[ after several long talks with Kitty, Loki and Kanaya, Thomas finally feels like he's scoured as much of what's available on the network to him as he can, and picked the brains of the people around him who would let him.

Well, figuratively picked their brains. He could literally dig around in their minds, given that his telepathy has gotten better recently, but that's pretty rude, tbh. Only going to do that to people he doesn't like, and even then, only if he thinks he needs to. But either way, he has something that's actually presentable, and in a kind of organization that people outside of him (and Teresa) alone could actually be able to comprehend. So now it's show and tell time. ]

i know there's been a few posts like this already, so it's probably old news to most of you here, but i'm mostly wanting to get my notes double checked. though, if you're new, this might answer some questions you have.

[ he'll be attaching his universe/porter/all things everywhere notes page here, so people can look it over, either to get themselves up to speed on what this place is and what's going on, or for people who've been here longer to review what he has and let him know if something's off. ]

that's all I got so far. i'm mostly looking for stuff on the porter and how the universes and travel between them works. anyone see something i'm missing or something i got wrong? or just got rude commentary you wanna make? minho's not invited. [ he smells. also, this is thomas's mild way of saying 'i want all the information on lachesis and the porter i can possibly acquire tyvm'. if you read between the lines. ] anyway, loki's story about the sudiczki sisters was pretty obviously lacking. i'm gonna be heading out to check if there's anything i can dig up about lana, or the other two. so if anyone needs me, i'll be out of heropa the next few days.

anyone at Xavier's willing to let me borrow notes when i get back? [ he's not very good about caring if he's skipping school tbh. sry, professors. ]

[ this part is done as a video, and Thomas has his Getting Things Done voice on, with his phone propped up against some books while his hand busies a pencil over a spiral folded open in front of him, various travel brochures for Nonah and De Chima spread around his desk. ]

I know everyone hit deadends when they looked into this earlier, but unless it was Emma out there with them, I don't think they worked the telepath angle on it. [ aka Thomas is going to go pry into some peoples' heads and he'd like you to come with him. ] I'm heading to Nonah for a few days, then De Chima after.

It'd be cool to have some of you guys with, if you're not busy. You know. In case I piss some shank off and need to get sprung from the Slammer.

[ doesn't actually sound like a joke. Look, he spent enough time in the Glade's Slammer to know he doesn't have the best luck with this stuff. ]

We'll handle the jail break! I do agree that we need more people on the investigation angle when it comes to those cities. I'm also thinking we need to road trip to Brycha, too. [And soon, but she doesn't add that.]

[shuckit]

Thanks for the jail break back up. [ small smirk here. LOOK. EXPRESSIONS. ]

Annie mentioned heading to Brycha a while back. I'm in for the detour.

[selfequipped]

Rose found some details that might mean we need to be there sooner than later. We've waited too long. We can plan it for the New Year! Unless you think you'll take longer, but having a telepath along for the ride could help.

[Especially since it's apparently a strange as hell coastal town. She knows enough Stephen King to know that that's a bad idea for anyone.]

As for what you're looking into now, if you can get any items that I can get my hands on, we can see what I can pull out of the memories of them.

[ A little wave as she breaks into the conversation. ]

I can drive.

I'm also along for the investigation for as long as I can take off work.

are you taking on the man?

[shuckit]

pretty sure the porter/lachesis is usually called 'she' so technically no

even then, just info gathering. wars with superpowered beings aren't my strong suit

[ also he is super not announcing that here tbh ]

hey
a woman can be the man
we've got the balls
but team porter isn't really doing the loner thing in this universe

[ there's quite a bit to the notes, she'll get to all that in a moment. ]

Nonah's a rather big place. Anywhere in particular you're planning to look first?

voice, filter.

[shuckit]

Thinking I'll start around the military base, see what I can listen in on. After that, I'm sure people already went through archives, but maybe a consensus, so I can find the families and people that've been living there longest. Maybe find someone who was in charge of the world fair, look for connections. [ it's minds he needs, after all, not actual archives. ] Someone in charge of the library would be good, too. Someone who worked there for a while.

In De Chima, maybe find the house she lived in, or place she worked. Kate can do something with items if I can find something she'd touched or worked with. Supposedly she went to a school there. It'd be good to look there, figure out what she was studying too.

