Spirit, you'd better not be copying what happened to Shoe

Wait, wasn't he in some other place?

"Good is an illusion," the man said. "All things will be destroyed, in the end."

Bacon brought him somewhere. It was unclear if it was the castle or wherever.

I'm gonna need to read that backstory again...

real. I'm the one that broke standard convention with Platypus being able to change between the four power races, and I'm sooooo confused. I still don't know how in the world a cut could do that

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

9 minutes ago, Through The Living Glass said:

No, you're going to go help fight. Do you have any weapons?

Bat stared at him.

Shoe blinked, then sighed. Right.

He grabbed Bat by the shoulder and hauled him to his feet, pointing to the fighting.

Idk. I'll ask Haly.

HALY!!

K cool.

@The Halcyon Girl

Bat’s eyes widened. “I don’t have any good weapons! Those things are dangerous!!”

actually nvm. Bea’s good and I hafta get off soon anyway.

Uh... this is what happened.

"They got it wrong again!" said Bacon the Bard severely. "You have to say my full name, or it doesn't work!"

He glanced at Cricket. "Oh dear." He snapped his fingers and Cricket was healed.

He glanced at the withergeist floating in the air. It hissed. Bacon hissed back, then flashed a bright light in its face. It shrank back, fleeing.

"Hmm. Hopefully meeting that withergeist doesn't count as 'getting involved'. Oh well." He looked at Cricket. "Shall we return to the castle?"

He didn't take him anywhere.

He reluctantly handed Bat his battle-ax.

Asher nodded. Blocking again. “True. Everything dies. That is unless you’re immortal. Everyone dies. Physically mentally… spiritually” Asher said. Not seeming to care that they were fighting. “So then what’s the point of living. If you die. Then what the point of everything. Because as far as i can tell. Life will end and then it’s useless, everything you’ve done before. What do you think happens whe you die? Do you go to Valhalla and join the hall of the fallen? Do you just cease existing? Go to heaven or hell?”

Nope! Because here, Tenth is dying and because of the chaotic part, cannot get help.

I sent you the plan... it had the Ennuler arc in detail.

Its not really a backstory, just a plotline based in his life before coming here.

He was cut by a rather large piece of powersuit that was actively trying to pump Nullite (among other things) through it and into the wound. He was holding the shard for a substantial amount of time and a good amount would have entered his bloodstream.

Bat looked even more terrified now. “I… I… do I have to?”

[TwinStorm He/Him]

He didn't take him anywhere.

 

But where did Bacon take him in the first place? Are they still in Soul World?

Shoe looked at him. Scud, he doesn't look like he can do this.

He sighed and reluctantly shook his head, taking the battle-ax back angrily.

Fine, stay here, he motioned to the two unconscious bodies, Guard them.

He tossed him the battle-ax, then pulled another out of his pocket, surveying the fights.

Who's fighting who again?

Ashers fighting a guard whilst having a slight moral crisis. Just ur average stuff

"Even the immortal will die," said the man. "Die and pass into the void. Is this not beautiful?"

He didn't take him anywhere; just showed up where he was at. Which I guess is the Soul World.

"What is this place?" Bacon asked Cricket, looking around.

The man wrapped the grenade in vines and deflected it into the ceiling, ducking.

The explosion blew out the top of the dome, but it quickly grew over.

Vines began to grow around and onto the armor.

 

@Through The Living Glass, did you respond here?

Bat almost fumbled the second battleaxe, face burning in shame. “Sorry.”

I did. On the last page.

Basically Tam's armor is glowing white with heat.

The guard didn't seem to have much sympathy for Sequence, lunging at her with a sword.

Sequence yelped and took a step back, blocking the sword strike with her Narration-shield, throwing sparks. More as a reflex than anything, she simultaneously thrust the pike towards the guard’s midsection.

"Soul World. It's a place where anybody can turn this," he said, reaching down and scooping up a handful of the ground, which was hard to walk on but reacted like soft clay or sand when scooped up. "Soul Matter, into whatever they want, with the proper techniques. It's similar to Narration."

 and my post about waking up in the mist is officially not canon, btw.

(who's fighting who again?)

Shoe surveyed the space again.

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

Imma go sleep and try to stop hating myself so just assume Beosta and Gaioh are unconscious and Bat is tryna protect them but also being generally incompetent

Ah, yes

43 minutes ago, Through The Living Glass said:

Tam struggled for a moment. Then the surface of her armor began to glow white with intense heat.

@xinoehp512

Shoe eyed the boy suspiciously, then slung Gaioh over his shoulder. He jogged back to the mansion.

The vines began to pulse, feeding on the energy. The man struck forward with his sword.

"Neat!" said Bacon. "Uh... it wouldn't have picked up my healing Narration, would it? Last time that happened, there were... side effects."

No I posted it here in reply to Glass. Lemme see if I can find it. Also, what happened with the fight btwn Pyk and the woman?

 

I couldn't find it.

also Enulling can't block Soul World stuff, btw.

"You're joking." She made the armor thicker, then impossible slippery so she fell to the floor.

The man grunted in surprise as he was run through. He inhaled, pulling in withergeists, but Conflict glowed in the wound, preventing it from healing.

Just now, TwinStorm said:

Cricket frowned. "What do you mean?"

"Well, you wouldn't want your enemies getting reanimated, would you?"

Bacon quickly checked on the man Cricket had been fighting to make sure he was still dead.

Should he come back?

And I don't know about that, Ennulling can block pretty much anything.

Pyk sighed. Of course. “Now. See, that’s not something I’d like.”

He shifted to her without insubstantiating, the armor once again slamming into her.

The woman was slammed backwards through the air.

"The void. Huh. An interesting belief. Interesting. Is a fascinating word. Fascination. Is that a feeling. Is it subjective. Questions. These are useless are they not? Becuase if you ask questions but die in the end. Then was it worth it? Or should everyone just not exist?” Asher continued ranting. was Asher, Asher? Or were they just absent? Ashers eyes became duller. “Huh. You’ve not been very helpful.” Someone. Someone snap them out! Ashers mind screamed. Hoping that someone could hear. No one can hear thoughts. “I hoped you’d give some good advice huh? But alas. You’re just a guard. A useless normal human.” Asher slashed a gap in the guards arm. “No one has answers. Do they. Only someone who has been through what you have would,” The wound dripped with black smoke “has anyone died? Like i have? In many ways i have died. In what way am i alive?” Asher cut the guard again. The other one had the black smoke dripping along with the blood as the first one did. Asher! Ashers mind scream at them trying to snap them out ASHER WAKE UP!
