leftbehindagainWe've lost a lot of people lately who could either de-infiltrate people or bridge network divides, if not both. They're both useful things to have more of around, so if anyone wants pointers on either, I'm willing to help. This includes some of the building blocks, but not all.

He's not by the sparkling fire-wand. I thought for sure he'd be there. Could he be somewhere else...?

[Jaunt] Apologies for the comm-spamming
May. 29th, 2018 09:02 pmyouandyoualoneThis is Anafiel Delaunay, lately of the Walkabout. I was told of the plague of Trojans here by Naoki and so I have come to lend my aid in whatever way I might. I have also brought Sakuya Tachibana, a healer of no mean skill, in hopes that he might be able to treat the computer disease.
If anyone can tell us how we might help, please do. I am not a healer myself, but I have spent some time as a soldier in my youth. I am willing to follow instruction.

[Jaunt] A Very ROSE-y Livestream
May. 26th, 2018 10:09 pmphotonicfighterI... I think there are people that need to see this.
[Having said that, there's a livestream of a message being played atop a decrypted disc, featuring someone that is no doubt very familiar to some travelers. The stream cuts off once the message finishes.]
I know that our actions have consequences in the worlds we visit, but... this makes it a little more explicit than usual, doesn't it?
...what do we consider our "parameters" to be for this jaunt, anyway?

Heeeey what's up guys, welcome to the new Liminal Space. I'm Sara Smith, and I'm here with a friend to teach you how Liminal Space and the network work through the magic of cooking. Thanks to Armin, I figured out how to make this opt-out, so if you have better things to do than learn how to make a perfect bowl of ramen from scratch - like, really from scratch - you can tune out now, and I'll be accepting questions from anyone about where this is and how to deal with it after!
( Still here? )

Apr. 22nd, 2018 07:56 pmwhydoyoushineOi, I need someone to get me out of a room. I didn't do anything this time, and here you go, locking me up for absolutely no reason. This is a violation of my civil rights.
[Zed is referring to the end results of a certain throw down with Matthew, which did not go the way he'd anticipated. But hey, at least he's proven he's learned something from Traveling, like the phrase "civil rights."]
You really want to fight over this, Matthew? Just get it all out there?

finalizesCan someone teach me how to do the magic here?
I signed up to run as a Champion for Teikoku, and if they choose me people will probably notice if I do something else.
And even if I don't get it, it's the last week and there's no wedding scheduled, so, like Casper says, something is probably going to happen. And I want to be able do to something about it in front of people if it does. [Not because he likes being in front of people, but because he would like to not be helpless-or-discovery.]
[ooc: I'm specifically looking for singing-based performance magic, so if someone wants to teach him singing I'm down with that, too! Open to infiltrators and investigators mingle companion!]

bigbookofdThis is Ringabel, and I seem to be quite myself. Who else is in possession of their true memories?
I've found myself outside of the curtain wall of a castle on a floating isle. I smell brimstone and saltpeter, and there's a fleet of airships here coming from the direction of the rising sun.
Yet we're among cheering and laughing children barely old enough to lift a sword, and the mood is jovial. What have we stepped into this time?
I'd like to know what I can so as to avoid drawing undue attention to myself. Fortunately, a Black Mage's robes seem to be in fashionable style here, so my first mistake was not fatal.

[Closed to Close CR]
Mar. 7th, 2018 10:33 pmrustyhonestySo some of you may have noticed I've been pretty absent since returning from Questing Country. Both me and Mikasa have been for the matter. Well, the thing is, stuff happened and now we're a couple now.
When Liminal changed, we both saw memories of home. Same memories Eren had received from his dungeon and more. Somehow some memories had been locked away. So we know what the future holds for us back home.
You could say my heart... finally found a way home.
Korra and I are still close friends. Just not a couple anymore. Not much will change between us.
I did have something else to say other than announcing this to my closest friends. I'm thinking about holding a belated birthday party for Mikasa with a small group of friends. Likely very soon since there's no telling when the Jaunt begins. And yes, I'm completely aware you can hear this, Mikasa.
Everyone should also meet the newest addition to our group. [Jean shows a neapolitan tiger cub on the livestream.] Her name is Sakura and she's the most adorable tiger cub you'll ever meet.
(ooc: Close CR at this point includes Mikasa (obviously), Eren, Armin, Korra, Usagi, Naoto, Naoki, Rise, Shiro, Alcuin, Helena, Feliciano, Dakki, Lyall, Tal... and I might be forgetting people, so just ask if you think you should be included.)

