Do you mean it's some sort of person?

@Server

I doubt it. But I guess it isn’t absolutely impossible. No, I wager it’s an artifact of whatever it is Mierno did. Assuming you don’t have other things intruding on your life you want to share.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

You mean it's not something inside this mind world?

@Server

It’s not, in the same way we aren’t.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

*The apparition appears to be of the same nature as the three of us and hovers ominously, and as soon as you cross the lip of the pit, it pulls against you with intense gravitational force*

@Server

*Clenches my fist and pulls my arm back in resistance, though does so in a way that doesn't betray any sense of struggle*
This is as foreign as we are.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

So what do we need to do to get rid of it, exactly?

@Server

First, to determine if it's even the source. I'd wager it's a manifestation, assuming it's unnatural at all. A side effect of an ailment lying elsewhere.
*Very slowly reaches my arm toward the hole while floating over the edge toward the anomaly, attempting to source its connection to something else that isn't immediately present*

*Shakes my head*
This makes me really sad.

@Server

*Rubs my chin*
Well, feeling negatively about it is a decent sign. Not definitive, but it's something.

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

I couldn't disagree with that even if i wanted to... Any more delicate approaches that we might need to at least consider?

<Snipped quote by Server>

Jade... i know this must hurt, but please try to stay focused and clearheaded. This is not your real house, just an imprint of it in your being. Your house is still out there.

Orthrus, should i attempt and close this hole? Extirpate the negative energy here? Any suggestions?

@The Odeoron

Not this far in. In for a penny, in for a pound. And as for messing with it? I'm erring on the side of caution here. Assuming this is a representation of an unnatural presence, it could have dire side effects if we just start throwing the kitchen sink at it, you know? I'd like to get a closer look first.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

I don't like that my house is gone.

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

It's missing my entire home. This is where it all was.

@Server

This thing in its place though. Not any sort of anomaly you recognize from the past?

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Yes... that...

Also Orthrus? This is not just the mind of Jade @Server... this is more like a realm made up of her entire being rendered in full metaphysical existence... that is, Mind, Emotions, Soul, Spirit, Consciousness... and several deeper layers of being. so yeah...

@The Odeoron

There’s a lot of overlap there. A lot of it behaves the same, especially when you try and look at it in such a brutish manner as we are.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Ummm... that doesn't look like a home... should i be concerned? Orhtrus @Magnanimity?

@The Odeoron

I mean, possibly? We should definitely be cautious at minimum.

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

This isn't what it's supposed to look like.

@Server

Does it look like anything that means anything to you? It might not be your home, but the mind can be a jumbled place to navigate in full consciousness like this. Could just be something out of place.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Oh...
*Nudges a warty, round fruit to the side with my foot*
I'm sorry for you.

@Server

That’s not something I’m unhappy with, as it stands. So don’t cry for me, we still have to finish looking at you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

And it's not something your father would understand if you told him you wanted to do something else?

@Server

...
Certainly not.
