*A wall of blood wraps around him, shielding him from future attacks*
*No incoming attacks appear, and upon looking around finds himself in a white mental landscape, the floor rippling like water when he takes a step even though it's completely dry. Hr can see around for miles to a horizon line, and if he look up he'll see something like clouds and fog hanging high up in what could probably be called a sky, whatever is beyond them cannot be seen. Everything is well lit with no obvious source of illumination.*

Shinji: Oh, Interesting. Sorry for freaking out.
"It's fine, a lot of this is still unknown to you. In any case, do you want to go visit our guest?"
Nah it's fine. I'm just trying to find my own words so that I can properly explain to shadow dragon how this all works while also answering questions and keeping up. I should be ready to go in a moment, so I'm thankful for your patience.
It rips wormholes between worlds, dimensions, and time, by literally eating away at the dimensions untill it rips.
Can both of you please wait a moment before continuing? I need to gather information and get all of us up to speed on how this situation is gonna play out.
"Chill, chill and give me a second to respond." *Materializes and squints.* "Looks like we've got a unintended intruder. Don't worry about it though, they'll just be kicked to their unconscious plane once they're in. After that, we can go meet up with them."
Arriving back just in time to see a lot of blades impaling a lot of lost from a distance, Diamond realized that the fight was going to be trickier then the last. Knowing, regrettably, that charging in to hit things would be a bad idea with her strength, Diamond took out her light automatic and started shooting any lost that weren't being handled otherwise, unconsciously activating slugger once or twice.
With the system's notification, Nira was soon made aware that she finally had magic analysis. This made her quite happy, as the ability to analyse magic would be of great use in her efforts to learn it. If she were to look at it's description again later, she might even find a hint for other other similar skills. Putting the thought away as she and Femus talked about the scavenger trap, she soon heard a squeal. One that she almost recognized. Turning her head to look, she soon knew the reason why.
*Speak of the devil!* *Pixie trouble inbound.*
The pixie Nira was considering taming once she had the skill was now rushing towards her and Femus with a few other pixies in tow. Nira didn't feel too worried for her own safety, since pixies were likely to invite other pixies to the mischief, but she was worried about what might happen if they decided to mess with or even attack Femus. Even with the shield she had casted on him earlier from their scuffle with the hobgoblin, there was no guaranty he'd be able to get away without some damage.
Thinking on her feet and reviewing her memories, Nira soon had a plan in mind. Keeping her voice low so as to hope that only Femus could hear it, Nira quickly spoke. "Lets save our hunting plan for later. Too many to fight, I'll try distracting while you try leaving."
Flying up to meet them, Nira waved her hand at the green haired pixie with a smile. "Nice seeing you again! Who are your friends?" Hopefully the surprise of her speaking would distract the group of pixies well enough for Femus to make his exit. If Nira could, she would try to make the best of this situation. *System, display skill list.*

Shinji:wonder aimlessly? I don't know what I'm doing, here. Everything you've said makes perfect-and at the same time- no sense at all. In my personal experience, everyone has their own definition of sanity. Its all subjective. Nothing about it is concrete.
*Laughs.* That's very true, but also false at the same time. One's own sanity is subjective, but that doesn't mean that there aren't shared common parts amongst others that can help improve one's own mental stability.
It's like the shard fragments I talked about, you can pick and choose amongst those values and concepts you understand to become the kind of person you want to be while discarding everything else. But after the passage of time and the impacts of some experiences, it does oneself some good to re-evaluate who they want to be and take another look at what they're carrying around, especially if they're hurting themselves or breaking down under the pressure.
So with that said, why not work off of what you already understand, and go from there? Or ask me about the parts that make no sense to you. So long as you're at least being proactive about it, you'll be getting somewhere.
<Snipped quote by Stabby> Shinji: ...fine. truth be told, I believe this is all a waste of time, considering that Fairy Blue is most likely capable of helping in every aspect of this; but sure, lets do this.
...ugh, come back. I didnt mean for you to run off. You surely understand how upsetting this is for me, correct?
Well yea, it's like being given a mountain of homework after you've already made other plans. *I don't reappear, but you can still hear me.* And I can understand on an emotional level that you can't just shift priorities, but I honestly do think that just leaving you to it might produce results faster. You seem to want to do things your own way, and frankly us arguing about how this process should be attempted is just going to waste time.
So in the interest of getting somewhere, please attempt this as you want. You'll learn faster from first hand experience about what is and isn't effective for your own mental health, and in doing so will probably be more comfortable with the process. I'll still be around to explain things and help if you ask, but this stuff really is up to you in the end, even for as much as I might want to guide you through it.
