*I look back to Lily with a confused expression*

Are we supposed to? Because I doubt doing so would do anything good. But I see no other way to progress.

*Magic circles make one rotation in my irises*
It's an activation condition. And it looks like the fountain runes are set up in a way to block it from activating, meaning...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they appear to channel some kind of spell when this fountain is filled with... something. I'm not sure what it does yet, but I doubt it's anything good.

*I look towards the fountain*

It seems like that's the case. This must be significant somehow.

@Vacare

Quick question. Are you two trying to charge those magic reservoirs underneath the fountain?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Kneels down and inspects the runes covering the fountain, half-smiling*
Lily and I have been partners for a long, long time. If we didn't poke each other, one of us would be strangled by now. Or exorcised, I guess.
*Glances at the spirit*
Not that it's any less annoying when you do it.

@Fractured

*Places my hands against my chest*
Gio! That's that nicest thing you've ever said to me.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Ahahaha, I see. I wonder if that's what I'll be like when I die... I assume that's how you also turned into a spirit?

*Puts a hand to my chin*

@Vacare

Nah! There’re all kinds of spirits where we come from, and I’ve been around forever!

*Karate chops you over your head*
Enough of your power fantasy. She means that it's the same as being a human, but with some sort of dysfunction to go along with it.

@Fractured

Owwwww, Giooooo!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

What's even like... Being a spirit and all?

@Vacare

Oh, y'know. Mostly the same as you, but without those gross ideas of pain and death. Then there's seeing the nature of reality beyond what the light grants you. And you can't forget spirit magic! Where the mere concepts of physical reality are putty in my hands and nations tremble before me! Where the pillars of the world would quake if I were not bound to this human! Fear me, mort—

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*after looked around, my body is laying down, breatinf steadily as I looked at the soul near my body*

It's...more of a blessing.

*I muttered, practically in a sleep like state.*

@Franxx

*Looks closely your presence in the spiritual realm*
Now that’s something you don’t see every day!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*I come back from inspecting some of the houses*

There's absolutely nothing here... Have you two found anything?

@Vacare

This entire place is squirming with magic!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*When Lily scans it, it immediately shows other hidden runes that glow an ominous red around the entirety of the courtyard some of which lead straight back into the dungeon*

@Vacare

Hey guys, I don’t think this place is all that safe. But we should activate these to be sure!
