[ Philip arrives. He'd rather not have. Moreso, he didn't think weird alternative dimensions could get any less straightforward, and yet... ]

Show of hands if you remember Wonderland¹.

¹ The one where you get endless free drinks within immediate walking distance and all the nightmares of your world come to life to haunt you, while your own reflection laughs at you from a pocket dimension nearby.

(So, not the one from the books.)

PS.: About those endless free drinks. Do you have that feature here? If yes, where? If no, where's the latest group of dedicated heroes looking to find a way out of this place immediately if not sooner, because I'd like to join up.

[There's like, at least some singing in his Wonderland, too. But it was mostly gameshow bullshit and getting crushed by machinery.]

naaaaaah wasnt that impressive
took like four, five hours, tops
mostly just a torture dungeon run by two liches
tried to steal my friends soul for a while
that was a bit of a mess
outfits were totally baller though

Outfits were a gamble. Would be my seventh year now. Not much in the way of dungeons to speak of. Unless, again, you want to be really metaphorical.

What's a liche?

and now youre in another one?

people who bind their souls to pure magic
usually go absolutely nuts
essentially super powerful emotional vampires

Aliens. It was definitely aliens. Though I'm not sure I want them to have the credit for this. Still beats [ --death, shouldn't that come easy at this point? ] home. Nothing like a torture dimension or two to spice up your everyday life, right?

So, liches. Like leeches then? As in, like the gods here are playing people for their emotions, apparently?

oh that sucks
sorry my dude dont have any alien hookups
job-related or otherwise
but uh yeah if thats your thing go for it

and yeah thats the long and short of it
they get power from their assigned emotions
theres uh
idk seven of them maybe i dont keep track
holding out for the final secret god, disappointment, whom i will fuel singlehandedly
kind of amazing they dont have the power load for that one yet
