<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

*Sighs*
But are you telling us we’re out of luck? Because if trying to get there, just means we end up here, and we can’t get past this point, then we just have to shrug it off and accept the loss?

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

*Takes several breaths with sharp exhales*
Don't scare me like that. Can you at least give us some pointers or advice?

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Taps my fingertips together*
Do you think you might be able to help me?

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Once again closes my eyes for a moment as I think*

The fact that you're here means you're close. The best I can do is give you a guide who can lead you past here, and have them shadow you until you've lost the scent of this place. Then they could give you a direct path. But that probably isn't ideal when you're on a time crunch...

*I open my eyes*

Time moves very slowly here, compared to most places, so you don't have to worry about having lost too much time. But I can't say the same for wherever you might go next. The real problem is that the circumstances I mentioned mean that I can't prevent what happened from happening again, so the chance of getting back here is unfortunately there.

This would he a lot easier if it were a different enemy, one who I didn't think could or would try to find this place.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

If following my dad's trail got us here, wouldn't you want us to beat Dynamo so he can't find this place? It seems like that will happen no matter what we do.

I do think so. But first, I want to test the behavior of what’s going on to see if there are any special rules to them. For all intents and purposes, if they are not inherently resistant to interaction, then removing them will actually be incredibly easy. But with stuff made by powers of different folks, you have to take into account special rules that apply to them, so for all intents and purposes I’m going to have to take it slowly and carefully to make sure we don’t trigger any reactions that make things worse.

*Nods*
That’s what I was thinking.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

If his trail already lead us here, it sounds like it’s only a matter of time before he stumbles here by accident just like we did.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I think the chances of you beating him, completely killing him before he can escape, and doing so as soon as you find him before he can garner any information from you, are very low. I don't mean any offense by that, I've simply underestimated him befote.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Taps my temple*
Oh, that makes sense. Do you know what kinds of rules it might have?

<Snipped quote by Server>

It could vary. It clearly already has at least some, since something like this existing in a person’s body… Wouldn’t be something you find naturally, to say the least. But it could have assigned behaviors entirely centered around regulation and attachment. Or it could also have behaviors assigned toward adhesion, or even self-preservation and systemic defense. That’s going to be something we need to take the time on and work out.
*Raps my fingernails on one hand against the desk in repetition*
It could turn out to be an easy fix, but assuming that’s going to be the case could be dangerous. So I might need you to hang around for a while.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

But what I mean is that aren't the chances the same of him finding this place anyway if we do nothing?

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Wait, before? So you know him? You have history with him? I didn’t expect us to be randomly dropped into a place where someone actually knew who and what we were dealing with.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

The chances aren't the same; the fact is that it's worked so far in part because nobody from here goes to interact with many other universes. We stick to a few certain ones.

And yes, I've fought him before, actually. There is less randomness to this than you may think, the problem is less that it was random and more that something is wrong.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*My face falls*
Oh... it's a harder fix than I thought.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

What do you mean by something being wrong?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Like I said before, it shouldn't be possible for someone to come in the way you did without me knowing beforehand. That it happened means something must be wrong, somewhere, in some way.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

That’s what I was trying to say. And the fact that we have a mutual enemy linked to it makes me think our problems might also be linked, in some way.

<Snipped quote by Server>

Hard-er, but not impossible. Its difficulty is almost entirely just making sure we don’t get you hurt, which I’m sure you’ll appreciate in the long term.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Nods*
Will it be fast enough that I don't starve?
