Kid you better not be dead... Or missing your other eye now.

Sky that is not how flying works. You're supposed to go up and/or horizontally, not straight down.

"Holy shit, you're AWAKE with all these injuries?"
"I...uh...where am I...? Wh...why does everything hurt...? ...why are you here?"
"I, uh, recommend not moving, or speaking, or doing basically anything that requires moving. A normal person would be dead with this level of injuries, let alone conscious."
"He's right. You're seriously lucky to be alive, kid. Especially given where you are."
"You never did actually tell me that."
"Tell you what?"
"Where we are."
"Oh. Well, hmm. I can tell you're not from around here, at least; your accents are like nothing I've ever heard before."
"Is that an insult?"
"Only if you don't like how your own voice sounds. Anyway, you'll find we're in the Oro region."
"Okay? I don't know what that is."
You and me both, King.
"You're kidding."
"Nope!"
ugh, I feel like I got split in half and then some terrible surgeon somehow successfully put me back together. The fuck did I do last night?

maybe you brought everyone to a different world... or moved through time. More then likely not but since I brought it up what exactly where you trying to cast when you through that shield up? Did you try and teleport and if so did you have a destination in mind?

Also what happened to Vess? Last I saw she was trying to get the local there to actually help you since he wanted nothing to do with you on the count of your wings.

>>714680
I think you shielded a small area from the end of the world. That area then wound up in a different world entirely, probably because it had nowhere else to go.

Sky, do you remember reading that text in your dream? Did it make sense to you? Otherwise I suppose we'll have to decode it. It's a small text sample though, I'm not confident decoding will work.

Well, I don't know if it was last night, it's kind of hard to tell, But at least it seems like you tried to shield your friends from something, It seemed like a good idea to you at the moment, and apparently it worked.

At least you are alive, and it seems you will have time to get better. And Vess seems to be fine

Speaking of wings.. You lost them?

>>714783
I still see them. There should still be a couple holes in them though.

Why do I get the sneaking suspicion that something apocalyptic happened, and you were all somehow sent to the distant future?

-grk-

So what I did last night is go insane, apparently! Or earlier, and I just don't remember--

Mana corruption. Fuck.

Well, I guess talking to the voices in my head is better than talking to no-one.

"Hey, Sky, are you alright?"
"Erm, wait, stupid question, nevermind."

so what does mana corruption really do to someone? All we got for an explanation last time is some panicked yelling and that it was bad. that's it. Could you expand on that so we actually have an idea just how bad man corruption is cause from what I'm hearing it sounds kinda like frostbite.

>>715633
Ohhhh, you forgot everything from last night? Including us showing up? That's really inconvenient! Maybe we can jog your memory...

Okay let's start from the beginning. At first we didn't even know why we were talking to you, so you explained a little about magic and then brought us to see your friends. We immediately caught you have a crush on Vess so let's get past that right away. Then Amy took you into the hall to talk to you in private, cast some kind of really powerful spell on you which caused your eye to go bonkers, then told you that we're known as "The Voices" and our presence meant something terrible was about to happen and this marked the beginning of your "quest".

Then we wound up switching into Vess's head, and uhhhh how about we keep our conversation with her private. Anyway, while we were talking to her, you showed up. Amy was missing, and Vess couldn't contact her via magic, so we assumed she was dealing with issues in her own way. You asked both Vess and King to donate mana so you could cast a protective spell, then cast it. The world outside the barrier seemed to shatter, then everything went black.

We woke up in Vess's head after that and you were on top of what seemed to be a circular cut-out of the floor you were standing on before the world shattered, with all the injuries you have now. Vess kinda freaked out a bit, some guy showed up and called you a "winged one" and almost refused to help, but I guess either Vess or King convinced him to help anyway.

>>715648
By eye I mean your missing eye. It sortof exploded into light, and stayed lit like that until after the world shattered.

(I just realized that due to the characters being aware of us, compared to normal quests our role is very meta here.)

Sky, We voices have real people behind them. To us.. you are literally but a story in which we have a voice, what would here be considered a work of fiction. However, Creation is infinite. Anything and everything anyone has ever dreamed, dreams, or will dream of, everything ever written and everything ever imagined, is real at some time, somewhere.

Though we may be separated by time, space, and even universes themselves, through this story. This... Quest. We have a brief window into your life in which we can communicate, and we're here to help.

By the way, you're not insane, and we can prove it.
We are part of an advanced civilization that lacks any and all magic. What we do have is knowledge, techniques, and technology. Thousands of years of it. Available at our fingertips, and to you, through our voices.

So if you think your crazy, ask us a for something you couldn't possibly know. A concept, a machine, a design for a weapon, how to turn lightning into a tool without magic. Anything. You might be surprised.

