The Once Author tried narrating again. And it didn’t work. Again. These barriers are so annoying. He thought to himself. 

Desolation laughed at him.

that happened like 4 pages ago, right before you left.

Platypus wandered off, searching for... something. He didn't dare even think what it was, Darkness might hear of it.

that's the Dreamsmith. Abaldor couldn't be there.

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

they are connected.

Cognition is connected to Abaldor, that doesn't mean that they're in the same place. Abaldor didn't pass the trial, so he can't be there is my understanding. I'll defer to @Nameless* if he says otherwise.

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

alright

it should be noted that Cognition is just as connected to platypus or falvan in that, and Cognition should be counted as seperate (just like desolation was; he was technically connected to Subversion or the once-author)

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

wait, did abalodor even get the chance?

when did that happen? Cause Platypus wouldn't let that happen, especially considering what he's feeling right now, the guilt and distrust, and self-loathing, he wouldn't let someone Connect to him. 

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

if he wasnt, can he get the chance?

Its more of an automatic connection than an actual full connection. But still, it exists nonetheless. Neither platypus nor Cognition are probably aware of it.

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

abalodor gave consent/j

it wouldn't have formed with his mind on lockdown, and before that it wouldn't have formed. Platypus is very aware of connections to him and cancels most. Cognition is not connected to him.

Oh, you would never understand. Cognition does have Platypus' connection. Read through their first encounter and you will learn. But Cognition can't do anything with it, and probably won't do it out of fear

i would never understand was that needed? but seriously, they aren't connected. You can't form a connection to platypus without him approving it, that's why i made him relatively weak in Narration and some other things. He has obviously gotten better as he's gotten older, but he still isn't as skilled at Narrating as someone like Nameless or Thaidakar, nor as good at illusions as Subversion. His mental and physical security are pretty much invulnerable, she simply could not connect.

It may be noted that she didn't even try; Fear of platypus is already changing her decisions. I think cognition might have some cool stuff going on but the current path for her is her trying to get Desolation's secrets out of him before he gets killed. And if she does, its gonna get bloody. Alternatively, she can also do what she's trying to do now. Which does involve her going to the dreamsmith, as she was given a "fair chance if other inklings come" probably.

Either way, platypus isn't really gonna be big in cognition's plans, so don't expect that connection to ever be important. Cognition is likely to try and distract or get rid of Platypus. I don't really know if there is a connection but its up to you I guess

im guessing abalodor is sllightly more important here?

Not anymore. Cognition's plans don't necessarily have Abalodor in them, but he is certainly a beneficial happenstance. Besides, you are all missing some serious foreshadowing that's been done. It could be obvious what Cognition's next steps are.

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

i am completely blind to that, im not sure what its going to do, my guess is get a blade or something.

also, i made abalodor as someone who could convince anyone to do something, one way or another.
