 (You didn't have to cut me off plays from Pop) If you haven't noticed, our powers go haywire here, look" Pop says, holding his palm out to summon something, a second later an apple that looks like chunks of it are missing, and after a bit, the apple dissolves. "Now I don't what that or something similar to happen to me or you." Pop says "Should we turn back?" he asks. "Mmm, what if the exits on the other side? Could be dangerous as well..." Jester says thoughtfully, rubbing his chin. "It could, and it seems that the ledge below us is accessible, as well as everything on this level if we climb. But the one on the far side of the valley is about 20 feet away. It's possible to make it, but extremely risky. Should we do it?" Pop asks, continuing to look at the edge

 "Nothing to lose, other than our lives." he muses. "Without giving a bit of risk, we'll never get a reward, ey?" Jester said while practicing balancing on one foot. "Well screw it." Pop says taking a running start and jumping over the chasm, barely making it "OW" Pop shouted at the end. Jester would stretch before beginning his balancing act to the other side, "ARE YOU FREAKING BALANCING ON THE MOLECULES IN THE AIR" Pop demands loudly as Jester reaches the other side out of breath, "Huh, it seems you can use your powers, but it drains you much faster than normal here" Pop says, examining Jester up and down. Pop looks back at the yellow hallway and sees something shadowy and massive. They both hear the screaming sound from earlier, Pop suddenly says, with no emotion, "Don't let it touch you" Jester looks at Pop

 "What?" he asks, "What, what?" Pop questions, wondering what Jester was talking about. "It's obviously my subconscious attacking us for all I've done!" Jester says frantically. "What? No, let's just go see what that was." Pop says, moving toward the being. Jester gasped, "I literally just warned you not to, if you die, don't blame me!" Jester says, "What? All you said was something about your subconscious." Pop says, questioning Jester. "The dark shadowy being seems to come closer." Jester thought for a moment, "maybe my subconscious doesn't want to kill us?" Jester approached the being. The showy figure came out running and seemed to be a black stick-figure-looking monster. It screamed at the two, and they had nowhere to go. "AH FUCK!" Pop says upon seeing the creature. Pop looks back at the cliff and realizes that they could go down a level, pop takes a hold of the ground and flips to the next level down, "Hurry up!" He says with a grunt, continuing to go down the levels, praying the monster couldn't follow them. Jester would do s trust fall backward into the hole. Pop looks up. "What the frick-" He started before being hit by Jester and falling back into the cavern, falling and falling for a few yards "This better not kill me," Pop thinks while falling with jester before grabbing onto him and closing his eyes, Suddenly both of them hit the side of a wall at about 30 mph. "AH!" Pop screams, crashing down onto the floor. 

After a bit he barely stands up, and looks around, they seem to be somewhere completely different, and there was no fire from Jester to indicate teleportation, "Weird, I suddenly wanted to get (winces and grabs his shoulder) -out of there..." Pop says "We weren't falling for long, why did we have such a hard impact?" Pop looks more closely at their surroundings, far away on the opposite side of where they hit the wall is what seemed to be the long fall and square hallways. "We didn't teleport... it's like we were pushed a long way out of there, I may have expended my powers but I didn't expect that to happen..." Pop thought sitting down and pulling off some of his coat to see the damage to his arm, blood with black streams in it was leaking out "You uh- don't happen to have anything that could heal me, could you?" Pop asks Jester, seeing that he looked ruffed up yet completely undamaged. "Hrmmm, I think I have something," Jester would walk up to Pop and pat his head, "better?" Pop stands up wobbly, "A-a little..." he says, starting to walk around again. "Are we still in the... same dimension... universe whatever?" Jester asks, "It would seem so..." Pop says, hearing another sharp growl growing louder. 

"Oh for the love of Christ!" Pop complains, starting to get annoyed at this monster thing. Pop sat down, and closed his eyes for a sec. "Let's see if I can locate the point..." Pop concentrates, "Okay, I think we need to leave this place, we need to find a point where we can no-clip to the world's other reality, once there we can change planes." Pop explains, "To no-clip... like in a video game, yea. We need to find other things that have already no-clipped! So we need an area with things from the normal world" Pop says, getting up and walking down the hall, "So we need to get moving, avoid that thing, and find objects, got it?" Pop asks Jester, starting to run down another hallway. "Find actual objects, got it!" Jester said while running, realizing pop is behind him, slowing down, realizing pop is in front of him, and repeating. "Can you not tell how fast to go?" Pop asks, seeing a door randomly in the middle of a room, "Here we go."
