I hope you'll turn them away.

@Artifact

They don’t come into any of the areas that I would call personal quarters anyway. I’ll keep them outside or we’ll stay in the work related rooms, but turning them away isn’t an option, exactly.

And none are expected?

@Artifact

Expected, no. But one or two could come knocking for a variety of reasons.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

How many people can access this realm?

@Artifact

This realm? I dunno, just about anyone. But the number of people who can get inside here with no trouble are around a dozen, all of whom I trust, but most of which wouldn’t show up anyway.

*Nods*
You're right. But I don't want to sit here, helpless.

@Artifact

You’re more than welcome to sit here, though. In fact, I recommend it. You’re likely exhausted.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I know you're not, other than your pixie friend over there. I just need to come up with something.

@Artifact

Time is likely on our side. If that thing is an eternal entity that’s been asleep with no known record of activity, I’d say there is no rush.

I...
*Looks at the wall where the portal opened*
I don't want to talk about that.

@Artifact

You don’t have to. I’ll reiterate, I’m not here to make you do anything.

I used the power of the Mind Dragon to enter the mind's realm with that thing.

@Artifact

What an experience that must have been.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Last time it nearly woke up. It took everything I had to calm it down.

@Artifact

I’m curious what it takes to calm it down. Cosmic teddy bear?

The backup plan used to be to slowly chip away at its soul, but that's not an option anymore.

@Artifact

Because it’s responsive to doing that?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

And you don't happen to have a ready solution, do you?

@Artifact

I would definitely say that I don’t.
