I don't know. Something about this world seemed to corrupt him, but my head's fuzzy too. Can't you dive into his memories or something?

@Host

Unfortunately nope. Whatever happened to him, and wherever he is now, cause he most certainly didn't stop existing, that glitching just made him no-clip somewhere, he is completely off-grid, whenever the corruption started, it is as if the very tesseract network rejected him and his tesseract entirely like holy-water burning a demon. My network doesn't share psychic connection, we each have our own individual memories and that's why i have to check back home base every week, because a week out here equals 5 years back in thaliome.

He seemed to be affected by this world. It's possible the energy drain got to him.

@Host

huh, i've been drained before energetically... never turned me into a walking zombie. Nor made me look at myself like the literal devil's got a plan in mind.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Multiverse>

Phylolial or whatever you said.

@Host

Phylactery... A religious talisman used in prayers... nevermind. A thing that has supernatural properties that is needed for a supernatural purpose. Also, have any clue what actually happened to my other self you were with before?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Multiverse>

And that word means...?

@Host

Which... word... ? *Deadpan confused face*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Multiverse>

Was your Prism ever able to do any of that?
*Waves it off*
We'll find out once the reunification is complete.

@Host

I mean yeah, once we both were officially declared the prophets of my reality's God. I have this cube thingy tesseract, and you had some transcendent royal clothes as a power nexus, which you could remove or change with a thought. I think they are some form of phylactery...

*Wordlessly lifts my fist and slams it into the ground, creating a massive crater from the gravity well*
That answer your question? And I certainly haven't been wandering fifty years from my perspective.

@Host

*blinks perplexed in the power flex* And is that all?... also, yeah, time displacement shenanigans, Thaliome has a funny way of sticking the finger to the baseline time-flow... it's a whole thing. Gives me a serious migraine having to check back in every week elsewhere in existence that has a 'normal' time-flow... If the word normal even has any meaning at all once you discovered a hundred different time displaced speeds for one hundred different reality clusters.

Wait, so you seriously only have gravity-related powers? No rune magic? Reality-Alteration? Post-enlightenment omnipresent awareness?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Multiverse>

*Shakes my head*
I don't have many memories at all. I have to go on this journey, track down Nomad—er, "former Prisms," and reignite with the other fragments before becoming whole once more.

@Host

So you went for a trip huh? You left because you had something important to deal with, and that was about 50 years ago from my perspective at least, been searching for you all over, meanwhile trying to find one particularly nasty devil. The universe we landed on right after escaping that cataclysm, seems to be actually quite populated, though not in the immediate vicinity of my planet. And what powers do you posses? If you really are a fragment of the Prism i knew, you must, at the very least, possess similar abilities to me...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Multiverse>

*Stretches my arms after the hug*
I'm an immaterial piece of your former friend, which the name might imply. And I'm not the only fragment either. We came to this world to hunt down Nomad, and it appears those entities were leeching off the life force of those in the lower layers.

@Host

Right... i'm going too... this is going to be awkward, but what with my former self becoming, whatever THAT was... officially being unplugged from the tesseract network, i don't know what entities you faced, other than *Proceeds to see the frozen cosmic ghosts* Ah... THOSE entities... Also, this will be redundant and probably annoying... who's nomad? And since i found you, or... er... some version of you, you kinda just left our up and burgeoning base, feeling like returning there? Or do you also not actually have the memory of the base back in Thaliome?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Multiverse>

*Pinches the bridge of my nose*
Sure. But I'm still not the man you knew. Not yet.

@Host

*Proceeds to what is possible one of the most awkward one-sided bro-hugs* So... How should i put this. Everything that, the goner copy of me did with you, or since however long ago you two met... yeah, i'm in the blanks. Meaning What have you two been up to, and... that scene i entered in, brother! I only managed to track you two this fast because my tesseract was going all kinds of crazy on me. So Ambition. Why the name change?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Multiverse>

What you need to understand about me is that I am Prism, but I am also not. My name is Ambition, and I am one of the Fragments.

@Host

Riiight... At the very least i can understand the fragment bit, since this weird ass power to copy came from you and... *I point to where the corrupt copy was and vanished* That, became its own thing... So... can i hug you in a 'missed you buddy' way? Or...?
