Adventuring is our career. We need money to live at the Tavern, and more importantly, to eat.

*Mentally to @Memory* Uuugh... when are we comfortable to reveal to them we can offer them a better living condition than the tavern? Should we just never reveal this or what?

*Rolls my eyes in annoyance toward her*
Don’t listen to Lily; she’s an airhead. We’re not going to let you die.

@Source

*Outloud* Well that is a rather limiting lifestyle no? Just adventuring for money? Have you ever thought of other avenues? *I also proceed to walk through this space we are in analysing the structure while i talk*

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

Have they? I mean, we accepted the 70/30 cut up front.

@Memory

Yeah, you're right, but even here they said, they would be happy to let us die if it means they get all the profit...

<Snipped quote by Meta>

—and while we’re open to allies, they’re business relationships. We don’t form permanent alliances, for our own sake.

@Source

So, let me get this straight... you can't live without money, yet you exist in some building in between worlds? How does that make sense?
Why is money so... special for you? Hey Prism, help me out here... They have been trying to swindle us out of profit all this time. How does that fare with you?

*Coughs*
Hey, don’t be shy. You also need real questing experience, so that’s valuable to you. Me, I want the money.

@Memory

Phhh! Sure!

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

*Exhales*
If you stab us in the back, it won’t end well.

@Source

I could say the same thing for you. All you care about here seems to be money and not relations. But i'll keep extending my hand out in friendship, should you stab it instead, well that should say volumes about you too.

*Mentally*
Hey, careful not to blow our cover!

@Memory

*Mentally* Yeah, i get it, untill now you have let me do all the talking, i'm blunt not diplomatic... And all of this is taking a toll on me.

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

*Narrows my eyes*
Why are you even on this quest if you don’t want to get paid?

@Source

*Outloud* Because i want to find allies and help for my friend here who forgot his whole life... how is that not a good enough reason?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

You do have some form of contingencies activated, right?

@Source

No duh!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

I guess we can spare a little magic if you don’t, but then again, you not making it back would mean we keep all the rewards... hmmm, decisions decisions.

@Meta

*Shoots you a lightning glare* You greedy sprite! I don't care about the money, i'm fully capable to live without the tavern currency! uuugh! Keep all your rewards for all i care.

I was talking about YOUR safety not mine.

*Replies mentally*
A little bit. I wouldn’t be shocked if we have some kind of post-trauma after that ordeal.

@Memory

*Telepathically* Yeah... i mean, i have multiple traumas about that place... who wouldn't?

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

*Lily and I look at each other*
...Not really. It’s different.

@Source

*Outloud* Different doesn't mean it is hunky-dory to just interact with the place just like that. Trust me... i know when something looks this crazy, it probably is deadly!

*The circles fade*
Who knows? Probably some rock house used by an ancient gemstone creature.
*The aura of the place is tinted with something supernatural, but distinct from magic; the stone we came from itself presents a large wall extending as high as can see, and a small shelf protrudes from the gray wall that we stand on, extending far into the distance*

@Meta

*proceeds to communicate telepathically to Prism @Memory* Is it just me or does this place seem familiar to... you'know.... that liminal indentation space with senseless architecture?

*Communicates normally* And you are fine with it? You are not perturbed about how this might be tied to the collapsing of entire solar systems here?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

We appear to be at a localized source of gravity. The purposes of this construction are unknown.

@Meta

Right... *Extends out my hand as to sense the aura of the place* This definitely feels like something that should not exist in this universe... nevermind how odd the universe is, it still has a natural flow about it... this structure opposes it somehow...
