*Laughs*
Me not stabbing you in the back for a start. But I suppose I could lend my martial skills if it becomes necessary to do so.

@ZAVAZggg

No need, my friend. There is nothing that I desire.

@Nimda

See now that's what I find hard to believe. Everyone desires something, be it to live or rule the world.

@ZAVAZggg

You're right. I just seek a bit of faith on your part in what you do not see.

@Nimda

Why? Why is faith on my part so necessary?

@ZAVAZggg

Because faith brought you to this point to begin with.

*Shrugs*
I'd describe it more as paranoia, but whatever floats your boat I guess.

You had faith that I wouldn't be able to kill you here.

@Nimda

*I nod*
Fair, I suppose. Though just because you can control dimensions or whatever it is you do, doesn't mean you could kill me. I have this ring remember? Sort of gives me an edge on my opponents.

@ZAVAZggg

In either case, I'd like to give you this ability as well.

*Blinks, though you cannot see it*
You're shitting me. Why?

As I said: I'm here to build goodwill.

@Nimda

And as I said, most people here aren't. Then again from what I've seen, you don't seem to be lying...
*Exhales loudly*
So... how's this going to go? Are we both going to hold onto a sword and transfer energy or some such?

@ZAVAZggg

No—I will open a rift to another dimension and you just need to walk through. Unfortunately, the process is extremely painful and there is unfortunately nothing I can do to reduce that.

Huh.
*Shrugs*
Well I'm used to pain. Lets do this.

@ZAVAZggg

Let's begin, then. When you walk through, everything attaching you to your home dimension will be torn from your being. Everything you've loved, hated, or used will try to pull you back. If you don't overcome that force, you will die. Are you prepared?

@Nimda

I guess. You do realize there isn't much holding me to this place to begin with though right? Kind of hard to get attached to a shitty place like this.
*Brushes some dust off my shoulder*
But I suppose I'm as ready as I'll ever be.

@ZAVAZggg

Consider it a much more physical connection than an emotional one. But that is useful, in any case.
*A tear appears in reality*
Proceed whenever you're comfortable.

*Breathes in deeply before approaching one of the tears*
Alright. Lets get this over with.
*I step through, my teeth gritted*

*When you enter, every connection you have to the prior dimension is torn—moments of your life come to your mind and memories of your past fill your thoughts*

@Nimda

*I see them, all of them, though one in particular fills my vision. I am a child again, a boy walking through brightly lit neon streets, my parents on either side. I look at all the passing colors in awe and feel a strange longing. Remembering what Vector said, I push the feeling aside, letting it go as the scene changes*
