I'm honestly just very confused.

@Server

So am i actually. i don't want to just throw an explosion into this pit here without any planning beforehand... how do you feel about this? After all this is you... you should be more in tune with yourself than me or Orthrus here could ever hope to be...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

That could be it. More importantly, what do we do about it?

@Server

Presently i am not entirely sure. This is your inner being. It is like asking a doctor dealing with a physical tumour, how best to remove it without accidentally cutting an arteries Same for this transcendent situation... Difference is, i'm not the only doctor here, we all are... which just makes things unnecessarily complicated. *I sigh in resigned tension*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

What is it?

@Server

Well i don't know just yet, but even this astral form of my tesseract is reacting evidently negative towards it. It clearly is attacking deeply intimate parts of your memories and attachments to your past, maybe it has something to do with how this is blocking your feeding channels?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

This isn't what it's supposed to look like.

@Server

*I lift my tesseract in order to get a clearer reading as it's crimson glow stops and turns dark obsidian like* Well... i guess we found some manifestation of your curse then...

*When we reach minor indicators of civilization, we stumble across a massive sinkhole the size of a small town, with a barely-visible orb of distortion hovering just below ground level*
My home...

@Server

Ummm... that doesn't look like a home... should i be concerned? Orhtrus @Magnanimity?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Oh...
*Nudges a warty, round fruit to the side with my foot*
I'm sorry for you.

@Server

*Keeps on scanning the environment and looks to the fruit for a bit but keeps on following*

<Snipped quote by Server>

That’s not something I’m unhappy with, as it stands. So don’t cry for me, we still have to finish looking at you.

@Magnanimity

Speaking of... Did you sensed anything at all up to this point Orthrus? Maybe i'm missing something here...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

*Chuckles*
Perhaps because I ended up jaded to the whole idea? I feel terrible though, to be in my position purely because of what I am gifted with rather than having any sort of desire. But trust me, our family has far more than its fair share of hubris spread about.

@Magnanimity

Root of all sin... or... er... let's just say that feeling is poison for literally anyone and anything... trust me... i'm dealing with hunting down a whole actual transcendent monster made out of just that... Hubris...

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Who relies on you? If you're responsible, then someone has to be depending on you doing this, right?

@Server

*Smiles at the question slightly*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

He doesn't care about you all the same?

@Server

*Keeps on listening*

<Snipped quote by Server>

Not at all, actually. Being gifted in any way gives you an edge in that regard.

@Magnanimity

That's a deadbeat dad if i've ever heard of any... i'm sorry for any offence or for being so blunt...

<Snipped quote by Server>

That’s one a of a few ways. Really, if you’re gifted at all though. In regard to being uniquely powerful, or exceptionally intelligent. Or talented in a way that’s able to be monetized.

@Magnanimity

*Carries on listening to the rest as i follow*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

There are a lot of us, and favor is not an infinite resource.

@Magnanimity

*Furrows my eyebrows* Ah...

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Favor? What does that mean for you?

@Server

<Snipped quote by Server>

Having value in the eyes of our father. It's not exactly a ubiquitous thing.

@Magnanimity

*Sighs tense with slight disappointment at the motive but refuses to comment*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

*My eyes widen in surprise*
Really? You don't look much like a spaceman or an alien at all.

@Server

<Snipped quote by Server>

It’s true. I suppose the more descriptive answer would be that I was born in Tainaron, but that really doesn’t mean much of anything. It’s not a planet or any place on any world.

@Magnanimity

*My eyes glint with space nerd giddiness as i keep on following you two*

<Snipped quote by Server>

I’m one of the few who don’t need to be.

@Magnanimity

I used to be competitive... don't really have time for that anymore...
