I don't plan to. Quite the opposite, actually. See, I don't want anyone coming here to look for you. Not letting you return, no matter how we do it, would inevitably leave them to follow your trail here. And the intentions for our policies are, as you may have already guessed, meant to prevent that from happening.

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

Sounds to me like you have just from the way you've been speaking to me.

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

In the end, all that does is extend the trail others would follow. It doesn't prevent the trail from being created in the first place.

@Unhinged

What if we travelled through time by some sort of light-related shenanigans to the end of this universe, escape through the dissolving edges of reality, and travelled back through time to our starting point outside of this universe?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

So, I'd be willing to bet that they'd do anything to find you and bring you home once they know something is amiss. Is this also true?

@Unhinged

Can we not simply fly to the edge of the universe and un-travel?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

You strike me as the kind who doesn't give himself credit where it perhaps may be due.

@Unhinged

*Shrugs* I'm a victim of the whims of my creator. His whims were not complete enough for me to be anything but absurdist humour, utter aplomb in all situations, and unwavering morality. I have no idea if I've developed at all past any of those basic characteristics.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

Surely there are some. You came with people who seem to care enough for your well being.

@Unhinged

Unfortunately, I'm a bit too superficial for me to have yet established a deep relationship with anybody. There's not much "meat" to me, you see.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

Let me explain. I've encountered similar enough situations before. You are from off world. You have people out there who care for you, yes?

@Unhinged

I wouldn't go that far.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Then as long as you understand point one, let me iterate point two. I understand several reasons why we cannot punish you, period. So you will not be. At least, not in Dester Cor.

@Unhinged

That is slightly unexpected but not entirely unwelcome.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I know the parallel. Point is, no matter the circumstances, such a thing usually carries immense weight. Far more than any punishment for a crime our race has ever implemented. Whether it was done accidentally, or "for the greater good", or any combination of things, Is this point clear?

@Unhinged

Clear as I.

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

There are two things I want to make massively clear here, and the order is very important. Firstly, I want to ask. Do you realize how serious a crime interdimensional travel is here?

@Unhinged

Not in the slightest.

Shadows of Evil, my first short story, is finished! All six chapters are here. (Don't worry, Soul, there's more Shinji in chapter six.)
