<Snipped quote by Legend>

-Ken- Yes.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

...Okay. Let's go.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Goodbye, Princess Anna.
-Anna- Bye, Ken!
-I will come back soon. It depends on where she wishes to stay. Now, let us go! *leads White through the portal, into a grassy courtyard with a circular area of stone in the middle. Around the courtyard are some open stone buildings where men and women dressed similar to Ken work. Others mill about or train, and all have four black blades in scabbards around their waists* Welcome to the Kyokai.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

What is this?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

This is where we who use the Art of Words work and train. Although we may live anywhere at all, this is where we are much of the day.
*a woman walking past them stops* We still need a better name than "we who use the Art of Words", Ken.
-Later.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

What do you do here?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

This is where we train, make weapons, commune, and discuss plans. We fight smaller threats around Existence, and this is where we decide what to do about them and come up with plans. Some of us do live here, including me.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Where will I live?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

You may live in the base we left--but if you wish, we can set up living quarters here as well.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

I can live wherever is most convenient for everyone else.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

What is convenient for you? I cannot say what is convenient for everyone else. Our bases have always had places to live. You will be a bother neither there nor here.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Nothing is inconvenient for me. I'm the guest.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

What is more convenient, then? What is better? A large, furbished tent, or a large, furbished room? There is more variety of food and entertainment in the base, if you care for that.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

I just don't know how my future situation will be.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

There's nothing wrong with changing residence. I believe you may be more comfortable in the base. But time flows oddly in this place compared to other universes, so it may be more confusing for you if you stay in the base. It is your choice, Gamemaster White.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Things.
*a portal opens and a man dressed like Spirit's formal attire, but in green, bursts out. The sounds of fighting and destruction can be heard* Please, somebody help us!

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

How does time flow differently?

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

*Walks through the door*
Toby: ... to which I responded-
-Hey, what's going on here?

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

-Ruby- I have no idea! But that's Spirit's Shadowrealm through there.
?: Come, quickly!

<Snipped quote by Legend>

In some universes, years can pass in the span of a single day of another universe. Here, it is much less than that, but it fluctuates. Sometimes 7 days will pass. Sometimes less than one. But it suits our purposes.
