So I have good news and I have bad...

Actually, no, that's a lie. I don't have any bad news.

Danzo's seal had been designed to seal everything within a few meters of him upon his death.

Now, that was all well and good, but when it tries to do that after a hole in reality was torn open?

Well, there are problems.

Several meters of reality were pulled in, space and time stretching and contracting unnaturally as the seal attempted to force that part of existence into a self-contained bubble, which it could then safely push out, creating what's effectively a pocket dimension. It was the same, if more advanced, method that Storage Scrolls used.

To a certain extent, it actually sort of worked.

Unfortunately, it was never designed to deal with holes in existence.

One several meter bubble of reality was cordoned off. Half a second later, as the Seal pushed the bubble out of this universe, the Seal ran into the hole in reality, and, unable to deal with it, promptly shattered into infinitesimal pieces.

Leaving, unfortunately, a several meter bubble of reality halfway out of existence.

For future consideration, this is not a good thing when you're inside of it.

With nothing to tie the bubble to this universe, and already halfway outside of it, what I can only describe as Bad Things happened.

There was a moment, a single, infinitely short moment where I realised just what was about to happen, before the bubble reality collided with the hole in existence.

The hole tore wider, large enough to cause the Dimensional Barriers of this World to begin break down, forcing wide a single opening into The Lanes Between.

Oh, that's not good.

An instant later, the bubble was ejected through the tear in reality.

Light. Darkness.

Nothingness. Twilight.

Balance.

Roads and Lanes, Connections and Pathways, Lines and Chains.

Worlds drawn together, Worlds forced apart. Shattered and Separated parts of the Greater Whole.

Shattered and Separated facets of The World, the Original, the Beginning.

Barriers. Barriers of Light, Barriers of Darkness. Barriers of Nothingness.

Infinite. Finite. Both, yet Neither.

Either way, countless.

The Dimensional Barriers cracked, and shattered outwards. The bubble reality, and myself along with it, were forced out, thrown away from the World into The Lanes Between.

Behind me, the Dimensional Barriers pulled together, the small hole that the bubble reality had made in its passing closing, knitting together to close the hole in the barrier.

The last thing I saw before the Dimensional Barriers repaired completely was a small amount of Darkness flow into the World.

That's not good.

The Dimensional Barriers slammed shut; the hole gone like it was never there in the first place.

Leaving me stuck outside of the World, on a tiny fragment zooming off into The Lanes Between, shattered fragments of the Dimensional Barrier gliding along with it, manifesting as tiny motes of light.

Well.

Alone.

It's a good thing I don't need to eat. Or drink.

I looked down, staring at the stone floors of what had once been Danzo's inner sanctum. I could already feel the Darkness of The Lanes Between flowing into and through this tiny fragment of a world, permeating the air and ground of my... temporary home, I suppose.

So.

I sat down. Then, I laid back.

Now what?

Thoughts?

Also, would somebody be so kind as to roll a d20 for me?
