"Whoops!" declared Bacon the Bard. "I'm definitely not supposed to be here."

And he vanished with a faint smell of pork.

Erif roundhouse punched the newcomer on instinct.

The woman ducked, grabbed his arm, and hurled him to the floor. Good stoat, she thought approvingly, then dashed for Gail. 

Gail had no idea what was happening, but that gleam in Beosta’s eye was nothing to be trifled with. 

ehehehehe no promises :3

As he hurled away, he steelpushed against the metal in the carpet, then returned to the woman, impaling her with the darker of his blades, named Malevolent Plot Twists. He focused. He didn’t want to change her identity, just to knock her out.

"Ow," said Erif, somewhat muffled by the ground. He pushed himself to his feet and eyed the newcomer warily. "Who are you?"

"We're trying to help those people escape!" declared Nogard. "Sequence, Arranis, now would be a good time to use those weapons of yours!"

@Sequence @Scars of Hathsin

Sequence, who had been snoring in a lawn-chair that seemingly appeared from nowhere, snapped awake. Right in time? Too late? Who knows.

"Huh? What? What'd I miss?" She rubbed her eyes groggily.

Nogard was staring into space, mouth slightly open. 

He suddenly noticed Sequence. "Oh! You... vanished."

@Sequence

We had a fight and then got escape-teleported to a snowy mountain top. A bunch of people went to do a side quest (not Nogard though)

"Did I?" Sequence hummed to herself quietly. "Yes... I do tend to do that sometimes. Anyways, how are you today, Nogard!" She looked around the landscape appreciatively.

The stoat in her hair fainted. The woman cursed. “Quit it, you idiot!”

Tull stopped. Gail… Gail had been… her pet was so menacing… he had an itching suspicion that this woman was correct. And Gail had obviously known her. “Fine. I’ll tie the two of you up, and then you can explain yourselves.”

He blurred, getting rope and tying them up before they could blink. He refilled one of his metalminds, and popped it into his mouth.

Gail was clearly terrified. She kept sending glances Beosta’s way. 

Qodi was still quite distracted, munching on what was left of a downed suit of armor. 

Beosta clenched her jaw. “She stole my rabbit.” 

“That’s not true!” Gail shrunk before Beosta’s flat glance.

“Clearly you two know each other. So this is what’ll happen. I’m going to set up a speed bubble next to one of you, and you’ll tell me your story, and what you know of the other. I’ll do this with both of you.

I am the master ninja, it seems.

“Of course,” Beosta agreed. “Untie me.”

“Whatever,” Beosta sighed. She was nervous, though.

“You aren’t being untied until you talk. Erif, take this.” He sliced Erif again, then lightly punched him, Snapping his abilities. “You were a Mistborn. Hopefully that helps you search while I interrogate these two. Take these metals.”

He set up a bubble, interrogating the new woman.

hehe i think im overusing this.

The fourth wall exists for Erif and Nogard. That's why they can't comprehend the true nature of Narrators/Authors.

ah. that makes sense.

Tension hung over the council room of the Brave Adventurers. The wounded had been taken to the infirmary, including the Brave Adventurer himself, but the wreckage left by the battle still remained, and the high Council had to stand in the midst of it as they continued their meeting.

"We have no choice. I do not like it any more than you do, but we cannot ignore the facts." The Honorable Judge spat out the words as if they burned his tongue, but he continued. "The Great Wizard plotted to claim these Plotblades without telling any council member, and his correspondence with the Dreamsmith is highly suspect at best. Furthermore, those intruders had more than just that one magical rabbit with them if my information is right, and they bypassed our defenses far too easily. I know they used Narration, but still, we should have had warning of their presence, even if our magic could not keep them out. The Great Wizard himself claimed that his wards would give warning before anyone unauthorized could break into this hall, even the Witherlord himself."