truerevelationAlright.
So ... I ain't gotta tell anyone where we are this time, and from the stuff people were sayin' on the network, returning here ain't the biggest surprise anyone's ever had. Even if we did get the red carpet bit... Yeah, this is Questing Country - magical kinda Liminal Space dreamland. The Oracles over at the table are the best guys to ask about what this place is.
But I figure we still need to work out who is and isn't actually us. Except, uh. Wash.
[That was psychic shouting and his ears are still ringing from it somehow, OK.]
So this is Kanji checking in. Give us a yell if you're hearing this? How you're doing, all that stuff. Or if you've got powers up and goin' here... anyone else been species switched, too?
...But, uh. If you see a guy who looks like my plain Hecatite form, that ain't me. That's my old overlay, and I think he wanted his powers back or something. Hell if I know what mine are right now.

thornsofmalkav[Once again, Liminal Space is being subject to a livestream of Thorne making important announcements! This time, she’s in a library study room, with books and papers of her and a Malik-created map-in-progress hung up behind her--and the map in question seems to be to an unusual location indeed.
She is wearing a black pith helmet with a pink band.]
Hi! Thorne here, with Alcuin playing cameraman as usual. Once again, I’ve got some important discoveries to share with people, but in this case these discoveries were made by a group of us. In fact, I pretty much spent the entire expedition we went on recording everyone else’s data. But before I talk about what we found out, I should probably explain about the expedition.
( ABOUT THAT EXPEDITION... )

hatefuldaysThis is *Hyun-ae again! Sorry I wasn't really able to contribute anything to the Jaunt, but it sounds like things turned out pretty well.
So, I was thinking about how all of us were apparently taken from various worlds or alternate universes, and was wondering: Do we have any sort of compiled list of what worlds we've discovered? Liminal Space and Jaunts are both crazy, but there's a whole extra layer of this experience where we're basically all getting a chance to discover dozens of other worlds and universes through each other! We can't see them directly, but there's still got to be plenty of interesting stuff we can learn just by talking about where we're from and how those places differ or how they're the same.
I was going to follow that up with "so let's assemble a list of all those worlds and what we know about them", but the more I think about it, the harder it seems like it's going to be to even figure out where to start. Like, for example, I know we've got a lot of people from "Earth" or some variant of it, so how can we tell which ones are parallel Earths and which ones are the same planet? It gets even hairier when you factor in that there's different periods of time represented, so saying "this person and that person are from the same Earth/different Earths" is practically impossible most of the time.
So as a compromise, if any part of this sounds useful, interesting, or cool, tell us a bit about where you're from! It's not like there's too much for us to be doing while we're stuck in Liminal Space, so why not? I don't have a specific format in mind, but maybe some basics like...
* Homeworld name
* Other people you know are from the same world as you (to keep this organized)
* Local year when you left
* Whether or not you know what Disney is (this seems to be some kind of divide, at least for Earths)
I'll go first! I'm from the Mugunghwa, which is a generation ship sent from Earth to another planet where it was going to start a new colony. The trip was on the order of thousands of years long, so in between, the ship was basically its own isolated society. My situation's a little complicated timeline-wise, but it was 4989 AD when I was warped here, which might or might not be why I've never heard of Disney before. Magic and monsters don't exist (as far as I know), but it seems like our tech was pretty advanced compared to most people I've talked to - space travel tech has gotten pretty advanced by the 60th century, and human-comparable AI is a thing.
...If I'm going to talk about the ship for culture exchange purposes, I guess I should probably talk at least a little about what happened in the later years of the ship's society... So, I spent a very long time in cryostasis and accordingly don't have a firsthand account of what happened, but a few millenia after the ship's voyage began, there was a coup and a family managed to instate themselves as a new royal family. They blamed a bunch of things they did on rebels as an excuse to take more power for themselves, and pushed society back to Joseon Dynasty ideals - stability, strength of family lines, male superiority. A couple hundred years down the road, you end up in a world where scientific research is dead in the water and women aren't allowed to learn how to read.
...Eesh, sorry to end that on a dark note. But, well, that's how it was, and why I'm so glad to be here now. There's probably some kind of fancy moral you could come up with to summarize the whole incident, but I'm honestly not far enough away from it to look at it objectively and come up with one, so I guess I'll leave that to you.
[ Private to Malin ]
Status report! It took a while, but I managed to get the hang of making portals! A couple other things, too - I experimented a bit, and I can psychically change outfits and stuff. It's still so wild that this is just something I can do by thinking about it.
Thanks for all your training~

But this level of shouting is unusual, right? Please tell me it is.
