Called it, Tam thought smugly to herself.

"So your Beosta's father, then? Interesting."

Then she teleported away, leaving the man stranded in the desert.

She reappeared right behind Beosta.

"BEOSTA-! Oh, wait, you're right here."

Shoe nodded.

Um, I guess it went . . . fine.

No. Just one.

Right on cue, an arrow flew right by Cricket’s ear, slamming into the ground behind him. He cursed, turning and shouted. “Bacon! They’re here!”

@Through The Living Glass @The Halcyon Girl @kpShadowFox @peopleIforgotsorry

Beosta jumped when Tam teleported to her. “What?” She snapped, pulling out her cross blade. “We’re kind of under attack! Teleport us all somewhere or something!”

"Get people who aren't going to fight out of here," Cricket snapped. "The rest of us, we're going to fight."

Beosta felt offended and she wasn’t sure why.

"Well, that's a step up from a disaster!" Bacon conjured a chair and sat down. "We're waiting for Cricket's Big Bad to show up so that we can have an epic confrontation."

Why?

Shoe sighed. Here we go again.

"What does your dad look like? And do you want to stay and fight?"

“What does my dad look like? What kind of a question is that? He has my eyes, I guess? And… yeah, I wanna stay.”

Bacon snapped his fingers and conjured several domes of force around the party. "Alright! Fight time! Let's see if we can't get this mysterious follower of yours to show themselves."

Tenth immediately jerked to the right, his reflexes kicking in. As he did though, he lost focus on the cube.

The sphere followed his movements, curving mid-air to stay on target.

Cricket scanned the terrain, then pointed. "More than one! Look!" he called out, gesturing toward four hunters in dark clothing, each with bows in hand and dark capes that looked to be made out of shadows, several hundred feet away.

Bacon clapped, and an anvil fell on each of their heads.

They instantly shifted away from the anvils, each effortlessly shooting a Mordite arrow, and pulling another one. 

Cricket cursed. "I think they're portalers."

can Mordite pierce the barriers?

"Um . . . no reason. One sec." She vanished.

She appeared behind the man in the desert. "Can you just wait here for like . . . an hour or so more? Things are going down."

Shoe pulled out his battle-ax. You ready? he said to Beosta.

Tenth sword, then instinctively brought up his arm from his side in a slicing motion, attempting to use a nonexistent katana to slice through it.

The temperature under the awning dropped by at least twenty degrees. Pathetic NAME CALLING?! Subversion's hands tightened into fists. "Perhaps I should abandon you here. Or maybe, since you like the heat of the desert so well, you'd prefer to be left somewhere a little hotter? I hear the volcanic regions of Embryar are lovely this time of year." Her eyes glittered darkly. 

Faunus scowled at Subversion, but didn’t rise to the bait, considering Tam was still standing in between them.

On 11/15/2024 at 1:16 AM, NameIess said:

Subversion turned her (literally) ice-cold glare onto Tam. Then, reluctantly, she backed up a step. The temperature went back to normal. "My... apologies, Faunus." She glared at the green-eyed woman. "I suppose I shall excuse your rudeness, on account of your current state of distress." At least for now.

“I forgive you, only because it seems kindness is a certain failing of yours.” The young woman said, flipping her long strawberry blonde hair over her shoulder, as she glared back at Subversion. 

On 11/15/2024 at 10:06 AM, xinoehp512 said:

"Well, I know you're important somehow. I had a premonition." He snapped his fingers absent-mindedly, vanishing away the sand.

“So it was a rhetorical question then?”

Gah, you’re kidding- I tried to copy and paste, but no, let’s just send it instead.

On 11/15/2024 at 1:13 PM, NameIess said:

A spa day? "Please. I'm not the one who's been stuck in the desert for so long I look like something that cat dragged in."

Faunus bristled again, crossing her arms across her chest, and giving Subversion another scowl. “At least I looked like I was actually doing something, instead of sitting around in my pretty little princess dress.”

These are special barriers.

The arrows were plucked from the air by giant hands emerging from the barrier.

Bacon clapped his hands again. The air around the group shimmered.

A ripple formed in the air where the katana would be, but was unable to stop the ball from crashing into Tenth's head.

Beosta liked that.

She took a deep breath, readying her cross blade. “I think so. I guess we’ll see.”

Lady Bug gave her a princess dress.

"But you might get hurt or die. Do you have any weapons?"

Just now, Through The Living Glass said:

"But you might get hurt or die. Do you have any weapons?"

“Bring Beosta here, then. I need to speak with my daughter.”

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

Just now, The Halcyon Girl said:

“Bring Beosta here, then. I need to speak with my daughter.”

"She said she wanted to stay and fight . . . but I'll double check."

She teleported behind Beosta again.

"Your dad wants to talk with you."

"Not quite, but water is nice. People are so slow in it, and it makes it much easier to beat them up. And me? Judge you? I would never."

"Of course that's your reasoning." Subversion sighed. Then she spoke again in a calm, ethereal voice. "The trial is nigh. The secrets hidden shall be revealed. Watch, and tremble for the fear of destruction that could be."

19 hours ago, Immortal Platypus said:

"I don't know. Why are you clearing them?"

"Because they're not injured in any way that requires medical attention."

19 hours ago, Immortal Platypus said:

The voice was mildly affronted.

The Brave Adventurer returned to his study and began plotting preparing for the trial.

9 hours ago, xinoehp512 said:

Nogard hesitated. Was this right?

Uncertainly, he went up two flights of stairs.

The stairs led up to a large circular room with eight different doors leading out of it.

9 hours ago, xinoehp512 said:

"Ah," said Bacon. "Of course not. My mistake. I suppose you were simply getting in an oracular mood, then?"

"Um, yeah. Of course." Subversion coughed. "Not sure it's working."

Faunus bristled again, crossing her arms across her chest, and giving Subversion another scowl. “At least I looked like I was actually doing something, instead of sitting around in my pretty little princess dress.”

Subversion scowled back. This dress isn't even pink! It's black! Made from shadows! What kind of princess wears a dress made of shadows? "I'll have you know that I was doing something actually. I wa-The Adventurers plot. They will break the thread in their arrogance.-s bringing us here so that we could update the prophecy about the Plotblades! Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be working. Probably because your presence offends the prophetic energies gathered in this place almost as much as it offends me!" Subversion spun around and stalked off angrily, dress shifting into a pair of trousers, a shirt, and a dark grey cloak for no reason in particular.

Nogard felt slightly uneasy. Was this the teleporter room?

He checked behind each of the doors, one at a time.

"Well, what other reason would there be?" Interesting, he thought, making sure his thoughts were still masked. That seemed to be some sort of prophecy. At the trial the names will be revealed? The location too, maybe? Maybe I should get some Ennullers to come to the trial.

In the background, the paperwork that Clemency was filling out had changed.

The Brave Adventurer returned to his study and began plotting preparing for the trial.

The voice grew more affronted by the fact that it was being ignored. Then it stopped existing.

More prophecy? And she doesn't seem to know that she's doing it.

Platypus was very tempted to point out the fact that in Paper Mario, Peach wears a black dress that kinda looks like it's made of shadows.

He checked behind each of the doors, one at a time.

All nine doors in the room opened to reveal identical hallways, dimly lit by torches lining the walls.

Subversion frowned. Who's giving prophecy? And that totally doesn't count, as I'm 99% sure that she was possessed in that game.
