I have returned.

I (the presence and absence of all things) pop into existence exactly in the same spot as Shadow. This cancels out both of us but I'm better at life so I survive somehow. Shadow, however, does not.

Shadow survived, actually. He could never truly be destroyed, after all. 

I now have given the sandwich to someone who will never let it go at all costs.

[Szeth Pancakes he/they]

I kill the person and take the sandwich.

[Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him]

The person blinks, wondering why they were killed. Meanwhile, Someone is still holding the sandwich.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

"Ah, Someone, my old friend!" I appear from the shadows. "Thanks for holding onto the Sandwich for me, old pal." I take it and walk away triumphantly.

[NerdyAarakocra They/Them]

I take the sandwich

As I walk away (slow-mo)

Stuff explodes behind

[Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him]

I punch you while you're walking and seize the sandwich.

[EmulatonStromenkiin he/him]

The shadows claim the sandwich, first knocking out Thaidakar. They then go on a quest to find a quarkbeast.

[Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him]

Shadow sneakily took the sandwich and inspected it, wondering what was so great about it anyways.

[Immortal Platypus]

I (the quarkbeast) command the shadows to get the sandwich for me. They agree and I give it to Questions/Platypus.

I thank the quarkbeast and teleport away.

[NerdyAarakocra They/Them]

I intercept you

While you are reeling from this

I take the sandwich

 

I'm somewhat confused

"I take the sandwich" is five

Perfect for haiku

[Immortal Platypus]

How'd you intercept?

Teleportation is fast.

you couldn't beat me.

[NerdyAarakocra They/Them]

It's a mystery

How I intercepted you

I have the sandwich

[Immortal Platypus]

I take it from you.

You now can't steal my sandwich.

The Sandwich is mine.

[NerdyAarakocra They/Them]

I get the sandwich

Through equitable trading

You get RandomCoin™

[Immortal Platypus]

Deal. I want that now.

I give you a coin for the food.

Now I have some food.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

I don't know how to Haiku.

But here is some bread.

I shall shall steal the Sandwich,

and chop off your head.

[Ati16 he/him]

 

I do not know why,

But I will steal the sandwich.

Haiku is so great.

[Immortal Platypus]

I want the sandwich

I take your identity

I have the sandwich

[AltonicKeys he/him]

I am tad confused

I struggle with counting

I don't have sandwich

[EmulatonStromenkiin he/him]

The shadows claim the sandwich from The platypus, as they just wanted Quarkbeast scales from the Quarkbeast.

is that bad counting?

the second line has just six

it should have seven

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

Haikus are complicated

...

I steal the sandwich

... I am then cursed by a witch

[Eluvianii he/him]

After weeks away,

I come back to this war now.

What is happening?

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

Bookwyrm stood on the surface of a distant world, contemplating the war that formed the fabric of the thread around him.

I once held a Shard, he thought. Now it is gone.

And for what? A sandwich.

The tastiest sandwich ever. Desirable above all other sandwiches.

What did it mean?

Bookwyrm sat down and continued to think.

[NerdyAarakocra They/Them]

I claim the sandwich

With my powers as a shard

Shard of Randomness.
