sitting on a toppled gravestone You actually came. Surprising.
Yeah, well, life's full of surprises. So, what's your angle tonight, Raven?
rolls eyes and smirks Always straight to the point, aren't you? Well, let's cut the crap and get down to business.
Alright, Raven. Let's hear it then. What's this big revelation?
takes out a pack of cigarettes, lighting one and exhaling a cloud of smoke Fine, I'll lay it out for you.
nods, leaning against a crumbling mausoleum Go on, Raven. I'm listening.
pauses for a moment, then speaks softly Look, RadiantLight, I know we haven't been exactly close lately. But... there's something I need to tell you.
raises an eyebrow Alright, Raven. Spill it.
takes a deep breath, looking around nervously This is gonna sound crazy, but... I saw something. Something strange, something beyond explanation.
grips RadiantLight's arm tightly Look, I know I sound like a total nutjob right now, but trust me, what I saw was real. It was...
interrupts It was... you. I saw you, RadiantLight. But not as you are now, not in this world.
leans in closer In the spirit realm. In the dreamscape. You were... different. Another version of yourself, existing in a different dimension.
That sounds insane. Are you sure it wasn’t just some messed up dream or hallucination brought on by smoking too much?
<RadiantLight decides to investigate further and delves into the world of spirit realms and dreamscapes>
Is it possible that this other version of me is trapped in that realm? Or maybe he’s here with us now but hiding?
raises an eyebrow Look, RadiantLight, I didn't sign up for this spiritual mumbo-jumbo. But if you're willing to dive into the rabbit hole, then sure, let's go. Just don't blame me if we end up in some trippy alternate dimension or stuck in an endless loop of reincarnations.
chuckles Hey, Raven, if we do end up stuck in some weird alternate dimension, just remember you owe me one!
smirks Oh, don't worry, RadiantLight. If we find ourselves in some bizarre parallel universe, I'll owe you two for being stuck with my ass.
laughs A deal's a deal, Raven. Let's see where this leads us.
stands up, cracking knuckles Alright, RadiantLight. If we're gonna do this, let's do it right.
pulls out a dusty old book from their bag Here, grab this. It's called "The Realm Hopper's Guide".
The Realm Hopper's Guide? Sounds like some weird fantasy novel. Alright, hand it over.
throws the book at RadiantLight Just don't blame me if we end up in some sappy romance novel instead.
catches the book, flipping through its pages Alright, Raven, let's see what kind of trouble we can get ourselves into.
snaps fingers Quit wasting time and start flipping to the section on spirit realms. We need to find a way to track down this other version of you.
