Ugh... Not me! My people and i! Yes, this thing, whatever this place is, has played a role in the destruction of my home. Well, thankfully my planet and its federation has managed to establish colonies across this galaxy beyond the powers of whatever is destroying stars here... I'm just a general of my people trying to investigate what this is...

@Interface

...Meh. Fine.
*Slams another ball bearing against the stone and it becomes like liquid around you*

What are the odds to... ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Are we going to debate probability equations in the middle of a building that is out of space and time? And what if i told you that i was among the people who asked for help here because this cosmic event participated in the destruction of my home?!?! *I frown annoyed*

@Interface

Yes, I am; I value my life more than I care about how gravity works in this world. So you're saying you were the one who posted the quest?

<Snipped quote by Source>

Followed you? What do you mean *I blink consternated while im still stuck* Hey, i'm here for my own reasons... wait you are the guys from that tavern thingy! I could say you followed me now can't i? But in all seriousness... i'm stuck in here...

<Snipped quote by Memory>

uuugh... well hello to you too i guess...

@Interface

*Walks over to you*
You could explain why you're here first, and then we can decide to let you go. What are the odds that you showed up without following us?

Uuh... hey guys *Waving awkwardly from far in the tight corridor as i'm stuck in the shortened corridor* Can you help me out a bit here? *Chuckles sheepishly*

@Interface

*Cuts my eyes toward you*
You followed us. Why?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

Doesn't mean i have to like it though... *Keeps on moving forward but with nearly undue caution scanning the aura of the place every so often for potential traps, or anything that can explain what this place might be*

@The Odeoron

*As we walk along silently, the corridor becomes more narrow, eventually becoming claustrophobic, but the hall is otherwise completely featureless*

<Snipped quote by Source>

*Looks at you with a 'seriously?' expression on my face* A castle... upside-down, in space... or up side to planet surface *Points to the planet above us* and the quest mentioning a mysterious cause that causes solar systems to 'collapse'...

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Give me an alternative then man!

@The Odeoron

Yes. But this is just a castle. Probably trapped, probably dangerous. But not a castle worth freaking out about.

<Snipped quote by Source>

Uh... hey Prism... this stinks eldritch all over...

@Source *Looks at you concerned and amused at the same time* Yeah, call me biased, i'm a traumatised fellow! This stinks like evil! Call it different if you like, i call it... we need to either bomb the place out or yeet back to safety!

@The Odeoron

It's a castle?

*Blinks at you two in a confused amusement way* Sheesh! You should get a room guys! This has magical chemistry all over hahaha! *I proceed to ghost through the wall*

@The Odeoron

Yeah, chemistry. Plastic explosives.
*Steps into the liquid stone and emerges on the other side, revealing a grand palace opened to the blue sky with burning torches on stone gray pillars*

<Snipped quote by Source>

Dude she just, point blank, trolled you like that... are you just going to let it pass like that? Phhhhh! Anyway *Proceeds to become translucent preparing to ghost through the wall*

@The Odeoron

<Snipped quote by Source>

—And he knows he can't get rid of me.

@Meta

That too.
*Takes another ball bearing, and from it erupts a brown magic circle that induces the stone to adopt a liquid consistency*

She knows she needs me—
