Hello, this is Carlisle. I mean, it's not Carlisle as in I'm actually answering you right now, so if you're trying to reply to me at the second, you should probably save your breath because I'm not really here. This is some kind of a recording of my voice, but this is my communicator. I'm going to assume these devices are as common here as they are in other places — not my world, but others, ones more technologically advanced than where I come from— so if you'd like to leave me a message, then you may do so here, or er... Right. Here is fine. So just leave yo— [beep]

Glyphcrafting is capable of such things, yes. I can look over them once these storms pass.

[And uh. Maybe after he's had some rest. He's hoping that will help him out, health-wise.]

[puzzlingly]

yes of course

「It's something to look forward to, helping around with something he be good at, and get to see Carlisle again, hopefully.」

is there anything you cannot do with glyphcrafting?

[tongueamok]

A skilled glyphcrafter would say no. Anything is possible with glyphs if one is clever and capable enough.

[puzzlingly]

「That is, probably not good news. What if he wanted to find a way to seal Caedra away? What if he did find a way? But he's sure he cannot do that without Carlisle's help though. He will not ask, not now.」

anything huh?
like leaving this place?

[tongueamok]

A planar rift.

[puzzlingly]

how much energy would that even need?

[tongueamok]

It is not merely the energy it would require, but the inscription, as well. It is well beyond either of us, and the consequences of failure too high to risk.

[puzzlingly]

i can only imagine
ever seen it work?

[tongueamok]

No. I have only heard stories of such endeavors, follies of the brash in an attempt to reach worlds other than their own.

[puzzlingly]

what happened to them?

[tongueamok]

One was drained of all that he was, having never managed to open the rift. Another crafted a glyph capable of an opening, only to find herself torn apart, one piece of her in one world, and the rest remaining behind. They say a rift can bring forth creatures not meant for our eyes, demons and aberrations seeking their own opportunities to escape the planes within which they are imprisoned. Those who meddle in powers beyond their grasp may find themselves banished to these hellscapes themselves, never to return.

figures

[tongueamok]

Figures?

[puzzlingly]

yeah idk why i was expecting a different answer

[tongueamok]

[IDK? Iddick? What is iddick? He parses out the rest, at least.]

I cannot imagine, myself. If I believed myself or anyone else capable of such a feat, I would not be here.

[puzzlingly]

「Carlisle, please, this is a serious conversation, leave your dicks out of this.」

true
one can dream right?

[tongueamok]

Only if they aspire to dream of a damnation worse than this place.

[Carlisle is never going to win Optimist Of the Year.]

[puzzlingly]

「Not up to his standards to win the Pessimistic of the Year either, keep trying, maybe next year.」

dont worry i can only think of one in here that can dream of that

[tongueamok]

The demon?

[puzzlingly]

duh

[tongueamok]

[DUH? What does that mean? Are they even speaking the same language?]

Is that a yes?

[puzzlingly]

yeah something like that

「Modern times are confusing, man.」

[tongueamok]

[Thankfully, his grunt of frustration doesn't translate into text.]

It is the nature of many demons to cause chaos; however, I doubt she is the only one who would risk such ventures.

[puzzlingly]

i know
it would be mostly out of desperation
i know i would if it would fix everything

[tongueamok]

Desperation does not excuse risking your life or the lives of others.
