The Longest Thread (Misadventures)

[Shining Silhouette he/him]

Steven said "hi" to everyone.

[NameIess]

They were very surprised to find him still alive. 

[Shining Silhouette he/him]

Steven was alive, but unfortunately was invisible

"Hey guys. Can you help a mate out?" he asked in his impeccable reformed-australian accent.

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

Darkstalker could see him and used an animus spell to remove his forced invisibility.

[Shining Silhouette he/him]

"Thanks, mate! 'Twas easier than expected" said now visible Steven

[Ranryu she/her]

Noot, startled by Steven's sudden appearance, chomped on Darkstalker's tail with his piranha-like teeth.

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

"You smell interesting." Darkstalker licks his lips.

Ninja'ed in a utterly hillarious way.

[Ranryu she/her]

Noot, slightly frightened but unyielding, bit down on the tail even harder.

[NameIess]

Someone else approached Noot warily, then handed him a cookie.

LOL WHAT A TURN OF EVENTS 

 

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

Darkstalker pulls Noot off his tail and holds Noot infront of his face.

[Shining Silhouette he/him]

Steven yelped. "What is going on?!" he shouted.

"Darkstalker, put Noot down! Noot, stop biting Darkstalker!! We're civilized creatures. Just because your made me visible does not give you any favors, Darkstalker. Noot, Darkstalker" said Steven, looking at both of them in turn. "Shake hands and apologize to each other."

[Ranryu she/her]

Noot wriggled out of Darkstalker's grasp and ran over to Someone, bowing down to him worshipfully.

"Master has given Noot a cookie! Noot is at your command."

[NameIess]

Someone else shrugged. "Um, okay? My command is... don't let people command you just because of cookies."

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

"I was not going to eat Noot." And to prove this Darkstalker bakes Noot his homemade chocolate chip instant cooked cookies.

[Ranryu she/her]

Noot of course gobbled up the cookies, and then he curled up on Someone's head, determined to ignore any good advice any tall being might give.

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

Darkstalker fell asleep surrounded by his kittens that he had raised.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

It suddenly started raining stale cookies. They made the non-stale cookies very angry, and the two started a war.

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

The kittens lapped up all the milk that fell from the sky.

[NameIess]

Which happened to turn them into giant monster kittens with ten times the cuteness.

The stranger gently placed a small bundle on the ground in front of them. It appeared to be… an engine, of some sorts. There was a cracked engine block with a completely shattered camshaft, several detached pistons and a broken drivetrain connector. “Fixable?” The stranger asked. “Burns diesel.”

Calano knelt, and waved a hand towards him.

A couple of Crolings flew over and began climbing over the engine, examining every nook and cranny.

The Crolings finished their examination of the engine, then perched on top of it and began chattering at Calano.

Calano nodded, then gestured to the engine.

"When do you need it back?" He asked the shadowy figure.

“As soon as possible.” The stranger said. “It is more important than you could possibly imagine.”

Calano sighed. "I'll see what I can do. Do I drop it off to you, or do you come to pick it up?"

“When it is complete, I’ll be there.” With that, they turned around and walked off into the night.

Calano stared at the figure until they disappeared into the stormy gray darkness.

Then he bent down, picked up the strange engine, and brought it to his workbench.

"Alright, boys," He said, and all the Crolings woke up and crowded around the new thing to work with, "We've got a thing to fix."

Calano grabbed a wrench and went to work, his Crolings helping along by pecking at things they saw. Calano's wisdom in tinkering allowed him to craft a brand new drivetrain, and other parts. Calano had to disassemble a couple of Crolings to fix the engine, but he could get them back together again later.

Soon, most of it was done, but there was something missing. It required a very specific type of oil to work effectively, something the stranger in the rain had failed to mention. As well as a crankshaft, something he couldn't manufacture from his home.

"Hm..." Calano muttered.
