Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*My expression drops to a more serious tone and stone snaps from beneath my footing as I shift my stance before jumping anyway, soaring in an arc upwards and snagging Midnight out of the air in a tackle, all in the direction of the path she illuminated*

@Stratocracy

Good luck!
*Pulls my closed fist back, and the space it occupies stretches and tears like a fabric, ripping open and extending toward the both of you, contained within the horrors of the surrounding worlds*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

...

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Is that a trick question?

@Stratocracy

*Clenches the two fingers into a fist*
Yes.
*Gravity increases several times over, cratering the ground at your feet and pulling Midnight down like an asteroid in a blazing fireball*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*Hurls you upward, sending you nearly-perfectly vertically and well over the height of the high-rises around us*

@Stratocracy

Are you done yet?
*Points two fingers at you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Dives back upwards from out of the crumbling soil and over your head*
Why do you want to do something that bores you so badly?

@Stratocracy

Why do you care?
*Materializes a dozen spinning knives at my position, which launch upward into you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Comes crashing down into the ground from my leap, sending the platform of earth I land on sinking down, raising other swaths of earth up like dislodged plates around me and covering myself in the large chunks of the shifting ground*

@Stratocracy

*Blitzes in front of one of the panels of earth and spin-kicks it directly into your position, while the impact itself is met with deep rumbling*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Leaps across the gap of one of the cracks as you approach, pushing off with enough strength to collapse the unstable ground behind me while also propelling myself well into the air*

@Stratocracy

Done so soon?
*Reaches into the cracks of the ground and pulls up the earth itself like a dough, springing its form into an active volcano that erupts with noxious fumes and lethal magma*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Steps around the nearest blaze and starts running parallel to you along the cracks and their infernal spew*

@Stratocracy

*Laughs and backflips out of the ground with little effort, landing on my hand in your direction, which cracks under the increased weight of my body, and proceeds to approach you with consecutive spins and twists, which violently shake the ground the closer I get*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Catches your feet with my hands in front of my abdomen and flings you back straight upward away from me, after the force sends me sliding with my heels dug into the dirt*
Switching it up and coming back later could be refreshing you know. You tried crochet?

@Stratocracy

Don't know what that is!
*Gravity accelerates me immediately downward, and I hit the ground with a squatting position, producing huge cracks from which searing flames lick upward*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

You a big fan of video games?
*Continues on my current trajectory and hops out of their paths’ cross section*

@Stratocracy

Nnnnope!
*Jumps, leaving a crater where I stood and vaulting up to one of the worms' mouths, and then flinging myself with its momentum into you, feet-first*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Ducks and spins around on a dime in one swift motion, while kicking backward and skating away across the ground in a graceful slide*
You sure? You seemed so bored, we could switch it up. Variety is the spice of life.

@Stratocracy

I am bored.
*Claps my hands once above my head and two enormous wormlike creatures made of open intestines erupt from the ground and catapult toward you with no end to their body in sight*
