[OPEN] DERSE MINGLE

[patriachy]

DERSE, also known as the Kingdom of Darkness is one of the two kingdoms in the INCIPISPHERE, located beyond The Veil of asteroids that surround the Medium. DERSE wages an unending war against the Light Kingdom, PROSPIT, striving for the destruction of SKAIA.

Those who dream on DERSE are viewed generally more as "team mascots"; although the DERSITE residents consider the DREAMERS to be their allies, THE ULTIMATE GOAL will eventually put the DREAMERS at odds with the residents of DERSE, who covet SKAIA'S destruction.

It is time for the DREAMERS to begin awakening.

[ Meanwhile, out in the Furthest Ring, there is a scrawny troll staring out into the abyss. The abyss is staring back. And it's freaking Eighis out. ]

What the... What the fuck am I looking at!? What the hell are those!?

What is even going on!?

[ And in his panic, he yells all of that. ]

[ out here in the furthest ring, there is no concept of time. seconds feel like eons, and several of them pass before something nigh-intelligible breaks the silence. ]

[ If the abyss staring back at him was enough to freak Eighis out, then the abyss talking back would really do it. He lets out a yelp in his fright, and it takes him a while to calm down enough to say anything coherent. ]

"Knight." It's always, "Knight". First that damned sprite, then the spiders, and now... what ever that was.

It's better than "Leader", I guess. Definitely much better than "Leader".

...er... Who am I even talking to?

I'd ask how you could be everything and nothing both at once. By most logic, that should be impossible; something either is or it isn't. But I get the feeling that such concepts don't really apply here.

er... Yeah. I hate to say it, but giving up on logic seems to be the only reasonable conclusion. Nothing in this fucking game makes sense. Logic and reason are pretty much useless here.
