I mean, what use would I be as a fighter if I can’t fight anymore?

@Valiance

Temporarily do something else?

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

If her phone is with her and not ripped up, then she’s not ripped up!

@Balance

Outside can't carry a signal.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I called Violet’s phone and it immediately picked up to static. I traced the signal to every possible point in Outside space, with no discernible pattern. If the phone really were shattered, the signal wouldn’t appear at all, let alone come from literally everywhere. The nature of Outside would have annihilated every particle. She’s there, and she’s intact. I know it!

@Balance

How does that even almost imply that she's alive?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I... Well, I would need to go to Phiaxes, but I’m thinking now I should stay away for now. If I go back and report in in my current state, I could be stripped of my job. I want to figure this out before I go back.

@Valiance

They'll do that? What a bunch of losers.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I’ll... Probably figure it out. You go help your friend. If she’s still out there, she might not have unlimited time.

@Valiance

I intend to. Where do you need to go?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Comes back out and makes another attempt, to absolutely no avail*
No luck.

@Valiance

Well that's just great.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Well, there it is.
*Goes and looks through it*

@Valiance

*It leads to a dense jungle*
Any luck?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Does so*

@Valiance

*Streams a portal through your arm, into your hand, and onto the wall*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

We can try that.

@Valiance

Okay, hold out your hand.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

What, almost like a jump start, I guess?

@Valiance

Yeah, I can create a portal with you as a kind of proxy.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

It’s not! You just...
*Attempts to open one*
Like second nature. Just...
*Attempts again*
You just gotta-
*Attempts again*
Do it.
*Tries one more time, then sighs*

@Valiance

What if I make one at the same time?
