I don’t want to either. But if it left a trail, it could be the best route.
*Puts my phone away*
Doesn’t matter though. Nothing.

@Audacious

Can we alter that somehow to track signals moving through dimensions instead of people?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

My dad made a way to check the stability of spacetime or some nonsense like that, some time ago. I’m not sure how special tech like that is, but it’s meant to track people jumping across space with teleportation and stuff. You can take it a step further and try and reopen the same tear to follow someone, but I don’t think we’ll have that kind of luck here.

@Audacious

I don't think I'd want to reopen one here. Like, at all.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I don’t know for sure about that. But we’re probably not interacting with anything the same way as the last place.
*Pulls my phone out and holds it out in front of me, scanning for any distortions recent enough that a portal or warp of some kind might have been torn open in the fabric of space to travel*

@Audacious

*Whisps of long-faded distortion are present but nothing remotely recent*
What's that do?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I’m pretty sure everything is destroyed. There’s not a single thing here that doesn’t feel just utterly disgusting.

@Audacious

So you're thinking this is a lost cause? I mean, if the error came from here it's probably busted.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I’m not touching it or anything, unless you think getting rid of the stuff might help.

@Audacious

Probably not. I think the big question is just if anything is left. Or if we can find any clues about another relay.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Walks closer to the spire, and the prionized ground gives way to small round islands of normal ground beneath my feet with each step*
Is it inert now?

@Audacious

It shouldn't be instantly deadly. I don't know if it still does anything though.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Looks up and down the length of the connecting column*
What do you think is the purpose of this?

@Audacious

I'll bet it's to spread the infection. His power makes him contact anything he wants to destroy.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

That is what happens when I refuse to even touch this stuff anymore if I can help it.
*Shudders as a chill surges down my spine, and shakes my head*
Where were we?

@Audacious

Um, trying to figure out what we can do here. I'm a little scared to touch anything, but it all seems to be inactive.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Pulls myself to my feet and dusts myself off*
At a certain point I just need to move on. Can only get so far by dwelling.
*Looks down at my feet and flashes a look of disgust at the ground, then watches the prionized effect “melt” away in a circle around my feet like snow exposed to flame*

@Audacious

Woah! What is that?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Plants my palms flatly against the ground at my sides and sits still for a couple of minutes*
Okay.

@Audacious

That was fast. You don't need to push it.