>>715774
Ehhhhhhhh, not every quest where we're literal voices has a meta element to it. So maybe you shouldn't try breaking the fourth wall.

>>715783
Everyone broke that wall way back on frame 2.
I'm just stepping through the gaping hole.

Okay so I tried to decrypt the writing in the dream, and there's really no way to do it. There's so many symbols it could be any number of things, but I guess it could be something like:

BEWARE THE BLACK R**E*
where the last three * are each different letters from the rest. RIDER doesn't work of course. It starting with BEWARE makes sense and the three symbols after that are most likely THE, then BLACK fits for the third word but I suppose it could, again, be anything that fits B*A** where the *s are different from every other letter.

Here's a disthread while I get lazy drawing the next update: http://tgchan.org/kusaba/questdis/res/99166.html

OH BOY LEMME WRITE YOU A FUCKING BOOK.
Today marks the sixth time I've gone through this shit and I will never know why I keep doing it because of amnesia.
The affects, perhaps definitively because of this repeated stupidity, are very familiar to me. I'm practically an expert on it by now.

So let's go over the basic ones:

Amnesia, as established. Usually only for about 6 to 8 hours before the mana corruption takes place, but everything in that time-frame is basically a cutoff. Like it goes from there to here with nothing in-between. It's weird.
Dizziness, drowsiness, headaches, vision problems. The usual.
The nausea also kind of sucks.
More uniquely, you can't taste or smell anything when corrupted. It's like your senses just give up in that category.
Also twitching and random pain. I mean, on top of the pain that's already present. ugh.
Of course there's also the weird magical cuts (one's on my arm I can fucking feel it it hurts), and finally it's impossible to use magic under these conditions. And if you want to try anyway, well, don't say I didn't warn you.
(of course there's some other things but I'm a little worried those might be personal things so I'm gonna refrain from talking about them.)

>>718044
Oh great. What do you usually do? Why do you not know what causes it, when there should be witnesses when it happens?

I blame Amy for this occurrence, by the way. She obviously did something to you. Maybe she did the same thing to you on previous occasions in order to get you to do stuff that needed a lot of mana.

>>718070
She did something, but I don't think either she or you is powerful enough to be responsible for all the weird stuff going on.

Wait, you've corrupted yourself before? Damn I the way Vess was talking about it I thought it was a lot more fatal then it is. Oh and how long does this crap normally take to ware off? And why don't you want to talk about the mood swings or seeing things?

>>718044
well something very bad happened and you did something very good, with he help of your friends.
Life just hates you sometimes. Should find a way to magically bitch slap it some time.

"Now let's hurry up and fix you up."

Oh cool! Ask him what that was. That didn't look like the magic we've seen so far.

while I find it cool that he has a hidden door, part of my is wondering WHY he has a hidden door. Usually people have those when they're trying to hide something or from something

When he Says "Fix This" He means your Mana Corruption, Right?

Anyway, there is little you can do right now, Try to rest as much as you can. I wonder If we could try to go with King. like we did with Vess, Althouhg I don't know how we did that...

It was just an enchantment. Although, being much more difficult to cast than a normal spell and that specific enchantment being only usable by the one who cast it, it probably means he's a mage. I can't ask him anything, though. It hurts to open my mouth, let alone make words come out of it.
"Now, when you're all awake and not slowly dying of blood loss, I'll have to ask you a few questions."
>>720446
From the way he's talking, I'd assume there's some sort of danger around here or something. Given the whole "especially where you are" comment, anyway.

-urh-
God dammit this hurts.
"Namely, why you're acting like you've been living under a rock for your entire life."
"I'm, uhh--"
"I just said later. Keep moving."
...isn't this place technically also under a rock?
>>720641
I think he means my everything. I hope he means my everything. Holy fuck this is painful.
And, uh, yeah, I have no idea what you're talking about there.
>>715637
It's normally a lot worse, actually. I don't know if I've, like, built up an immunity to it, or I've just not gone far enough with it to get a deadly case of it, or whatever else, but deaths resulting from it are not terribly uncommon. I guess I'm just lucky??
>>715648
Uh, wow, hm. That's a lot of shit to take in. How the fuck did you even... I'm not gonna ask, nevermind. 'Some guy', I'm presuming, is the one over there with Vess on his back? What happened to her? Did she get knocked out or something? Shit, is she okay? Dammit, I hate not being able to move. And, uh, the "winged one" comment sounds interesting. I'll have to ask him about it, I guess. You know, when I'm "not slowly dying of blood loss."

-urgh-
>>718070
Ermh, Amy's always been a strange one, but I don't think she's, uh...
>>718080
Yeah, what they said.

>>721691
We didn't see how Vess passed out, sorry. If the stranger is a mage then it seems likely he cast a sleep spell on her.

dude you're bleeding like crazy out of your missing eye. How bad does that hurt compared to the rest of you?