"I don't like him." Muttered the Valiant One. "The Brave Adventurer, I mean. He would never have been elected if his predecessor had not retired so unexpectedly. Storms, if he'd announced it when he decided to retire, instead of waiting for months until the day before the election was held, even then we would have gotten someone else. I know that there was no way he could have influenced that, but still. It seems too fortunate. And now the Great Wizard, his greatest opponent on the council, proves to be a traitor and threat to the whole Thread? It's too... too convenient."

"Like him or not, he is our leader. And like him or not, I agree with the Honorable Judge. The Great Wizard is too much of a strategic danger for us to ignore." The General kicked a muffin angrily. "Our response here was a disgrace! Our leader injured, along with a dozen other adventurers, and what do we have to show for it? Nothing! Not a single one of those intruders captured, though they attacked us in the seat of our power. Bah!"

The room was quiet then, and tension rushed in to fill the silence.

Finally, the Wise Scholar spoke. "There's no getting around it. We all know what we must happen. I move that we expel the Great Wizard from our number, and charge him with crimes against TLT, to be captured and brought here for trial under the council."

One by one, the other council members nodded their assent. "There, that's done. I'll organize the manhunt for the Gr- for the wizard, as well as that for those intruders. Between this and the Plotblades, our forces will be stretched thin to the breaking point." The General shook her head. "Perhaps that's what he wants. Part of me hopes that these Plotblades are nothing more than a ploy to spread us further, weaken us for some sort of strike. If we could only be so lucky."

With that, the council dissolved, each member making their own way separately from the room, the General shouting for a full casualty report and demanding that her officers meet her in the war room, the Wise Scholar trembling, the Ancient Flaffle resolute.

One by one, All seven trickled away, till only the Valiant One remained. He sat down among the remnants of the Nonagonal table and thought upon the nature of lies.

And if the Brave Adventurer had been conscious to see this, he would have laughed for joy. Because everything was proceeding exactly as he wanted. Soon, his plans would see fruition.

The hamster, who had never left, sent this information via thought mail to Platypus and Hacob. Then he walked over beneath the Valiant One's seat, wondering if he, the Brave Adventurer, was telling the truth.

Quote

Inside the cave, a figure made of mist stood with his back turned.

"Omen! I've come to visit with the Dreamsmith!" Platypus called out, assuming the figure was Omen. He continued striding forward confidently, ducking to avoid the occasional stalagmite.

At first it seemed that no one was there. Then TP noticed an old man, but he could hardly be worth thinking about. He was simply another ordinary person, walking into a Chinese restaurant with his staff, cloak billowing out behind him. Surely he couldn’t be the source of …’s concern.

“I… he should know better.” … mumbled, tearing his eyes away from the door with difficulty. “Ah, is that our food? Excellent.”

...

Eof?

“It… must be something in the kitchen.” Strain was evident in …‘s face. Their waiter came back and said something that didn’t seem important, probably just asking how their food was. He seemed insistent though, swinging a glowing staff… no, he wasn’t holding a staff. Why would a waiter have a staff? He did seem to have aged rather rapidly though.

”…so,” …’s hands were trembling slightly, but he raised his chopsticks to his mouth. “Young one. Tell me… what it is exactly…” he swallowed forcefully.  “That you have seen.” He wiped sweat from his forehead, then set down his chopsticks and glared at the waiter for some reason.

Lol my first 2 characters, both rabbits “appeared out of the (insert blue/red here)”. My first character promptly disappeared, and hasn’t been seen since. And then my third character ate my second. And then my fourth character wasn’t even near anyone else in the beginning.

assume this is b4 speedy interview
“Drink them and they give you magical abilities.”

He pulled out a similar vial, and downed the contents. He then held up a coin and Pushed it away from him.

During interview: 

“Well then who is she? And who are you? And why is your rabbit so flippity flopping powerful!”

He considered her. “Your stoat does send tell me your an animal person.”

Erif swallowed the vial and found to his surprise that it did in fact give magical abilities. He spent the next three minutes experimenting with steelpushing with various levels of success.
