Warnings: Nothing? Just a grumpy hedgehog yelling at people to get off his lawn boat.

Stop going into the rifts. They don't take you wherever they show.

[Sincerely, a hedgehog that's getting tired of people landing on his damn boat.]

Fair to say then that you've dealt with them in some fashion?

[wherethereislight]

On the recieving end, one too many times. [He went through one, just one. He isn't going to mention that.]

[azuresong]

I didn't know people could willingly go into the rifts! Have you seen where they end up on the other side?

[wherethereislight]

Somewhere in this world.

[azuresong]

Eheh! I thought as much! When I first came through I ended up upside down, so I can only imagine where others could end up!

[stealthpun]

I can't exactly fault people for attempting to use them, but I can see how that's disrupted your time. Portals appearing is nothing new for us.

Let us hope people take your warning in good faith.

How do you know? Have you tested all of the rifts?

[ Now, if that sounds sarcastic, it's actually not (entirely). Zelda's just curious how much scientific testing Shadow has done on this subject. ]

Maybe one will though.

Have you tried going through them?

[wherethereislight]

[...] Have you looked into them yourself, detective? [He is a detective, right?]

[wherethereislight]

[You sound too enthusiatic about this.] Onto someone's property.

[wherethereislight]

Walked through one. Two fell on my property. [Is that enough proof these rifts are not as they seem? And just before Zelda gets a word in.]

Three. [Is someone specifically targetting his boat or what??]

[wherethereislight]

Yes. Took me somewhere else in this world. Two other fools tried and landed on my property.

[azuresong]

[ To be fair, she always sounds enthusiastic. So sorry in advance- ]

... Huh!? [ Wait. Lyria is lining up the pieces. ] Did... someone come into your house through the rifts?

[wherethereislight]

Several. [It's not fun, Lyria. Also it's his boat, but he doesn't want even more people knowing about it.]

[stealthpun]

If you're asking me if I've stepped through one, the answer is yes.

Even if they would lead to nowhere, it was worth knowing its purpose.

[wherethereislight]

Trouble. Feels like there's intention behind them.

[He hasn't been here as long as most, but long enough to see rifts have never behaved in this way.]

[stealthpun]

You think they are there merely to trick us?

[wherethereislight]

[For what reason? Lure people elsewhere to hide something? It feels too spontaneous though, yet connected in one way.] Did yours show someplace familiar as well?

[stealthpun]

It showed me agency office.

It was too good to be true, but I tried anyway.

[wherethereislight]

[...Always showing a familiar place to whomever the rift appears before.] Trick or information. [But is there anyone here even capable of replicating a rift?]

Um...where do they go?

[octoblot]

You'd think people would stop trusting them by now given that these rifts have been around for a month now, but it seems thats not the case.

[... Azul says, with complete sincerity, despite being the damn culprit behind all this.]

[wherethereislight]

Somewhere they shouldn't. [Much descriptive. Such wow.]

[wherethereislight]

Idiocy cannot be helped for some. [Ouch] Why these rifts continue should be addressed.

[scooba]

Such as....?
