III. ♔ Video
[Time for your scheduled public service announcement. At his console, Richard's arms are folded and his tone level. After talking to Sadie, he has realized that they can't continue with people being ignorant of the situation.]
For those who aren't yet aware, in Sinbrilee, there are marble arches with runes on them. The gateways with runs that seem to glow with a faint light lead to the realm of Dreaming, while the gates to Death have runes oozing a black substance.
Be careful of both. The worlds both shape themselves to the minds of those within. Dreaming can be pleasant, if you are in such a state of mind, but if you are not, it can be cruel. Death is always malicious. If you come to harm in either realm, that injury may prove to be very real. [Hidden in the folds of his sleeves, his hand tightens into a fist.] In at least one case, an injury has been. It's most likely that healing magic won't work there, nor any other abilities to protect you that require Tu Vishan's energy to function.
[Richard unfolds his arms so he can brush his bangs from his eyes.] I'd like to know if anyone has done any research on the gateways themselves or the realms beyond. Given that one seems the home territory of the being we've been brought here to handle, some understanding of how to move in and out of it could be an advantage.

[ but even so, the rest of his body follows his head through the portal as he steps through. his loose pants immediately balloon up in the water and, making a disgusted noise, he pushes the fabric under.
richard's right, sure enough. the portal closes behind him; there's no longer any need to maintain it. the frown's camped on his face now. ]
Perhaps it's interference from the archway's portal-- the energies might've... [ trailing off, he pointedly avoids the idea that he might've just plain failed. anything but that. ]
action.
I'm not familiar with the theory behind your portals, but if it couldn't open within the realms because of the cut-off of power, perhaps it ended up redirected to the nearest equivalent point.
action.
he shakes his head vehemently. ] There shouldn't be a need for a reciprocated transfer of energy on the other side-- it's not as if you need a person on the other side of a door to help you open it.
[ by normal standards, he's hardly agitated -- but it's likely the most upset richard's seen him. there's a deep furrow in his brow, one clearly acquired over several lifetimes of puzzling out the same sorts of mysteries. ]
I just don't have the power to do this, not even with the Eliacube. Not yet, at any rate. [ if possible, his frown deepens. ] Goddess! If my sister were here, this wouldn't even be an issue.
