*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."

@Efficacy

*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*

Myriad Reality

*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*

*Takes two steps with you*

@DarkwolfX37

Would you like to try the same to get us back to the portal? It’s okay if you’d like to train in the tracks for that first, as large-area transformations do take some practice.

Oooh. *Looks around*

@DarkwolfX37

*The arches are flashing on and off as people exit and enter them, but there are very few people in the middle of the platform at any given moment; rather, most people seem to be crossing the wide area extremely rapidly, walking more slowly close to the arch* Watch my transformation carefully. *Decreases the speed of light in the space in front of it and it contracts drastically so that the stairs at the end of the platform are immediately visible* Take two steps forward with me. *Takes the steps forward and arrives at the other side of the platform*

I dunno! However long it takes, I guess!

@DarkwolfX37

Then let us go! *A portal opens in front of us and I lead you through; we exit out of an arch onto a large circular platform filled with many more arches at the centre of a bustling city, full of low but large buildings of all shapes, most dark but some metal, glass, or different shades of purple* Welcome to the Velvet Nexus!

Okay! How long will that take?

@DarkwolfX37

It depends on which tracks you take and how fast of a learner you are. How long do you have?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

Good!

@DarkwolfX37

Then, as independently as I am training you, we are going to the training centre of the Velvet Planet, and we will start sending you through the tracks for specific particles, fields, skills, and so on.

That's cool!

@DarkwolfX37

Very much so! But let us take stock of the tools you've learned: you can move particles in most directions, manipulate fields and the energy contained therein, and extract and insert energy in general. These are the building blocks of all the tools in a Velvet Scribe's arsenal. How do you feel so far?

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

Huh. *Sits down again and thinks for a while* Aha! *Moves the field of the gravitons in the area to move the ball slightly*

@DarkwolfX37

Good! As you get used to the tools you have--and there are often many in an area--you can use them cleverly to do all kinds of things. For aeons, the world of Velvet Scribes has been collecting data on unique particles, fields, and energies that we can manifest and use for all sorts of purposes; when you are well-trained, you will gain access to our library and be able to make and use all of those tools.
