InfiniteInsanity she/her Posted October 24, 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 On 10/22/2022 at 4:13 PM, The Bookwyrm said: Bookwyrm smiled. "You have more power than you realize," he said. "You could probably do something similar if you put your mind to it." He turned and looked out over the valley again before resting his eyes on the path out of the foothills. "But yeah, you're right. We should go." Bookwyrm started walking. Insa followed. She started thinking about this whole power thing people kept mentioning thing. All she had done was make a box and then Emma had done... something. And then something about power or something like that. What were they talking about? Insa noticed some flowers that were growing along the side of the path. She stopped real quick and picked a couple. She fiddled with the flowers as she kept walking. One of her hands started to tingle a bit like it was falling asleep. She shook her hand trying to get the feeling to go away. A small purple spark flung off her hand, hit the ground and disappeared. Insa stopped walking. The tingling had stopped. What was that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvus, theoretical/quantum physicist. Both have been responsible for major breakthroughs in dimensional travel." Emma stands by Calano, waiting for the guards to move. "I am also here to help find Calano's parents." Mine tended to live in seclusion and they changed where they lived frequently, your parents should know, Calano. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend, I'm afraid that there have been records of people attempting to enter the void. In each case, they have screamed in agony before being entirely consumed, never to be seen again. The void will not allow you to pass to anywhere except heavens above. Even people who have managed to travel here have only ever appeared in the Forest, not from the void."

Whatever that was, Byrd ignored it. It took less than ten minutes for the party to reach the void. If you looked up, you could see the blue sky, going on as if everything was normal. But if you looked down... What looked to be an ocean of violent, inky blackness stretched out to infinity. It roiled, depthless yet somehow turbulent. Theodore kicked a rock into it. As the party watched, the rock disintegrated in a flash of violet light. It led TAAron to wonder why the void was not eating at the shoreline. "There you go," the man said. "Infinite, deadly void. I will go tell Edmund of your arrival. And your... departure." As Theodore turned and left, Mell hung back. "Are you sure you want to go?" she asked sincerely. "You may very well die trying to leave." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranryu she/her Posted October 25, 2022 Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 You... you did this. No, we did this. Your soul was too fractured. I should've just let us fall. Ranryu couldn't hear the Rightful One's worries. The universe- universes, were on fire. Everything flashed before her eyes, too fast to process. People she had never met, places she hadn't even dreamed of. It was like trying to drink from a hurricane. We need to get out of here... the fabric of the universe isn't safe... Ranryu seized up. Now she was looking at the past. She couldn't not see everything, and glimpses of the one thing she actually wanted to know fled from her. "Come back!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without INsanity to keep her brain whirring, and without sanity to keep it firmly grounded, she will act the way most people think of as insane. And the tingly power is amplifying her emotions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
