Thorne is seeing to who is still themselves, but there is a pressing matter for those of us aboard the Cornu since we have enough food and water to last for some time as well as some amount of weaponry.

Who here besides myself has experience sailing, and who will be at the helm? And to where should we go?

((OOC: you can see the details of what the ship holds here))

Okay. Uh. Wow. I did not expect to be Investigating as a mermaid. Selkie. Finvestigating. You know.

I also did not expect to get all kinds of shiny mermaid knowledge dumped in my head the moment I ended up in the water, but that seems to have happened anyway. So if anyone wants to know anything about that shit, please do ask me. The most important thing is that the Thalassian Mermaid Queen, the Dread Empress or whatever, is as scary as fuck and our cover story should probably be that we ran away from her empire because we didn’t want to become cannibal berserkers. Which are a thing. Oh my god.

Anyway, it looks like we’re in the world with the Labyrinthine Shoals? Like, that’s evidently where we are. We’re in the Shoals. And I guess we’re mermaids? Some of us? Can anyone chime in to tell me if there’s anyone around who’s not a mermaid.

Actually, maybe we should make this a general check-in with, like, name and species. I’ll go first: this is Thorne and it looks like I’m a California sea lion selkie.

whydoyoushine

You guys miss me? 'Cause I'm back now. And I'm pissed.

The Manticore Knights are going down. I'm gonna make their lives hell, anyone want in?

claudiometer

So. Who needs paperwork?

I wanted to make sure mine would pass the sniff test before offering it to anyone else, but it just did - and this is not my first papers-falsifying rodeo. I can do passports and tourism or work visas, but you're on your own for the casualty insurance, if you've been playing a role where picking that up is a thing.

Got a stable place for the week - I can meet people in Liminal from there, but between the amped-up security and the fact that they know we're a thing in general terms, be really super careful about where you decide to put your portals.

protect_and_serve

[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.

Hello and welcome to another exciting session of What Terrible Crap Were We All Exposed To On The Last Jaunt. Fortunately, this one's not quite as urgent as space was.

It occurred to me that the Romans were pretty fond of lead, so those of us who were there have probably been exposed to more of it than usual over the last month. Lead's... really not so great for the human body. This time I'm leaving the antidote up to individual discretion, but there's some in the workshop and some in Kanji's place.

[private to Zoe]

I know I just said it's up to personal choice, Zoe-san, and you'd probably do this anyway, but I definitely recommend you get some of this for the baby, at least. Lead's especially rough on kids and I don't want to see her get sick.

I did what I could, but it still tastes pretty terrible. You might have a hard time getting her to finish it.

[Do you know what time it is? It's Baby Livestream Time! Of course, it's more or less always Baby Livestream Time when Wash isn't infiltrated, as everyone is no doubt terribly aware of by now.

Today the feed shows Rose, who has grown considerably over the course of the Jaunt and will need new clothes again. She's also smiling. And sitting in a strange bubble of blankets and soft toys that Wash decidedly did not generate.]

So guess who learned to actually smile!

And apparently to use liminal skills. Psychic, too, but she seems to be keeping those to people she's met.

[Those are a bit more confusing than smiling.]

someonetocarry

So somebody wanna tell me where the Trumps were hidin' this Jaunt? My other self in there was kinda on the sidelines of whatever action went down, given the whole havin'-a-baby thing, and I don't remember talkin' to anythin' that might fit a Trump in disguise.

[Little does she know... still, it's a place to start the conversation for various interested parties, right? Including herself. Because she's not actually even sure which Trump marked her.]

vorenado

This is Gale of the Embryon Tribe.

-=those that know him will notice that he's not sounded this emotionless and robotic since in all the time he's been here=-

As some of you may have already noticed, our Leader, Sera, has not returned to Liminal Space after our last outward excursion. It is undetermined whether she has been sent to a dungeon or if some other occurrence has prevented her return.

I will be taking on the roll as Acting Leader until such time as Sera is returned to us. The Embryon will endure. We are strong. We will remain together.

-=then there is a long pause=-

We are family.

loyalrebel

Unrelated to... most everything else, but I have a question for you all.

What are parents supposed to be like? Having them, or even being one.

I ask because I do not... actually know from first-hand experience. I never really knew mine and I have no children of my own.

[Someone has been hitting the truth sharing apples probably a bit more than he should have, so expect some storytime.]

leftbehindagain

[A couple days into Liminal Space, but before it changes, Naoki puts out a message. He sounds... tired, but satisfied.]

I've worked out something that will counteract the radiation exposure most of us just got. There's some in the workshop and some in Kanji's place - there should be enough for everyone who was on Gehenna.

