Kirina: whats that?

@souleaterfan320

*Pulls the string taunt a few times, grinning a little.*
I could pull your leg and say it's a red string of fate, buuuuut in reality it's just a pice of string I'll be using as a physical link between you and me.
*Points at the fuzzy glowing 'doorway' I just opened.*
That's because this portal I just opened is actually several portals squished together between a bunch of dimensions. Until I navigate my way through this mess and give a tug on the string, you'll have a pretty low likelihood of being able to follow me and an exponentially larger one of getting spit out into some random dimension instead.

Coolio. *Picks up the bag and walks outside to an uncrowded section of the street, off to the side.*
Alright, this is going to be a little tricky since I'll be using a harder to trace method, so I'm gonna need a minute or two.
*Starts to slowly open a portal with my hands, looking as if I'm almost gently ripping the space in front of us open to reveal a blurred and fuzzy colored doorway. After about 3 minutes, I'm done doing so and I pull out a long piece of red string.*

So it this advanced payment would only eat away like half of their future rather than all of it, then when they use it again it eats away the other half?

@ZAVAZggg

That's the basic idea of my suggestion, but it doesn't have to be half. It could be whatever you feel is fitting.

Kirina: oh man, that's gotta be interesting to keep up with.

@souleaterfan320

It is, but there isn't too much discrepancy since they really only go to one other dimension for school or to hang out with their friends. I don't even want to imagine the madness I'd have to keep up with if I let them wander freely.

Waitress - *Cheerfully* Hope you have a good day.
- You too. *Gets up and puts the to go boxes into the bag.*
You ready to go?

Of course. Though I haven't yet considered what would happen to the field if they did.

EDIT: Maybe the field still remains so long as the ring is active? Or maybe it could be a distance thing. So the further away you are, the less chance it has to affect you?

@ZAVAZggg

What about if it takes an "advanced payment" equal to maybe half of the user's current "debt" and makes it so that if they ever use the ring again the "debt is forever permanent, regardless of if they keep it or not? Kinda like a curse mark.

Kirina: *lights up*
Children! I didn't know you had any.

@souleaterfan320

*My smile turns a bit motherly.*
Yea, a little kid of my own. They're about to turn six, but with interdimensional time shenanigans I wouldn't count their birthday as an exact measure of how old they are.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

I say it's a permanent thing as it effectively eats away all the users years past 100, forcing them to live up to that age and that age only. Well, not really forcing, more like barring any further aging past that point. The user can still die before that through various means, hence why I had the suit keep its wearer in their physical prime despite their age.

@ZAVAZggg

Ahhhhh.... Ok
It's more of a "the price you pay" kind of consequence, which is pretty interesting. Can they ever take the ring off btw?

Myriad Reality

Been tied up in a few things so I haven't read the ooc until now, but..

@ZAVAZggg
Have you decided the increment at which this parasite ring will leach the user's life? Is it a permanent thing where they will die at X time, or can other life extension factors help pay off some of the "debt"?
I'm wondering about it since limits often work well when they're serious enough to be considered both in and out of character.

Kirina: *laughs*

Fair enough. I'll take you up on that offer!

@souleaterfan320

*Smiles and laughs a little as well.* Alright!
Be warned my kid might bring their friends over from time to time to play in the living room though.

Kirina:
Nice! Good call.

@souleaterfan320

I figured it would keep well in the fridge at my place.
*Finishes packing up the second box and sits down.*
Speaking of which, I've got a guest bedroom if you need someplace to chill. I can't imagine the endless has the most interesting of residences or an interest in good internet given his demeanor.