Loki also mentioned a son... [ as much as disturbing someone about a tragically passed relative is invasive, needs must. ]

voice, filter.

[glowsferatu]

Keep in mind that world's fair would have been a full century in the past. Anyone from that time who isn't dead must be well past senile by now. Our best chance will be in diaries or documents from the time, rather than minds that will have decayed.

[ but there's an underlying idea here, in his focus. one that she assumed from loki's original mention of the information, but didn't toss in her thoughts because they would probably have resulted in an unproductive argument. ]

You think she might have built it. [ it isn't a question. ]

I'm always up for a little B&E—not that I want you to get caught.

Who exactly do you have your prying eyes—or prying mind—on?

VIDEO | COOL KIDS FILTER

[shuckit]

Not that I do either, but it's good to know.

[ here, he's going to link him to what he told kanaya ] I talked to Kanaya some about what I was thinking of doing there. Looking for minds more than my eyes will pick up.

[ Loki's life as a catalyst of the revolution, a short story about Loki. there's an over-exaggerated "hmmmm." ]

I've checked records publicly available. The best bet would be to track down her family tree—if her son ever decided to have a couple of snot nosed babies, anyway. If not, well, we may be ess-oh-el. As far as that avenue, anyway.

text | not private bc he doesnt know how to do that teach him your ways

[kinesia]

[ Was there ever any doubt as to what he would say? ]

im coming with you . what are we looking for ?

text | omfg grey, he will make it private for you, this is now filtered to cool kids filter

[shuckit]

[ pretty much. ]

did you read loki's post about the cities, and the three sisters?

[dragony]

[ damn that is
a lot of things she's said...
in the file of this dude she's never spoken to... ]

What sort of "stuff" are you looking for, then?

[shuckit]

[ yeaaaaaaaaaaaah he was directed to a lot of your posts, gurlfriend. also he's a freak and dug all through the network obsessively. information is important, okay ]

dunno. just more to understand it, i guess. [ he wants to figure it out, then learn how to use it, or get an angle he can make a deal with, maybe. he has some people in his home world that need getting out hella fast. well, by there time. lucky for them, they're on pause right now.

in addition to that, though, thomas has an obsessive need to figure things out, so this was bound to happen regardless.

but that former part he's not actively advertising. but after reading her network id: ]

this is probably kinda creepy, sorry. but thanks for all the info, retroactively?

As long as you don't mind me communicating back to Reiner, I can assist in Nonah. Nice summary.

[shuckit]

fine by me. thanks. i tried to get everything in there.

[infomodder]

[SOMEONE is super happy there's so much Freddie in this, but he can't say it. Still: good work, kid!]

This is handy. How long did it take you to put together?

[shuckit]

[ uuggghhhh no don't tell him that, hdu ]

mostly it was just info gathering the last couple months. i had a lot of notes written down, putting them together didn't take that long. [ the spiral he had these notes written in looks like utter chaos, tbh. ]

[incendere]

They certainly know how to keep their inhabitants busy.

[Which is to say what is wrong with this place and also that was a lot of extremely helpful information!]

I appreciate your putting this together.

[shuckit]

It was this or solitaire. [ so funny.

most people seem like they appreciate it, so that's a reward in its own for the work. he's not a big believer in information hoarding. the things he keeps private, like the file leak suspects, are there more for their privacy than anything else.

that, and, he doesn't want tony stark knowing he's creeping something fierce on him. ]

No problem. I have a thing for lists.

[Newt knew Thomas would start picking at all of it, wouldn't leave it alone. It's like the Maze all over again, and he feels like he can trust him to figure it out again. Relies on it, honestly.

He smiles.]

Real proud of you, Tommy, you haven't wasted any time since you got here. I can't follow you with this one, though- not 'cause I don't want to. Can't take off work that long, but keep me updated, yeah? Try not to get tossed in the Slammer, too. Think you've spent enough time there already.

SHHHHH me too

[shuckit]

[ he gives a short snort ]

Someone's gotta do the boring work. [ aka the stuff thomas is obsessed with. ] Yeah, yeah. Have a little faith, man. I got this.
