The Longest Thread (Misadventures)

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

This poison sat dormant for about 42 years, which passed in the space of a fraction of a page.

[Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him]

Because Time was relative in TLT, technically infinity had passed since the whole affair had started.

[NameIess]

Everything was relative, so technically nothing mattered.

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

Everything was relative. Thus, everything was marshmallows.

[Ranryu she/her]

Then Everything melted.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

This was for the best, as we didn't need that to be a proper noun. For any reason.

[NameIess]

Fortunately, Everything was quick to unmelt. All but its heart, at least.

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

It would have to freeze to death before it's heart could thaw.

[Ranryu she/her]

The Head Zoologist of the Science-y Union of Scientific Things became very interested in this phenomenon. 

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

All the sad little wheat came hopping up.

[Ranryu she/her]

A very tiny octopus named Georgebert became very confused by the quick changes of events.

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

Keys to the box fell into the bottom of the sea and three men swiftly drowned going after it.

[Ranryu she/her]

Georgebert ate their bodies, thus growing into the biggest octopus TLT had ever seen.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

This was very sad, as everyone had liked the tiny octopus.

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

However, Georgebert was still a (fairly) nice guy. 

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

For that, everyone was (fairly) thankful.

[Ranryu she/her]

He only required his subjects to sacrifice THREE maidens to him every day, not four like the previous ruler had demanded.

[NameIess]

Still, some people wanted to avoid paying this toll.

[Ranryu she/her]

Georgebert lowered the rate to 2 1/2 maidens.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

This would be better, but three still ended up dying in the end, so it was rather pointless.

[Ranryu she/her]

Georgebert grew tired of hearing the mortals squabble and make normal mortal noises, so he wiped them out with a single tentacle and then retreated to his underwater fortress to become a hermit.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

This decision was not well-received by the public.

[NameIess]

Unfortunately, one of the maidens who'd been sacrificed to him was still alive.

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

This maiden had a sword and a penchant for the grisly deaths of octopi.

[Ranryu she/her]

She was turned into a giant shark by Pele the volcano goddess.
