The Cross-Dimensional Compass is an extremely powerful Crumevan artifact that allows the user to traverse spacetime. At some point it was cast into the depths of the ocean, by people that hoped that its power couldn’t be found and exploited there. It was, however, discovered by Captain Diel when she was a child, and she’s held onto it since. It is with this amulet that she travels and recruits crew members from across the multiverse.

The Compass functions on intention; the user simply thinks of where and when they want to go and opens a portal there. You can be as vague with these directions as you’d like; it will never take you somewhere you don’t want to go. (It is still wise to set specific ‘perameters’ if you want to visit a specific universe, however, even if those parameters are just visiting a world you have before or know a specific person from.) The portal opened can be of virtually any size, allowing Diel to travel using it herself or take her entire ship with her.

Not just anyone can use the Compass, however; it’s bound to a single user at a time by blood, and they have to shed their blood on it again (and someone else’s) to transfer ‘ownership’ of it. It does detach from a previous user when they die.

The larimar sphere isn’t physically attached to the rest of the Compass, but acts as if it’s held there by a strong magnet.

Idea for an older Diel? (Late thirties maybe) idk I just wanted to draw pirate

Diel doesn’t really like wearing hats because it feels weird on her arms tentacle hair, but she starts wearing Jacinta (her wife)’s after her death*

*Angsty comic about that coming soon!

CW: death of a loved one

Part 1 of the promised Jacintdiel angst comic :)

The Cross-Dimensional Compass allows Diel to travel through spacetime pretty much unrestricted, with which she visits and hires pirate crew members from various universes. However, she is very, very careful not to abuse this power. She knows just how easily using it for ‘little things’ could lead into her acting like she’s above the natural consequences of life (even if the Compass technically makes it so that she is).

For example, one rule she has set is that if someone dies, they die. She can’t go back to save them, she can’t go back to see them.

She has broken this rule exactly once.

Jacinta Mada was the captain of her own crew, in the time just before Settlers. Though she preferred to stay in her own world, her crew and Diel’s would meet up for a little while now and again.

It was during one of these meet-ups that Diel learned of Jacinta’s death.

(This comic starts right after Diel portals to Jacinta’s ship; hence holding on to the Compass in the first page)

Bonus panels:

Jacinta didn't tell her crew the exact reason why Diel was there, or what was going on; she figured Diel felt bad enough as it was having come back and burdening her with the knowledge of her own impending end

(In that one panel she's talking and signing at the same time; it's a habit she and her crew members picked up so no one's completely exempt from their conversations, seeing as Njeri's deaf)
