[Fallatus]

This being, It is suspect. We sense something about it.
brethren we must be cautious. any cage that lasts cycles is a mighty construct not easily made nor destroyed.
And we sense something of it. something sickenly familliar. Of destruction and change. we must know more.
we must see it's history from its view, We must enter it's pattern to observe.
Read its mind, Its memory. Let no deception occur.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The pattern. one of the many names it is called by. Infinitely complex and Eternaly lasting it can best be described as a map of everything that has happened, Will happen, Is happening, Wont happen, Can't happen, Must happen and never happened.
A celestial mapwork of everything that is and isn't. Reading it has been described as following a string along its length, Interpreting a vast clockwork, Observing the stars and even like reading a book. The truth is it's all of these things at once and more, But the mortal mind is too frail to handle it in it's entirety, It appears abstract and metaphorical causing them to see the thing they most closely connect to and feel comforted by. Even gods and greater beings can handle at most observing their own multiverse.

@xxxxyyyy: A most magnificent rendition of ourselves, Thank you.

[Yourmaster]

I doubt we should realise this being, but I agree about learning more about it.

[The Froggy Ninja]

((Yes.))

((??))

((you guys want to pass that topaz proposal immediately for convenience?))

[Fallatus]

Watching it's mind directly? Of course not that is ridiculus and foolish, Even we will admit that
Something must have translated incorrectly between our minds and this shard. We mean to observe it's pattern.
Following a singular part of the pattern is something even a mortal can do safely, It is when attempting to observe more than your mind is capable of things get strange.
We simply must observe along it like you would travel a road, Begin at one end and stop at the other. Individual being have clear ends, It is the pattern itself which does not.
Of course, The pattern may have a different name in this world, If it has been discovered at all. But it exists, In every world and universe. After all it is responsible for anything at all existing.
We must search through this caged beings temporal spacial thread. observe but not interviene.
I do not think they understand.
Agreed for now, We will simply observe the caged one's mind like one would a painting or mirror then, Unless the pattern is consulted in its stead.
A shame. Using it is as simple as reaching into something very existence and beholding its beauty. once done, You simply know.

Topaz's proposal has passed!, Moonstone's proposal has passed!, New ministry laws have been added!

  "Basically, the terms of this little deal are, you take a piece of me on tour, and I give you a perk or two, and since there is no point in being dishonest, you also insure the end of this creation cycle in approximately 236 trillion centuries by accepting my deal, though to be fair, you not releasing a portion of my essence would delay that by a few thousand years at best.  glancing at the structure of his mind, you see one crucial thing, it is as solid as matter, most minds, even ones which would drive a being mad by gazing upon it have a sort of clear, liquid consistency, this one however, is as solid as the gold bricks that make up this creature's body.  And that besides, releasing a portion of my essence is actually a purpose of this cage, a pantheon of gods could not dent it, and only one piece of myself can exit, upon which it gains power over time from a variety of sources, without something to attach to however, it would remain in this pit with me until some poor fool fails to notice the giant monstrosity right behind the tiny gold trinket. In short, only my perspective and the barest morsel of power can exit this place, and you are the first thing to appear here in over a hundred years, I grow bored of eons in this cage, followed by destroying everything for a few sweet days, a 'world tour' of sorts might freshen my perspective of you little ants.  And in the sake of honesty, I will say that given the opportunity, I will make a request or two of my own. and take action to preserve myself if I deem it necessary."

The out of place couch he was sitting on blinks out of existence, his interest caught and A tiny shred of his respect earned at your audacious questioning. a few hundred portions of himself float behind him, falling to the ground in sequence.

"In short, any consequence of your actions will not take place for your own lifetime times several thousand. I sit here for eons, then destroy everything, then the prick creator fixes up a new world and dumps me in a deep pit, lather, rinse, repeat."

"I am not sure we should trust this guy, but I do trust you, shattered ones, your choice is yours to make.

You decide to absorb the order and chaos from an area right after this.

[Arcvasti]

We understand. Stones of the Shattered, I look upon this creature and see Ourselves reflected. Were WE not like him once, imprisoned by our powerlessness, in need of a host in which to live again in this world of flesh and death? Remember Our long and dreary wait in the forest, hoping, seeking for an escape? Imagine then, what a wait of MILLIONS of years must be. To go away without helping this being would be a betrayal, not only of him, but would be an act of hypocrisy to Our very identity.


I , Ebony, Ruin-Gem of the Shattered, propose to allow this creature's "diplomat" entrance to the ranks of the Shattered as one of Us.

[Beirus]

Your reasoning is flawed, Ebony. It is not powerless. By its own admittance, it has the power to destroy everything once it escapes. This being's escape is a certainty, whether we allow him to come with us or not. This being has a purpose. That purpose is destruction, and what good would it do to bring our God back if this being is just going to destroy anything we may have created?  Still, if that destruction will not come about for a long time, perhaps there might be some benefit to be gained from its proposal. Perhaps its power could help us to accomplish our goals.

Tentative +1 to accepting the thing, since we probably won't be around for the eventual destructive consequences.

[Kilojoule Proton]

This prisoner's rampage of destruction is inevitable, and we will likely not live to see the final days of this world. Its destruction of the world may even be a critical requirement for continued existence. However, we may be able to find ways of extending our shared lifespan by keeping and studying a fragment of the prisoner. I tentatively vote in favor of accepting a fragment of the prisoner/freeing it but wish we could have found out whether this being aligns more closely to order or chaos before this revelation. I myself predict that it cares little for either and aligns almost completely with destruction, which it probably considers orthogonal to the order-chaos axis.

[The Froggy Ninja]

May as well. Plus according to this whatsit having it escape now would shake things up a bit.

[Fallatus]

Hmm. On one limb, this may have consequences we are not ready to deal with. On the other however this may prove to be amusing.
Neither destruction nor ends are evil or even remotely bad, Merely another part of existence. We vote for this amusement.
Hahahaha. Yes! Show us what amusement our action will make us gain.
We hope this is not a regretfull action. We would dislike for this choice to cause death and suffering.
Of course, Death is the least amusing of all. Static and unchanging it brings nothing new by itself only by its repercussions.
We would like to question how this being escapes at the end of its imprisonment however, If this cage is as secure as it claims.

[XXXXYYYY]

I am unsure. On one hand, destruction. On the other, possibility. I will reconsider my vote with a bit more information, but, for now, this has a vote from me.

((Yes.))

((??))

((you guys want to pass that topaz proposal immediately for convenience?))

((Ah, k))

[Shadestyle]

The vote passes with over 50 percent, and Longlive is made a diplomat, attaching himself to the shattered by a gold string. A potential worshiper comes sniffing around your monument.

  "Like I said before, the trinket of myself now attached to you will absorb energies in the air for Eons to come, until it returns to me at the end of days to shatter my prison."
He says as a line shaped piece slides through a tiny hole in the cage. Only one piece can do the job, a line piece.  After this exchange, you head out of the pit and begin to absorb order and chaos at the same time, the air becomes stagnant and the area directly around you becomes gray, Motes of dust begin to come together, forming a shape, all the while you hear a whine and tiny flecks of static appear for split seconds.
