[IC] Myriad Reality

[Artifact]

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

A number of things. But I’m hoping, given the nature of it, that I’ll see Revellyn here. With my own eyes.

@Valiance

Where do you plan to look first? Or do you know where to look first?

@Artifact

*Turns toward the larger, busier town*
Home. Going home should answer everything.

[souleaterfan320]

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

That's really the main theme of the book. If you choose to pursue "perfect" over "good enough," you may very well lose it all.
*Scootches closer to the fire*
After all, reality doesn't care about your perfect.

Shinji:
*halfheartely chuckles at the comment*

Trust me, I understand that one.... a little too well.

*As soon as you make contact, a burst of necrotic energy erupts from the metal's depths, which tugs at your lifeforce and threatens to pull you into its embrace*

@Host

*my eye emits a black, sludgy aura, a symbol carved into it. The aura eliminates any magic qualities of the energy*

You're quite the unique fighter. Allow me to meet that quality in kind.

*you find that the air around us has heated immensely over the course of a few seconds, to the point of setting any foreign body upon my person ablaze*

*my fist, now superheated, thrusts upward through you in a slicign motion*

The way you said that is a little disconcerting.

@souleaterfan320

I'd be curious to hear what you think about the book. Is he a bad father, or did he just do as much as he could?

*Pushes down onto your fist with my armored hand and follows with a hook into your jaw*
You may regret disabling magic here.

@Artifact

There is a reason. Things out of place are most notable where I am most familiar.

@Webmaster

Shinji:
The reality of the matter... from the prospective I have based on what info I have on it, is that survival comes before trivial things. You cant afford to cater to trivial things if you dont have what ypu need to live. However... regardless of survival, there are consequences to each and every action. So in a way, though the father may have saved the son's life by providing the food, the son doesnt necessarily have to forgive the father for killing his friend. Life is... a very complicated and difficult beast to master... I'd venture to say no one has.

Your hunch is that it's not real.

@souleaterfan320

Because survival is more important. Even if the son wanted to keep his friend, even if he's angry, he still ate with the rest of the family because it was his only way to survive. When life is on the line, nothing else matters.

@Host

*the hook grates against my hardened jaw like steel on steel, rather than going through it like flesh*

Maybe, but I wont regret killing you.

*unleashes a superheated ion blast into your face*

@Artifact

It’s the only logical conclusion, don’t you think?

Shinji:
Survival is the most important thing, yes. But that doesnt mean the father's actions don't come with consequences. My advice? The father shpuldve done a bit more fishing and hunting during the active season. He couldve avoided that situation as a whole.

How long do you prepare for a winter you don’t know is coming?

@souleaterfan320

*The metal becomes increasingly hot under the attack, but refuses to give*
Then face the consequences of the doomed world you have created.
*Restless spirits materialize out of nothing and enter your body, each one attacking your very self, whereas the ones that attack me are consumed by the generator*

@Valiance

Faking it to this level sounds nearly as difficult.

@Webmaster

You prepare in anticipation for as long as you think it should last. Its his duty as a father to make sure his children are well-fed and taken care of, both physically and mentally. Granted, if it were a year long winter, that would be more difficult. However, on most planets ive been on that host muptiple seasons, winter lasts aproxximately 3-5 months. Frozen beef lasts just about as long. Stock up on enough to ration throughout the time.

@Artifact

The type of people we deal with on the regular? Difficulty is never an obstacle. They just need a motivation. And Revellyn has it.

How do you think they pulled this off?
