Ahhhhh, fine.
*Grabs a few snacks out of my bag and takes a quick detour into the house*
Hey, thanks for your help. Keep up your strength.
*Tosses a few snacks to the residents and moves back to the car and turns it on before starting toward the direction of the pools, humming to myself*

@Session

Good luck.
*One of the snacks lands on my leg and slides slowly to the floor without my reaction. Nothing else happens on the way out to the car or away from the camp*

Myriad Reality

The omniverse in our setting is not anchored to a unified time. Some places are in the far flung past compared real life, others are even farther in the future. It’s on a dimension-by-dimension basis.

Suddenly your safe haven doesn't seem so safe...

@Session

Rea: You don’t have to tell me…
Curtis: We’ll handle it. Lynn, just stick to the path.

Last thing...
*Separates the mental energies being attacked into their own requisite layers, including physically driven energies, emotional energies, metaphysical energies, among others, and compares the concentration of burning between each layer*

@Session

*It heavily favors the incorporeal*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by N Mity>

*Checks the range of their area of effect*

@Session

*It doesn’t present itself as being any more than several feet*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by N Mity>

*My energies begin to emit small pulses that resonate with other life forces, searching for the possibility of a living creature that may be sustaining the flames, while at the same time searching the planet below me exploring any indication of the land itself being alive*

@Session

*Nothing indicates the likelihood of either- the flames themselves seem self-sustaining, using all it burs as a fuel source in itself*

Myriad Reality

*Sits down, crosses my legs, and closes my eyes, folding my palms together and extending my middle and index fingers, as well as my thumb*
Hey you, if this kills me, give this to the IA. I've got a transmitter you can use.
*Retrieves a notepad from my toolbag and scribbles down some notes before taking a deep breath and starting to separate my own energies within myself, point by point, isolating those burning to the left from those untouched to the right*

@Session

*Looks down at the note before grabbing a folding chair within arms reach, pulling it over to myself and almost falling into it*
Sure...
*No force actively impedes you from doing so, but no matter how efficiently your internal life forces become organized and separated from each other, something intangible continues to cause decay to all, as though the harm is being done to more than just your life itself*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by N Mity>

I'm about to be a whole lot more focused. The good news for you is that your body's fine.
*Changes the view to that of spheres of influence, triggering a hazy, liquidy aura that replaces the movement of particles where more concentrated regions become thicker, deeper, and more opaque, and looks for a correlation between the burning mental energy and its proximity to more concentrated black energy*

@Session

*The correlation appears to be exactly what you would expect- The volume of the former has no influence on the burning, but the "surface area" over which it occupies does have a positive correlation*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by N Mity>

*Projects the mental energy force across the body and tracks the rate of burning as it applies to different body parts*

@Session

*This variable seems to not influence the rate of anything that is happening*
You seem to-
*Coughs*
Be deep in th... In thought.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by N Mity>

*Separates the life forces by their nature, including the body's various systems, foreign viral agents, and mental energies to observe how the black force interacts with each category*

@Session

*It doesn't seem to interact with any of the former in a vacuum but ravenously eats away at the latter*
