*Raises an eyebrow*
Earned? Show me?

@Valiance

I’ll show you the real reason I joined as a general. Just let me know when you’re done here.

[Heroic]

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

I see. Ideally, this process will be simple enough. I’d rather not cause unneeded labor.

@Legend Begins

It’ll take a lot for me to call whatever we’re doing labor, honestly.

*Looks down at my plate for a moment, takes one more bite, then scoots away from the counter and stands up*
Okay. I’m in.

*Shrugs*
That’s the neat part.

@Legend

Ah!
*kicks you into the water, and multiple blue runes line your body from contact, and I dive in after you with the same runes on my body*

@Valiance

*Taps my index finger to my thumb until a twisted, hazy portal reluctantly sparks to life on my left*
I still can’t hold this open for long.
*Steps through*

*Crosses my arms and pouts as I sink*

*taps my head and points to you, making a question mark out of bubbles that I wrote*

@Legend

*only air passes through and you find that the oxygen is surprisingly crisp and fresh, I look at you writing out “can we mind link to speak?”*

@Heroic

Still, it does not go unnoticed.
*Taps at a computer screen, causing large orbs of light to manifest over the pillars*

*Taps my finger to my lips, then nods*

@Legend

*writes a rune on my head that glows and I tap it with two fingers that create a bright blu and white light and I swish my fingers at you, the ball of light firing at your head and a string follows, when I speak, my voice sounds as if you have headphones on*
Hello?

@Legend Begins

*Watches a them nonchalantly*
Care to explain what it is we're doing more specifically than just anti-Amaranthine things?

@Extra

*As soon as you establish the connection, deafeningly loud chaotic pop music blares across the line*

@Heroic

I don’t know your role, but I happen to be researching the properties of the Amaranthine and how its power might be harnessed.

@Legend Begins

I was asked to hit things.

*Silently follows you through*

@Valiance

*We step into a thick forest, but all trees are cut off halfway up the trunk, and a canopy of swarming insects obscures the sky except in a perfect circle above us, and in the distance an orange-red planet imposes an oppressive force on this one, connected by thick bands of an unidentifiable shadowy material*
We can’t stay here long.
*My pupils twitch into reptilian slits*

@Artifact

*Stares at the insects for a moment*
Tch… Bugs.
*Takes in the rest of the sights, turning slowly in a full circle as I do*
Is this what they did?
