so that was a fun romp. everybody recovered?

y'know, our buddy wangji's post got me thinking -- what if that was a kind of in-between dimension? between this world, and maybe ours? something else entirely? i don't know -- anybody got portal experience here?

You named such experience.

Re: un: absterge

[traaaaaash]

yeah but that was kinda specific to my world

also i don't have the portal anymore, i told you that

[downswing]

Can it be unburied? Recovered.

[traaaaaash]

nope, got destroyed

un: man's greatest treasure

[reparo]

Don't we all? How else would you explain that we ended here, if not through some strange portal to another dimension?

[traaaaaash]

obviously

but that's one portal. one.

i'm trying to see who has a little more experience and knowledge than that

[reparo]

I've asked Karsa - she seems to imply returning would break it in a way.

[traaaaaash]

dang. of course there's a catch like that

did you get anything else out of her?

You seek to know what caused the unwinding, to know if it could take you home?

Beacons are known to allow portals to take us home.

We know there is a beacon in the grounds of Vassarizhia, the clock tower in the neutral zone. We were told it would 'light' within months, when the clock is due its annual winding. Given it just unwound, it is possible that the beacon was involved in how the unwinding came to act -- in the changing of reality around us.

Does this answer your question?

[traaaaaash]

i mean yeah there is that

but i'm also getting curious how it's all connected

and well, wangji wants to go get the kid outta there

[blackscales]

[ Did he not just explain how it was connected? Or does she mean beyond the beacons? Still, on Wangji: ]

Tampering in timelines is ill advised.

[traaaaaash]

yeah i imagine that's not the best idea

@taken for granite

[rumorate]

Portal, no. But do you think we can trust anything we saw in there?

[traaaaaash]

i mean no obviously

but it means something right?

[rumorate]

Maybe. It would help if there was someone who had context for this that we could trust.

[traaaaaash]

sure would

i suppose we could talk to the mouse house people

i'd trust an honest criminal over any of these fancy boys any day

I do, but I am not keen on portaling myself into an
unknown spot in between dimensions where I might not be able to get out.
Are you?

[traaaaaash]

i mean

right now we are also in a strange dimension where we can't get out

[incantates]

A good point,
but this dimension has walls, beds, heating, and alcohol.
There are some places lacking in all of life's greatest pleasures that you don't want to accidentally wind up in, if you get my meaning.

What are you hoping to find? The same mysterious realm as him?

[cosplayqueen]

kind of?? full disclosure: no clue how i do anything. i can say that in-between dimensions are totally thing. a thing we should avoid.

seriously some questionable people kind of made me accidentally open one and i think they're all dead now. do not recommend. 0/10.

[traaaaaash]

hm. "all" is a lot of dead people.

[cosplayqueen]

More like five or six. Still too many even if they were totally trying to kill me and definitely did kill a lot of other people.

Pocket dimension? Seems as likely as anything else. I'm not sure it explains the mind games.

[traaaaaash]

isn't this whole realm a mind game

seems pretty on-brand to be honest

[spoilers]

Fair point. I shouldn't even be here.

Is is always like this?
