[Chloe’s mental voice sounds weak and disoriented, as if she’s in shock]

Can someone come to the caves? I need help.

I think Hana’s dead.

chalicejoker

[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!

chalicejoker

This is Hajime. Ike's dead.

[And if he sounds a little agitated, well.]

I...I don't remember how it happened. Probably set on fire or decapitated, given my track record. Last thing I remember, he was going into that tower on Gods' Isle.

[It's a weak attempt at a joke.]

I'm in Liminal, if anyone's found Ike's boat on the island and took it back, I'll just come back to camp. If not, I'll portal back there and just sail back like...like nothing happened.

[This is the worst.]

chalicejoker

[Ryo pipes up on the network, sounding very tense.]

Hello! Can anyone be a lawyer for Hajime? Is important!

keepcalmcookon

[Exasperation. And anger at the stupidity he's about ready to mention:]

A group of idiots just managed to summon the Genius of the Entire Atlantic Ocean, whom promptly escaped their attempts to contain him and possessed their leader. The Crown Prince and the Princess were also both present--and the genius is amenable to not murdering everyone. Even deciding to bide his time to decide which one of them he may decide to support in their fight for the throne.

Even though he seems amenable enough, he can surround you with water and drown you where you stand, so don't try his considerable patience by being a prat.

Sayoko's here.

[Private to Lyall]

Can I ask you a favor?

chalicejoker

Hello! It's Ryo!

Was actually a pony the whole time last Jaunt! Not really a horse! Don't know why Hajime's infiltration couldn't tell difference!

[This is vital information he feels he needs to share with everyone.]

cloudpotter

[Apropos of nothing, towards the end of the return mingle...]

I'm in need of someone who wants to learn to become a ninja.

[This will surely end well.]

set_your_watches_for_fun

Where is Randolph?

[The general message is surprisingly clipped - Colonel Tick-Tock generally has rather plummy tones over the network, and occasionally sounds like he thinks he's in a dramatic radio production. This sounds terse, with just the barest edge of worry.]

chalicejoker

[There's a high, childlike voice on the Network. One who hasn't been on there before. He can hear everyone now! It's so great!]

Boo!

[Problem is, he can't talk to anyone.]

Boo!

Boo!

Boo!

triggerhappytraitor

Sayoko--

This world's Sayoko is here. Alive.

[[There might be a bit of a note of panic in his mental voice]]

She saw me. Recognized me...!

....and she's a Pillar.

[[Anyone who comes looking will find him in the garage, sitting on the couch with his head in his hands, Garren hovering worriedly at his side.]]

photonicfighter

Excuse me. If everyone who went to Santa Carlita has a moment?

[Dakki pauses briefly to give people a chance to pay attention. That's how this is done, right?]

I've followed up with Tachibana, and it turns out that he put a tracking device on something that belonged to me. It's gone now, but apparently, the agents are now on the lookout for interdimensional aliens, not just ones from other planets.

I should have been more cautious. I'm sorry. Could the other agents confirm if they've planted anything, too, before I go and get everyone shaking themselves down for bugs?

...and that said, now that we're all back to ourselves, I'm very curious... did the 'aliens' pose any actual threat? What was that all even about? I'm not impressed with a government whose first reaction to extraterrestrial life is to panic and try to lock it up. That can't be the entire story, can it?

triggerhappytraitor

Has anyone noticed a pattern of people in jaunt worlds? For example, versions of the same person showing up in worlds you have an overlay in.

And even in some that you don't.

neverfeltthatway

[As he has after every jaunt for nearly the past two years, Armin appears 'on screen' to announce the release list.]

I have the list of Travelers who've vanished over the course of the jaunt. Elphaba, Eliza, Liara, Xena, Gabrielle, Jotaro, and Persephone.

[He closes his eyes for a long moment, still and silent in respect for those departed - giving everyone a moment to hear and accept his words before moving on.]

I know there have been other conversations about it, but, I think, nothing comprehensive where everyone can hear - we should share what we found out from the Arcana during out conversations with them. We've learned more about them, our past, and our situation in the past couple months than in years before that, it can be hard for everyone to keep up.

chalicejoker

Look, being back in the Bando...it's not good for Matthew or for me. Not after the last Jaunt. Matthew thinks he can open a portal to the Walkabout, and if any of the missing people aren't hiding around somewhere else here, they'll be there.

So we're leaving. I won't wreck anything, he won't get recognized...it's for the best. Don't worry about us.

[There's a very short pause, and then...]

Shit. Shit! That didn't...

chalicejoker

Heads up--if you run into Teruo, Kinji's infiltration, some kind of yellow sea snake mermaid--be really damn careful. He's a menace.

Asshole goaded me into what I thought was a spar, but then he started singing, and it...

[Hajime's mental voice trails off in embarassment here before picking up again.]

Look, I'm not proud of it, but it's hard to get me to back down from a fight. And what he did, it...I just stopped fighting. Didn't even think to defend myself. He kept it up long enough to hit me with a cheap sucker punch.

[The irritation is just coming off his mental voice here.]

He also said several times that if I was a warrior, I should be sticking closer to the boat and protecting my school--I'm still not sure if that was a threat or not. I wouldn't put anything past him.

...and if you do end up talking to him and he mentions someone named Chalice, that's me--I'm not about to go by my real name in the same world as the Bando, even if I'm a fish this time around.

triggerhappytraitor

I can't find Kinji.

[[There are equal levels of worry and agitated discomfort in that single sentance]]

fruitknife

Quick question. They have us in two groups, and far as I can tell, one's smaller than the other - so who all on the smaller side can do food? I'm working on it but I don't have it down yet.

Maybe a better question, how the hell are we gonna distribute anything?

[Shinji's cranky - he can't find Minako or a way back to the nice warm bedroom Helena gave him - but if there's one thing he's been good at from an early age, it's using his crankiness to get shit done.]

chalicejoker

How the hell can you make it to adulthood without being able to cook anything? Or even caring what's in what you eat?

Someone else come teach this idiot about food before I deck him.

[Following this argument, Hajime can't take it anymore. Someone come prevent a fight, please.]
