<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Last time it nearly woke up. It took everything I had to calm it down.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I’m curious what it takes to calm it down. Cosmic teddy bear?

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I used the power of the Mind Dragon to enter the mind's realm with that thing.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

What an experience that must have been.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I...
*Looks at the wall where the portal opened*
I don't want to talk about that.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

You don’t have to. I’ll reiterate, I’m not here to make you do anything.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I know you're not, other than your pixie friend over there. I just need to come up with something.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Time is likely on our side. If that thing is an eternal entity that’s been asleep with no known record of activity, I’d say there is no rush.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Nods*
You're right. But I don't want to sit here, helpless.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

You’re more than welcome to sit here, though. In fact, I recommend it. You’re likely exhausted.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

How many people can access this realm?

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

This realm? I dunno, just about anyone. But the number of people who can get inside here with no trouble are around a dozen, all of whom I trust, but most of which wouldn’t show up anyway.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

And none are expected?

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Expected, no. But one or two could come knocking for a variety of reasons.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Nods and slumps in the nearest chair*
I hope you'll turn them away.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

They don’t come into any of the areas that I would call personal quarters anyway. I’ll keep them outside or we’ll stay in the work related rooms, but turning them away isn’t an option, exactly.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Why not?

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I answer to them for certain things. I’d regret upsetting them for a variety of reasons. But for equally as many or more reasons, you don’t need to worry about them. They’re rational people.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Hm. I'll leave if there's an emergency.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

That’s perfectly reasonable.
*Takes the dishes from before and sets them bear the sink of the kitchen*
I’ll let you rest, if there was nothing else urgent. Feel free to tell Chickpea if you need anything.
