¨but... are the others dead? can you... take me to them?¨

"No one seems to be dead as far as I can tell. And sure!"

The band flashed, and suddenly Salem appeared next to Tam and Bat.

Beosta lifted her chin and looked away. “Well, you just barely said I was crazy. So it’s definitely not that.”

"I think love is always a little crazy. Wouldn't be much fun if it wasn't!"

“A man. I need to keep track of him.” He added a Cast, stopping his voice from reaching the crowd. He followed them into the operation room.

 

The Ennuller stood in front of him, blocking his path. You speak of the new recruit? Do not worry about him. He is in our care, now.

What are you going to do?

The door was stuck.

 

I am going to stand here and stabilize your core. explained the man. Someone else is going to take a deeper dive and try to excise that contaminant.

Another Ennuller entered the room, surveying Tenth up and down.

Bat screamed.

“I’m not—!” 

That was pretty much a lie, she knew. “Well… it doesn’t matter, anyway.”

The General swung her maces at Selppaenip from all sides at once, aiming to crush him between them.

 

Selppaenip executed a expert dance with his katanas, deflecting each of the maces just enough to miss him.

6 minutes ago, NameIess said:

"I don't know, but you must turn at once! We are almost within range of their Volcanic lasso!"

 

TP grumbled and turned around. He wasn't even sure how he had ended up back where he started in the first place.

6 minutes ago, NameIess said:

"I am called the Dreamsmith, and I seek the Narrator known as Onyx."

"He's not home," grumbled the voice.

Salems eyes welled up. They werent dead! Shadows, she hadnt killed them.  it wasn´t her fault. Salem stood, awkwardly, tears streaming down her cheeks, her pointy smile genuine.

"If you say so," said Bacon cheerfully.

The woman who had asked for Beosta's help poked her head out of the prison room hopefully.

Pyk nodded. This made sense. “The newest ones have an AI to interpret you thoughts; they should be intuitive. And, well, I’m making a specialty suit. I may be able to make one that allows fire if the regular ones don’t.”

He entered, the door opening up to a slightly cluttered room. In the corner, a husk one of the major Withergeists stood. He set his Mordite blade on a table, and placed his suit in the corner. Exiting, Pyk was a man of average height, with a strange contraption on his arm, and a cloth over his eyes. At the edges of the cloth, an acid burn was visible. He reached his hand behind him, searching for a minute, until he picked a small camera off the suit and placed it onto his eyes.

Asher walked in surveying the area. and hummed softly. They looked at pyk then the contraption briefly noting the eye scar. They walked over. Asher knew a lot of people didnt like their way of looking at people. Like they were analyzing them. In fact many people said that Asher treated others like they were robots, or just mere science experiments. Asher knew they thought like this but didnt care. People didnt make sense to Asher and they just wanted to figure people out. So Asher did what they always did. Inspected. Asher looked at the contraption on his arm. They had already passed the scar off as an acid burn and they knew they didnt like talking of their scars so they didnt ask about pyks. “What an interesting thing you are wearing” Asher asked while looking it over trying to figure out its purpose. They switched to looking at his camera he had put on. “This one to”

Salem ran up to Shoe and gave him a huge hug.

Then, realizing what she was doing, she stepped back.

¨Sorry... uhm, Boo? scary?¨

The General's countless eyes narrowed, and she continued attacking relentlessly. "You are skilled, swordsman. Tell me, what is your teacher's role in this conspiracy?"

3 minutes ago, xinoehp512 said:

"He's not home," grumbled the voice.

"Not home? I could have sworn that I heard of him receiving visitors in his castle just a few pages ago. Wherever has he gone?" The Dreamsmith surreptitiously tried to shove the door open.

(that's Tam, not Shoe. Shoe's not here right now)

Tam hugged the child back. "It's alright."

"No idea," said Selppaenip cheerfully, expertly backflipping his way through the General's attacks. "I just came along to defend the innocent."

Onyx sighed and opened the door.

"What do you want?" he asked.

"Hm. I believe you." The General pulled back, maces in a guarding position. "Take your master and go. I want only the Great Wizard."

The Dreamsmith smiled. "To see you. May I come in?"

Tam laughed. "You sure get scared easily."

Bat turned red.

"If you say so," said Bacon cheerfully.

The woman who had asked for Beosta's help poked her head out of the prison room hopefully.

"Right. Moving on." Beosta took a deep breath and reached for the withergeists. Long story short, she managed to pull them all out, and then promptly came very close to blacking out and sat down against the wall for support.

