*Silently crosses my arms and shifts my weight to one side*

@Audacious

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

That's my home!

@Legend

If that's the case, and I'm not so doubtful as to reject the possibility now that you've explained what you have, then letting you go to what must be the source of this is even more dangerous. Why are you trying to defeat your own father?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

You seem overly familiar in fact.

@Audacious

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Look, they basically filled in a bio-template for me to survive, but I'm as close to their daughter as anyone can get.

@Legend

*Begins to say something to Violet but stops when Isis talks*

...

*I close my eyes, obviously pained by the information*

... Of course he did. To be honest, that makes me more hesitant to let you go there, but I suppose I already made up my mind.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Malevocholy>

It's, uh, no big dealio. Thanks.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Look, I wasn't born the normal way but I'm not lying! I don't do that, never ever.

@Legend

<Snipped quote by Malevocholy>

*Keeps my hands at my side and looks at you more expressionlessly than might have been expected*

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

It’s not a biological relationship, as I understand it. But why do you know so much about her dad?

@Audacious

Are you a clone of someone?

*Looks to Violet*

Adopted? I suppose I should have thought of that first, but I never would have guessed he'd adopt.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Malevocholy>

*Raises two hands*
Woah, cool it, we're good!

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

*Lurches my head like doing a spit take*
You can get to dad's world!!?

@Legend

Don't lie to me, him having a child is impossible. Dynamo's partner isn't able to interbreed and she would kill him if he had a child with someone else.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Malevocholy>

*Turns to look at you silently and raises my arm in a sheepish, uncertain wave*

@Audacious

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

<Snipped quote by Malevocholy>

Wait, so if you're guiding us there and won't even let us go directly, can you at least tell us what's so significant about this world we're going to? We don't really have time to waste if it ends up being a rabbit hole.

@Legend

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Intruders!?

*A spear materializes in my hands and I point it at you*

@Malevocholy

Down.

*Turns to Isis*

It's Dynamo's, so probably where you're looking for.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

That actually sounds really really nice. I say let's do it.

@Legend

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

I am fine with it, as long as they don’t also have the goal of sabotaging us. You did admittedly say that you had reason to make sure we lose, at least as a possibility.

@Audacious

They'll be on your side.

*Points my finger upwards and slightly towards Violet*

I said that if you lose, I need it to be in a certain way. I'd prefer for you to not get hurt at all, or better yet, not be involved in a fight, even after losing the scent of this place. Regardless.

*I crack the lower knuckle of my left middle finger with my thumb*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

If that is an option, that would be great. But maybe some sort of pointers or tips on what we can do to get there?

@Legend

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Did you mention a guide? One that would keep an eye on us until the risk dissipates?

@Audacious

I did. I'd much rather send you with one than simply send you straight there. If you're amiable to that, then I would suggest it. They might even be able to help keep you alive if Dynamo decided to attack you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

That’s what I was trying to say. And the fact that we have a mutual enemy linked to it makes me think our problems might also be linked, in some way.

@Audacious

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Exactly. It'll probably just get worse unless we can work together on this somehow.

@Legend

Again, there is unfortunately little I can do about it at the moment.

*Looks upwards*

... What would you like for me to do, other than send you straight there?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

What do you mean by something being wrong?

@Legend

Like I said before, it shouldn't be possible for someone to come in the way you did without me knowing beforehand. That it happened means something must be wrong, somewhere, in some way.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

But what I mean is that aren't the chances the same of him finding this place anyway if we do nothing?

@Legend

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Wait, before? So you know him? You have history with him? I didn’t expect us to be randomly dropped into a place where someone actually knew who and what we were dealing with.

@Audacious

The chances aren't the same; the fact is that it's worked so far in part because nobody from here goes to interact with many other universes. We stick to a few certain ones.

And yes, I've fought him before, actually. There is less randomness to this than you may think, the problem is less that it was random and more that something is wrong.
