*Looks at the steps*

Well this is fun! Somebody has time for luxury or abstract art or something...

Hey, want to play 'who's got the strongest fist around' game? I can see a spot on your face that could be adjusted if you ask me!

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

<Snipped quote by Interface>

Hey, cut it out, both of you! We have a quest to do.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

What is he trying to do, exactly?

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

Pstch! How immature!

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Yes ma'am!

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

I know. I just don't want us to take our training for granted. We have reason to be confident, but we don't have reason to be overly aggressive about it. Not yet.

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

This is so not gonna work…
*Slides the paper off the table as I step away and walk over to the board, pinning it up in a little corner*

@Source@Path@Memory

Ah! So should i blow it up or we ghost through it? Any more intel? *Hicks then places a hand on the surface of the rock and attempts to look beyond it to see if there's another room or just a big gaping hole, but gets distracted by Gio's and Levy's chatter* Guys! Seriously! A man's trying to work here!

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

Alright, I’m through with this.
*The rock extends forward and swallows me, ejecting me on the other side*

You're putting yourself in a precarious situation, magic man.

*darts toward your face with a fully charged fist, but goes static befor re-entering behind you, slamming the fist into the back of your head, as the bolts thravel through my arm and into your body with the force of 1,000 tonnes*

Careful not to misstep.

*follows through*

*The stairs eventually take the shape of a winding staircase through a twilight environment, stars peeking through the distance*

<Snipped quote by Source>

*makes an "oooh" face as we descend the stairs*

<Snipped quote by Path>

*We eventually reach the height where every step is a thin pane of mirrored glass, reflecting our group and surroundings as we walk toward the stars, expanding infinitely in every direction, now completely clear of the rock structure we entered, which isn't visible above or below us*
Ever seen anything like this before, Levy?

<Snipped quote by Source>

*is frantically writing down notes and observing everything with multiple rune circles hovering in front of my left eye*

<Snipped quote by Path>

I guess that's a no?

<Snipped quote by Source>

hUh? Oh, I have not. At least, not intricately done in this manner.

<Snipped quote by Path>

This strikes me as some kind of ritual. Anyone else get the same vibes?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Ritual? Can you elaborate?

<Snipped quote by Path>

We got here through some gruff stone entrance, then it slowly squeezes us until we get to huge stairs, which start to smooth out and get more walkable until finally we're here. Seems symbolic of some kind of rise to a higher calling or something, doesn't it?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Like we are entering some sort of higher plane?
