Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*The rock is swallowed up as soon as it crosses the boundary line between light and darkness and becomes immediately undetectable*

@Memory

*Claps twice and stares expectantly down at the darkness below*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*The only response is the wind whistling across the sandy terrain amidst the setting suns on either side of the horizon*

@Memory

*Mumbles*
Make my job difficult…
*Puts my hands in my pockets and stares blankly into the abyss as a a small metallic ball appears in a flash of light, floating in the air with a pair of halos spinning around it perpendicular to each other*
…
*Picks up a rock nearby and drops it into the darkness below*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*The signal brings you to the edge of a black ravine with an intense inwardly pull applied to anything below surface level, as if the very substance of the pit were designed to prevent anything from exiting*

@Memory

*Looks up and around, speaking to seemingly no one*
Is there any chance you’re here?

Myriad Reality

*Takes a deep breath, and then flips open a round, silver gadget to take a look at the reading inside, as it takes a moment to initialize before signaling back to me traces of the last object it was assigned to be linked to*

Myriad Reality

*Shuffles exhaustedly through the front door of my family home and closes it behind me, collapsing backward against it and sliding to a sitting position against it on the floor*
Mom?… Vi?
*After a moment of quiet, I rest my forehead against my knees and close my eyes, eventually falling asleep right where I sit*

Myriad Reality

*looks around*
Isaac?

@Ignacious

*Silence returns your call*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*logs out and appears back at your lab*

@Ignacious

*By the time you return to the real world yourself, the lights are back to normal, the server is laid resting on the table by a computer along with the Darwin Box, and the lab is completely empty*

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Tempo!!
*Meets you halfway and pulls you into an embrace*
It’s really you.

@Server

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

*The shimmering fades and leaves me standing, taking in my surroundings*
Y—

<Snipped quote by Server>

Rhythm!
*Takes off running toward you*

@Webmaster

*My smile turns slightly somber as I watch you*

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*does the same with Tempo and steps back*

@Ignacious

*Shifts my gaze over to you, nods once, and logs out of the server*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Grins*
Hey.
*My gaze bounces from you, to Cure, and then lands fixated on Tempo*

@Server

I think you two have some catching up to do.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*In a shimmer of light, the freezing effect is removed and I gracefully touch down before opening my eyes*

@Server

*Lowers my arm back to my side and musters a smile*
