*Raises an eyebrow*
Earned? Show me?

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

I see. Ideally, this process will be simple enough. I’d rather not cause unneeded labor.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I’ll show you the real reason I joined as a general. Just let me know when you’re done here.

<Snipped quote by Extra>

*Shrugs*
That’s the neat part.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Looks down at my plate for a moment, takes one more bite, then scoots away from the counter and stands up*
Okay. I’m in.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Ah!
*kicks you into the water, and multiple blue runes line your body from contact, and I dive in after you with the same runes on my body*

<Snipped quote by Extra>

*Crosses my arms and pouts as I sink*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*taps my head and points to you, making a question mark out of bubbles that I wrote*

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Taps my index finger to my thumb until a twisted, hazy portal reluctantly sparks to life on my left*

*Steps through*

<Snipped quote by Extra>

*Experimentally inhales the water*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*only air passes through and you find that the oxygen is surprisingly crisp and fresh, I look at you writing out “can we mind link to speak?”*

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

<Snipped quote by Extra>

*Taps my finger to my lips, then nods*

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Still, it does not go unnoticed.
*Taps at a computer screen, causing large orbs of light to manifest over the pillars*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*writes a rune on my head that glows and I tap it with two fingers that create a bright blu and white light and I swish my fingers at you, the ball of light firing at your head and a string follows, when I speak, my voice sounds as if you have headphones on*
Hello?

<Snipped quote by Extra>

*As soon as you establish the connection, deafeningly loud chaotic pop music blares across the line*

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*Watches a them nonchalantly*
Care to explain what it is we're doing more specifically than just anti-Amaranthine things?

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Silently follows you through*

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*We step into a thick forest, but all trees are cut off halfway up the trunk, and a canopy of swarming insects obscures the sky except in a perfect circle above us, and in the distance an orange-red planet imposes an oppressive force on this one, connected by thick bands of an unidentifiable shadowy material*
We can’t stay here long.
*My pupils twitch into reptilian slits*
