Conversation Space II.

As Thorne shared with the network, Travelers who vanish find themselves alone in a small room. But it doesn’t look quite as described last time. Paper lanterns hang in the corners, and a lemniscate of live, spicily scented blue roses traces a figure eight on the floor. A little marble plinth sits beside the looping roses, with a champagne flute balanced on it, pink, fizzy liquid quietly effervescing within. In place of the throne that was there before, each half of the loop holds a brown leather sphere - a yoga meditation-ball chair. They’re a little tricky to balance on.


The walls, floors, and ceiling are tiled, a prismatic fade from one color to another, each tile unique, just slightly different in hue than those around it, each colored line giving a sense that it belongs to a bigger pattern, but never revealing enough to allow anyone certainty about what that pattern might be. It is only a glimpse of a larger world… in this small, quiet space.

"... There's really no option for more than only one of you surviving this?" Stubbornly trying to tell herself that there has to be another way.

"Others may survive. Loss may not mean death. Only no longer competing. Only one can win."

"...Sorry, I guess I jumped into some conclusions there about the death thing. But that doesn't sound so bad then, if they survive and -- wait, what are we competing for? What are you aiming to win with your possible ...well, win?"

"Power, possibility, primacy. To be reflected throughout reality."
