I say go for it. Your feelings will probably be the best guide we have.

@Magnanimity

Okay!
*Wanders into the glut of the swamp, brushing past tangled roots and vines that seem precariously grown across the path*
I think there's a shortcut if we swim, but we'll get real muddy if we do.

<Snipped quote by Server>

Something that feels foreign to you, I would imagine. Something that feels like it doesn’t belong, in a place that’s literally entirely yourself should be a good indicator, yeah?

@Magnanimity

Oh, that makes total sense! Right now, it just feels like the wetlands near home. Maybe I should try to find the way there?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Absolutely.
*Holds out my index finger and manifests a ball of bright white light that floats just beyond my fingertip*
Good thing you invited us.

@Magnanimity

*Nods in response, as the light reveals a rotted boardwalk leading into the swamp, missing slats every few yards*
What are we looking for, exactly?

*Floats past the both of you, my feet drooping my the ankles and my toes just barely above the floor*
I have to admit, this does give haunted house vibes. And the kind you’d usually sign a waiver for. Mysterious and exciting!

@Magnanimity

I've come to find out that people get scared by haunted houses, but when you really think about it, wouldn't you also be upset if someone walked into your home uninvited?
*Once the path levels out, we stand in front of the forested entrance to a murky swamp, still colored chickenscratch-red by the lamp but fading quickly through its thick foliage*

Hey... i don't understand your kind of tastes, i'm a simple man. I like prairies, sunny beaches, luxurious estates, beautiful women... that last part my wife does not need to know... This to me is dingy and nightmare fuel. *I pout*

@The Odeoron

I have a cousin who goes to the beach. I like forests more though.

Guuuh... let me guess... then this must be sexy to you right?

@The Odeoron

*Frowns*
What a weird thing to say. It's just a decoration.

<Snipped quote by Server>

*coughs covering mouth* totally goth *coughs again* Uuum what? I didn't say anything...

Yeah... very... ahem... fuuuunnnn... *keeps a thumb up in false approval*

@The Odeoron

*Once we pass the light post, a pair of withered lips sprouts from its neck and issues a gurgled warning to turn back*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

*points to the interior of the lighthouse and also motions to the ocean* All of this... you are just like Prism when it comes to certain definitions. *Sighs in resignment* Edgy and Goth mean similar things, as to describe certain characters that find gloomy, dark, and what most people would consider scary, enjoyable or, how you put it... cozy!

@The Odeoron

Well, yeah—it is! Red's my favorite color, and look at all of this!
*Twirls with my hands extended*
It's like a storybook!

<Snipped quote by Server>

So... good things stand for these qualities: Honour, Love, Honesty, Selflessness, Compassion, Kindness, Empathy, Disdain for evil - which is also another word for wilful malice, willingness to defend the weak and innocent...
As long as you have any number of these qualities in you, you can be as goth and as edgy as you like in my honest opinion. In fact, i remember a being far edgier than you making it into heaven a good century back or so...

@The Odeoron

Edgy? What do you mean by that?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

*Shrugs nonchalantly and carefree* As i said. You just have dark energy. That can mean any number of things.

@The Odeoron

Good things, right?
