"Yeah," Beosta told Tenth Square. "Be nice. Bacon, can you teleport us all back to the mountain with the mechs?"

@xinoehp512

Tenth Square rolled his eyes, which was visible through the visor. “I don’t mean why can’t he talk, I mean why are you all staring at him uncomfortably? Especially the one turning people into children.”

The machine appeared.

It was large, filling the room, and entirely covered with clocks of all shapes and sizes- pendulum, counterweight, spring-loaded, digital- the only thing they had in common was that they were all shattered.

Ista immediately consulted Intellect. You able to make sense from this jumble? With his help she began to draw up a diagram of a working mechanism, using ice as the medium.

"Okey dokey."

Bacon opened a portal to the mountain.

"Oh. Well, we can hear him." Tam said helpfully, turning back into an adult.

Bacon opened a portal to the mountain.

Tam and Shoe walked through the portal.

Cricket stepped through the portal, but not without dread. Something bad was coming, he could feel it.

Beosta followed as well, with Livetha curled up on her head.

"Here is it as it was."

The clocks abruptly un-shattered.

Bacon gave himself every superpower he could think of, then stepped through.

Bacon gave himself every superpower he could think of, then stepped through.

Ista noted this quietly, adding a footnote to the diagram. 

The note: Like a corpse, restoring the original structure will not fix it. Something is missing.

Ista nodded to herself. It would be quite interesting to go about this. Was it electricity it was missing? Or something more structured, like a memory or conscious… less the presence of something and more the patterns that something makes…

She bit her lip, and attempted to work through a few possibilities.

 

Now for Tenth Square! 
Tenth looked around from the portal. Where was he? He readied his katana, switching the setting.

“What now?” Beosta asked.

It’s a snowy mountain. There are footprints that end in a solid stone wall.

"Oh!" Tam ran back through the portal.

She returned with her muffin mech.

"How's this?"

Tenth followed the footprints, reaching a wall. He cocked his head, looking at it for a second. After that, he shrugged, and unsheathed his katana, bringing it down upon the wall. The actual blade, though, was gone. In its place was a long, slender beam of light. With three quick slashes, he outlined a doorway.

He changed the setting yet again, and thrust the now present blade at the outline, a wave of stone and dirt following the thrust and smashing into the outline.

Tam sighed. "Nevermind."

Tenth looks at Tam. “What? Also, what is your name…”

"I'm Tam," she said, feeling disappointed that she didn't get to destroy anything.

"You know, the effects of being injected with nullite."

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

"You know, the effects of being injected with nullite."

Which are?!

Ig Xino already provided some examples but if you want to you could make your own

Tenth Square looked at them, shocked. “How did you guys get Nullite? And… if it’s in your bloodstream, I may be able to help with that. I know a hospital that has a specialty dialyzer. But we’d have to go after this.”

what’s through the wall… is it just like… the other side of the wall, or is there some sort of secret…

Not sure. We're just waiting on Haly, ig.

@The Halcyon Girl

Come hither, my child.

Um . . . yeah, that'd probably be good.

"Although I've never encountered this exact phenomena myself, I would assume that you would start taking on some of the properties of an ennuller. The extent of this I know not, but it would be smart to assume that, as your body hasn't been conditioned to the power, it could be very detrimental to your health. It, in complete honesty, might cause cancer, could cause you to literally blow up, or even potentially turn you into an ennuller. I would also assume that it would prevent speech, like a forced version of how ennullers talk not, not like this'll affect you though. It all depends on how your body will respond to the nullite."

Cricket backed up. "Whoa, whoa! Hold up! You mean you can turn into an Enuller? I thought they were a different species, not like humans who transformed."

Tenth looked at him. “Yea… it probably isn’t the best idea to hope it just turns him into an Ennuller… that’s a pretty slight chance.”

ok now to worldbuild why the heck my character knows this about ennulers…

I have an idea, but not sure how feasible it is.

How does ennulite naturally occur? Only from ennulers?
