Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Removes the lugers from the case, along with fitted holsters and stows them away on my hip, then grabs a device from a nearby table and straps it to my wrist like a watch*

@GalaxyRaider

*A portal spirals to life in front of me, and I look it up and down in hesitation before clenching my fists and stepping through*
...
*On the other side, I step into a world seemingly dead. A ruin lies nearby, of a temple shattered to pieces as an IA ship crashed to the planet and sat in ruin where it used to stand. For as far as the eye can see, more wrecked ships and various artifacts of war litter the landscape*

Myriad Reality

*Sweeps other stuff carelessly to the side and pulls forward a small black case, which I dust off and blow on, revealing an calligraphic inscription with the letters “A.W.” I unlatch the case and open it up, staring at the two golden lugers resting in velvet cloth, for some time*

*Flips a switch and shuts off the light illuminating the suit so it can no longer be seen in its storage unit, and, after taking a deep breath, walks over to a different shelf and rummages through a mess of books and doohickeys for something hidden*

Myriad Reality

*Saunters reluctantly up to a metal pod containing my signature armor and glances inside, bags under my eyes. After only moments, I wince and snap my gaze away, leaning with one arm against the pod and looking down at the floor*

*Looks out across the ocean*
Some party...

@Session

*Slumps my shoulders once I’m alone, and slides into a seat at a desk, grasping my head in my hands and breathing rapidly*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I will.
*Three-finger waves*
Thanks for looking out for me.

@Session

*Waves back, walking backward through the portal which whirs closed after I am through*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Cracks a smile*
Right back at you.

@Session

Seriously.
*Snaps and points at you as a portal whirls open behind me*
I mean it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I guess until then...
*Extends a hand*

@Session

*Takes your hand, but instead of shaking it I yank you forward and give you a brotherly hug*
Call me if you feel even an inkling of things starting to get worse.

*Smiles*
There's always something else, it seems.

@Session

Tell me about it.
