That is what I like to hear! No mercy.

@Artifact

Even if it means foregoing whatever chances anyone thinks there are of saving these people.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I see... Then I sense a responsibility to ensure these people receive a second chance.

@Artifact

A second chance is more than they can have. We need to give them justice, and strike so hard and fast that this abomination can’t connive its way out.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Do you deal with these regularly? This is the first I’ve seen this effect.

@Artifact

Not this exactly. But a massacre that strikes a massive resemblance to this one, was the responsibility of someone you helped me kill.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Looks down at the non-reflective but still golden walkways throughout the city and then studies another building closely*
You seem perturbed.

@Artifact

It’s familiar. More familiar than I expected it to be.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Only as useful as the moment that was frozen. We could look at reflective objects to see more, but that doesn’t help us very much.

@Artifact

…
*Walks a circle around a particular couple of folks, such that they land within my sight as I gaze into a bazaar of sorts that was ripe with activity. I stop walking and stare at the scene with a furrowed brow, and a gaze of growing contempt*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Nothing that brings us answers.
*Leans in toward the inscribed image, and then walks across to the parallel image on the other side of the street*
But we would be able to reconstruct the moment these people were frozen.

@Artifact

Which does what if not provide answers?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*The reflection of the market doesn’t contain any noticeable fear or panic on the faces of residents, but a newspaper vendor does appear to be distributing papers about the upcoming annual draining and cleaning of the waterway*
I have a small handful of ideas...

@Artifact

Already?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Perhaps so. But to our fortune, these impressions should help illuminate the way.

@Artifact

Let’s have a look, if you think there will be reactions to see without already being relatively close.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

It should not be hiding from us. Greedy dragons like this one are too prideful. And yet.

@Artifact

Ulterior motives at play when it has to be concerned about more than itself.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Dragons don’t enjoy moving their dens. If the city is gold, it must still live here, and if it lives here, it is most probably in the same nest, hoarding its treasure.

@Artifact

Is it just the city that’s gold? How far does the gold stretch?
