Myriad Reality

Oh, It does. But somehow making a map helps anyways, when I try to go back later.

@Phase

Sounds miserable. I wouldn’t want to be lost like that.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

I can control it… kind of. If I try to go find something, I might eventually. Or I could find some similar place, or something completely random, or…
-So it isn’t easy.
The maps help, so whenever I find a place that’s interesting or could be important, I try to map it.

@Phase

It doesn’t change behind you, like a labyrinth?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

No, but changes like that happen more often.

@Phase

You have no way to control it?

Myriad Reality

*Looks up at the sky, and then back at my notebook, and starts to map out this new area.*
Like, when I was exploring that mansion, I think I changed dimensions back there. I think I opened that door and boom. I was suddenly in a similar mansion somewhere else, and then you were pointing a gun at me.

@Phase

Do the new worlds have to look similar to where you came from?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

Actually, sometimes it can be quite similar, but usually the changes around me are more subtle.

@Phase

Subtle? Subtle how?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

*Looks around, examining our new surroundings*
How do you go back?

@Phase

Exact same way we left. I guess this isn’t how you travel?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

*Looks up from my notebook and just watches as you finish opening whatever kind of portal this is*

@Phase

*The old world shrinks back like the turning pages of a book, leaving us here*
Another world I haven’t been before. I’ve never hit the same one twice.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

Where are we going?

@Phase

*Exhales barely perceptibly, reminiscing*
...Who knows?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

*watches in awe*
Is this how you go between dimensions?
*Turns back to my notebook and begins to map this new change*

@Phase

It’s how I did... once upon a time. My sister and I would get up each day and look for new worlds to explore.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

*Watches as you do so*

@Phase

It’s been a long time...
*The mansion splits apart horizontally like folded paper, and a grassy field takes its place, adorned with the buzzing of insects and a warm breeze*
