"Please," said Jeffery. "I need to know. It's a matter of life and death."

@Nathrangking

He wants power that he cannot possibly control. Ancient deities forgive me. I don't turn as the words reach me. I reach through the spirit connection that Fadran made. "Fadran tell Vapor's father that the answer that he desires can be found between the realms. Say to him that I have no more answers for him." @Channelknight Fadran

When the rest of the group appeared into Queen's field of vision, she rushed up, seeming as if she was about to embrace Fadran, stopping herself before she reached them. "I'm glad you're safe."

 Gonna go back in time for this...

"You too." He smiles, a little more awkwardly than usual.

There you go, Ene. Make of it as you will.

"He desires the secrets of mindscapes. He plays a dangerous game seeking powers that could pose a danger to everyone. He claims that it is life and death. I will not have that on my head, but nor will I simply give him that which poses a danger to us all."

Oookay, then. He clears his throat mentally, then realizes his problem and clears his actual thoat. "So, uh, Jeffery... Mindscape stuff is very dangerous. Like, we all might die kind of dangerous."

Winter watches the talking people, his red eyes reflecting off yet absorbing the sky.

"It is your reality. If your reality is reality, then make it reality, and it will become reality. Of course, someone like you could never do it."

Then, he speaks, addressing Nath. "It is very possible to absorb your mindscape, the same way you could.. let's say, as I absorb emotions. That is the real reason why I need your mindscape. If you give it to me, then I will release all whom I have consumed. And I will leave you and never return."

“I grew up a far way away. I was trained from childhood to be a soldier. In my past. . . I have made many mistakes. . .” He shuddered. “Now, I am trying to redeem myself. I am on a quest to find a purpose in life. I am sorry.  I will speak no more of my past.” He looked at his feet for a few moments and then looked back up. “Is there anything I should know about any of you?”

Hmmmm. Verrrrrry interesting. It appeared that this fellow was simply another broken soul. That didn't mean he was trustworthy, though. He wasn't a defined enemy, so she wasn't going to torture it out of him... yet. She was going to need to use a different tactic than normal.

In a kind voice, the Fox said, "I am called the Fox. Don't worry about your past, we all have similar stories. I understand that being comfortable with sharing isn't something that happens overnight." The Fox inhaled slightly. She was going to take a risk. She reached her right hand into her sleeve, and pulled out three different knives, a moldy bagel, a gold stopwatch, and a pad of white sticky-notes covered in scribbles, which she stuffed out of the way into the main pocket of her hoodie. The Fox then pulled back her left sleeve, revealing her skin beneath. 

"Look right here." She said, pointing to the inside of her elbow. "Do you see it?" She knew that if a person looked directly at her arm, they would see a wide jagged scar. "We all have stories." The Fox quickly covered the scar, and placed her stuff back into the secret pockets inside, and walked ahead, not prompting further conversation. 

Just another tactic. She thought. To get information. Right? She was just leveraging her resources to gain control, wasn't she? Or, was this who she was? Was this a facade, or was it real? This group was doing wacky things to her brain. Or, was her brain becoming unclouded for the first time. Which was it?

The Fox let her attention slide to the only thing that could keep her focused. The pain. Ahhh, yes. Every step was like a new dagger being stabbed into her feet. She was in control of herself. Of her emotions. She knew who she was. She sly... as a fox.

Quote

btw, I'm thinking that at some point in the distant future, somehow someone's gonna find away to get rid of the Fox's pain, and she's going to discover that it never really gave her focus, but reinforced the negative thoughts and emotions that prevent her from trusting and being herself.

Winter thinks that if he takes Nath's mindscape, he will obtain Nath's emotions.

Take a sword, for example. You can store that in a mindscape and pull it out later, so when your mindscape (Like Winter's) has no perception of space, then why can't you hold a mindscape inside of a mindscape?

I utter not a word as all of these conversations go on around me. I think nothing letting everything slide over me. I watch reality bend in a way similar to the way that a mindscape might. The next moment whisper is gone. I turn and walk over to Vapor's father. "You have little idea of what powers you are playing with. Be glad that battle was not engaged here. Had it you would have learned why mindscapes are not to be trifled with. Do not ask me to teach you for I shall never do it. You use your daughter as a pawn scholar I shall have no part in this." I turn to Fadran. "That was brave, but foolish. Winter might well have consumed you and once he did so all would have been lost." I reach through our spirit bond. "His beliefs make him dangerous. He seeks that which he cannot understand. Never offer your mindscape to anyone ever again swear this or I shall teach you no more."

No one asks me about my backstory, I either impose it on them unasked or don't share. Also, Herate has no idea about all of this mindscape stuff, so you'll need to explain it to her later.

Herate relaxed some. The demon was gone, and most of the threat along with him. She kept her silence, as was her habit, but she pried the stamp off of her arm and resolved to make smaller stamps that were easier to carry around. Maybe she could make them into earrings?

It could be the same, because Mordred told the dragon gal to follow the spaceships when they took off, and she agreed? So like, godmodding but legal?
