The Longest Thread (Misadventures)

[SmilingPanda19 Any!]

The adventurer would look around, moving in a slow circle as he tried to spot any differences that could indicate his enemy when he saw something strange. A small plant way off behind the buildings was growing tall at a fast rate. Suddenly everything around it started to grow as time itself sped up around them.

The brave adventurer sleeps peacefully, completely unaware of the second adventurer's existence and struggles.

[SmilingPanda19 Any!]

The adventurer falls over onto his hands and knees as the world begins to spin around him in fluctuating color and shapes. He closes his eyes and falls unconscious in the middle of a street unknown to him. His quest is momentarily halted until he regains his consciousness and sanity.

Meanwhile, Subversion's Megalomaniacal god-complex and Pride were extremely vexed. Together, they held all the ego of a rather arrogant Narrator, but less than a tenth of a Narrator's power to go with it. And if that wasn't enough, there were also an impressively large number of people that Subversion had angered at one time or another, and as it turned out, some of them really couldn't let go of a grudge.

And so it was that pride and Mg-c ended up tied to a pair of stakes, wrapped in chains made of their own essence and surrounded by a mob made up of basically everyone Subversion had ever wronged. the fact that no one in the mob appeared to have a weapon capable of killing them was a slight comfort, but it didn't look like the mob particularly cared about that tiny detail. At least Platypus hadn't showed up.

Yet.

At least no one had summoned him yet. Most likely they didn’t know how to do so.

The brave adventurer sleeps peacefully, completely unaware of the second adventurer's existence and struggles.

Suddenly he wakes and sees the second adventurer unconscious in the middle of the street. Strangely the town had  seemed to age several years while he had slept.

[SmilingPanda19 Any!]

The second adventurer lays unconscious in the middle of the street. He looks young and hardly of age to be wandering out on his own. He appears to be in need of medical assistance as he most likely passed out due to dehydration, but this still doesn’t explain the sudden burst of time in the scene around them. 

[NameIess]

The brave adventurer yawns, but decides not to go back to sleep. Instead, he heads out towards the second adventurer and nudges him.

[SmilingPanda19 Any!]

The second adventurer rolls over on his side and starts coughing profusely. He appears to be coughing up what looks like hamster hair.

[NameIess]

The brave adventurer offers the second adventurer a drink of water. "How'd you get here? Evil entity hunting you as well?"

[Silver Phantom he/him]

The second adventure doesn’t seem to register that they are being talk to. Their eyes begin to close, slipping into unconsciousness. Then suddenly their eyes snap open, focusing, not on the first adventure but on something else.  

[SmilingPanda19 Any!]

“Crimson…” The second adventurer whispers quietly, his eyes darting every direction around them. “Streets…” He tries to stumble himself onto his feet but he falls back on his hands and knees coughing and on the edge of unconsciousness.

The brave adventurer tosses the second adventurer a bottle of water. “Here. You look like you need this more than me.”

[SmilingPanda19 Any!]

The Second Adventurer turns his head to the sky chugging nearly the whole bottle of water. He wipes his mouth with his arm and looks to the Brave Adventurer with more depth in his eyes. His temporary insanity leaks from him as the water takes its effect in refreshing him. “Thank you.” He mumbles, keeping his eyes darting on the world around him.

[NameIess]

“Think nothing of it.” The brave adventurer glances at the street. “Seems like we were asleep for some time.”

[SmilingPanda19 Any!]

He carefully heaves himself off the ground, brushing his callous covered hands off. He is a shorter and younger man, probably in his teen years. “How has so much time passed, yet we didn’t age at all.” He says looking at the environment and back down at himself.

[NameIess]

“Just one of those things. You’ll get used to it.” The brave adventurer walks over to a house and kicks it.

[SmilingPanda19 Any!]

He rubs his eyes like he is seeing things before scrambling to follow the Brave Adventurer. He is significantly smaller and more child-like compared to the Brave Adventurer. “G-get used to it? You see things like this everyday out here?”

[NameIess]

The brave adventurer laughs. "Like this? No. This is pretty tame compared to the kind of thing that happens regularly."

[SmilingPanda19 Any!]

He also gives fake descending laugh. “Yeah okay- yeah! Okay-“ A squirrel would run past him and he would jump onto the Brave Adventures back. “YEAH- OKAY-“ 

[NameIess]

The brave adventurer offers the squirrel a peanut. "Don't worry about it. We're probably both going to die here, so you won't have to see anything really strange."

[SmilingPanda19 Any!]

He shakes, still on the Brave Adventures back eyeing the squirrel as if it were a killing machine. “We’re going to die here?!”

[NameIess]

The brave adventurer grins. "Probably! There was a scary evil guy that told me that I needed to be eliminated, so I figure we're both going to die unless you have some sort of incredible powers."

[SmilingPanda19 Any!]

He blinks a couple times. “No. I don’t have any incredible powers I just-“ He screams a high pitched squeal and falls off the Brave Adventurers back when the squirrel tries to eat his foot. He kicks the squirrel away and hugs close to the Brave Adventurer. “Yeah- Okay- Yeah- can I stick with you?”
