[Unlike a certain someone else, Torch has been going through the plains at a regular pace. There's a certain level of urgency, as is the case with other Disturbances, but seeing that none of the Torments(?) in this area seemed actively aggressive... Well, no reason to start a fight if there's no need to, right? Torch stops every now and again to look at the crystalline environment... How could he not? So many of his art pieces share visual similarities with this place.
Inspiration will have to wait though. Thanks to his discussion with Turo's Figment, Torch is aware that the real doctor is somewhere in this crater... Though whether this could be classified as a Disturbance or not is a separate issue.
Torch can be found sitting near one of the pools of water, a Warmth spell crackling merrily next to him as he draws in his quire. He'll move on after he's seen a few Dreamers through; while he's not too worried about people getting caught up in fights (...), he still wants to at least make sure that people aren't getting too taxed on their way through...
That, and well...]
Wondering why I'm not going through? [he points at the fireball floating next to him, emitting a warm, soothing regen effect] I don't mind getting wet, but it takes a minute or so for my spells to get back online afterwards.
[Invigorate works as a drying spell but getting it online after getting soaked is less than ideal. But without knowing what's ahead, that's kind of dangerous and apt to send him back into the Waking World if he's not careful. Such is the life of a Pure Mage]
The Depths
[the pool only gets as high as his ankles which is uncomfortable but not enough to have stopped him from walking around normally. No, what has him crouched on a small patch of glowing flowers, staring into the water and, occasionally, at some of the larger flowers. Torch noticeably seems to be avoiding the large patches of dry land... And is sporting some scorch marks on his long cape]
[muttered to himself;] What an odd effect...
[if he notices you approaching him;] Don't stay in the water too long. The last thing we need to learn about here is what happens if a Dreamer falls asleep in their own Dream.
The Lab
[in the lab itself, Torch is going through the papers on the table and jotting things down in his own sandglass weapon. It's probably a little strange to see him following the instructions given to him, but it's not as if he knew where to start looking in the research notes.
Whatever the Doctor was doing, there might be something in here that could help clear it up.
... But it doesn't stop him from sending a dark look at the loudspeaker every now and again. He sighs as he sets down another dataset to mutter;] Turo, just what were you hoping to achieve with this?
