*Runs through, pulling the phone out of your hand when I do*

@Legend

*Sighs and speaks as I approach the gateway*
Your excitement is giving me bad vibes about all this, man...
*Steps through*

@Audacious

*We land on a dark and stony asteroid field with a yellow sun shining in the distance*
Wo—oah!
*Catches my balance*
Guess your aim was a bit off?

@Legend

*Narrows my eyes and feels out the makeup of the asteroid and any space rocks in relatively close proximity*

@Audacious

*The asteroid itself seems to be made of igneous rocks, and the surrounding asteroids similarly lack complex structures, some of which house strange powdery mounds and others unusual formations of carbon in minuscule quantities*
Looks like the "they move around" hypothesis was right. Good thing we have other worlds we can still check.

*Attempts to gauge if the carbon presence contains complex organic material, DNA or anything indicating life*

@Audacious

You good over there?
*Nothing biological of note enough to gauge from this distance appears to remain, but the carbon coats the surface of smooth stones with flowing grooves much like those eroded by water*

<Snipped quote by System>

*allows all of your water within me, only to superheat it within my body with my energy, causing it to bubble into steam, and exit my body through what could be described as pores*

is that all you have, one of water? Truly dissapointing.

*flits toward you, stopping a mere fewi nches from your face, before shoving a ball of energy with the collective heat and eergy of a sun directly into your form, releasing it violently*

as for you, machine one... you will suffer the most. I will dissassemble you, bit by bit, piece by piece, and render every atomic particle within you useless.

*dashes towards you, but shinji flits in front of you, blocking the hit barely with my blade one handed, my other hand and arm limp from blodd loss and pain*

Shinji: Don't count me out, big guy.

@souleaterfan320

*Rockets out from behind Shinji to the right, and suddenly zig zags into a hard 90 degree turn straight at you, re-manifesting the energy blade around my arm and slashing through your abdomen as I rocket past you in my path*

[The Odeoron]

<Snipped quote by Server>

*A couple of metallic arms descend from the ceiling once the space is cleared, each possessing a scanner, that spin around you in tandem with yet opposite each other, analyzing you up and down, sending data on your anatomy to my own computers*
How are you feeling?

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

Eyes on the goal, champ. In fact, why don’t you and your pal go ahead and head out through decontamination?
*Tilts my head in a gesture to a small metal bulkhead doorway*
You’ll still be able to watch but I will likely need the room clear.

@Melodious

Sure thing doc! *Composes myself and my demeanour becomes less obviously interested yet still friendly - Makes my way to decontamination*

*Looks at the technology then to you Orthrus @Magnanimity* This is just like what the Terran Dominion used back at my place! Top notch space medical equipment... well, give or take a few design choices, and the fact that this is most surely from another reality...

[The Odeoron]

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

*Raises an eyebrow and slowly my head toward you, my expression a conflicted, lighthearted mix between amusement and disappointment*

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Sure thing. I’m not opposed.
*Makes my way over to the doors*

@Magnanimity

*Shrugs with false innocence - then responds telepathically* Hey... a man is still going to be a man even when he's 400 years old... no regrets! *Grins slightly so as to not be overtly visible*

[The Odeoron]

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

She gave me a really good job.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Mostly hungry. Hungry and tired.

@Server

That is rather cute... honestly! I can't say exactly how does getting a good job makes you best friends with the boss... but then again, i haven't seen all aspects of life yet... probably never will.

*Speaks from decontamination*

Yeah, she said the same to us. We spotted what looked like an anomalous source of energy in her metaphysical being right at the heart of her being that turned that place into a bottomless pit... almost like a black hole. Orthrus tried to interact with it, but it reacted very hostile to him!@Melodious

@Galaxy Raider

*breaks through the ice Abby coated me in, and moves to guard with my free arm, using the arm I have gripping Shinji's blade to dig my fingers into the sword, crakcing it before throwing shinji and the swaord into you*

Fools. The lot of you.

*having absorbed a bit of energy from your blade attack, I form amaranthine energy spikes from my nails, creating daggerlike nails, and I take a stance, positioning my fingers in a knifehand style*

You leave yourselves far to open to attack. Its almost embarrasing.

*flits to Kat, stabbing her and shinji through the stomach*

@souleaterfan320

*Catches Shinji in my arms, but then gasps as I'm impaled in the stomach. I stretch one arm out and rapidly charge a blast while wrapping my other arm around Shinji's waist, blasting you with a bright beam of light while using the momentum to eject us outward and out of the skewer you put us in*

@Galaxy Raider

*puts my free hand in front of my face, absorbing the blast as I rip my other arm from your intestines, and proceed to spinkick you to the side of your head with earth shattering force*

allowing your comrade to take a fatal wound, how nice of you.

@The Odeoron

So you say.
*My voice comes in through an intercom speaker inside the decontamination chamber, as you're both sprinkled in a shower of a liquid that steams on contact with your body without feeling hot at all, and evaporates within seconds of being on your body, leaving you completely dry*
I do believe what I'm seeing corroborates that observation. Well done, you two.

@Server

And how do you feel normally, compared to that?

@Legend

Just focused. It may look like I'm doing nothing, but every single time we jump into a totally new dimension, I have a whole sea of stuff to process coming in. I'm mentally built for it, is the best way to put it, but having a huge range of awareness about the identity and properties of every particle around takes a minute to take in, you know?

[LimeTime966]

<Snipped quote by LimeTime966>

Who?

@Webmaster

For starters there's that psycho who made an entire multiverse for his sick game...I forgot his name...

Aren't there, like, infinity particles everywhere? That's really amazing.

It shows I can trust her, right?

Eh? Sounds like he's doing the same thing as you.
