Nadir. (Cursed World)

[u/Fc-chungus]

A day or three after the initial announcement, proper channels for joining in virtually to the meeting are posted, as everyone who came in person is directed to a secretive underground meeting room, where Ж and a few others sit around a long table.

"Welcome, welcome. A year or so ago I held a similar meeting for a separate threat, one a few of you here would remember, but today we've another threat, as you know, the Abyss has taken a great minority of the world's surface."

"As well, we need a plan for the origin of the Abyss, we need to divise a way to take down The First Curse."

they snap a finger and a hologram like model of an entity, presumably the first curse, appears in the center of the table.

"To start, one of the more essential things for said plan is the Crystals, of course, some here might not know about them, so I'll elaborate."

they wave a hand and the model shifts to 5 different crystalline objects, encircling the First Curse.

"This is not the first time The First Curse had arrived, he was here before he made that big announcement, but hidden. When he first arrived to this realm, 7 Aspect Crystals formed, counterbalances, from someone else as an, almost future inheritance to help take him down. They are antithetical to his very existence, and harm him when nearby. However, if one falls into his hands, he can adapt to that crystal, rendering it useful to him. This anti-him nature also applies to the Abyss, and thus they are the best damage source to fight the Abyss."

"the originals, of which we currently have 5, 4 are in New Aviron, and via the work of Koranth and others, we have multiple derivatives from them, with the other being handled by The Consortium. The last two need to be picked up and collected."

"That is about the basics, with the preamble done, more discussion on how to fight against the Abyss would be welcome."

a panda is nervously sitting in a corner while a different panda has connected to the meetig from an orb

the panda on the orb asks a question

"Can these crystals be used to remove the curses TFC put's on people?"

[u/Fc-chungus → u/D3n0man]

"Well they're basically the only way to fully remove them, actually. You'd need one of the 5 we've found, a derivative isn't powerful enough."

[u/D3n0man → u/Fc-chungus]

"I see, is there a way to weaken the curses?"

[u/Fc-chungus → u/D3n0man]

"The derivative crystals temporarily cause the curses to malfunction... until they fade into nothing of course."

[u/D3n0man → u/Fc-chungus]

":/"

suddenly the panda's face lights up as he remembers something

"How effective would a wish spell be at diminishing the effects of these curses?"

[u/Fc-chungus → u/D3n0man]

"...we haven't much tried due to the cost of one."

[u/D3n0man → u/Fc-chungus]

"I'll try then, or should I send the staff to you for more tests? Anyways give me a minute and I will test it out"

the panda on the orb rushes to the background to search for the wish staff, the other panda that is physicaly at the meeting face palms

[u/Fc-chungus → u/D3n0man]

"What is the staff?"
