<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

What do you mean by layers? I don't really understand how this world works.

@Server

*Manifests a stack of papers and begins shifting through them in front of you*

Picture this, each of these sheets of paper are one level of your consciousness. the top most paper here, is your self-aware sentient self.

*Keeps on switching papers indicating that the deeper i go, the deeper the plane of your being is*

So this paper *The bottom-most one* is your deepest, most primordial, nascent essence where you began existance. Essentially in your mother's womb.

Now anywhere between here and the top, this curse could be latching on to, and forbidding you to function in a healthy manner and as a result this is happening *motions to the void pit before us*

But wait, I remember my home and family and friends! They're not gone.

@Server

Well they seem to be gone from this layer of your being... we need to figure out what this layer is, and how does it relate to your ability to feed...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

What is it that we're looking at?

@Server

A void... in the very core of your being by the looks of it... there's nothing that speaks of curse or aetheric mutilation more than something that literally blows the memory imprint of ones home, the very place one began existing and has the most cherished memories, out of the map entirely... this guy Mierno is NEXT level sick!!!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

This thing in its place though. Not any sort of anomaly you recognize from the past?

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

There’s a lot of overlap there. A lot of it behaves the same, especially when you try and look at it in such a brutish manner as we are.

@Magnanimity

I couldn't disagree with that even if i wanted to... Any more delicate approaches that we might need to at least consider?

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

*Shakes my head*
This makes me really sad.

@Server

Jade... i know this must hurt, but please try to stay focused and clearheaded. This is not your real house, just an imprint of it in your being. Your house is still out there.

Orthrus, should i attempt and close this hole? Extirpate the negative energy here? Any suggestions?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

I mean, possibly? We should definitely be cautious at minimum.

<Snipped quote by Server>

Does it look like anything that means anything to you? It might not be your home, but the mind can be a jumbled place to navigate in full consciousness like this. Could just be something out of place.

@Magnanimity

Yes... that...

Also Orthrus? This is not just the mind of Jade @Server... this is more like a realm made up of her entire being rendered in full metaphysical existence... that is, Mind, Emotions, Soul, Spirit, Consciousness... and several deeper layers of being. so yeah...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

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...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

*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?
