Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by N Mity>

*Separates the black force in each of us from the rest of our life forces, first looking for any other anomalies, and then observing its movement and behavior and comparing them both*

@Session

*It acts as though its consuming other life forces as it permeates itself, and as its motion is outlined and analyzed, it can be made out to be fluctuating in the exact same manner as a flame would*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by N Mity>

Alright, now we're starting to get somewhere.
*Cracks my knuckles and the points are replaced with fading trails indicating the paths of each particle's movement, muddling the resolution of the images but enhancing their temporal information*

@Session

*The energy of the force seems to manifest with a very short lifespan, each dying before a new one replaces it and repeats the process in rapid succession*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by N Mity>

*Takes several steps away and looks to see whether there's any pathogenic exchange between the two of us*

@Session

*There is nothing to read*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by N Mity>

*Checks for any area of higher concentration in either of our bodies*

@Session

*The intensity fluctuates wildly but is on average evenly distributed across out entire bodies with no distinguishable features*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by N Mity>

I'll explain later. This could be the only chance we get.
*Separates the two life forces and traces the movement of the black particles to their source on you*

@Session

*Nothing seems fully committed to anything material. The force in question actually seems to be much more rooted in the ethereal*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by N Mity>

Don't flip out on me, but this is our best bet.
*Flings off the eyepatch and projects my own lifeforce around me and forces my palm against your forehead doing the same to you, with the particles bursting from the back of your head*

@Session

*Does little to resist, almost seeming to have a supremely delayed reaction to your action in itself*
... Huh?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by N Mity>

How about you just relax for a few.
*Quickly takes the opportunity to look for the source and flow of concentrations of the force*

@Session

*The spread does in fact seem to have come from myself, but not exclusively. It bears enough of a signature to deduce that it exists in the ground and in the air around as well, despite its lack of taking a hold until now. I nod slowly*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by N Mity>

*Pays close attention to any internal changes on contact*
Just test subjects. You could be the cure to this disease once and for all.

@Session

*A sudden burst of black seems to immediately have made itself at home amidst the balance of forces you once had, going from nonexistent moments before to all-encompassing and everywhere*
That sounds rea-
*Wheezes and takes a few breaths as I hunch over, clearly winded*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by N Mity>

Ah, hello there!
*Walks to you with my hand extended so you don’t have to leave the door*
The name’s Lynn. I’m a doctor sent by the IA.

@Session

*Meagerly reaches out and takes your hand, musters a pitiful attempt at a handshake, and drops it*
We heard… Is there any-
*Takes a deep breath*
Thing we can help with?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Crew>

*Checks my lifeforce one last time before putting the eyepatch back on and stepping out of the vehicle, surveying the land*

@Session

*After a long delay, the door to the central shack swings open wildly and I stumble out*
Thought I heard some...
