Baby steps.

Not as a free-flowing liquid.

@Unhinged

Wait what?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

Mhm! You’ll see it in time. The elements cover more extreme physics principles than just acids. The easiest example is gravity-
*Holds up my hand and manifests a small orb of very faint brown energy*
The easiest example is gravity. Supremely useful if harnessed properly, or manifested by an Elemental, but it can be wildly chaotic and destructive when untamed in nature.

@Unhinged

Isn't gravity naturally...tamed?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

Not at all. But this is the only place you’ll find it in abundance. The rest of Existence runs on normal physics.
*A large six-legged bug crawls across a branch overhead, which nearly blends in to the trees itself due to having a matching green tint to the flora that also has a green miasma fluctuating through its translucent body*

@Unhinged

Ohh-Wait. Normal physics?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

The elements are formless by nature, so when they assume form, they can be molded to match properties of nearly anything. This includes water, the essence of life. So, through the Hidden Elements, you can find life whose literal essence consists of any concept the elements cover, if you look hard enough here. Some of them really are just jaw-droppingly awesome.

@Unhinged

I’m already having a hard time keeping them closed at the moment!
*laughs*
It feels like a world full of pure magic. Do the properties of these elements only work here?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

It’s a term usually used a lot less literally. The stuff here is absolutely, invariably pure. And as a result, as absolutely potent as it could be.

@Unhinged

I’m curious of the science of how this came to be, especially with the biology of the fauna around here.

*Smiles*
She’s tough. But you’re right. There are a lot, and I mean a lot of places here that aren’t built for long term living due to various natural dangers. Some of them are more surreal than this, but we should be fine here so long as the weather stays clear.

@Unhinged

Like acid rain? It’s normal in polluted places, but I feel this would be on a much more extreme level.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

Basically. It’s not 100%, but it’s about as present in what lives here as water is for most anything else. We use it for a few things, but largely you’ll find a place like this to be largely absent of any of us. It’s more inconvenient to be here long-term than it’s worth.

@Unhinged

Doesn’t seem the most hospitable if everything is able to melt you.
*looks over at Charlotte*
She seems the most vulnerable…

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

This probably happened because of an animal, actually. Even the trees are filled with this stuff.
*Leaps down off the tree and smiles*
Most everything indigenous to this area will be at least resistant to the acid effects, if they’re not outright practically made of the stuff

@Unhinged

Huh, so everything here is made of acid? How does that work? Do any of your people utilize this acid in any way?

*clambers over the tree and lands on my side when I roll over*

@Zealz

You alright?