Please, guys, take a bottle. I don't care how invincible you think you are, I don't care how much you might think I hate you, I don't care how bad you think it tastes - I did the best I could, but it's still pretty clearly medicine. Radiation is serious business, and none of us deserve to be stuck with the long-term effects if there's a way around it. If it turns out you absolutely cannot get it down for some reason, let me know and I'll try another version.

someonetocarry

Hey, so. I've got a room full of refugees here in liminal space. Most of 'em don't even look like they're infiltrators, though some of 'em are. Don't know if we've got any idea what to do with 'em in here.

Is Corona fixed? Is there room on the Empress for a couple dozen more folk? Or should I keep 'em here a while longer?

seventhbullet

Hey, I got a question. Well, more of an issue, really.

Is anyone else seeing things?

A lot of the officers over on the Empress are rabbity, and not just officers - and now I've started seeing things too. But only with the clockwork eye. I was kinda hoping someone could check it out for me. I can do my own repairs in theory, but I could use a second pair of eyes. Or one full pair of eyes, if you get me.

Can anyone on the Corona even hear this?

howexciting

... let us get this over with so we can return to Liminal Space. This place is unpleasant.

Leonardo da Vinci, present. Known infiltrators: Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Known missing: Genevieve Blanchard and Zed. I... cannot sense them through our Bond. They were likely sent on a Walkabout.

For anyone who does not know about radiation and is near an area expected to get to 150 rads or more - get out of there immediately. Such radiation levels might cause adverse effects on your body, unless you have the proper protection. Find a safer place. I might be able to distribute suits from the Ivory Tower to combat the radiation, but I do not know how much they would stand out. Still, it might be worth the risk so that we are not harmed in the process.

[How about that, the Ivory Tower was useful after all.]

Please list any confirmed infiltrators and any confirmed missing persons so we are more aware of our current numbers.

lunchleader

Hi, everyone!

[Right's a mix of nerves and excitement, because he's finally gonna help fix things, in his mind.]

So, my name's Right. Some of you may have met me before, and I think I owe everyone an explanation. I think some of you saw me like this when we were in Sarmatia, right?

[Everyone will see a live-stream image of what appears to be a cell phone, and a photo of several young adults. The older form of Right is clearly visible in the middle, wearing a red jersey jacket. Then, the phone is lowered, and the 'feed' shifts to reveal the younger form of Right staring into a mirror.]

Well...this is the real me. And I know this is kinda confusing everyone, so I guess I should explain a few things.

[The visual feed cuts off, but he continues to talk.]

( (Spoilers within! Fair Warning) )

thornsofmalkav

Bad news, everybody. I just found out that Zed's been having people rig the voting machines. Worse, since they're direct-recording electronic, there's no paper record like with a scantron.

I'm going to be talking to Daneel--the vavassour--about this tonight and the candidates and even Zed himself. I suggest everyone who's been staying at Zed's place should go back and get whatever stuff they don't want to leave behind right now, because I'm not sure how welcome we're going to be once I talk to Zed. We should be able to stay at the Kurgan until the end of the Jaunt, however. It can't be much longer.

Ugh. I'm sorry about this.

thornsofmalkav

[Thorne's mental voice come in clear, early into the first night.]

Hey. I figured someone should do a check-in? I've been listening to people talk and we're in a place named Samartia. Dunno where that is besides Eastern Europe. I'll find a map later.

Anyway, we're in vampire and werewolf territory. They think you guys are something called corvigers? Uh, those are people who work for the supernaturals. We called them ghouls back home.

And there's this election thing going on. It's like their first time? I'm passing myself off as an elections observer. So's Melissa. If people want, they can pretend to be our human staff. Just let us know.

someonetocarry

[A few private parties-- Leonardo, Lupa, Vilari, Phillip, Tick-Tock, and anybody else who happens to know Zoe's got a dead husband back home that the mun can't remember right now-- receive the same or similar message from her a couple days into the second liminal space event.]

So. I know I told you my husband died. I even dropped his name into that Song thing.

Well, he's here. He turned up. And he don't know about the dead thing, guess he comes from some 'verse before that happened. I need you t'not tell him. This place is strange enough without him thinkin' he's dead, too. Think you can do that for me?

claudiometer

So, question. Does anyone have a thing that charges things up? I need to figure out if I've made a functional lightcycle or if it's just a pretty but useless baton.

It was that or find a salad to laugh into. [That part's quieter; she probably didn't mean to broadcast it. Either way, Claudia would like some help with a thing pls.]

If it's working, I'll start taking requests. Only a couple at a time, though, I need to make sure I have time to... you know. Eat and sleep.

someonetocarry

So we've got a pretty big group of folk here, from all over. Prob'ly got a all different walks of life represented, right?

Do any of those folk happen to be from a doctor-type of walk of life?
