*My face appears on the monitor with my cheeks puffed out*
Rude.

@Multifarious

Are you here to watch me? Er, Chickey, was it?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Maybe I can be convinced when I have time to take the briefing on world politics right now. But I’ve wasted enough time here.
*Waves as I turn my back and head through the portal*
Mess with anything you shouldn’t and you’ll have more trouble than you’d ever ask for.

@Valiance

Yeah yeah.
*Waves my hand*
I don’t like computers anyway.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I’m not attacking anyone. Honestly, I don’t care who wins that silly little war. I don’t know what any of you stand for. I’m just minimizing losses. If he wants to come for me to stop me from doing that, then he’s going to have a problem.

@Valiance

*Groans*
Fine. I’ll do it myself when this wears off.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Does the motion for you to calm down with my hand again*
No attack. I said you were a good bar.

@Valiance

While you’re at it, watch out for that guy. His stupid sword is the only reason he’s ranked above me. I want to see him torn down.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Will keep it in mind. Though, if your ranks correspond to your combat abilities at all, I’m not worried about most of them. You were a good bar to measure from.

@Valiance

*Scowls*
I was also busy collapsing a dimension and managing a team, you know!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Catches it*
The power boosting device you drained?

@Valiance

They don’t store any power themselves. Using it lets you boost your abilities far past your normal limits, but at the cost of exhausting yourself once you’ve used it all. Break it for all I care, but know that pretty much everyone has one.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Mm?

@Valiance

*Tosses you a small disk with a button at its center*
Do whatever you want with this, I’m done using them. I would have gotten much further without it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I don’t think I’d want to.
…
*Walks away from the terminal and opens a portal*
Think about your plans. Tell me about them when I get back. Or disappear, it’s up to you. You’re not under any obligations.

@Valiance

...Hey, one thing before you go.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Not any one person. Not by a longshot.
*Displays of various locations of conflict as a result of this war become displayed on monitors across the center console, and I turn to face you*
Your hand going to grow back? Got any starfish in your blood?

@Valiance

I’ll get the hand back. I lose fingers all the time—you get used to it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

It’s all beyond me. I don’t know anything about the inner workings.

@Valiance

Who made this, then?
