"IT HAPPENS ON EACH JOURNEY TO ANOTHER WORLD! THE BOY'S MIND IS TOO FRAGILE TO SURVIVE UNDAMAGED! HIS MEMORY AND HIS STRENGTH IS DRAINED EACH TIME, FORCING US TO REMAIN DORMANT UNTIL HIS MAGICK BECOMES POWERFUL ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN OUR POWER! THE LAST TIME THE BOY TOOK TOO LONG TO REGAIN HIS STRENGTH AND HE ENDED UP BEING INJURED BECAUSE OF OUR FORCED ABSENCE!"

Jace blinks. "Um, how many times has this cycle happened, exactly? And how exactly is he supposed to be regaining his magick, since clearly I know nothing about how it works?"
Jace, stop snarking, it isn't helping.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

"COUNTLESS! ONE OF THE BLESSINGS WE GRANT THE BOY IS ETERNAL YOUTH! ONLY THROUGH PRACTICE AND USE OF HIS MAGICK CAN HE STRENGTHEN HIS RESERVES AGAIN!" Dante's body slumps over, barely able to take any more. "THE BOY HAS ALREADY EXHAUSTED HIMSELF! I CAN MAINTAIN MY PRESENCE NO LONGER!" Dante gets thrown on his back, barely conscious. The presence is gone.
Jace's perceptions of Dante would be that of someone who has run out of spell slots or MP, to use an alternate world equivalent. He'll likely get it back after a rest though.

Jace will try to pick Dante up off the floor and lay him down on the couch. Zebes sits on top of it, monitoring him, while Jace dispels the protective field and gets on his hands and knees to start magic-scrubbing the burn marks off the floor.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

"Ugh... what happened?" The headaches are back, along with exhaustion and nausea. Dante looks around, disoriented.

Don't get up, you seem pretty messed up
"Well, remember when I said you should try channeling the non-homicidal entities? Yeah, you didn't. And now I have to get these scorch marks out of my floor. he actually doesn't sound very annoyed, more matter-of-fact.
But at the very least I got plenty of information out of your resident rage-demon. Oh, your throat might be a bit sore. He liked to yell. Are you hungry again? I get that sometimes with heavy magic."Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

"Hungry?" Dante checks. He feels more nauseous than anything. "Not really..."

"Oh. Alright. In that case, just sit tight; you'll feel better with some rest. Tell me if you need anything."
he continues with his cleaning, and is already half done.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

Dante patiently waits for Jace to finish cleaning. He doesn't feel like moving much right now anyway in his current condition. Sure, he's curious as to the results of the 'experiment,' but he's also kind of scared of them as well.

It'll take Jacen about ten minutes to finish his repairs, after which he goes to the fridge, grabs a soda, and plops himself down in his armchair.
"So, I'm guessing you want to know what the demon told me?"Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

"I don't know. Do I?" Obviously he does, but the entire situation has Dante more than a little apprehensive.

Jace's expression is a bit pained. "Well, most important is that you're going to have to do this every so often, because if you don't get yourself used to exercising your power it could hurt you. The rest I won't tell you unless you want me to. It's not exactly upbeat."Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

Brace for impact, kid.
"From what I gathered, at some point your past self made a contract with a number of entities, offering a bond with your soul in exchange for power and life. But while you don't age, it wipes your memory every time your power gets screwy and you world-hop. Which is also why you have to get yourself prepared again, because with the link you've made with them it becomes dangerous to shut them out for long periods of time. Or the demon lied, which is entirely possible, but his ego almost seemed too large to keep from bragging about how I was wrong without taking the time to lie."Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

Re: [Nexus] Home 14: Oddly Squishy
Hildur's Cave
The sun is starting to set once Hildur and Thyrza arrive here. The mouth of the cave is in a cliff side, which is at the base of an unremarkable mountain, surrounded by lightly dense forest. The cave itself is more than wide enough to enter.
Hildur has her jacket back on by now, and is walking to the cave's entrance with her friend in tow.

Hildur's Cave
"I thought so when I found it," Hildur says. She leads Thyrza into the cave. The front of it has been made into a makeshift living room, with some small lights adorning the area, a couple of chairs, a table, and a somehow-powered fridge against the right wall. The cave also branches off in three directions.

Hildur's Cave
"The one on the left goes to a dead end, so it's where I keep my hoard," Hildur begins. "Middle one's the spring, and I haven't really been down the right one much, but it goes pretty far."

"Same place as the spring. That way I don't have to walk much to take a morning bath," Hildur says.

"Oh, uh, wherever you want, but don't go down the right tunnel until we've made sure it's safe, okay?" Hildur asks.

Re: [Nexus] Home 14: Oddly Squishy
Aw, darn, there goes my plan to pack my cheeks full of goblets and trophies and stuff... I thought dragons would, like, sleep on their hoards and stuff, so if you don't maybe I will. Gold is comfy, right? She grins back, unzipping an inside pocket and pulling out some things too big to fit in it normally---namely, a bedroll.

"Well, mine's not very big just yet. But I sometimes take naps on it, so I just might sneak in one night." Hildur's got a really dumb grin on her face when she says that. She also looks impressed at Thyrza pulling a bedroll from nowhere.
