“I knew it!” he would exclaim afterward as he pinched the bridge of his nose. While he couldn’t look directly into the inside of the space-time distortion, the uneasy, prickly feeling that it was leering at them like an evil eye would remain.

“Urgh…” he would add before the space-time distortion would disappear, quick as it had come.

• TOTAL OF ROLLS MADE BY ALL WRITERS REACHES 666. - A rift to the DISTORTION WORLD opens briefly, like an opening eye. Peering into it fills your characters with dread. You can not enter this rift, but one may theorize the DISTORTION WORLD is attempting to map out this new area in order to create an antimaterial counterpart for the world.

Steelix came to a grinding halt, almost sending Elinor flying in the process when the sudden distortion appeared in front of them.

Fantastic, what now? She cursed within the confines of her thoughts as she peered into the swirling mass. She regretted doing that as a sense of dread quickly reached out to her, grabbed her, held her tight.

“Let’s head back and report that.” Elinor called out to Lars, while at the same time readying her Steelix for a turn-around.
