<Snipped quote by The Multiverse>

*My eyes eventually glaze over as I look around the beach*
So exactly what you're doing with the door, then? I see how it is.

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Suddenly appears and talks to you from next to your left* So he's going to be like that for a while... at least until he finishes unloading the information, this particular instance of Ben experienced a brain cortex overload when he faced a crystal core of the akashic records...

<Snipped quote by ArGavryiell>

*Cuts my eyes over to him*
That's sounds like a medical emergency.

<Snipped quote by Host>

Well it would be easier said than done, because like him, a couple of his copies were actually bound to the records during the spell, so not very easy to heal... That said, your keeping the door open suggestion... hmmm... what do you think? Is that a good and permanent solution?

Also i wasn't 'gone' per say, more like one 'angle' of my being is focussed on another area... i'm what you'd call an archangel, a higher dimensional being, so i exist from a different spatial dimension than the common 3D one. I can appear to be in several places at once, and that is completely true, but... i'm not going to bother you with my nature right now.

<Snipped quote by ArGavryiell>

Ben can also make himself appear in multiple places at once. Is he the same kind of creature?

<Snipped quote by Host>

Well, yes he can do that, but that ability comes from a man named Prism, whom he had a fight with a long time ago... so he's not a higher dimensional being, but he can multiply...

<Snipped quote by ArGavryiell>

Ah, a thief, then.
*Crosses my arms*

<Snipped quote by Host>

That is an odd accusation... hmmm... It was Prism that attacked him, and his innate power kicked in before he had any training about it. So thieving is quite far from the actual truth. More like copying the power.

<Snipped quote by ArGavryiell>

Piracy, then. Same difference.
*Raises a skeptical eyebrow at Ben*

<Snipped quote by Host>

This feels very personal to you all of a sudden... why is that?

<Snipped quote by ArGavryiell>

It's extraordinarily personal. But a different me, a different time, a different place. Not important right now.

<Snipped quote by Host>

Wait what?

<Snipped quote by ArGavryiell>

What what? We have to figure out the time stream issue.

<Snipped quote by Host>

Yes... and no... You have an arua about you like you might be THE Prism!

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Unless they don’t want to be disturbed or found.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

What?

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Did you just break whatever that was!?

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Mm. Lost and afraid.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*Pushes the door fully open, revealing a very small room with an uncannily solid color scheme on either side of it, one side black and the other white split perfectly down the middle, also lit by a single blinking, moderately dim yellow light*

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Cuh-reeeeee-py!
*Moves my head in large circles as I look around the room*

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*The room seems mostly barren, save for another set of sliding metal double doors on the other side of the room also split by the color scheme, and some terminals that are powered off on either side accompanied by peripheral hardware meant for verification purposes, including a small round couple of holes symmetrically opposed to each other amidst the hardware*

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Mm. Lost and afraid.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*Pushes the door fully open, revealing a very small room with an uncannily solid color scheme on either side of it, one side black and the other white split perfectly down the middle, also lit by a single blinking, moderately dim yellow light*

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

This is so weird! There's got to be something important, but what do you think it's for?

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Maybe.

Split personality?
