Where does it take us when we go inside?

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Woah—
*Rebalances myself*
Thank you so much!

@Server

Well... very likely inside your inner world and being... whatever is inside there... only you may truly be familiar with. It most definitely is not a lighthouse inside that's for sure.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

An adventure in dilated time. At least it usually is.
*Clears my throat*
It almost definitely is a whole world.
*Glances down over the ledge toward the bottom*
Unless you think a swift drop might be better?

@Magnanimity

I... don't think the ocean is our destination Orthrus... Whoah! *I reel back at seeing colossal bone monsters reeling their skulls against the pillar of stone on which the lighthouse is built* Yeah... that... that is a representation of Jade's hunger and decay...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

Is it like this for most people?

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Is that not the point of this? I'm not too sure what it all means.
*Steps over the hazy ocean toward the lighthouse*

@Server

If you mean the bones thing? No... for me it was that sun-like light trail as i hovered. For Orthrus... he just seemed to have hovered here without any trace of anything.

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

Right. Do you have any crazy ideas? As it stands, there’s only one obvious answer in terms of exploration.
*Shifts my gaze to the lighthouse and looks it over top to bottom*

@Magnanimity

Nope! *I grin over the top* This is exploring Jade's being... from mind to emotion to soul to subconscious to spirit etcetera...

Until we find what exactly ails her... this is going to be an adventure! *Rubs my hands fully giddy with passion*

<Snipped quote by Server>

I’m not assuming anything outright. I see nothing that screams you’re in true harm’s way, at least right away.

@Magnanimity

*Preps myself just in case* Hey! Don't jinx this! This might look like a lighthouse on the outside, but that is everything related to Jade in there... it could be a whole world for all we know...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

I think I may have given the wrong idea just slightly... But yes. Let's see what we can learn.

@Magnanimity

*nods*

<Snipped quote by Server>

*Nods*
Not exactly how I expected a break away to be spent, but I’m perfectly fine with any activity as long as no one is in danger.
*Glances around*
And I don’t think we will be in your mind?… Yet.

@Magnanimity

This is already technically her... over-being. We are already in her mind and astral body too...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

What does goth mean?

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

I understand. Thank you for helping me either way!

@Server

Anything edgy, dark and scary. Like pillars of bone jutting out of an abstract stormy ocean as a means of transport in a near-dreamlike realm... Not wrong, just... one could write a whole metal song about it... *I chuckle at the thought*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

They’re not all bad. Heck. The “Big X” I just mentioned is one of several hero organization in the IA. So their standing is more… Gray.

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

It’s a long story, and it would quite literally be a pain to explain. So let’s just focus on her instead?

@Magnanimity

Well not beef with the whole Big X... just with its dickheads that's all...

And yeah, you are right, she is our priority here... @Server

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Opposite end of the spectrum shy of extremes, actually. Seldom is my hand forced, but it hurts when it happens.

@Magnanimity

Who does hold such sway over your freedom to chose? And why continue to obey forces that cause you pain like that?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

He might be trying to help and failing miserably. Or, he might be under the thumb of greater forces. I… have experience with both, to say the least.

@Magnanimity

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

For someone who didn't like their life?

@Server

<Snipped quote by Server>

As an alternative to the things I’ve been forced to do to them. I’d really prefer to not go deeper than that.

@Magnanimity

But that is just your story Orthrus. Do you claim to know this Mierno that well? Or even after you portrayed the group he's part of, the way you did?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Who is them?

@Server

*Looks attentively between the two of you as we are nearing the lighthouse*

<Snipped quote by Server>

That’s really just the best way to describe them. A ragtag band of rogues the Big X sometimes affiliate with who call themselves friends but have varying levels of morality. Not surprised to hear one of their ilk is involved.

@Magnanimity

Tsch... Another one of those types... well then now that makes it even more clear how much i want to punch their faces in...

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Are they dangerous? Do you think they'll come after me?

@Server

<Snipped quote by Server>

Based on what I know, they don’t frequently take action on a unified front like that all together. If Mierno is your enemy, you probably won’t have much more to worry about than him. Maybe another individual or two at worst.

@Magnanimity

*Sits crouched on the coast of the small rock where the lighthouse is and reforms the waves into waves of gold just a small area in front of me* Not if i have something to say about that. I won't stand idly by as these kinds of people wreak havoc across existence...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

I know the name. He's associated with them...

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

That's all well and good, but what if it's a literal physical parasite?
*Follows you both to the lounge and takes a seat, entering manifesting myself in the mindworld and yet retaining physical presence and control over my real world body*

@Magnanimity

Things can be killed in the physical from the spiritual and the mental too... but good point
