[This is the first time Yosuke's done this, but since he has quite a few skills he can bring up to seven people with him... which is most likely more than they have investigators on Walkabout side.]

Here on Walkabout radio, this is Yosuke, do I reach the jaunt side? If so, hi. We're currently talking animals and I'm a shrew. There's a whole community of talking animals in clothing over here and I think the familiar face guys who were royalty in Newport are now Badger lords.

We don't have too many over here, so the investigators on this side should be able to talk to you back. How are things over there?

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.

[On the day of everyone's return, not right away but still with the day, Jean addresses the network. Well, it's him and Mikasa both there, actually. The convenience of mirrors and sensory livestreaming.

Jean also seems to have grown some facial hair that he hasn't gotten around to shave yet. It's a small change but it does make him look a bit older.]

So, uh. It looks like I can still turn into a wolf after everything. I didn't have the ability to do that before the jaunt, so it's definitely from there. I guess liminal's gonna liminal and break the rules of how it worked for Tijan... any tips of how to handle full moon while Traveling would be great.

However, there's... something we need to confirm. [Suddenly Mikasa looks more serious, for now, because this is actually really serious business. No one wants to see a mad Ackerman or rather a mad Ackerwolf in this case!] You see, I bit Mikasa's overlay and she was turning into a werewolf. But she can't turn into one, most likely because she didn't shift even once during the jaunt or then it didn't carry over for her... but it would be good to confirm considering the madness.

I mean, I tried to sniff her scent [Mikasa blushes], but she would smell like my mate [... that's just making the young woman there blush even more, there goes her serious face too!!] and someone who belongs close to me regardless, so I can't be completely certain if there's a new scent for that.

[Jean doesn't notice but Mikasa's face looks at least as red as her scarf right now. Or maybe more like a tomato being about to explode.... Right, so not used to the new word yet ... at all.]

(ooc: Replies can come from both Jean and Mikasa (

callyourname)!)

[Mikasa never makes network posts these days, in fact it's like she almost likes to pretend that she's not even here. So uh, today is an extremely special case, apparently, because she's making this.]

So, there's another Jean around now too, not that mine's gone anywhere but this one's ... Different.

[Yes, mine, she's that type who loves repeating that about anything that she consideres as hers, not her problem if anyone hearing it doesn't like her style. Moving on...

Instead of explaining what he's like or what he looks like in her own words, she livestreams for a little while. It begins from when he's still pointing his weapon at her and her asking him who he is in a tone similar to like she could be talking about weather. And then his answer is this even if the words most likely only make sense to anyone from the same world as her or who know things about Titan Hell though some of it is unfamiliar to Mikasa too. Eldian? Also yes, he has a different last name. Weird.

But the point is that he says those things before he attacks her and Mikasa ends the livestream there. Clearly having a normal time here then considering how Jean is usually yelling at anyone who might even accidentally hurt her or whatever else that people shoudn't do to his girlfriend.]

Mght want to be careful if you run into him [warrior jean, that is] and before anyone asks, yes, I'm fine.

[Armin asks around who'd like to be involved with the psychic bridge ahead of time - though for now he avoids asking those Travelers who are here from the first time around on this jaunt. As many as 38 investigators from the jaunt are willing to join him in talking with the walkabout-side folks.]

This is Armin, from the jaunt on Mars, trying to get in touch with anyone on the walkabout.

What's going on on that side? Where are you? Is everyone all right?

Like I said, we're on a Mars colony on this side, and it looks like the colonists are going to try and steal a herd of cattle from the oppression corporations in charge, rationing all the food and keeping most of the people in poverty. However, that's not our greatest concern.

This is a place we've been to before, long before Moebius. More than that, this is a time we've been to before. The Arcana have sent us back the Travelers' timeline - or their own, or liminal space's, however you want to look at it - and placed us within the original jaunt. Some of our number are even infiltrating as other Travelers from the first time around - both those investigating and those infiltrating.

We think they may be attempting to revive one of their own number - one of the dead Arcana that would still be alive at this point in the timestream. That's just speculation, at this point - as far as I know, nothing is confirmed - but it seems to fit. What we should do about it, on the other hand, and about this whole situation... may be harder to figure out.

So 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.)

Who: Armin, Eren, Mikasa, Alcuin, Thorne
What: Armin instinctively reaching out to those he's closest to as his mind begins to awaken and reform
Where: The telepathic network
When: Sometime during the 24 hours after his death
Warnings: Many. Death, madness, possible talk of torture

( For an eternity, there is nothing. )

This is Armin, attempting to reach the Travelers on walkabout from the jaunt in Harrogate.

What's going on over there? Where are you, and is everyone all right?

We're still working out what's going on over here. It's 123 years later than the last time we were here, the year 2020 - in many ways it seems like a modern earth so many Travelers are familiar with. We arrived during the funeral of a local beloved celebrity. There are a number of ghosts hanging around, and several Travelers are investigating or infiltrating as ghosts. We're investigating several leads as to the cause of this, as well as to the hints of eldritch dealings at work.

I can only keep this connection open for about half an hour. I may be able to contact you all again in a few days - but I have to use psychic bridge to speak with the investigators on the ghost side of things as well, so that's not a promise.

...Is Eren around? [Because, of course, that was second half of the motivation for making this connection - and for bringing Mikasa along.]

Hello, fellow Travelers. For once, I am not addressing everyone in regards to an entertainment of some sort.

Gentlemen, and those without a female reproductive system, you might want to tune me out from here on. Ladies, and anyone with a female reproductive system, I have something for you.

