>Tell them you believe an anomaly has saved your life and possibly changed you. Ask them to keep a lookout for any inhuman thoughts or beliefs. >Inspect the dream and what you can do here. Whatever is happening, you need to hurry to get your point across!
Getting up, you take a deep breath. "EVERYONE! SILENCE!"
Immediately, Aby jolts in surprise then huffs, meanwhile Spirit merely nods and smiles... Good. Time's a commodity you have little, judging by your surroundings.
With their attention at you begin walking towards the dark. "I think I... We were saved by an anomaly. I don't know, I really hope not... But it could have impacted me." You say and stand at the periphery of fire's light. "We don't know a lot. Please, be on a lookout for anything suspicious... Thoughts or beliefs count as well."
"Understood. It's over... I will be on my way. Got stuff to do of my own. Will report anything odd, assuming I won't handle it alone..." They smirk and leave, the color returns wherever they go... Hmm?
As Spirit walked away they seemed to clutch their heart(?). What does it mean?
Meanwhile Aby looked at you worriedly. Consternation radiates from her visage. Then with a breath she murmurs: " Yes... I'm aware. Something abnormal... Happened. Now everything will be different. I just don't know what she did... And what exactly it entrails... And..."
You don't pay much attention to her furtive stream of consciousness any further as you spot distortions closing in.
The dimly lit object in the distance...
No, it could be too dangerous, you will realize what's going some other way! What you could do is see the properties this 'dream', or 'plane' has...
... So you jump. And fall to the ground. Nothing out of ordinary, but your spontaneous gesture threw Aby out of her tangent, and she looks curiously... If not a little bit angrily.
"You try to see what rules govern this place?" She giggles, and you quickly nod, to which she grins having you figured out. "I've already did! I felt something was different, but on further examination, everything was Fine!" Hmm, so nothing out of ordinary? Then maybe... "You can just ask, you know"
"So nothing will happen if I touch 'it'?" You point at the distorted, colorless 'sand', or what use to be sand.
"Nothing, so far as my trials indicated!" Distortions are closing in, and behind them, even more dark. The time is up... Well, then pardon me... "But you better still be caref- what are you do-?!"
As you jump into the dingy substance that used to be sand, you see Aby's terrified visage... And ornate brown doors appearing behind her? Wha-?
>>5641265Although you have no time to ponder as you fall right through the seemingly immaterial substance into deep, deep sapphire swirl... "Aaghh-!"
