[Naoki's psychic bridge capacity is high enough that most of the jaunt's investigators could likely participate, if they want. Either way, toward the end of the week he reaches out to the other side of the split to see what's up.]

This is Naoki. We didn't end up in Newport - I'm not sure if we've been to this variation of England at all, but it definitely is one. Anafiel-san and Joscelin-san said it feels similar to their home world, but not exactly the same.

There's... I guess you could call it a succession proto-crisis brewing with the local royal family, but I'll be very surprised if things stay that simple. [They've had quiet jaunts before, so it's not out of the question, but those are the rarities.]

How are things over there?

awondrousplace

Alright, everyone! I know Joscelyn is warning people of our location, but we do rather need to know who we have, not just where we are.

So, in the spirit of... oh, what's the phrase, getting our waterfowl in a queue?

Please let us all know who's here, and if you're sharing a mind with an overlay! Also, if anyone needs help with a cover story of sorts, I am always available for creative writing.

[Helena, plz.]

In case there are those who don't know me, I am Helena Wells, and my story is that I was cursed to eternal life for being just a bit too clever with researching time travel. It's... close enough to the truth that it will do in a pinch.

I'm looking to expand on the resources we have available - well, more establish one and expand on the other.

The new one first: Allura-san brought up how often we've been to space, and I had the beginnings of a list trying to narrow down possible connections between jaunt worlds. I know some of the conntections are obvious - space and Questing Country, Bando and the mermaids - but if anyone's thought much about which Earths might be the same or different, that would help some too.

As for the older resource, it occurs to me that with Fortune back in play, my attempt at information on the Arcana needs updating. Does anyone have any insight into what she's up to? There's a few other holes I never managed to fill in, mostly whether Hierophant had an alias and what a few of them have in mind to do if they win, but Fortune is the biggest question mark at the moment.

Once I've got things updated I'll leave copies in the library, and on the intranet if I can get a hold of a computer for a while. The Arcana list is already on the network, and the other one will be joining it.

It's possible to swap the effect of a liminal skill and a psychic one.

It's possible to swap liminal and psychic skills used by someone else.

It's possible to swap liminal a psychic skills right away and then use another skill.

It's possible to swap liminal and psychic skills while being Rose.

So, how many of you have been in space before? Here while travelling or back home, or both, anything counts.

I mean I can start! I'm originally a princess from the Moon where we watched over the Earth and then I've been to space and Moon in this life too after my magical girl things begun... Ummm, I flew across space to find my loved ones not very long before I was suddenly here, so I was in space right before arriving here too but that feels kind of really long ago now...

How are you doing? Ooooor if you don't want to talk about that, let's talk about anything, really, okay?

[Shinji takes to the network just before the security protocols snap into place; there's just enough time for him to sound supremely annoyed.]

Why the hell am I purple.

[Point of fact, he's not actually purple, but rather a shade of maroon that would match his coat quite nicely. But since he's not livestreaming himself, someone would have to see him in person to point that out.]

peaceintheworld

Er.... hello? Excuse me? I'm not entirely sure how to go about this. I hope I'm doing it properly!

Is there anyone that would be able to help me to make a dress? Nothing too complicated! But, ah, I've only just gotten here and I'm not sure how to make things, yet.

dino_zarf

Could someone watch Rose for a bit? For... reasons?

[Does he really need to explain? Anyone who noticed Zoe's back can probably guess.]

We'd really appreciate it.

[Someone who definitely doesn't know why he's making this post is opting to add little firework images throughout. Hardly the most nefarious application of psychic interference, at least.]

truerevelation

Ohmypogwe'rehome! We're home! What are we doing... we're not supposed to-

Piyo - hey, hey, buddy. Chill out.

But this is- it's- I heard it all started with humans showing up in flashy lights and things on the mountain and, and... but...

I've got ya. Just breathe, okay? And... uh. Right. You guys heard that...

...cheep.

[There's a pause on the network channel that'd been full of twittering.]

Um. I just. I wanted to - this is so weird! But. I. I think I know where we are. Or... mm, when we are. What's going on. I wasn't hatched when humans first arrived in this world, but I was told about it? And... it happened a bit. Uh. Like this.

I think this is history.

starshaper

CLEARLY THIS ISN'T MY PRECIOUS MAAAAAAAAAAARS!!! [Hello everyone, sorry for the sudden yelling inside your head and in person too if you happen to be near enough to hear that. Sorry this whole message is pretty loud and all, who lets Usagi do these things...]

Huh? I -- We were supposed to go there, no?! I mean, sure, I get that this is the walkabout and whatever and that most of us went to space instead of... this...

Where are we anyway!??!! Any ideas what we're supposed to do here??!? Any ideas what even happened before we got here because wow that sure was a wild way to begin, what are they even doing... Is everyone okay??

Ah, Mamo-chan is not-himself again like sure he's investigating but that's more form changes to him and oh my gosh he's the most amazing adorable and cutest Alpacorn ever!!! ...I'm still me and hello, my name's Usagi Tsukino!! You know that girl with bun twintails from Liminal space.

Who else is here with us?

