The Longest Thread (Misadventures)

[Ashbringer he/him]

Schrodinger remembered that the proper word for a feather fountain pen was quill.

But by remembering so, he forgot who James was.

Just now, Channelknight Fadran said:

"Then let's go. I have a cousin who works for him; his name is Not-Fadran. Getting in will be a piece of cake!"

"Great. What do we use this pen for, then?"

[Channelknight Fadran]

Just now, DramaQueen said:

"Great. What do we use this pen for, then?"

"Something that will be plot-relevant at some point in the future. Let's go!"

Drama opened a portal and pulled Author Fadran with her.

[Channelknight Fadran]

And so it was that Author Fadran and his running mate, the prison convict Drama, began their holy quest to defeat the Overlord with a fountain pen!

[NameIess]

Meanwhile, Not-Fadran was convicted as a traitor after accidentally tripping on the Overlords robe. He was sentenced to death.

[Ashbringer he/him]

Schrodinger realized that this quest needed a few encounters and summoned three goblins with sticks.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Overlord Pallus stared over his lands. They were bleak and dead, all the life having been sucked out of them by the hordes of withergeists that had, until recently, roamed the land.

He sighed. How was it that nothing ever went his way?

Luckily, Drama wrote the rest of the story with the feather fountain pen (not a quill) and it saved them all, defeating the Overlord. Author F and Drama returned to the council, while Not-Fadran became the new Overlord.

His new advisor walked up behind him. "I have recently received a communication from Withy himself. If we kill two adventurers, he will keep his withergeists off of our land."

[DramaQueen she/he/neopronouns]

Just now, Channelknight Fadran said:

Oh scud.

Oh scud.

Fadran was too busy cursing to realize that Drama had saved them all and that his cousin was the new Overlord.

Nameless poked his head through the portal behind them. "Oh, I forgot to mention. No using your narration powers to bypass the quest. That would be cheating."

Narrator X gave Drama the equivalent of a stern look and informed her that cheating would not be permitted.

"Fool," said Pallus. "You know nothing." He sighed again. "The Witherlord has long since departed these lands. Any message from him is obsolete."

[NameIess]

Just now, xinoehp512 said:

"Fool," said Pallus. "You know nothing." He sighed again. "The Witherlord has long since departed these lands. Any message from him is obsolete."

The advisor paused. "Well... He might have said that he would come back if we didn't do this."

(I remember that night, I just might regret that night for the rest of my days)

When Drama and Fadran arrived at the Overlord's palace, they learned that Not-Fadran was under arrest, and they no longer had no way to get in. 

"Well, this sucks. What do we do now?"

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Pallus laughed. "You think you know the mind of the Witherlord better than I? Fool." He sighed. "I would like nothing better than his return. But that is not to be."

[Ashbringer he/him]

Schrodinger realized that he was allowed to use Narrator powers placed four soul sand in a familiar pattern.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Narrator X reminded Schrodinger that this was a different kind of wither.

[NameIess]

Nameless coughed. "Um, Schrodinger? Are you sure that's a good idea? We're in the middle of the new councilroom that I just built."

Narrator X remarked that that was a good point and had the sand be cleaned up.

[NameIess]

Nameless placed some bedrock.

"You might use that pen," suggested James.
