You should be freezing it and making a posh oversized drink

I like to use them in my cereal. Am I weird for that?

Reality was reset, so the cube reappeared. It's not that the cube is back, but that you are in a new iteration of your reality. Cube is the least of your concerns.

As a proper technomancer, I just track my reality branches using Git. Getting swapped into a new reality branch happens more than I would like to admit.

Reality resets are just... people have no idea how common they are. Like, at least twice a year. But they're so seamless you have to go out of your way to detect them, like making a default cube.

Honestly, I just let it happen. I created a ward once that let me remember the old reality and the transition... worst thing that ever happened to me. I took that shit down immediately after. Ignorance is bliss in this case.

They usually happen between 3 and 5 AM so most folk won't notice. Last one I did was a month or so ago, at 4:44 am. It's worrying, frustrating that someone's done it, but not much to do about it once it's passed. There's no true restoration back to what once was.

About 3 years ago one occurred in the middle of the afternoon. Spooky, must have been an emergency or something big to do it during waking hours.

Cubes are very slow, just teleport them into a river somewhere

My apprentice went and fxcked a trans-dimensional jelly. I explicitly told him not to, but do these kids ever listen? Of course not.

Hopefully that’s not my kid— I mean my apprentice’s kid.

YES YOU SHOULD BE VERY WORRIED MY CUBE IS TRYING TO KI-

No, do not be afraid. Join the cube friend, let it wash over you and become one with you. Accept us- I mean, accept the cube friend. You will feel better, you will ALL feel better, if you simply accept the cube.

No need to worry, spacial and temporal bending is complitely normal behavior for a default cube. Consider bringing it to an artificer, hear default cubes make high quality orbs.

The artifacting on the view from your orb is the result of radiation, known to have anti magic properties and cause all sorts of nasty issues. I recommend you cover it with a thick blanket and cast transmute lead on it to remain safe. Then create a large cask consisting of the densest stone you can find and and line both the inside and outside with thick sheets of lead. Place the cube within and cap off the cask and bury the damn thing halfway to the underdark.

Yeah no, that's a tesseract, shits about to get real silly real quick

I’ll just have to wait for my technomagical cron job to sync up to my time/space anchored server in one of the more stable realities. Best way to keep track of stupid hyper cubes and local time-space wibblyness.

No, the gods forgot to patch it. It should disappear in a few days.

u/jjmcgil 1d ago

I had one of those show up at my tower a while back. I told an apprentice to get rid of it. I've not seen either again, so a fair trade.

u/thewhatinwhere 1d ago

You cant delete the cube, its like the picture of a coconut in tf2. If you try to delete it, all this wont boot up properly

If your can get an iron and ash harness around it you can turn your graveyard into a rave yard!

Cast unfreeze and it will get rid of that

Just move it out of bounds so nobody has to see it. It’s easier to just leave it in but keep it out of sight than to figure out why removing it breaks everything in the first place.

u/wizzerd695 Magic Basics Tutor 1d ago

It's an interdimensional placeholder. You need to absorb the '$#&+)/*#_7?!+' dimension assets to see it properly. Find them on the orb net.

Put it in your basement and have it clean up trash.
