Shoe cast a suspicious look at Bacon. What are you doing? he thought anxiously.

Was it supposed to die? I mean, yeah? The whole reason we came in here was to defeat Famine . . . which I assume was that thing.

He grinned back.

Wtc does this mean

Beosta stepped back and hastily wiped her blades on her cloak.

I mean, I figured Bacon's Narration getting unexpectedly amped would have some unintended consequences. I figured you'd have a better idea what those might be.

How does one become a Narrator? (I have no plans for Yrank to be a narrator, y'all can rest easy tonight) Like I know that 'narrator-ness' can come and go, like for example, Livetha is no longer a narrator

 

Yrank, who tagged along with Bacon for the sake of 'factory games', was now mysteriously standing alongside a roughed up Shoe, Beosta and Livetha.

Yrank didn't bat an eye when Bacon used his powers, he had been used to the terrifying presence of Narrating and its equally eerie Narrators.

 

Well hehe Yrank's back again

The beast was quite glad to heal. Actually, it swelled up to maybe three times its previous size, now dwarfing all of them.

”The beast was crushed by the ceiling caving in,” Beosta said. But the beast just shook the majority of the rocks off and jumped at her. 

Frik. He’s big, was all Beosta had time to think before the beast’s claws ripped into her. 

Eyyy me too what a coinkydink! 

Bacon don’t just heal her all the way I want her to be sad for a bit 

sad and bloody :3

Well Bacon making Livetha a Narrator, uh, maybe wasn't actually possible  but you know how Bacon is.

As for becoming a Narrator IDK man. Narrators usually just show up randomly.

"Well," said Bacon, "I'll take that as my cue to leave. Have fun on the rest of your date!"

And with that he teleported himself and Yrank NOT HRANK back to where they were supposed to be.

"What? No, of course not. There seems to be an overarching goal for us all to meet, and frankly, I know nothing about Narrating, except that it has taken everything from me." Castom looked up, possibly sensing Yrank's smouldering anger.

"How can I" he continued. "muck around when I know for a fact that people are in a danger I could help to stop." Yrank cooled down, he was not good at letting his feelings out.

"Sorry, I just mean, I can feel something wrong with all this Narration. I have to be ready, or more will lose their lives."

 

Btw, Yrank's saviour complex is a bit more visible here, and he tends to be extremely, yet subtly, overprotective of those he knows.

normally one doesn't "become" a Narrator, but what Platypus did is not "normal" so it's probably possible. Most Narrators are Narrators from their creation up until their death (besides Platypus, but he's weird).

YOU'RE KIDDING, Shoe thought as the creature stood up. BACON, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! He Narrated some large rocks to hit the creature in the head, which he hoped would distract it from maiming Beosta.

The monster was indeed distracted. It figured it would finish eating Beosta later and came for Shoe. 

Beosta squeezed her eyes shut. She didn’t have to try and distract herself from all the blood— pain was spreading through her body like fire.

”The monster… is encased… in iron,” she managed. 

Accordingly, the monster was now inside a strange chunk of iron. It didn’t move. 

Beosta blacked out. 

Livetha, who’d skittered out of Beosta’s cloak when the fighting started, chirped in alarm and scurried over from deeper inside the cave.

Dang.

Shoe skidded to the ground next to Beosta, gripping her shoulders with shaking hands.

Beosta was suddenly healed! he thought frantically.

The wounds across her body started to slowly stitch themselves together. Shoe breathed a shaky sigh of relief.

He didn't waste any time; after she had mostly healed, he gingerly scooped her up in his arms and carried her out of the cave, Livetha in tow. The cave was filled with solid rock, he thought, and suddenly the entrance to the cave disappeared, the stone smooth as if there had never been anything there.

He set Beosta gently on the grass, then sat and waited for her to wake up.

Livetha placed her tiny paws on Beosta’s chest. Her own began to bleed, and Beosta’s wounds almost completely disappeared. 

Beosta woke, head pounding. 

Where was she? The sun hurt her eyes. Her wounds didn’t hurt so much, though— actually, most of her gashes were completely gone.

She sat up carefully. “Ow.”

Shoe gently put a hand on her back to help support her, then got the pad out. Hey! How do you feel?
