I suppose it would involve Ennullers, would it not? 

"Someone who Narrates existence. Essentially, anything I wish becomes reality."

Cricket staggered back, amazed. "Anything?"

Actually, no

Not until she gets to the school for the bonds after her whole backstory

True that

Well, I'd be happy to consult on lore if you ever need it.

"Yup."

"You're all just like Tyris, before... before..." Cricket stumbled back, memories crashing against him.

"but they're mostly harmless. Pretty sure."

"Then why were you undercover?" Yrank asked.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Just now, The H said:

"Then why were you undercover?" Yrank asked.

"Narrators aren't supposed to be in Ennuller HQ! At best I'd get kicked out."

"Who now? Also, are you alright?"

"I'm... fine. I'm just extremely tired and... and..." Cricket buried his head in his hands suddenly.

GOSH DANGIT IT DELETED WHAT I WAS WRITING jfewiofnsmlkdf

*sigh*

K I'm back though

*reading*

Shoe landed in the grass next to Beosta with a quiet oomf.

He sighed. He hated being teleported.

Beosta finally had a handle on her emotions. 

"So?"

"Well," said Bacon apologetically. "Sorry that went nowhere."

The player piano played sad music.

 

[TwinStorm He/Him]

Cricket stood up, running his hands through his hair, now covered in grass, and a crack in reality appeared. A portal. "Can't stay." he muttered, mostly to himself. "Dangerous..."

It took Shoe a moment to realize she was talking to him. He got the pad out.

So . . . nothing. Seems that whole thing was a waste of time. He had me fill out a freaking incident report.

It went nowhere, Shoe confirmed.

I- I-

The ends of her hair began to fuzz into static.

My name, she said, her voice bewildered. Where is my name? Her voice gained an edge of panic. WHERE IS MY NAME?

The guide shuddered, head twitching towards Tull in an instant. No- You must- I could not stop-

Then she was staring away from them, off into the distance.

The Dark One, she said, her voice flat. He has taken my name.

 

xino, the Dark One had better not be who I think it might be. If it is him... 

31 minutes ago, xinoehp512 said:

"No idea. A low ranking Ennuller, who we will likely never encounter again."

I look forward to seeing it

likely? So what you're saying is it will 100% happen

"So what now? Do we go after her on our own or something?" 

[TwinStorm He/Him]

Cricket blinks, taking in reality and the portal vanishes as he falls backwards onto Bacon, knocking them both over. "Ahhh! Sorry!"

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Just now, The Halcyon Girl said:

"It went nowhere?" Beosta asked.

"You think they'll get back to us? This is bureaucracy we're talking about."

I'll leave it to @Through The Living Glass whether or not she wants the Ennullers inserting themselves into the plot.

Just now, The Halcyon Girl said:

"So what now? Do we go after her on our own or something?" 

"Worth a shot, I guess! At least to see what we're up against."

Well, yes and no.

"But the Enullers, they ravaged my land for no apparent reason, I need to know why." Yrank said.

Bacon spins slightly in the air. "Inner ear trouble, eh?"

"Huh? What? Ear trouble? I tried to leave this world, but something stopped me. It pulled me back towards you guys. Seems somebody wants me to stay with you." Cricket suddenly grew nervous, thinking on how much he had just spilled out.

Shoe shook his head sadly. No. Still not possible.

Shoe walked over to Cricket and took him lightly by the shoulders. He wrote, Kid, you okay? on his notepad, then showed it to him.

I'm thinking no.

I don't think so. The Ennuller said she died long before I was born, but that's simply not true.

Ooh, interesting...

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Just now, Twinstorm said:

"Huh? What? Ear trouble?"

"Balance issues," explained Bacon. "More common than you think, among portalers."

"Huh. That sounds uncharacteristic of them. Ennullers aren't too good at ravaging. That's more of a withergeist thing."

"Oh! Um, yeah. I'm good I think." Nervousness flooded once more into Cricket at the face of a stranger. They're all strangers, I suppose, he added as an afterthought.

"Portalers?" Cricket said, eyes widening, "There are others like me?"