A few Liminal Spaces back, I realized that no one here has made any sort of contraceptives for those who might wish to engage in activities that would result in unfortunate consequences.

[For all that she adored Christina eventually... it was an unfortunate consequence.]

I have made a liquid that will halt conception for three months. It is completely reversible if you ever wish to bear a child, but it will prevent both pregnancy and menstruation.

For those who live in an earlier age and do not understand, I am happy to talk you through what goes on, and what my concoction does.

If you would like some, please, by all means, come to my rooms. My door is always open, and I will not ask any questions of you.

What the shit was that!? I know we end up in overlays that have a lot in common with us, but that was too close! The asshole that double-crossed my overlay and his band-mates was too much like that backstabbing bastard Reiner! The people he ran off with were just like the other two traitors we had to deal with back at the Walls too!

And why was our band named Basement Dilemma!? Basement Dilemma! Is what my old man did going to start messing with me even when I'm Infiltrating now!?

Has anyone had an overlay's life be that close to their own before!? That was exactly the life I probably would've had if I was born into a normal world instead of that Titan-infested hellhole of a cage!

[This post is actually filtered away from Baby Rose, but everyone else gets to listen to a very, very flustered voice from Jean.]

This is a kidnapping! I don't care what others say, this is a kidnapping case! I can't do anything in this situation. I haven't felt so helpless and embarrassed in a while...

Korra, help. If there's someone she'll listen to, it's you.

[Instead of his feelings coming across actual state of panic of getting kidnapped, it's more flustered embarrassment for being put into a situation like this. So nothing really dangerous. Carry on.

Brought to you by Naga carrying around Jean like a puppy.]

Ladies, Gentlemen, and anyone who does not consider themselves either of the two, I have an announcement.

I believe it is time that we have another Liminal Ball. Last year, I coordinated, with the help of some others, a ball here in Liminal Space between Jaunt. It is obvious that after all of the chaos and division we have had in the past weeks, we need to come together and celebrate us as a group before our hosts divide us even further.

Thus, a few days after Liminal Space changes, we will hold a fancy-dress ball, masques optional, but encouraged. I will need some help with creating food, drink, and decorations. Please feel free to come find me if you would like to help in some manner. We will also likely need people to assist with outfits and costuming for those who cannot create their own.

Also, I must emphasize, this is a ball for everyone. No matter who you are, no matter what your opinions are on our current state, you are welcome. We are all in this together, and we really need a bloody break.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

This is Drizzt Do'Urden, and I have a simple question: what does one do in Liminal Space beside read books? It is too small to have anything left to explore, unless one tries to scale the wall.

[He does not sound frustrated, but in a good general mood. Drizzt seems more amused about it than anything, and he figures someone will have a good answer for him.]

I ask because I am afraid boredom begins to strike at my heart with my blades still for so long, and I need something more to combat it properly. Perhaps one of you has advice?

[Sorry, network, you'll never know peace so long as Jules still walks Liminal Space. Have some more screaming.]

There's a Drow here and Zaknafein said they were bad news, and this one's got some kind of MURDERCAT and he just surprised me, and I don't know what I'm gonna do, and he ABSOLUTELY REEKS, this is what death smells like, I am pretty sure this is what death smells like...

BUT I NEED HELP!

[ The good news? Mikasa is using sensory livestreaming to show Armin in the current liminal. The bad news is that... ]

He is definitely not Armin.

DON'T TOUCH ME!

[Someone is clearly not having a good day.]

[Joscelin's voice, sent across the network, is warm, dry, composed - instilled with enough confidence, he hopes, to reassure the new and uncertain.]

A calm beginning makes for a welcome change. We should still start sharing what we know. Who's with us, and who is missing? Who is infiltrating? What do we know about this world?

If this is your first Jaunt - and there were many new faces in Liminal Space - ask for assistance, and we'll give it.

I'll begin. This is Joscelin Verreuil. We're on the coast of an island, somewhere between Alba and Terre D'Ange- England and France, I think, locally. Magic of some sort appears to be open and commonplace. I can't make sense of their calendar, but we're in or just after the Twentieth Century, as.... Christians... reckon time. This is a port where foreigners are common and unremarked. I have clothes that fit the era, and in my pockets were ten five-pound notes. The Trumps don't mean for us to be spotted immediately, or starve, but I can't guess more than that.

heartofmetal

So, this is my first time in a situation like this so I wanted to ask some advice.

How do you cope when the most important person in your life is an infiltrator? Do you try to keep an eye on them or leave then be?

neverfeltthatway

[Armin tries to look professional, but this liminal has been trying, in a number of ways. He keeps his face neutral, but he looks tired - and there's a tension to his expression, just a hint of sadness.]

I have the list of those Travelers who are no longer with us. To be clear, I am only including Travelers who have been here for at least a jaunt. There are too many who both arrived and vanished in the last couple weeks for me to include them all, since I never met most of them. If anyone wants to know whether somebody who showed up during the last couple weeks is still here, however, I can find out.

Nicholas. Istas. Elliot. Byerly. Zatanna. Mikleo. Doujima. Robin. Neeshka. Hal. Sorey.

[He goes quiet for a long moment, before continuing on a different vein.] Most of you will probably have noticed, but this liminal space seems to be messing with our heads - making people more cynical and paranoid.

Eldritch defenses work against this influence.

I'm not sure exactly what this means, but we should be on guard. However, I have searched thoroughly and I can find no trace of the King in Yellow's sign.

Does anyone know Red Magic besides that asshole Malik? I need to learn it.
