The Longest Thread (Misadventures)

"Don't make eye contact."

[Rabbit Unmade she/her]

Gourd quickly looked away, but it was too late, a Froggerflaffle was charging straight towards them.

[EmulatonStromenkiin he/him]

The Froggerflaffle was poisonous, slightly melting the ground at each hop.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

It began screaming, "ONCE UPON A TIME, A POWERFULLY INVESTED MAN-" It stopped dead as Asela smacked it with a rock. She looked worried. The barrier was only getting weaker. If the Old World returned, it would be impossible to save them both.

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

Indeed, even as she had this thought, a pineapple appeared out of nowhere.

[NerdyAarakocra They/Them]

"It looks like the barrier is weakening." said Asela. "We need to find a way to shore it up. I've heard ledgends of a group called the Tearsmith Collective. If anyone knows how to stop this, it'll be them. The problem is that they all died."

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

The wind agreed with this statement.

[NameIess]

"Fortunately, Death and I are old friends."

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

Gourd failed to respond again. He just grew more terrified as he followed Asela to where Death lived.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

Nobody blamed him. This was a scary quest. Especially since where Death lived was... a cozy little cabin with a soft warm glow coming from inside? Huh. Cool!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" A voice screamed. The universe ended.

[EmulatonStromenkiin he/him]

Death liked to make dramatic pronouncements like that, and only Gourd was scared.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

Indeed, as Asela had grown accustomed to such noises.

[NameIess]

"Death! I've come to talk. Again. Can you come out of your cabin?"

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

The door opened, and out walked Death. They were wearing a bathrobe with a cup of coffee in their hand. "Seasons greetings," they said, somewhat deliriously. "Would you two care for a cup of coffee?"

[NameIess]

Asela nodded gratefully, taking the cup. "How've you been?"

[Rabbit Unmade she/her]

“I‘ve had a lot of company.“ Death said, grinning.

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

“Because of the war?” A buffalo piped up.

[Rabbit Unmade she/her]

“No.“ Said Death, “Because the universe is ending. Obviously.“ Death stands up, “I could take you to the sitting room so you could meet them, if you‘d like.“

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

“Sure,” said the buffalo, and followed.

[Rabbit Unmade she/her]

As the buffalo passed through the door, it turned translucent and ghostlike. “Welcome to death, buffalo.“ Death whispered, “Will you be joining us?“ He asked Gourd and Asela.

[NameIess]

“Not yet, thank you. Not quite yet.” 

[Rabbit Unmade she/her]

“Shame“ Said Death.

The buffalo was bored and so he juggled his eyeballs.

[Rabbit Unmade she/her]

And charging into the other ghosts.
