That was a lot to take in…

@Zealz

Tip of the iceberg my friend. But what better place could you hide a reservoir of secrets than inside the event horizon of a black hole? No one ever looks in those.

*is breathing heavily while my hands are on my knees*

@Zealz

I guess a swim through what is functionally pure liquid gravity through space into a black hole would be a bit taxing...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

*switches back and forth from freaking out and surprise throughout the whole ride, then finally sighs when it is over*

@Zealz

*Looks up into the darkness outside the protective dome*
So whatcha think?!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

*is in awe throughout the trip until I notice the end of the line and which my eyes widen and I begin to panic*

@Zealz

*Looks down at you and gives a thumbs up as we near the event horizon, the usual effects that which you’d expect just simply not occurring as we cross the threshold into the black hole where the only things visible for a brief moment are each other and the liquid. We quickly find ourselves passing another barrier, however- a dome resting around a solitary structure resting on an isolated rock which becomes visible the moment we enter. The stream of liquid splashes down into a small pool along with us as a landing*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

W-Wait!!
*hesitates for a moment and holds my breathe, jumping into the current and being taken away with you*

@Zealz

*As we both race through space in the flow of the mysterious stream, space presents itself in a sepia tome through the filter of the liquid as we ride. Below you, the stream seems to end as nothing more flows along after a certain point*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

What was that for?
*watches it fly away, turning my body with it*

@Zealz

We're going in!
*Eventually the strands if liquid flowing upward turn into a steady stream of endless flow, and the current picks me up and, after one low-effort stroke, sends my flying through the stream into the distance toward the black hole*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Oh, my bad.
*steps off the circle*

@Zealz

You’re good. Falling down into this stuff might just really hurt, like a lot.
*The bronze circle slowly rotates off to the side and opens up a hole underneath, where there rests a crystal resting in brown liquid- Though the liquid clearly doesn’t appear filthy from its coloration, it simply looks as though it is a substance naturally the color of oxidized copper. Upon being exposed to the open air, strings of the liquid begin to be pulled upward, flowing into the air and off through the sky toward the black hole*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

I can swim, but I’d just fall.

@Zealz

Oh. Then you might wanna step back off the circle real quick. Jump back in again in a second, the queue should be obvious.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

*stands behind you*

@Zealz

How do you feel about swimming? And do you float or fall?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

I will stick to you like glue.

@Zealz

That works for me.
*Steps to the side and stands over the top of a large bronze circle in the floor*
