Just to make sure I’m clear on our timeline.
RayJay picks up Mike. Adventure ensues RayJay and Mike meet Aisha and two become three Further adventure ensues Group meets Agi Adventures get out of control and the group ditches RayJay Group meets Tou New team is formed with the intent of not using jaunting to perpetrate misery but instead do something good Hey Tou check out what this device does Curtains up If it’s six months from meeting to ditching RayJay what are we looking at for lengths of inter party relationships? It seems like Mike has enough cause to trust Aishi and Agi to an extent. We’d have known each other long enough to be friendly and we collectively ditched somebody in a reality they just finished running a crime spree in, so we’ve had a bonding moment there. Even weeks can be a long time when spent exclusively with a small group of people. Throw in life or death reliance on each other and these relationships would be rather solid. Do we have any in-jokes or light hearted teasing of each other at this point? I’m picturing RayJay making a mistake in a jaunt and we end up in a reality with purple trees. We narrowly avoid a TPK, and perhaps this is the moment we start looking for an escape plan from RayJay. Then “purple tree” becomes our code word for dangerous situations. I’m glad we mostly know each other. Those games go better for me. I like to keep a game moving forward, but it’s hard sometimes to be “oh absolutely. Let’s do what you just suggested complete stranger that I met yesterday.” And stay true to my character.

In a previous comment I proposed this Quote:
Then there's some "Unsuccessful jaunting in search of Hypatia" right before "Group meets Tou". Last edited by Cap Ut; May 29th, 2023 at 03:46 PM. |

Okay so Mike has only done some adventures with Aisha and RayJay and Agi arrived at the split.
Instead of Agi takes jauntbox away we could go with Aisha and Mike using Agi’s arrival as their “I don’t want to die here” moment and join forces with the person who’s less likely to be a lunatic?

Your timeline checks out for me, I'm okay with Agni appearing just at the split. Do we have a rough time span for how long it has been between meeting Agni and meeting Touissant?

In any case, I imagine Agni not to be particularly outgoing or joking (especially given the circumstances), but tendentially serious and professional (when not aggravated, at least ![]() Given Hypatia's tales and his own peculiar heritage, he's not gonna put much weight on whether someone is a human, android or else, unless he comes across someone/something exceptionally exotic: as long as you can be considered a person, he's gonna see you and treat you like a person.

Mike is of average intelligence, but is at heart a bit of a meathead. He’d be fascinated by spending time with an AI, and while only jaunting for a short while he’s definitely become a lot more accepting of just how much he doesn’t know.
Mike’s sense of humour leans a bit more toward frat boy hurr hurr type jokes, but recent experiences have him appreciating absurdist humour a bit more. There was a British guy in his college classes, so he understands that dry humour exists even if he doesn’t always get the joke. Given the time frame I’d assume Mike tried some “teasing” type jokes and was met with indifference. I’m coming at this from a jaunting (when my phone starts to autocorrect haunting into jaunting this game has won) is fun, and these people seem unlikely to get me killed standpoint. He’s totally onboard to pursue the goals of his team, but if we need a quick exit to a different reality he’d vote for something like “a reality where Hitler got into art school” or “a reality where Genghis Khan fell off his horse and broke his neck as a child” type thing. Full disclosure that’s what I’d use a jauntbox for.

Alright, it seems like the conversation is mostly about solidifying some character relationships and timelines.
I'll get a game thread opened up in the next day or so. Quote:

@HotsuSama:
That's very valid! Spinning whole realities into existence is actually quite the challenge. Luckily complications do exist. So maybe the reality where Hitler got into art school turned out to become one that's currently in a nuclear winter. Maybe that would be dodging the crux of that particular alternate-history scenario, but at least it wouldn't involve a ton of research. For a moment I tried to imagine how I would approach that jaunt truth as a Guide, and I know that I at least would have had to consider how much time I would deem a good idea to sink into answering questions of alternative history. ![]()
