*Nods*
I don't think I ate one, at least.

@Server

<Snipped quote by Server>

You didn’t. But for all intents and purposes, we’re going to treat this as a parasite just like that.

@Melodious

Analogy it is... but what if this physical thing, was created with something other than just infecting the host indirectly?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

What does that mean the problem really is?

@Server

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

That’s all well and good, but it’s definitely manifested from a physical power. The roots are mind and body.

<Snipped quote by Server>

You ever heard of a tapeworm, where you’re from?

@Melodious

So what have you discovered that led you to that conclusion? Does a tapeworm cause this type of decay in their victims? Last i knew one of the symptoms is also swollen belly... that part is missing... Or was that just an analogy?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

<Snipped quote by Server>

So it mentally manifests in a form representative of what it does physically? That would make sense.

@Melodious

I d... It's not mentally... it's more like her entire spiritual being if you will. Soul, consciousness, spirit etc...
But now that you put it that way... hmmm.

<Snipped quote by Server>

That’s not shocking to hear either. And what did you lot say you saw when analyzing things “metaphysically”?

@Melodious

Some type of energy orb or object, that sat right at the centre of what was supposed to be Jade's imprint of her home town... and instead of the place, there was just this circular bottomless pit stretching deep into the ground. When Orthrus tried to approach it, it just started trying to draw him in like gravity. Then i sealed it with a spell to at least sedate it. Don't know how much good that did though.

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

What could go deeper than that?

@Server

I don't think you want to know that right now... It's best to focus on... happy thoughts...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

They're no surprise though. Right?

@Server

Considering what we've seen in your metaphysical self, and how it reacted to a mere interaction attempt, i wouldn't say it isn't surprising at the very least... This may have deeper ramifications though...

*Flashes a weak thumbs up*

@Server

Yeah, i know you want to comfort me, but those symptoms don't sound good Jade... *Speaks through comms*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Has it been getting worse, or is it just consistently bad at a level that's worse than usual?

@Melodious

*Sits down in a thoughtful demeanour*

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

It keeps getting worse. Every day.

@Server

*raises a knowing eyebrow then shakes my head*

Myriad Reality

*Flashes two weak thumbs-up*
She's done a lot for me since I started working there.

@Server

Well... nothing to do for now but to cooperate with the good doc, and if any help's needed, we'll be here..

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

It shows I can trust her, right?

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Usually just hungry. But not this bad.

@Server

Ah.... I mean i hope you can! She seems to like you a lot! She even went out of her way to help you and find ways to heal you... However, in reality, most bosses don't mean they are trustworthy just because they hire you. But you had a lucky hand given to you with this one it seems. Make sure you don't loose it! *Speaks through the intercom*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

She gave me a really good job.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Mostly hungry. Hungry and tired.

@Server

That is rather cute... honestly! I can't say exactly how does getting a good job makes you best friends with the boss... but then again, i haven't seen all aspects of life yet... probably never will.

*Speaks from decontamination*

Yeah, she said the same to us. We spotted what looked like an anomalous source of energy in her metaphysical being right at the heart of her being that turned that place into a bottomless pit... almost like a black hole. Orthrus tried to interact with it, but it reacted very hostile to him!@Melodious
