Temporal pixies

[Nephrite]

"With your permission," Moore says as he turns back to the Empty Knight, "We'd like to try and... well, the long and short of it is that you may lose this ability entirely, but I think... I have a feeling it'll be something you can control once we're done, but just be aware that may not fit with Creation's rules. Is it all right if we proceed?"

[Anastasia]

Explain.

[Nephrite]

"So, we have some experience with things outside of Creation, as I said." Moore says. "You may be familiar with it - the Beyond, the Outer Spheres, the place that's outside of Creation. We've all been there. We have the... training, I suppose, to take things that are 'outside' of Creation and fit it into Creation's rules. I think the ability you have is... I don't know that I can say it's from the Beyond, but it's very much like it, something that just doesn't... quite fit." He explains.

After a moment, "What we'd be doing is effectively setting your ability so it's fully... 'whole' - that is to say, it's from outside of Creation, but it follows the rules of Creation, so you wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. The problem is I can't tell you exactly what it will look like afterwards, but I can say we've dealt with these sorts of things and it won't cause you any harm or duress." Moore says. A glance over to Xandra. "I think I got all of that right."

[Anastasia]

"He did," Xandra concurs.

"In theory it will work," Sylvie cuts in, "But your ability's nature means it could go wrong, and I suspect you know that's part of the risk."

The Empty Knight is silent a time more, "Will it be dangerous otherwise?"

[Nephrite]

"No." Moore says. "In fact, if things do go wrong for whatever reason, we have the strongest thing in Creation to solve it - hope."

A smile after that. "Past that, I'm certain that, should anything go wrong, we have the tools to handle it. There are those outside of here that can help, should it come to that."

[Anastasia]

Diplo check, then roll a d100 for miss chance.

Yes, it has a miss chance.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 136.

[13:43] <Nephrite> roll 1d100
[13:43] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 24 > [d100=24]

[Anastasia]

"Show me what you would do but on something besides me, I want a demonstration," Is the answer.

[Nephrite]

"That's a reasonable request, but I'm not sure how to accommodate it." Moore says with a turn to the others present. "Well, no, I think I know how we can do it, but you both know where it requires that we go. Well, one of two places."

[Anastasia]

Pick your poison. Which one is more tolerable to you?

[Nephrite]

"Let's go to the Between, I think it'd be more demonstrative." Moore says as he wills a portal there to open!

[Anastasia]

Where are you aiming for?

[Nephrite]

the place between Creation and Beyond - I'm not sure there's anywhere in particular to aim for there.

[Anastasia]

You appear on the beach once more, as you do, you see it flicker wildly, like out of pattern and vague.

[Nephrite]

Huh. Perhaps this lends more credence to the idea that the Empty Knight's ability is something of Beyond.

"I didn't expect you'd have such a profound impact on this place." Moore says. "But it looks like it's trying to compensate for your ability. This place is what I call The Between - it's between the Beyond and Creation. What we'll do here is demonstrate for you what we can do with beings from Beyond." He explains.

Assuming nothing terrible seems to be happening besides the flickering, Moore will proceed towards the waters.
