Klisp'Anarion: Prlrprlrlr! *Exactly! And what happens to the handler if not careful and gets a mouthful of its rather... mutagen and parasitic spores?*

@Shadrack Nor

*Side-eyes Ben with an amount of disgust*
...That.

Klisp'Anarion: Prlrprlrlrlrlplprp... *Well if you did read the section what does that mushroom do?*

Soldier Boy copy: AYO! WHAT'S GOING ON DOWN THERE?

Klisp'Anarion: *Blinks exasperatedly* Prrlrlrldlrdlldlddld! *Nothing of your concern big fella! Keep on reading!*

@Shadrack Nor

It's...
*Takes one of the Prisms walking by us by the arm and absorbs him*
The mushroom is responsible for stabilization between ingredients that would otherwise reject each other, such as eye of stewet and denatured r'tholgo precipitate.

Klisp'Anarion: Prlrplrprlololololol! *Are we sure this is what they should be doing, that mushroom is quite... pesky... you'd know if you read that particular chapter on ingredients*

@Shadrack Nor

We have to do it some way or another. Although learning the theory doesn't necessarily require the practice aspect.
*Looks out over the Prism hive*
How is combat training going?

Soldier Boy: Mlmelemlmelmmeml ?! *I mumble as i foam at the mouth and my tongue spills out pointed and rubbery near my shoulder level and my eyes are pitch black marbles as i seem to look at you with the intent of licking you*

@Shadrack Nor

*Clears my throat*
Can one of Ben’s copies come reabsorb him?

*looks to the clones as i see a bunch of wobbling mushrooms of the kind that just exploded... if you were to look they are just nonchalantly browsing Klisp's library as some are reading and scratching their heads*

Soldier Boy: Uuhhhlllmmm... Vley vlurned ilmph Vlurshrooms *They turned into mushrooms - i say with my tongue swollen*

@Shadrack Nor

Alright... maybe they'll fare better with combat training.

*Mushroom proceeds to explode, giving me a mouthful of purple spores*

*Klisp, watching through the portal, giggles at the sight almost as if anticipating this to be only the first step of what's to happen to me due to the spores*

Soldier Boy: *Coughs dryly as i spit and scratch my tongue* EW! It tastes like rotten fish!

@Shadrack Nor

I'm... glad I didn't try that myself. How are your copies getting along?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Soldier Boy: Yuup... they... ey boys! have you started the reading already?

Soldier Boy clone: *laughing* What? yup! not like it's the best activity out there

Soldier Boy: Cut the crap and get to readin'!

*Pokes the mushroom as it retracts and forms a protective bubble with its tendrils*

Soldier Boy: Ew...

@Shadrack Nor

By splitting the work up, it really shouldn’t be absurdly difficult for any individual copy of you.
*Watches the mushroom with interest*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

*looking at a mushroom with glowing wiggling tendrils* Sooo... what am i looking at and how is this thing going to fix the universe?

@Shadrack Nor

I don’t think the environment will do much for us. But study will. Have your copies started reading the text?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Soldier Boy: Riiiight... i guess i'm about to find out now ain't i?

*the caverns, the surface, the forests, the jungles, they are all yours to explore and Ben's...*

@Shadrack Nor

You are. Spread out.
*Every exposed inch of my half of the regions begins to fill with Prism copies, all studying the same content*

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Soldier Boy: Dude! like seriously! How can you just understand these things so easily and nonchalantly, anyway?!

@Shadrack Nor

When you spend ten thousand hours doing anything, you become an expert. The more versions of yourself you assign to a task, the quicker you’ll learn, with certain caveats.
