<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

These grounds don’t have any fancy mechanisms like that. Just a way to allow people in, and disallow others. The fact that you’re inside at all without immense brute force is an anomaly, and for those of us who can access this place, it’s as easy as leaving the way you came. If anything, you should know more based on how you got here.

@Valiance

...This question is meaningful. What are the most notable moments you have faced this week?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

You absolutely need to find something non-traditional as soon as possible then. The longer you’re here, the more dangerous it will be for you. The fallen abhor risk of compromised secrets...
*The earth beneath your feet sinks downward, leaving you floating in place as though there was no gravity*

@Valiance

And I'd rather not join them.
*Pinches the bridge of my nose*
I don't suppose you have a suggestion? Some way to eject us?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Brought here in a manner that you can’t leaveon your own?
*Lighting sparks intermittently high in the air, as though a cloud were building up charge, but in the total absence of any clouds*

@Valiance

Not through traditional means. Is that a problem?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I can only barter with you to leave. I don’t know whythe girls brought you here, but you have to go.

@Valiance

It was not our decision. We were brought here by a third party.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

The complexity of this situation exploded in the blink of an eye. It was so easy before...

@Multifarious

It has changed remarkably. I can't help but question why.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I couldn’t do it even if it was my own brother in your place.

@Valiance

Then this might be an unpleasant first impression.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I’ve never gotten to see them mad...

@Unhinged

*Looks upward with a trace of unease in my voice that isn't reflected by my metallic features*
Perhaps you will have that opportunity today.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

There are spiritual elements to the... Elements. And the spirits that rest here are picky about those who may be here.
*The sky seems to darken very quickly, as though a storm were setting in*

@Valiance

I don't suppose you could barter with those spirits on my behalf?

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

The initial descriptions of your lab did not present this kind of danger as any sort of possibility.

@Multifarious

My lab is capable of more than I had anticipated. This level of intelligence was not designed by my hand.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

A fake world with real consequences?...

@Multifarious

That is unfortunately a very real possibility.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

You lack any sort of attachment to the Hidden Elements. Unlike the three of us.

@Valiance

Will that be an issue?

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

There’s no way this is real. We know where Rythian is really at right this moment.

@Unhinged

My greatest concern is that it would not be infeasible for the device to interleave a fabricated world and the real one.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

You’re standing on very important, hallowed ground, Data. Not a common privilege for the Unattuned.

@Valiance

I'm afraid I may need to be brought up to speed in regards to your terminology.
