You've already decided that you'd do so if Alice decides to leave the house. Unless you're planning on chucking Hermes down the hatch, you don't see how his light can help from this distance.

Lexii: I think the both of you will be able to make up and be stronger for it!

Alice: You think so...?
Lexii: Sure!
Lexii: Derrick is a sweetheart, he won't hold a grudge against you.
Lexii: Now, although I don't know the nature of your "situation"....
Lexii: I do know that love will prevail! So don't sweat it.
Alice: Thanks, Lex.
Lexii: It's my pleasure!
Alice: Is Derrick doing better, do you think?
Lexii: I have no idea about him, sorry...
Lexii: He was very sparse with words so I couldn't piece together what was going on inside that head of his.

DT: You could have just asked... This hatch is special. It drops you off wherever you want to go when you manipulate an image onto it.
DT: If you don't do this... It leads nowhere. AKA the VOID.

Alice: What are the limits of this? Can I go anywhere as long as I know what it looks like?
DT: Uhh, no.
DT: You imagine an image on the door, and it will lead to a door corresponding to that image.
DT: If you imagine an image... Say A. There needs to be a following "A" Door.
DT: If you walk through an "A" hatch without an "A" Door on the other end... Well...
DT: You'll just end up somewhere in the void. ewe"
Alice: Ohh...
DT: So make doubly sure you know exactly where you're going and that the other side has the image you are imagining up.
Alice: I'm going to try something easy then.

You imagine Lucas' symbol. A pair of black wings, it appears a bit translucent on the wall.

Lexii: I see something!
DT: Not bad, Master.
DT: Your images will appear almost see through to denote that the doorway has temporarily changed.
DT: If you get the hang of this, maybe the hatch isn't the only doorway you can affect. owo
Alice: Practice, and practice some more. Got it.
DT: I should also remind you this hatch is one-way only. Wherever you go you cannot return the same way.
Alice: .....
DT: What are you thinking, Master?
1. Enter hatch
2. Change image, and enter
3. Don't enter

Lexii: DT... How much can you tell us about the "Void"?
DT: What? That cookie didn't fill you in?
DT: Sheesh, well to be fair I didn't fill in Master, so let's start from the top.
![[Image: m4zYc90.png]](https://i.imgur.com/m4zYc90.png)
Show ChatlogShow
DT: The full title of this environment is the "Unknown Void". It has been called a few things in the past. The space, the inbetween, the dark cracks, etc. Essentially its what exists beyond and outside of all the many realms out there.
DT: It's dark. Very dark. You won't be able to see any sort of landmark or item of interest. So light sources are a must.
DT: There are many dangers, but I'll touch on the most important. Firstly, if you lose sight of your realm or any doorway you used to enter, it's gone.
Lexii: G-gone??
DT: Yep... You need an anchor of some kind or a signal to find your way back again.
DT: Second, If you die in the void... You'll be reborn over and over endlessly.
Alice: What does that mean?
DT: Your soul will have no dreamer to properly claim it and it would be useless to the nightmares in there, so... You'll take shape once more, only nothing how you remember.
DT: With each painful death from those creatures you become more twisted in rebirth, until you become an abomination. A class of powerful creatures that can destroy entire realms. owo"
Lexii: W-whoa, what??
DT: These are the more fearful and inhuman creatures you'll ever come across. Run away if you see one out in the void, and kill on sight if you see one in one of the realms.
DT: If you don't... You'll regret it as they can destroy realms as mentioned previously.
Alice: How do you know all this?
DT: Realm attendants are choked full of knowledge about these things. It's for your own benefit.
DT: The third important danger is if you venture physically into the void, your body becomes immediately available.
DT: This is because it's assumed you won't be returning. >w>
DT: If you know what you're doing, make sure your body is in a safe place, or get ready for an endless fight for your friends defending it.
Alice: Hmm...

Alice: Are there a lot of "creatures" in the void?
DT: Yes. Plenty. More than you want to think. More than you could possibly think.
Lexii: If there are so many, how come they don't wander into our realms by accident?
DT: Well you have me to thank for that!
DT: Realm Attendants have to take care of the realm. It's our responsibility to keep it "hidden" from those guys and to keep you all safe and sound. This is something we can do passively. As long as we're in our own realms that is.
Lexii: W-wait, wait... I took Kalem to Lomam. Does that mean...?
DT: No, no... They have to be gone for a very long time for this effect to wear off, I don't think you can accidentally manage it. Not even intentionally, actually. ^w^
Lexii: Oh, phew...
Alice: Is there a way to attract one of those nightmare guys to our realms?
DT: W-why are you asking that, Master?
Alice: Just curious.
DT: .... I'll trust you with this information. But remember, curiosity killed the cat.
Alice: Oh, ha-ha.
DT: There is an object hidden in the realm... Somewhere... Every realm has one.
DT: If you use a realm key on it, it will summon a beacon of light and sound. It's the realm's self destruct sequence.
Lexii: SELF DESTRUCT??
DT: Yes... The Nightmares from the void will be able to see and hear the location of the realm and will come running.
DT: Only up to 3 will be allowed the pierce the veil into the realm however, then the sequence will end. After 3 enter, the object will be destroyed. If you end the sequence early, you can usher in one nightmare at a time. I'll be able to tell when one enters so you may operate by my command.
DT: If 3 nightmares exist in the realm at the same time... It's doomed.
Lexii: What reason could anyone possibly have to do something like that??
DT: Well, It's a failsafe. There are worse things than nightmares you know.
Lexii: What can possibly be worse??
DT: Maybe down the road we can talk more about that, it is a lot to take in after all.
Alice: Can we kill the nightmare creatures to stop the self destruction?
DT: Yes. That is the only way.
DT: But good luck, if that ever becomes a reality.
