☽ III: video

[inabluemoon]

[The video turns on to show a view of the apartments of Level 2 from what seems to be a fairly high vantage point looking down, as if the device is on a roof. While the user isn't visible on camera those familiar with Vanitas will probably recognize the doctor's voice.]

So many of you are fine with accepting that there's no way out of this place. Are you that easily distracted and complacent about being used by the Prismals? Do you just not have anything to go back to? Or maybe you just don't have something that this damned place is keeping you from doing...

[He laughs bitterly before stopping just as abruptly, voice dipping to almost a whisper.]

... Tch. Why am I wasting my breath?

[The video abruptly ends.]

[Okay now you've got his interest.]

What's a "boundary device"?

[fractaljesus]

A boundary device is self-descriptive; it is a device is used to connect boundaries. Specifically, the boundary between the space inside this universe and that which exists outside of it. I used one such unit to visit another world before appearing in this one, and I am currently in the process of manifesting it here as well.

[inabluemoon]

Have you confirmed that you're actually able to alter this place?

[There's a pause, as if he's gauging whether or not to continue.]

... I have something that should allow me to interact with the world formula, but it doesn't seem to function the same in the times I've attempted to test it on things here. So you know.

[fractaljesus]

Alter? No, altering this world's information is unnecessary to this process.. All that is required to bring Kado to this world is to solve for the unknown variables in the formula. Once these become known, it will be a simple matter to manifest it.

[inabluemoon]

So as long as it can be brought to our point in this universe it can then allow access to another?

[He thinks he understands the concept. It sounds a bit like the Borders, but somehow portable and- at least from the implications- safe for most.]

[fractaljesus]

[zaShunina nods.] That is correct.

[Buuuut...]

However, with the information currently available, it is likely that the time required to complete this process will exceed the median lifespan of all present entities. Therefor, while it will work, it is not ideal.

[inabluemoon]

...

[... Welp.]

You really should lead with that sort of detail, you know?!

[fractaljesus]

I did say it was not the most efficient method.

[inabluemoon]

"Not the most efficient" is still pretty vague!