But I really wanted to go to Mars to help Rei-chan's home planet...

pearlyspirit

I-is there really a blanket around the earth that eats energy???

[........Pearl may have gotten slightly confused by information she got on walkabout.]

reincarnatedprince

So what exactly happened with the electronics here? Did one of us activate a skill or something?

One of the natives is looking for help to fix things. Pertti, I think he was called. It would probably be good to help him out with this task so he doesn't need to spend too much time away from his daughters.

notadisappointment

... so I guess some of us didn't go to the Grid after all. Instead we're stuck in how many meters of snow? Well, I'm not complaining too much.

Apparently, we're in a country called Finland and it's the year 2006. They've just won... the Eurovision? Whatever that is? And we're at a pretty famous ski resort! I wonder if we were just awarded a vacation or if there's something else going on... well, I'm at least gonna do a lot of winter sports while here.

If anyone needs help with how to snowboard, I'm your man!

So who all do we have here? I'm Yosuke if someone doesn't know.

bigbookofd

This 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.

Okay, so. For a variety of reasons, including that me and Matthew have some rad new theories about the way that liminal space and the network actually work--as well the theoretical basis for a bitchin new skill category--I would like to invite everyone to a Salon. A Psychic-And-Liminal Salon.

But when I say Salon, I don't mind the kind you go to in order to get your hair done. I mean it in the old-fashioned sense, as a sort of intellectual party where everyone meets up to have snacks and swap theories and demonstrate cool shit they've found. It's something I've actually tried doing before in small groups? And both times went pretty well, so I think after the alpha and beta test Salons, I'm totally ready to make this an open thing.

Anyway, I'd host it in a created room and, like, make sure there's plenty of food and everyone could come over and swap ideas and new tricks--and any interesting information that people might have found out from these weird visions we've been getting these last couple liminal spaces.

I think what Yosuke said a few days ago, how since we've had past and sort-of-present visions in this liminal space that we're probably due for some future ones soon, is probably right. And because of that--and also because some of those past visions might have shown us pre-Moebius shit--I think it's definitely a good idea if people talk about things they've learned from them at the Salon.

Because of that, I don't want to hold it until at least after liminal space turns? Because then we could get some future visions in, like I said. But on the other hand, I'm not entirely sure if they'll dump us right into a Jaunt after we get to the Liminal Space Yet To Come, so I dunno if we can wait it out for the Salon? On the other hand, we do usually get a warning liminal before Jaunts where they hint at shit and give the noobs some time to flail around, so it might be better to bet on that happening and do the Salon then?

What do you guys think? Do it in the theoretical next liminal or bet we'll have a hint-filled one full of newbies after that and hold it then?

This 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~

naturaltwohands

[Drizzt's flat annoyance filters through slightly despite his attempts to contain it.]

You must be joking.

[He lets out the equivalent of a sigh.]

How does one return to their true form after they have "received" one from the previous Jaunt?

bite_the_hand

[Eren had been absent for the entire Jaunt so far. Well, not exactly absent, but being stuck as one of the petrified Stonefolk is effectively the same. If anyone had gone to see him in statue form his expression was mostly stubborn and angry but had been clearly changing to a look of "oh shit I messed up" when he was frozen. It's not even known whether he was Infiltrating or if he just set a Jules-level record for how quickly terrible life choices were made on a Jaunt.]

[Now, only a couple of days before the ceremony is due to take place, that particular mystery is finally solved as Eren begins to speak on the Network. His mental voice is still a bit tired, and perhaps also slightly pained - although it's likely only those close to him can fully pick up on the latter.]

This is Eren Jaeger. I'm currently stuck as some kind of lizard person again. The native lizard people - uh, Stonefolk? They said sunlight turned me into a rock. So how long have I been a statue?

Oh, and is it safe to use my real name or do I need to go by something else here? Right now they think I have amnesia, but I don't know how long I can fake that.

[He pauses for a few seconds, waiting for a certain response that never comes. When he speaks again Eren sounds sad and disappointed.]

Mikasa's Infiltrating, isn't she?

Sara here with some stuff you should know about being a small fuzzy animal.

First off, humans here hunt and trap animals. Not to be jerks or anything, just for the reasons that humans anywhere do - for food or for fur and leather. But they probably think the Forest Folk are just from stories and don't know the difference, and the locals want to keep it that way for some reason (which might be why we're here), so be vewy vewy qwiet when wandering around the woods.

This goes for Humanvestigators as well as Furvestigators. The pastel fuzzy guys will probably panic if they see you and they aren't one of us.

Second, I ran into Probably Gil. He's a honey badger, he don't give a damn, his name is Gilligan Reed here, and he made it his personal mission to find new fuzzy friends and warn them everything I've just said in a Royal We about the Forestfolk. I don't know if he's in charge but he's important.

Third, Forestfolk are starting to go dumb and stupid. Feral's the word they use. Probably real high on the list of stuff we have to fix. It's a handy excuse for not having parents, among other things.

Last off, Forestfolk names are usually just normal ones or oldtimey ones plus dumb puns, and what kind of animal you are for a last name. So I'm introducing myself as Sara Shetland.

Thanks for your time.
