*stops and looks at you with concern*

@Spiritblitz

Please... make sure my brother's okay. I've... I've never seen him like this.

@Session

*looks at you then your arm then awkwardly pats your arm and holds your hand*
Y-yeah. I will make sure he is good.
*smiles awkwardly in a genuine attempt to comfort you*

@Session

*turns around and stops right before entering the sand waterfall and turns back to you*
This has a lot of meaning to my family, it’s sort of an oath I guess.
*stick out my pinky*
I pinky promise to do my best for not only me, but Time Line as well.

You're going to need to learn how to think across time. That's no easy task.

@Techspert

Oh, we are starting the lessons already. Got it, yeah. Think across time…kinda like predicting the movements of someone?

@Spiritblitz

Time is an enormous construct that requires a completely different way of thinking. You saw how easily Brenna slipped through close attacks. But if you're not careful, you'll slip and time will be your downfall.

*The creatures stare at you, unblinking*

@Artifact

*Closes my eyes*
Either way…
*Slowly extends my arms forward and grips at the air, space itself physically warping at my fingertips

@Valiance

*You find that it interacts normally, the same as being on the planet physically*

@Spiritblitz

Here's your first test. And you need to listen carefully. One wrong move in this world and you're dead. So you need to do everything I say when you're in the sands or the waters, and if I say it, I mean it. I'm not going to kid around in here. Got it?

@Artifact

*My expression strains and my muscles flex, the aberrations of reality itself beginning to grow more severe and destructive*

@Techspert

Why? Putting me immediately in a situation where I have no context of even starting to think in terms of time as a something different would almost certainly guarantee my death. Show me how you think, how you flow within the confines of time.

… What’s the goal of this exactly?

@Magnanimity

No matter what the circumstances are, this place is an abomination. It has to go. And if the anathemic creature goes with it, all the better.

@Spiritblitz

Because this first test teaches me something about you, and something important. It could have saved several lives had I turned away students who failed.
