Part of that had to do with how tired you were before you transformed, but he's getting up there in power levels. I don't even think that Nameless could have stripped his Narrative properties, like I believe he tried to. I think they both would've died from Darkness attacking them after the duel, when they were weak." “Platypus was vulnerable. During their fight, Nameless wasn’t trying to kill him, he was simply trying to win. But at the end, Nameless… well, I couldn’t tell exactly what he was planning to do to Platypus, I was too busy fighting to prevent him from destroying my soul entirely, but I know that Nameless was certain that he could kill him.” Subversion shivered. “I’m never going to try summoning him like that again.”

He probably thought he could, but I doubt he could."

Immortal Platypus Posted January 25, 2024 Posted January 25, 2024 "Anything's possible, I guess. It is TLT after all."
The Bookwyrm he/him Posted January 26, 2024 Posted January 26, 2024 Bookwyrm nodded in agreement in the background as pineapples rained from the sky.
Immortal Platypus Posted January 26, 2024 Posted January 26, 2024 They fell from large clouds of cotton candy
Going_North_cal Posted January 26, 2024 Posted January 26, 2024 A single crow flew down, perching on the head of Nameless. The crow, of course, didn’t know that the head it had just perched on was attached to a body which together had the name of Nameless. It was, after all, just a crow. A simple blackbird. Cousin to the raven and grackle, and a further relative of the bluejay. The crow, who decided then that it’s name would be Crow, decided to caw. Loudly. For precisely 3.875 seconds. Directly into Nameless’ ear. The crow didn’t and couldn’t know this, but the decibel level was somewhere near 188 decibels. To the crow, that was simply, “big sound.” The crow tilted it’s head at everyone else, squawked softly, then fluttered off, vanishing into the overcast sky above. The crow would forget the encounter within a couple days. And, because it was a crow, the crow would never understand the profound butterfly effect that its single loud caw would have on the group. But, in TLT, a crows caw took on new meaning: Doom. Death. Destruction. Fear.
Immortal Platypus Posted January 27, 2024 Posted January 27, 2024 Someone, somewhere, who probably existed, briefly wondered how that had happened if Nameless is dead. Then they realized this is TLT, and it all kind of makes sense eventually
Lunamor she/her Posted January 28, 2024 Posted January 28, 2024 A murder of crows appeared. They didn’t do anything, but their name was quite foreboding.
ʟɪɢʜʈ Posted January 28, 2024 Posted January 28, 2024 Their name was actually four-body-ing. There were four of them.
Faerie Braids she/her Posted January 28, 2024 Posted January 28, 2024 Their names were Irkle, Merkle, Gurkle, and Wyrkle, and they formed a four-crow hivemind.
Lunamor she/her Posted January 28, 2024 Posted January 28, 2024 They enjoyed concocting diabolical plans, such as cawing at three in the morning.
The Bookwyrm he/him Posted January 30, 2024 Posted January 30, 2024 Unfortunately the pineapples made this difficult.

Subversion felt a chill run down her spine not unlike the chill most people get when someone walks on their grave, although in her case she felt that it was more similar to the feeling Narrators get when a crow caws very loudly into the ear of their predecessor’s corpse. “Hey, did anyone ever bother finding Nameless’ body?” Edited January 30, 2024 by NameIess

Don't tell me he's still running around out there."

That sounds exactly like something that some up-and-coming villain would do." Hacob paused. "Depends on how you die. I think Darkness would do his absolute best to make it hurt, but that would distract him, and I'm not sure he's willing to be distracted in a fight with multiple Narrators, so who knows."
