Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Mm. I see.

@Threads of Fate

It’s been a fun puzzle to solve.
*Smiles*
I might even miss visiting once it’s over.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Strange. Does that highly impact the wares they sell?

@Threads of Fate

It was what prevented them from becoming the central point of commerce. Not that I’m interested in anything else they sell.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Mm. Is it?

@Threads of Fate

Mhm! Some kind of conspiracy was covered up that routed the main water source to a neighboring city. Hasn't been the same since.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Not really.

@Threads of Fate

Throughout the past couple years, I've gotten to know everyone here, along with their history. Turns out it's deeper than it seems.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*Follows you*
Mm. I suppose that works as a methodology.

@Threads of Fate

Do you have a better suggestion?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*Feels it from various angles*
Mm. I don't know that there is anything I want. But I can see why you'd like this.

@Threads of Fate

Mhm! Eventually this place will run out of history to discover, and I’ll move on to the next one.
*Barters with the owner of the watch, eventually settling on trading a plain metallic necklace, exchanges the two, and waves*
Bye! Tell your kids I said hello, and to study hard for next week!
*Walks away from that selection, haphazardly stuffing the watch into my messenger bag*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Mm. I'll keep that in mind.

@Threads of Fate

You also need to decide something you want.
*Pauses at one of them, picking up a pocket watch long-since stopped with an unrecognizable timekeeping mechanism*
This is the sort of thing I like to find.
*Presses the watch into your hand*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Mm. I suppose. You'll probably have to ask around for something like that.

@Threads of Fate

Old man Zithoth usually has something.
*Smiles and waves at a humanoid shopowner with liquid-based skin*
Of course a few of them are scams. Just ignore them.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I don't know if it is needed for your future work or not.
...
Anything look good for you so far?

@Threads of Fate

Unless there's something more useful, it doesn't sound like a waste of my time.
*Runs my thumb along the side of an eroded, metal contraption*
Mm, nothing here catches my eye. Usually I'm looking for something with a mystery—a forgotten purpose or a past to unravel.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

It's difficult to explain. Father would be a much better teacher than I, but it's a so-called "energy" emitted by living things from many dimensions.

@Threads of Fate

I’ll bring it up next time. I wish dad told me that was something I needed to learn.
*Runs my hand along a set of antique trinkets*