[Immortal Platypus]

4 hours ago, NameIess said:

The Silent Hero stubbornly refused to be located, but the Valiant One stalked towards Platypus. "No time for a trial? No time for justice?" His eyes burned with anger. "The Great Wizard was allowed to come. Yes, the Brave Adventurer tried to keep him in the dark about the meeting. But I informed him. Because like the fool I was I assumed he'd come defend himself. Instead, he sent spies who disrupted the meeting and attacked us. The Brave Adventurer has it out for him, I'll admit that. But the hard evidence he presented, and more pressingly the evidence presented by the Wise Scholar, demand an explanation. Since the Great Wizard refuses to give that explanation, we will capture him and bring him to trial. And you will not stop us from seeing justice done."

"Was I unclear in my statement?" he asked furiously. "He didn't send any of those spies. At least on of them was one of my servants who was supposed to be on a vacation, but ended up through a portal on Hawaii. I traced the cause of the portal, and it wasn't the Great Wizard's." He paused for a second. "Speaking of which, have you seen him? He was a squirrel. He looked... like a squirrel." He shook his head, launching back into his argument. "What hard evidence? The letters from the Dreamsmith? The Dreamsmith himself has discussed those letters with me. But all of this doesn't matter."

He took a deep breath, preparing to get the important message through the Valiant One's stupid, stubborn, thick skull.

"THE THREAD WILL LITERALLY END IF YOU CAN'T PUT ASIDE YOUR THRICE-BLASTED PRIDE AND WORK TO STOP IT!! I DON'T CARE IF THERE IS A TRIAL, BUT IT CAN ONLY HAPPEN AFTER THE THREAD IS SAVED!"

Quote

The ash-covered rabbits leapt for Hacob's throat, swarming from all sides. [Kill him before the great one chains us again!]

Hacob flipped, kicking rabbits as they passed over him with his steel-toed shoes. Then he went subtly, but quickly, in towards TP.

2 hours ago, NameIess said:

Hey at least he hasn’t left the shard for 2 weeks right after starting a giant plot with basically everyone active on the thread involved in it.

44 minutes ago, NameIess said:

... glanced at the battlefield, then froze. He rushed over to TP's head and shouted down to him in a very normal voice. "TP! You must change direction! That volcano is a stronghold of the Brave Adventurers. They'll capture us for sure if we get close to it!"

32 minutes ago, xinoehp512 said:

[You mean the snowy mountain was a volcano this entire time?]

26 minutes ago, NameIess said:

"I don't know, but you must turn at once! We are almost within range of their Volcanic lasso!"

15 minutes ago, xinoehp512 said:

TP grumbled and turned around. He wasn't even sure how he had ended up back where he started in the first place.

Hacob was very confused. He had made this volcano. How had the Brave Adventurers gotten into it already? Oh well. Hopefully the Great Wizard would sense the rabbits before they got too far away.

Frickin art right there.

He tried to laugh. "Yeah, that's... that's good." 

Either they were taking him seriously or being mad at him, or they weren't taking him seriously and they were laughing at him. That was okay. He was used to that. 

don't take Bat personally. He's just very uh depressing of a character I guess

"Hm. I believe you." The General pulled back, maces in a guarding position. "Take your master and go. I want only the Great Wizard."

 

Selppaenip frowned. "It is my understanding that the Great Wizard has been wrongfully accused! Which makes it my responsibility to defend him."

8 minutes ago, NameIess said:

The Dreamsmith smiled. "To see you. May I come in?"

"...yes, I suppose."

5 minutes ago, The Halcyon Girl said:

Bat turned red. 

"Right. Moving on." Beosta took a deep breath and reached for the withergeists. Long story short, she managed to pull them all out, and then promptly came very close to blacking out and sat down against the wall for support. 

Bat waved to her timidly. 

Not all of the withergeists were able to be removed.

Ah. I guess she just took out the ones she could, then. 

Beosta saw spots. She leaned her head back against the wall, head throbbing in her skull.

"Easy, there, Beosta," said Bacon gently. "You don't want to spend too much time in close contact with the forces of darkness and destruction. That will make you really crazy."

"But, my John-!" said the woman, close to tears. "You have to help him!"

The John in question was sitting alone in his cage, smiling faintly.

"I... I can do it," she insisted. She reached out her hand and connected to the withergeist and pushed against it with everything she had. 

A wave of pain crammed itself into her brain like tightly packed cotton, nearly making her lose focus.
