*A translucent version of my face shows up in your peripheral like a heads-up display*
Reading you loud and clear.

Well then... that settles it... The quest giver is dead, and whatever killed them, was strong enough to take me out too... that is concerning...

@The Odeoron

Nothing to lose, then!
*Jumps into one of the four circles of spinning text*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Damn... that sounds seriously ominous!

@The Odeoron

You know, I get the impression we should be jumping into those circles then!!

<Snipped quote by Memory>

I can be a good or bad thing depending how you see it.

@Path

Ghaah! Something is VERY wrong here!!!! What is happening? *I cough in pain as i lose connection with my copy*

@The Odeoron

Hey, you good??

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

Translation complete. Text reads "Welcome brave heroes, and thank you for answering our call. Because you stand here, the evil has not yet reached you. We are a slow people, yet devastation has befallen us quickly, for we face an unimaginable foe." Would you like me to summarize or continue?

@Meta

Highlight reel!

I don't know but this feels aimless at this point! *My original self engages the tesseract for any potential threat*

@The Odeoron

*No threat materializes other than the connection to your other self*

*the first me responds here* And what if we get killed here? Have you thought about what is the price of pride?

@The Odeoron

*Turns my head to look at you*
Are you sure you're cut out to be an adventurer?
*The square explodes, coating the infinite plane in green and orange light; at the same time, symbols like text fill up the air and hover in a circle around varying points in the plane, while at the same time the previous star points return, but magnified, as if dozens of translucent planets, galaxies, and solar systems filled the space*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

So he was right to retreat then... wait why did you wanted continue in spite of the warnings?

@The Odeoron

We take pride in our work.
*A handful of ball bearings melt and coat my hand in a dark, metallic substance with magic circles of varying colors running up the palm and fingers, and I reach into the square*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

Uh... yeah... this is... hey are you sure we are safe to continue here?

@The Odeoron

Not at all. Lily, analyze.

<Snipped quote by Source>

*The first me follows suit* Onwards it is cap'! Damn this place is just another nightmare and somebody please wake me up now!

@The Odeoron

I'm sure glad I didn't see whatever it is you two saw.
*Finally, all that's left is the warmth and a spinning emerald-green circle that appears two-dimensional, but faces you no matter where you walk, on top of an infinite reflective floor polished to a glasslike finish*

*Sputers* uuuh... uhh... alright! Good luck to you all! *Starts skipping down the stairs*

@Interface

*As you walk down, the world reverses the changes you experienced on the way up for your perspective*
Full speed ahead for us.
