Summary of Receipt
161 lists the known ways to get Second Vision (get it via Blight, be born with it, or use the Quartz Brain Cocktail), and uses them to theorise about possible methods to obtain Third Vision - either using the Akashic Records, some sort of Nom De Plume link or dreams. She decides to ask Manager 4, Manager 5 and Manager 6 to see if they can get back into the Akashic Records (although they’re banned after their fight with the Dark in there), writes a note to Nom De Plume and sees if she can get in touch with Rem Lazar, an Elder linked to dreams.

aaaaaaaa that feels so much better, besides you all LOVE my lack of punctuation and general adherence to the laws of grammar and reality. plus i cant THINK straight trying to diner up my thoughts i need them babies to FLOW! so now letsssss dive into the new and improved quartz brain 2!
KNOWN WAYS TO GET SECOND VISION
ive been doing it for the better part of what like 2 years now? its really not so hard although i guess it is what the cool kids call "dangerous and stupid" basically you have mmmm like 4 choices when it comes to getting classic second visionary
1. get infected by the wicked's blight then let your girlfriend try to cure you but then it ultimately kills your long term girlfriend and blows up a cafe. down sides include you do lose the second vision once your girlfriend kills herself to fully cure your blight. it seems like a lot more trouble than its worth. plus you cant really turn it off while you have it.
2. youre just born with it baby. but we cant all be manager 1 so that is just not in the realm of possibility for the rest of us. plus not even 1 can see into the otherworld.
3. you do my cool sigil gnosis trick although the more you do it the more prone to afterimages and night terrors you become. at this point im pretty used to it but you know i still wouldnt recommend it tbh. plus as all the serious magic peeps have told me im risking "bricking" myself every time i do it sooooo ahaha... thats homebrewed magic for you.
4. just have 26 pop in and out and tell you whats there. 100% safer for everyone but 26. although... i dont think 26 can pop into the otherworld either sooooooooo back to figuring out a new cocktail!!
POSSIBLE WAYS TO GET THIRD VISION
what do you think?? third vision??? thats a pretty cool name ngl. anyway heres my thoughts so far
1. there MIGHT be something in the akashic records about it plus we now have 3 managers who know how to get there. of course... they are all banned for eternity... so. ahhh its a possibility but maybe not the best one. STILL! im sure the answer is in there and if it isnt its not a very good akashic records is it?
2. 3 words... nom de plume. those time hopping dingbats have always been into using books/bibliomancy and from what we know about the otherworld its made up of like myths and legends from books. soooo maybe theres a connection there????? it seems possible. of course FINDING nom de plume is another problem. i mean i can try calling them using a book but ive never been too good at that.
3. DREAMS? MAYBE??? come on dreams are so weird and maybe there is a link. if ANYONE would know about that it'd be rem lezar. i mean, similar problem to nom de plume in that rem lezar is kind of hard to get a hold of but its worth a shot.
so! thats my plan atm! im gonna write a note to nom de plume and see if i cant lucid dream my way into meeting with rem lezar. ill also see what 4 5 and 6 think about getting into the records again although i can kinda already guess what the answer is lmao.
but for now!!! i leave you
mwah mwah mwah!!!
