Lonely is walking around the house, upside down on the ceiling, as per usual. They’re working on some sort of construct- like a tiny box with lizard legs.

'Some call me soulless. Although I do have one, it is worth nothing. The only reason I haven't put it in this blade is because I need a soul to survive, and either way it can only collect them by killing. If I had a soul worth more, I likely would have had felt emotion and not gone down the path I currently tread. Hence why I disapprove of feeling."

'Hello there'

Tenax is examining an odd Menger sponge-like structure.

'What's that you have there, if I may ask?'

"This is an Oisidian infinite coral. Due to its infinite surface area as it constantly divides, it is made of an infinite number of individual fossilized polyps. It only functions as such if animated by magic, however."

'That sounds like it could break a world or 2'

'That sounds like it could break a world or 2'

"That's the thing. It maintains the same size and density, though its mass decreases to an infinitesimal degree. It really only serves as a fun decoration and as a small-yet-infinitely-massive echo chamber of ancient, awakened minds. That is, if you care to awaken the living stone. Be very careful if you plan to awaken the living stone." He warns.

'Can it feel pain?'

'Can it feel pain?'

"It feels all and knows all. Therefore it can feel nothing but apathy. So for all intents and purposes... no." Tenax examines it. "It's hard not to be in wonder of the madness spawned by the furthest parts of the multiverse."

'Indeed'

'Indeed'

"A shame the world that once bore their living counterparts died. Oisidia infringed on the Far Realm, and this led to both beauty and horror. Until the true masters of the Unknowable Place decided to show their power to the gods that attempted to hook and pull back the ever-sinking world. They consumed Oisidia almost entirely, save that which drifted into the Ethereal Plane. It is lost now. And there used to be great reefs of this species alone..." Tenax looks mournful for a moment.

'How sad. Is there no way to bring it back?'

'How sad. Is there no way to bring it back?'

"Nope." Tenax responds simply.

'i am sorry for your loss'

'i am sorry for your loss'

"Loss? It's not my world. It's just something that happened."

'You seem to have sympathy for them though'

Quote from 10_30inDutch >>

'You seem to have sympathy for them though'

"Oh, the people were doomed from the start. That's no real loss. But it's a repeated pattern. Every world tends toward its own destruction."

'Very true'

Quote from 10_30inDutch >>

'Very true'

"But who knows? Certainly not I. Perhaps even the craven reigar are correct, and beauty lies in destruction." He ponders.
