School is alright. Exploring can be in interesting sometimes.

@Multifarious

Is it a traditional style of school?

*I shake my head as I land.*
Even if the inner world is a mental thing, for as far as your brain is concerned this is a world that operates under a set of rules, like any other. Your mind creates as it perceives, and perceives as it creates, kinda like that quote from Inception. So if this city was built strong, it might have been done so in parallel to some subconscious intent or reason within your mind.
But the key word there is "might", as sometimes it's just your brain filling in the gaps with something it thinks is reasonable.

Shinji:
A parallel to some embedded ideals? Interesting.

*looks around*

Well, it seems we're safe. Shall we begin searching for those shards?

*Frowns*
Doesn't using an alternate timeline defeat the purpose?

@Fractured

Dane:
Perhaps, but it does give insights to possible outcomes. Time branches out like veins, typically. In my experience, anyways.

*Shrugs*
I can't say I'm very concerned.

*it all culminates into a brief silence, then a full burst into a violin solo, with accenting piano behind it. The croud loses it, seeming overly dramatic about the spectacle*

Celesta: .... its so... beautiful...I knew they were good, but... this...

*at the base, a portal opens just outside*

Dane:... hmm. Thats peculiar.

@souleaterfan320

Is something wrong?

@Fractured

Dane: ...perhaps. there is a portal that spawned just outside of this here base. Very peculiar, indeed. Shall we inspect?

@souleaterfan320

That's up to you. I'm more than able to.

Dane:
Well, then. Let's give it a shot.

@Fractured

*as we walk up to the portal, I stop suddenly*

...ugh, Amaranthine. This is not good...

*looks to you*

...Prepare for a fight, we might be in for one. From what I've heard and seen through time, this could be highly dangerous. Especially in this timeline...

@souleaterfan320

I don't think fighting would be a wise decision.

@Fractured

Dane: do you know of the amaranthine?

@souleaterfan320

I don't.

[souleaterfan320]

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

I don't.

@Fractured

Dane:
If I may ask, what is it that you wish to avoid fighting, for? I, for one, do not advocate for fighting, but I do accept the potential of one, with my line of work.

@souleaterfan320

Because I'm not confident in our ability to be successful and the number of vulnerable people in the base.

@Fractured

Dane: truth is.. we may not have a choice. If the timeline is as far along as I think it is... we're all in trouble, right now. I didnt think it would happen, though. Not this early....

@souleaterfan320

*Flicks your forehead.*
You really do forget things quickly. I never said we were done with this first step yet.
Heck, you still have no way of interacting with the shards even if you started gathering them.
