The sophon said - wrote - nothing at first.

Sandy sees this, by the way, but the sophon is an AI and it's the one doing all this right now.

"Alright."

Is KDJ a Narrator?

Sandy may be the only character who'll hear he's fiction and not care.

Nope. And KDJ doesn't think they are fiction.

KDJ Laughs. "Its fine if you don't understand, it took me a while to understand."

The sophon unfolded itself from 10D into 7D, so it was now the size of a tennis ball and visible to the eye of a normal human.

"I should go," it said, through sound this time, although it reverberated quite a bit.

The sophon folded itself back up and zipped through one of the doors.

This one's going to have an M-Bot arc.

Aeryn starts stalking off toward a plain brown door, dragging Cep behind her.

Lazar, who had been standing nearby, pulls out a revolver and shoots one of the bats, causing it to plummet to the ground. The other two screech angrily. One hurtles at Aeryn's head, stabbing at her with its tail. Taeidin tries to run over to Cep, but the other bat swoops down in front of him, forcing him to duck to the side to avoid it.

Aeryn snatches the bat out of the air and snaps it toward Lazar.

Is Lazar connected to this subplot you have running?

No. He was just here so I could interact with the Doorway. I didn't even anticipate it becoming connected with TLT when I made him. 

Lazar curses and dodges to the side. The bat screeches, enraged, and dives back at Aeryn. 

I'm assuming you saw my little cutscene in TLT then?

She looks back briefly. "Do not try to find your friend. It would be better for you to forget you ever knew him." With that, she tosses Cep through the door and follows, slamming it behind her.

Erryin's statement only adds to his confusion.

@Ookla The Kintsukuroi I realize I forgot to quote you and you probably didn't see this. Hope this doesn't double post. 

It did. Oh well.
