Well, this might be the most reckless thing I've ever done. Or, second most reckless?
I trapped her. The Vile. I figured she would go to La Belle Pleureuse first so I beat her to the punch. I released the first Amber Room and painted a new one. On the bright side it's no longer freezing me from the inside as I'm not having to deal with trying to contain the Vile's Ultramarine flames. On the less bright side, my Amber Room will only hold as long as I'm in it. So, if I'm going to be trapped in here with her, I may as well do some digging.
I'm going to try to find out what the Vile's goals are.
Of course, she can't really "talk" in my Amber Room, but she won't need to. It's a little tricky but I can tap into the Ultramarine to sort of "see" her memories. It's the flame that eats away at time, after all. Better still, CaDence can help me.
See, CaDence has a rather unique skill, a vector to the past, as it was. So long as she has someone who has a link to the past, it should work. I don't think it'll hurt either, it'll just feel like... nothing, hopefully. Now, to be fair... I'm not actually sure of the "limit" of CaDence's power. From what she's told me, she was able to go back to Utopia with it once before. But... I want to go a little further back. I want to go to Entropy.
But first I need to find the right word... Hm. Cresset. Flame. Xanthar. Mareva. Ithax. Vile. Wicked. Perverse—
