The inside of the house looked exactly the same as normal. Aside from a black stain on the wall, there was no way to even tell that Wurg had tried going through it. She held a hand over her nose, mostly to stop a small stream of nanites from getting everywhere.

Empathy materializes in the room, faceless and featureless as always.
Hmm.
Being intangible, he sticks his head through the wall- or tries to, anyway.

"Uh...can you feel out there, or do you actually need to go out there to see?"

"I can see. My sight originates from the hole in my face."
Empathy sticks his head out again and looks around.

Upon sticking his head out of the wall, Empathy was greeted with the sight of...water. A huge expanse of it, stretching in nearly every direction. The fact the house was somehow floating on top of it was astounding in and of itself. The exterior of the house looked far different than usual, too. Thinner than before, and now glowing a far brighter orange than what it was projecting in the square.

"So? Is there anything out there?"

Empathy retreats and stays silent for a bit.
"...Yeah... We're in the middle of an ocean."

"No, I didn't... Do you have a compass?"

(09-25-2015, 08:26 PM)Ehksidian Wrote: "No, I don't, and I haven't been able to get one, either...the lab portal disappeared earlier today, and I haven't been able to get it back up and running. I'm surprised no one heard it close..." She lowered her hand from her face, since the "blood" had stopped flowing. "I do have some magnets around, and some random metal. Might be able to build a small compass with that."

"Hmm... Actually, hold on." Empathy looks out again, then quickly retreats. "Okay, we should probably head north. If we're still in our home dimension, the beach will most likely be in that direction. I'm not sure if we even are home, though..."

"Got the magnet, cup, cork, and metal to stick in the cork." She stuck the sharp bit of metal into the cork, both ends of the metal exposed, and rubbed the magnet onto it. She walked into the kitchen and filled the cup up with water, and placed the cork-and-metal on top of it.

"There...that should help."

"Well, if we had some way to find the position of Umbra or one of the others, we could figure it out easily. I can't sense the position of Umbra or my brothers, though... As for getting back, I can handle it. I won't try unless I know we're in the right place, though."

"Hm. Alright. I can't think of a way to find them, other than you going directly to them and finding them..."

"Again, we're not sure if we're in the same dimension... Wait, do you have a radio or anything similar? If you do, we might be able to see if we can communicate with them. Just nothing that can pierce dimensional barriers. Some sort of radio frequency you can tune in to would help as well."

"Ah. Now we just need to figure out where we are relative to the 'town'... Fairly sure we only need to go North, though."

"Aye, and it's straight out where the door should be as well. Er, north that is."

"All right, then... You have anything in here that's fragile? I don't want to accidentally break something."

Empathy floats through the roof. Shortly afterward, the house can be felt... Moving? How is that possible?
