"Thanks," she said, flatly, then followed Mell into the tower. Just now, The Halcyon Girl said: Haly and Jove follow, Haly fingering her flower with a faraway look on her face 1 minute ago, Nameless said: Nameless examined the doorway curiously, following along only reluctantly. The room was mostly white and empty, with one wall occupied by a registration stand with a pleasant-looking man behind it, and another with various waiting chairs, one of which was occupied. At the far wall, four glowing circles were on the floor, each with a plaque behind them naming a location. General Lobby. Police Lobby. Court Lobby. The fourth circle was marked simply Private. Mell beckoned them to this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bookwyrm he/him Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) @CalanoCorvus' Quote I know I haven't been posting for a while. Sorry. If Calano and Emma's parents are in that dimension, what are Insa and Bookwyrm going to find in the villages of the dimension they're exploring? Did you have anything in mind?

Mell beckoned them to this one. Haly followed, mind still fixed on the flower in her hand. Why does it remind me of the mountain? It’s just a flower. Still. It kind of hurt, being welcomed to a world when she couldn’t go back to the one she truly cared about. Actually, the fact that she cared about it was why she couldn’t go back. It made her homesick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranryu she/her Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Universes swirled around Ranryu and the Rightful One, weaving through them, flooding them with every time and place ever. At first, it was too much for Ranryu to take. After an indefinite amount of time, something inside her snapped, painful yet freeing. Anything she wanted to know was at her fingertips. All her questions, answered in an instant. And one of those answers filled her with rage. "Did you know about this?" Her voice echoed, like water flooding a canyon. No... I. This is an abomination. We are... I do not know what to do. "Luckily for you, I do." Using the threads of universes beyond measure, Ranryu formed a glaive, glowing with infinite possibilities. Wait... No! The Aos Si need us. You can't do this! There has to be another way! "The Aos Si overstated their need for agents in the clinic. After what they did, can you let this stand? If we returned to them, it would go against everything we've become." I suppose you are correct... Make it quick. The Rightful One's tone was reluctant, but she knew Ranryu was right. "To mend what the Aos Si have broken." Ranryu brought the glaive's blade across her forearm, tearing the magic that sustained her. And then she died. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You bunch are the only otherworlders to arrive in a decade, and no one ever came before Edmund. Also, stand up. King's private office, please." Instantly, everyone in the circle felt a lurching as they shot up, the various levels of the tower blurring in front of their eyes. They arrived faster than what would seem possible at the second floor to the top of the tower. They found themselves standing an an identical circle to the one they had entered. The sight here was very different. All of the walls were painted blue, with a simple hardwood floor and white ceiling that somehow seemed to illuminate the room despite the absence of a light fixture. On each side wall was a massive bookshelf, neatly organized and adorned with various odd trinkets. Against the back wall was a large but simple desk covered in papers, books, and random fidgety objects. Behind the desk in a simple chair sat the king of the realm. Edmund looked remarkably young for his position, likely only in his twenties. His hair was gray, just as Mell's was. Other than that, he looked very average, dressed normally, fair-skinned and somewhat short with dirty blond hair. His arms were covered in small doodles made in pen. He looked up from his papers, smiling as he saw them, his eyes sparkling with a deep blue that matched the walls and the flowers. "Hello, General. And hello, fellow otherworlders."

"I'm not planning on staying. I just want to duel Emma... wait." Wynn realizes that she had no memory of anything before entering the clinic. That seemed... bad. There was nobody around to consult on this strange phenomenon. And she still really wants that duel. Well, I guess I should find one of the patients. I hear they're really interesting.
