The Quest
Riot has been planning for a while to travel to the metaplanes and seek out the knowledge she needs to enhance her ally spirit, Hotaru. With a little bullying and a little asking around town, Riot was able to convince her boyfriend/sparring buddy Captain Boomerang to assist and find him some Shade respectively.
Everything started with Captain Boomerang showing up at Riot's place. He was given the dose of Shade and promptly disliked the feel of Riot's lodge, due to background counts that were not aligned with his tradition. After some banter back and forth, Riot laid down on her floor-mattress, and projected. She then proceeded to follow Captain Boomerang back to his place, so the big stupid crybaby could lay down in his own lodge to project. After Boomer's astral form emerged from his lodge, Riot and Boomer followed Hotaru, who would show them the path.
Hotaru led the pair towards the metaplanes. They were surprised to realize that the closer they got to Hotaru's home metaplane, the more... sense it made listening to him. But as they crossed and encountered the Dweller on the Threshold, they were forcibly separated from Hotaru. The dweller knew what Riot was after, and decided to test her for it. Some words were exchanged, and Boomer and Riot found themselves standing before a path. Riot tried to use her power to summon Hotaru, but the bubble metaplane they were inside forbid this, and Riot realized she might cause Hotaru harm if she kept trying. The pair quickly recognized the path as one of Hotaru's favorite metaphors, and decided the best thing to do is follow the path towards its destination.
They walked for what seemed like hours, and found far over the edge of the cliff was a fragment of a stone tablet floating in the air. Riot checked her connection to her magic to see that *that* still worked, and then asked Boomer to throw her over the edge of the cliff so she could grab the tablet and magic herself back to the edge. This was, interestingly, not the first time the pair had done something similar, so Boomer was very familiar with the best methods for throwing Riot somewhere.
