious talk)

[personal profile] naturaltwohands 2019-09-23 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, that makes things far more difficult. It's not easy to fake your identity here....
helborn: (Default)

[personal profile] helborn 2019-09-24 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
No... I might talk to the more tech-inclined people to see if they can lay a paper trail for me.
naturaltwohands: (teen slight smile)

[personal profile] naturaltwohands 2019-09-25 02:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Someone should be able to do so. I'd rather like to have you with me.
how_they_shine: (Default)

I'm just going to assume that he didn't hear any of the earlier conversations

[personal profile] how_they_shine 2019-09-26 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Shiro is not laughing - he sounds genuinely thrilled, if in a much calmer way than Drizzt.]

It's pretty neat, huh? Are you on a ship out there, or on a base?
naturaltwohands: (teen smile)

Hahahahha yeah or else this convo won't happen

[personal profile] naturaltwohands 2019-09-28 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
On a base, I believe. It's quite exciting! I've never seen stars so bright... or seen how worlds are shaped so clearly
how_they_shine: (Poster boy)

[personal profile] how_they_shine 2019-10-08 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Next time we're in liminal space at the same time, come find me and I'll take you on a tour of some different solar systems! It's even more amazing when you can travel through it and see different angles. Saturn backlit is stunning with all the rings lit up and the shadows sharp.
naturaltwohands: (teen smiling wide)

[personal profile] naturaltwohands 2019-10-09 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[A small burst of excitement before Drizzt controls it.]

You must entirely understand that I will call upon you immediately after we return to Liminal, yes?

[He needs to see!]
how_they_shine: (Default)

[personal profile] how_they_shine 2019-10-09 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha! I wouldn't have suggested it if it wasn't all right, don't worry. Honestly, you're doing me a favor - it's an excuse to go do my favorite things: flying and sharing my favorite things in the universe. If you don't wind up picking up some flight skills here, I can give you a few lessons, if you want.
naturaltwohands: (teen slight smile)

[personal profile] naturaltwohands 2019-10-13 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
And who would I be to deny you an excuse? [Drizzt liked you for a reason, Shiro.] If they will let me touch the controls--but if not, I'd enjoy you teaching me, I would think. It's likely easier than steering a ship of old.
how_they_shine: (Curious)

[personal profile] how_they_shine 2019-10-19 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
A ship of...? Oh, you mean a sailing ship? On the ocean? Well I'm not sure how they compare - that's not something I've learned - but I think it might have a few more components to it. You're operating on a three-dimensional scale rather than a two-dimensional plane. But it's a lot faster to respond and there are a lot of pieces of the displays to help you figure out what to do.

Let's plan on that, then, when this Jaunt is over! I'll set something up and if I don't reach out to you within 24 hours, you poke me about it, all right? Getting back can be a little hectic.
