Okay, here goes. I hope no one realizes that I have never done this before, he thinks to himself, quite nervously."Van, Ilshana, Janelle, would you all please link hands with me and each other?" he asks in less a question and more a command. When the three have assembled around him, forming a small circle, Latham closes his eyes and empties his mind.Blackness permeates his senses; an empty void in a busy mind. Flashes of color sprout in his poriferal, dizzily and hazy. They blow past him, stretches of miles passing before his eyes in an instant, everything blurred, cohesive. Suddenly the landscape stops and in his mind, Latham sees through his own closed eyes, the three assembled before him, aware of the other 5 watching intently.A small space the size of a pinhole starts to dissolve in front of him. Slowly that spot gets larger as it pushes through land, around trees, over mountains, steadily growing to encompass all his main vision. Towns pass in a flash, there and gone before even recognizable. And then, as the spool of space hurtles past Latham's vision stops and rests on the interior of James' shop.With a sharp intake of breath, Latham notes that within his mind, all of his poriferal sight as well as all of his senses belay the fact he is still in the jungle, surrounded by his companions. Yet not one step before him the world opens up as if he were standing in the shop.Uncertain, he takes that one small step and whispers that one certain word.The world goes black once again, his mind empty from the visions of the world. Opening his eyes, he is greeting by the sights and sounds of James' shop, accompanied by Van, Ilshana, and Janelle, everyone's knuckled tightly clenched white.Releasing a small laugh, Latham breathes out an inaudible, "Wow."</blockquote>