...Did somebody say something?

>>721979
Yes. Hello. Please don't freak out, we're friends of Sky and Vess. We're some sort of magical phenomenon that manifests as voices, called The Voices. Great name, huh?

Anyway, I'm glad we can talk to you now. First we were with Vess but she just panicked about Sky until we swapped back into Sky, who can't move at all.

What happened to Vess? Did she get a sleep spell cast on her?

Maybe? King looks like he heard something but if so I didn't catch what was said... unless we jumped to king... Sky are you still awake or did you pass out? Because if you passed out and with Vess also out that means we'd jump to king.

>>721979
We're basically voices that give advice, and we usually show up before some sort of upheaval or cataclysm.

Though uh, we usually have a lot more time than we did back there.

We're still trying to get a grip on what happened ourselves, but it's a safe bet that you're all in a different place (and possibly time). Just follow the guy for now, and he'll probably enlighten you about where and when you are now.

At least, assuming that he doesn't poison/imprison/report you and your friends for helping a Winged One anyways, which is presumably bad or dangerous or political or something, judging by his earlier reaction. Accept his help, but don't trust him blindly.

>>722283
No, seriously, We had like maybe 10 minutes before everything kicked off. That was NUTS. I swear, if we got summoned (that happens on occasion), whoever did it needs to learn the concept of an 'adjustment period'. Geez.

Vess just straight up passed out. I think maybe from stress? It wasn't magic, I don't think.
>>722283
Cyrus is a cool dude. Doubt he'd do that. Hope he doesn't do that.
Apparently dudes with wings are like, super discriminated against or something. Something about a civil war? Everyone's super afraid of them now apparently.
>>722335
Now you know how I feel.

so uh, Sky side he's suffered from mana corruption before. How long does that usually take to recover from?

>>722950
What do you think of your friends?

Oh, by the way since Sky is awake, you can maybe reassure him a little.

>>722951
It depends on the severity of the case. Sky's had it before, but never for longer than a week. There have actually been some cases so bad in the school that some kids have died from it though, including one of my other friends, which totally sucks. It's one of the reasons I haven't really tried to get better with my magic. Might do something dumb with it. I dunno, it's a dumb reason, but...eh.

Anyway, it's pretty easily avoidable if you don't TRY to push yourself too hard.

>>722960
That's a bit of a strange question. I guess I don't really have a reason not to answer it, though.

Sky's odd. I can never really tell what he's thinking or how he's feeling. I mean, a contributing factor might be the eye thing, but it's not just that. He's a cool guy though, and I respect his dedication. I still wanna know how he lost his eye, though. I hope it was something super badass, like he lost it protecting his family or some shit. That would be metal.

For Vess, freaking out like she did earlier is kinda normal for her. She has difficulty managing stress. Although, I don't think it's ever been bad enough that she's passed out before. Then again, Sky was--is kinda dying a little, and I'm preeeeetty sure she has a bit of a crush on him.
They'd make a great couple. I totally ship it.

Amy is...Well. She's Amy. Nobody else gets the same feeling from her that I do; that is, one of being incredibly freaked out. She's so very clearly not normal, at least to me, and I'm not just saying that because she's blind. Her voice sounds filtered, like it was recorded and played back over itself. And nobody seems to hear this but me. And background noise always seems to get quieter whenever she speaks. And nobody seems to hear this but me. And she seems to make these odd staticky noises when she breathes. And nobody seems to hear this but me.
You get the picture, I hope.
I don't know where she is right now, though, or if she even still IS.


Ugh, Sky's bleeding on me now. I really hope he doesn't throw up or something.
Or die. He definitely better not die.

he's also awake but can't really say anything right now. Might as well let him know that you're getting him help and where you are if you can. Cause I'm sure the questions of where are we going and where am I are pretty high on his list of things to ask.

>>727377
Yeah I agree with you on Amy being weird. She did some sort of super-complicated spell just before Sky's eye went all glowy and we became aware of just how much time was left before the world cracked.

Sounds believable to me about weird effects around Amy, considering the weird conversation we had with her before the whatever happened. Have you seen any other weird things like that which other people don't seem to notice?

>>727377
Yeah, Amy is...concerning, would be the word I'd use.

She knew about us before we told her. That is NOT a thing that happens often, and usually the ones that DO know before we show up just know of us due to legends or heresay. Amy straight up popped a spell and read our nametag, so to speak.

Do us a solid, maybe keep an eyeball on her when she shows up? I'm a touch paranoid, admittedly, but a smart rule of thumb we've noticed throughout the millenia is that anyone who ACTUALLY knows about us in advance or connects to US instead of the other way around is someone to keep tabs on.
