Signs of someone having been here. So I need you both to be incredibly careful, because such signs could include traps, or means of observation.

@Valiance

Here’s hoping they stand out...
*Steps to the side, while at the same time another instance of me steps the opposite direction as if it were peeling away from where I stood*

Not unreasonable, unless doing that is reasonable to you. I imagine that anything we might be interested in should be made apparent with a more limited search.

@Valiance

We can start local and branch wider if we need to.

Maelstrom did what he did, and when all was said and done, there was nothing to come back to. And neither of us had any desire to come back ever again, since this is where it all ended.

@Valiance

Wow... And you want to scout the whole planet?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

I had never come back before... I really didn't have a grasp on how terrible it was as a kid.

@Valiance

You haven’t been back at all since that day?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*The invisible dome surrounding us begins to fill with darkness around its perimeter as though it were a flowing liquid before suddenly disappearing in a snap, revealing an all new surrounding for us. Though clearly once an urban landscape, any semblance of buildings have entirely collapsed, lying either shattered entirely as debris across the ground, or as partially intact structures that have fallen sideways. The sky itself is a dull, depressing gray, though ignited by a reddish tinge over the edge of the horizon as though distant fires roar in all directions. There are a number of humanoid statues littered about in a manner of different poses, all of which seem to be people either depicted in moments of desperation or fear, and the ground itself seems to leak wisps of a black spectral smoke every several dozen feet or so between cracks of shattered earth*
...

@Valiance

I’m... this is awful.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Yes, yes. Come close, both of you.
*Motions you both to me*

@Valiance

*Steps by your side*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Hopefully not that. But I definitely lime the energy at least.

@Valiance

So before I die of embarrassment...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Hey, as long as you're fine with my questionable usefulness, I have a free afternoon...
*Clears my throat*
Several free afternoons.

@Meta

Hey, at least it gives you a short hobby?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

I helped my brother, who would have made them mad a long time ago.

@Valiance

Hey, you said you were recruiting non-exclusively powerful people to help, right? How about we bring grandma with us? She could make a great bodyguard while we snoop around.
