YOU MAY BE A LOVER BUT YOU AIN'T NO DANCER

HELTER SKELTER

[Well, Champions, it certainly does look like you're trapped here.

There's limited food and limited supplies... and while there's a limited number of you, there's certainly too many of you for what you've got on hand. Never mind the whole deal that you've been kidnapped and shoved into someone else's house. Like, who even does that?

And all to "send a message," besides. Whatever that even means.

Regardless, things aren't going to change by just sitting and moping around. You're here until your captor decides he's done with you, so while there's no guarantee that acting won't just make things worse, it's got to be at least a little better than this.

Right?]

As I don't have access to my master's logs, I cannot say for sure why he would come to this particular point in space, or even if it was my master who drove the house to begin with.

But I can say that if it was him he was probably visiting someone, though why he wouldn't just jump directly from home instead of bringing the entire house again is beyond me.

[Now that is interesting. So the house itself is the ship, yet the master can do a jump. Lithia wonders if this "jumping" is similar to her teleporting and if maybe both travel methods were combined.]

I admit, my first thought would be needing a place to stay. Can you tell me a bit more about this "jumping"? I admit it's not a term I'm familiar with, but the way you speak of it sounds similar to teleporting, which I am very familiar with.

[strangerpeople]

By jumping, I of course mean teleporting through different universes.

[nolongerasleep]

Oh wow! I can only go between planets myself so I'm quite impressed. [She's very sincere in this, it is an impressive thing to be able to do.] Is this an innate talent of his or did he create a machine to assist him?

[strangerpeople]

It's mostly technology, of course, and it's not exactly unadvanced. I should know, after all. I am the one who coordinates the house's travel capabilities.

. . .

Usually.

[nolongerasleep]

I do know it's quite advanced. I admit, I'm curious to see how it works myself because it sounds quite fascinating. I do appreciate you telling us and can't think of any other questions at this time.

[As much as she wants to see if they can make use of it, she doubts Sierra will show them until his master wakes up unless they end up needing to seek help to do so.]

[starswink]

[He is seriously working on that, but yeah. Well. Eventually he's gonna have to give up and help with Rantaro's don't-die-slumber-party.]

If the house is all we need to travel, maybe there'll be some way to stall...

[he trails off. It's too early to think about that.]
