Beosta didn't like being left behind on the mountain. She crossed her arms and waited for Cricket to stop zoning out. 

@TwinStorm

The man glanced at him flatly. "Absolutely nothing," he professed. "My eyes don't work so well without gold." 

Cricket, who had been thinking of the vision, quickly came back to the present. "Ah! Uh, sorry, Beosta, here let me make a portal..." he said, hurriedly creating a portal.

"I suppose your initial deposit was fairly weighty," he admitted grudgingly. "This item is a Loose Thread. In basic terms, it's a soul." 

"The soul of this familiar-looking fellow, I suppose?"

"The soul of this familiar-looking fellow, I suppose?"

He debated with himself for a moment. After all, he was not a cheap man. "Yes. Goodness, this is intriguing." He peered closer at Bacon's replica. "Gracious. Where is this Loose End now?"

Beosta glanced around for Livetha. "Where'd she go?"

"Oh, with a friend," said Bacon vaguely.

"Ah. I don't suppose she's a Knotter?" He sat back. "That might explain the... nature."

"A what-now?"

Just now, xinoehp512 said:

"A what-now?"

"A Knotter," he said impatiently. "They tie things up, like Loose Ends. Do you have any more money?"

"Oh- yes. Although without the OA... I don't know how we'll make it back to the others." Nogard looked crestfallen.

"I'm sure we can defeat them, if we need to!" said Selppaenip confidently.

"I suppose you're right. Our odds of finding the others, are quite low, barring some really unusual circumstances."

At Subversion's words, a streak of white light fell from the heavens and impacted the ground about half a mile off from the group.

"...Perhaps." ... sounded less confident.

Selppaenip frowned. "What is that?"

"One moment," said Bacon, giving himself telepathic abilities. Hey, Beosta, he said. Does the term 'Knotter' mean anything to you?

She jumped. Oh. The woman from the city called herself that.

... glanced at Subversion, then started walking towards the sight of the landing. "Only one way to find out."

And she sold you... a soul?

Nogard and Selppaenip followed, curious.

A shiver ran down her spine. How did you know?

This dude I'm talking to told me. Say, wasn't there someone you said Shoe reminded you of?

Beosta glanced around for Livetha. "Where'd she go?" 

Cricket cursed, looking for Livetha. "Here, go through," he offered. "I'll find Livetha for you."

Dude? What dude? The guy at the caravan? She didn't answer the next question, but her mind whispered in affirmation.

Livetha informed him mentally that she was down at the caravan through the portal, so he should just come with Beosta.

Yep. What were you buying a soul for, anyways?

Cricket started, not used to telepathy after the message. "Oh, okay, then let's go."

I... 

I don't want him to be dead.

No! No. I just... 

Yeah, basically.

And you think this salesperson can help you with that?

Owe her what? Your soul?
