Subversion read the contract, then nodded. "Very well." Reaching to the side, she summoned her Narrationblade in the form of a pen, then signed her name nonchalantly in glowing energy. "Here you go. Hold up your end of the bargain and I'll hold up mine."

"This person, you mean? He is an old friend of mine, from the days before I learned the secrets of normalcy." discomfort flashed across ...'s face as he turned back to the old man "I cannot help you. I am not the man I used to be. I wish I could do something, but... I cannot."

"You could testify in my favor. They would listen to you, if to anyone. Old friend, please. He has turned the whole council against me. Even now, their hunters draw ever closer, and I doubt very many beside yourself would ever trust me." The old man absently held some rice out to the side, feeding an invisible rabbit. "Please, help me. I cannot do this alone."

"It was what I was made for." Subversion quietly summoned a complicated contraption of mirrors to see what Bacon was writing.

The three pressed Platypus fiercely, sparks flying as their blades clashed with his. "Hurry up!" the voice snapped. "Do not give him time to use his powers!"

“Bet,” she said. She’d intentionally not put anything in the contract that would restrict her to a time limit or fix any punishments for failing. Just in case. 

Livetha chittered inquisitively. 

“I’ll explain later,” Beotha told her stoat, who climbed back to her perch as a hat.

Tull saw Beotha talking to a strange figure, and decided to watch. So Beotha was going to steal from him… and such a powerful person. He waited for the person to leave.

Subversion waved to Tull cheerily, but remained where she was.

"Oh, and if you take too long, I may start recruiting other people to get me the Plotblade, so don't dawdle."

“Who are you? What do you want with my blades? May we perhaps work out a compromise…”

Tull took multiple lerasium beads.

Beotha stared at him, feeling very guilty.

Tull took multiple lerasium beads.

Subversion stared blankly at the Lerasium. "What is that for exactly?"

“A quick escape, if needed.” 
“Beotha. I hope you don’t still want to murder Gail. I’m not giving up these blades lightly.”

”Shoe.”

“No,” she muttered. “I don’t wanna murder Gail. Are you a narrator too?”

Sequence's eyes lit up a bit. "The Brave Adventurer, you say? Hm... I think I'd like to meet him! And help you all with this world saving quest. Sounds important, and I am dreadfully bored."

"Uh. Well I doubt he'd be happy to see us. Seeing as we stormed their headquarters and all."

1 hour ago, Through The Living Glass said:

Shoe resigned to not give up any information until Bacon told him what he and Beotha were planning.

Shoe nodded.

Shoe sighed. He missed Nogard.

"Aww, come on," wheedled Bacon. "Not even a hint?"

I must resist. I... must... be... normal-!

He let out a groan, unsheathing his katanas dramatically. It was no use. 

"I am Selppaenip!" he called. "Destroyer of Pineapples! Defender of the Innocent! If there is any way in which I can help you-!"

"It was what I was made for." Subversion quietly summoned a complicated contraption of mirrors to see what Bacon was writing.

The three pressed Platypus fiercely, sparks flying as their blades clashed with his. "Hurry up!" the voice snapped. "Do not give him time to use his powers!"

She saw "when they see her" and then Bacon whisked the paper away, eating it. "No looking! It's a surprise."

“No,” she muttered. “I don’t wanna murder Gail. Are you a narrator too?”

“Let’s see.” Tull impaled himself with the Benevolent blade, the first time it fully entered his body.

”Yep. I am! How else do you think I got these lerasium beads?”

Beosta blanched. “Uh… how about… can you make Livetha stronger?”

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Just now, Through The Living Glass said:

Nope! Shoe grinned at the Narrator.

Bacon sighed. "Alright. If I tell you what Beotha is planning will you tell me?"

[Through the Living Wrath he/him]

“Hey! We don’t need to fight! Just get your friend to leave me alone.”

Just now, The Halcyon Girl said:

 

Beosta blanched. “Uh… how about… can you make Livetha stronger?”

"Ah, why not?" mused Bacon the Bard. "Let's have her be a Narrator too."

He snapped his fingers, and Livetha began to glow.

He snapped his fingers, and Livetha began to glow.

Beotha panicked and pulled the stoat out of her hair. “What… so does that mean she can just do whatever?”

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

"What? And you still won't tell me?"

You didn't tell me, so I figured it out.

Now you get to do the same.

Shoe grinned mischievously.

[Through the Living Wrath he/him]

Tull nodded. “She has more access to the plot than a normal character. She is more… aware.”

"Uh... Yeah. Pretty much."

Shoe grinned mischievously.

"Fine! I will!" Bacon the Bard stormed off in a huff. 

Two minutes later he was back at Shoe's feet, kneeling and begging. "Please! I need the answer! I'll do anything!"
