"I need to see the inspector," said Erif, his voice hard.

“The inspector…?” Sequence thought for a moment. “That sounds familiar, but I do not recall… Give me a moment…” Sequence produced a notebook and began flipping through it.

Hacob quickly duplicated, left one of him with TP on the mountain, then appeared next to Sequence. 

"WHAT? Someone wants to deal with him!? (No offense to him.) Why?"

Sequence jumped, quite startled by yet another spontaneous appearance. She looked at Hacob in alarm for a moment. “… I- … Well, last I encountered Onyx, I found him to be quite tolerable…”

"Sequence, you haven't shown up to any of the Narrator secret meetings. You'd just won a quest. He was legally obligated to be nice to you, due to law 47 bylaw 384 section ZIO. If it's not us winning a quest, he doesn't have to be nice anymore."

“How does one get invited to those, by the way?” Tull asked.

Just now, Immortal Platypus said:

"We don't have them very often."

Tull nodded. “I don’t think any have been held since my arrival, since I’m such a newbie… maybe confronting the Inspector is not the best idea if I want to get on his good side… but oh well.”

Ista was absentmindedly studying the plantlife.

"So will you take us?" Erif pressed.

Ista frowned, then placed a plant in her mouth, tasting it.

"I know it's in the unreal space. There's a couple ways to get there, but the inspector is the most surefire way. Sequence went on a quest there, she'd know better."

also @The H Livetha left Yrank behind with Bacon and Sasha cuz she has diabolical plans 

Well yes, but Yrank somehow made his way there I guess.

So let's say he was teleported back.

 

And so alongside Bacon and Sasha...

Yrank found himself and Castom teleported back to the forest. He thought it must be Livetha's diabolical plans. Bacon was speaking to someone who Yrank vaguely recognised, perhaps an ally he was never introduced to. They seemed to be... playing a game?

I think you might be thinking of Onyx's castle. Onyx's realm is in real space.

"What about you, Yrank? Do you know any games?"

"What about you, Yrank? Do you know any games?"

Yrank thought about it for a moment, glanced at Castom, then back at himself. "Well," he mumbled, "I have a few, but I think they require a factory." Yrank played many a game when he worked there, and those were always good ways to pass the time. "Other than that, I've got nothing I'm afraid."

Where I'm from, it's . . . very peaceful, he started.

I lived in a small community in the mountains, but of course I didn't realize it was small until I left; there were only a couple hundred people. Our homes and fields were wedged between two enormous peaks to the North and South, which were absolutely smothered in pine trees. We didn't get much traffic from other villages. It wasn't an isolated town, per se, but we weren't particularly relevant to other settlements. We'd host individual travelers often enough though.

Anyway, I lived there with just my younger sister; our parents had passed a few years after she was born, and our neighbors took care of us after that. The people in that town were wonderful, and so kind to us, but with our parents no longer there, their relationships with us felt more . . . obligatory, rather than genuine. They seemed distant. There were other kids my age who I was friends with, of course, but I never really felt close with them like I did with my sister.

She never really knew our parents, my sister -even I only remember bits and pieces- but I did my best to make her happy. And she made me happy, too. We'd sit and read books together, I'd play games with her, and help her with her homework (there was a very tiny school). She hated doing her homework. She always wanted to run off and explore and play and just . . . be a kid.

I remember there was a river about a half hour's walk from town- she it was her favorite place to be in the whole world. The river wasn't particularly fast-moving, and it was absolutely freezing, but it was the cleanest, clearest water you'll ever see. She loved to go fishing and swimming and cliff jumping- she just loved it there. We went swimming as often as we could in the summer, and skating and ice-fishing in the winter. There was no place I'd have rather been than with her, there.

He sniffed sadly.

So . . . that's what my hometown was like. After I left . . .

Well, I never had any reason to go back. It's probably changed a lot.

His eyes were misty when he finished.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk, he added, then handed the pad to Beosta.

She smiled at the last bit. “My pleasure. Sounds like a pretty place.” She hesitated. “Why did you leave?”

“All right.” She petted Livetha. She didn’t see any caves or anything up ahead.

Beosta squinted into the distance. There— a little hill with a hole in it. That was probably the cave. 

it’s an opportunity for him to interrogate her if you feel so inclined *shrug*
