Yeah, it doesn't look like we can fall. I hope not.
*The bony steps start descending toward the bottom of the lighthouse and I lose my balance on the first one, not expecting the sudden decline*

@Server

*Reaches toward you, and a translucent, disembodied arm that slowly grows to full transparency at the elbow manifests behind you, grabbing your shirt collar to help you stabilize*

<Snipped quote by Session>

*Nothing usable exists within the planet’s energy reserves in this layer, as if they’ve entirely left behind and the ground itself is a husk of what truly is*
A doctor who’s chosen the wrong side.
*The muscles in my arms tense up before I open up my hands and unleash charged streams of black flame from each while spinning in a circle*

@Inimical

Be that as it may!
*Ducks into the ground and the particles clear from your eyes, and what appears to fill your vision is a lush forest with myself standing next to a waterfall running into a clearing*
Catch me if you can!

If you mean the bones thing? No... for me it was that sun-like light trail as i hovered. For Orthrus... he just seemed to have hovered here without any trace of anything.

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Nope! *I grin over the top* This is exploring Jade's being... from mind to emotion to soul to subconscious to spirit etcetera...

Until we find what exactly ails her... this is going to be an adventure! *Rubs my hands fully giddy with passion*

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

*Preps myself just in case* Hey! Don't jinx this! This might look like a lighthouse on the outside, but that is everything related to Jade in there... it could be a whole world for all we know...

@The Odeoron

An adventure in dilated time. At least it usually is.
*Clears my throat*
It almost definitely is a whole world.
*Glances down over the ledge toward the bottom*
Unless you think a swift drop might be better?

@The Odeoron

Where does it take us when we go inside?

Woah—

Thank you so much!

Stalking is a crime.

@Magnanimity

I... don't think the ocean is our destination Orthrus... Whoah! *I reel back at seeing colossal bone monsters reeling their skulls against the pillar of stone on which the lighthouse is built* Yeah... that... that is a representation of Jade's hunger and decay...

@Server

Well... very likely inside your inner world and being... whatever is inside there... only you may truly be familiar with. It most definitely is not a lighthouse inside that's for sure.

@The Odeoron

Does that mean it's dangerous?

@Server

Well, think of it this way... are you dangerous?

One step at a time.

@The Odeoron

There’s an awful lot going on down there, that’s for sure. But I agree, I’d rather check out- Well, not that.

@Magnanimity

The lighthouse. I'm fairly sure, that even if we do manage to kill one of those beasts, another one will just appear. There are probably an infinite amount of them, as they are created by Jade's decay and hunger. As long as that is still a problem, the ocean is not going to change. @Server

@Magnanimity

I thought nothing here could hurt us. Can't we just go in, then?

[The Odeoron]

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

I don't think so.

@Server

Technically speaking nothing can kill us... but we can get hurt, though the damage is minimal back in the real world. If we do get tackled and killed too often... it's like that saying of "Death by a thousand cuts"... Unless your curse thingy proves to have its defences. that could potentially be more harmful.

@The Odeoron

That does start to scare me... it's not the first time he's cursed me.

Well... now see... that reeeaaaaly makes me hate this guy even more now.

I plan to browse. That man took a plain magical tool that I had.
