<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

This Ona seems pretty confident in her abilities.

@Fractured

Well, we all need confidence!

[Fractured]

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

@Mammalia

On some level, we do.

*My arms glow brightly as I begin to rip a hole in hyperspace, listening behind me as dents appear in the door*

*Whispers* This is for you, Ruby Jean. *Stares into the swirling, dark hole and takes a deep breath, diving through as it shuts behind me*

*Looks up and mumbles*
Hurry up and come back to life so I can kill you.

@Webmaster

*A few hours later I come to see you*
Heya, Love.

*The men rush into the room, but Bryson is gone*
-Man- Ears, what happened here?
-Ears- He opened a portal. I heard the rush of air and the snap. And he said a name.
-Man- What name? We need a trail!
-Ears- "Ruby Jean."

Hey dude.

@Webmaster

How have you been?

@DarkwolfX37

Sick of you trying to figure out this possession thing, as usual.

*Pushes through the fold in hyperspace as my connections to my home universe break all at once, focusing on the thought of Ruby Jean as I struggle forward, repeating her name*

@Webmaster

Well, like I said, it's gonna be tricky. But if I've learned anything over the years, it's how to split my attention. I should be able to do so with a body you'll like once Yami finishes her maturation. And until then, when I'm not stuck in unconsciousness, I can probably hold a body you'll like more than this one. I figure we've got about a year before the next bout of her taking full control.

@Efficacy

*I feel parts of me start to get hot, smoke rising from my body and disappearing into the 3D spaces that I leave as I pass through hyperspace* Come on, come on—stay together, Bryson— *Shoots out of a portal onto the snowy mountain ledge outside of the base and hits the snow hard; the portal snaps shut loudly*

@DarkwolfX37

And there's absolutely nothing you can do to, like, accelerate it?

@Webmaster

Correct. My soul is still recovering, and without her... er, brain, being fully mature I'm going to be stuck like this.

@DarkwolfX37

Your soul was always broken. Why is this any different?

@Fractured

Was that a portal? I think I felt something outside of the base.

@Mammalia

It could have been. Do you want to check?

@Fractured

Yeah, I will. *Walks toward the door*

[Fractured]

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Yeah, I will. *Walks toward the door*

@Mammalia

Do you want me to go with you? It could be dangerous.

[Efficacy]

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Yeah, I will. *Walks toward the door*

@Mammalia

*Slowly pushes myself up, my skin still smoking, burning from within* No—can't die now—*Wobbles toward the door and stumbles again, falling onto one knee*
