"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."

Beosta whirled, then stared at Tam for several seconds before she managed to open her mouth. “My… my… what?”

"Your dad. D-A-D, dad. Your father. Your padre, vater, pai, papa. However you want to say it, he wants to talk."

A wave of shame and fear and darkness slammed into Beosta’s mind. She blinked hard, turning away. “Well, I don’t want to talk to him. How did he get here, anyway? Tell him to go away. Tell him to leave me alone.”

"Um, okay." She vanished and reappeared in the desert again.

"She said she doesn't want to talk," Tam said to the man.

Sensing a bit of what she must be feeling, Shoe gave Beosta a concerned look. What's that about?

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.

"Do you mean to say you don't know why you are important?"

The hunters looked around, before sending out a wall of raging fire, heading straight for the barrier. 

Cricket looked in terror. Even if the barrier could stop the flames, the heat would be unbearable.

1 hour ago, The Halcyon Girl said:

Beosta liked that. 

“Portalers? Why would they be chasing you?”

The man scowled. “Just take me with you.” 

-

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

Lady Bug gave her a princess dress. 

"I don't know. They could be Narrators, but they were too experienced with shifting for that. But that could explain the flames. Bacon are sure this is a good idea, just waiting? Surely they will come up with some way to trap us, burn it, we're already trapped! This barrier isn't letting me portal!"

Faunus turned towards Bacon, her brow furrowed in confusion. “No, I can’t say I do. . .”

1 hour ago, The Halcyon Girl said:

Lady Bug gave her a princess dress. 

She eyed the dress with a flat, unamused stare, before slowly raising one eyebrow at Lady Bug. “Um, no thank you.”

Feeling somewhat self conscious about the dress she was wearing, Faunus wondered where she could find a good pair of boots and trousers. As she thought that, once again her clothing changed to fit what she wanted. Her green dress pulled in on itself, the skirt becoming pants of a dark green shade, the top part of her dress splitting from the rest to become a white tunic, with long flowing sleeves, and laced up the front. A belt sprouted around her waist, made of good sturdy leather like the boots that now covered her feet, a small pouch for coin attached on the side, as well as a good hunting knife.

Glancing down at herself, Faunus frowned in confusion. Who was doing that? Making my clothes change?

1 hour ago, NameIess said:

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.

Faunus raised an unimpressed eyebrow at the scene, folding her arms across her chest once more as she watched Subversion stomp off in a tantrum. “The prophetic energies? Please- as if I could offend them.” She said with a snort of amusement.

55 minutes ago, xinoehp512 said:

"One second," said Bacon. "Did you guys hear that? It wasn't just me, right?"

“I heard it too.” Faunus said, although she seemed confused once more. “Although it sounded like utter nonsense. Who’s Advernturers? And what about this Thread? Or those Plotblades was it?”

[Immortal Platypus]

45 minutes ago, NameIess said:

"I don't know, maybe bec-Any could wield the dread Blades. The fates swirl. Doom or salvation shall come.-ause it's terrible for your hair or something?" What, does he hear the voice of prophecy too?

Platypus was kind of confused. He had masked his thoughts. "My hair? Subsy, does it look like I care about my hair?"

Quote

"Because they're not injured? Didn't I just tell you that?" The medical adventurer looked confused.

"Yeah, but why do you have to clear them if they're not injured."

Quote

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

Platypus was still confused. And while she was right about that, it totally counted.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

48 minutes ago, NameIess said:

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

"Hear what?" Subversion looked confused. "Is it the voice of prophecy?"

Bacon played the clips of Subversion doing prophecy-voice.

Fourteen firefighters showed up and put out the fires with a massive hose.

"Why didn't you say so?" cried Bacon. "Here."

He made a doorway for Cricket.

Almost. But you'll have to react better than that. Imagine that I'm going to throw another sphere at you. What will you do?

"Oh yes," Bacon said, "apparently there's some sort of quest to save the world going on! Some sort of Thread-destroying weaponry is going to show up- the Thread being where we all are, of course."

Nogard picked one at random and started down it.

The doorway lit on fire as the flames engulfed the barrier. Cricket raised an eyebrow. "Any other plans, genius?" he said to Bacon.

 I would imagine a barrier.

Subversion pretended to ignore Faunus, shadows swirling around her (also booted) feet as she stomped away.

Platypus was kind of confused. He had masked his thoughts. "My hair? Subsy, does it look like I care about my hair?"

"Now that you mention it, I always wondered why you wore a rat's nest on your head. Do you mean to say that it's your actual hair? No wonder you're so angry all the time."

4 minutes ago, Immortal Platypus said:

"Yeah, but why do you have to clear them if they're not injured."

"We have to make certain that they're not injured, so that we can treat them if they are." The adventurer glanced at Hacob's stab wound again. "Are you certain you're feeling alright? Blood loss can make you lightheaded, you know."

Subversion gasped. "I told you this would work! And Platypus thought I wasn't an oracle. Hah!"

7 minutes ago, xinoehp512 said:

Nogard picked one at random and started down it. 

As he walked down the hallway, Nogard heard muttering coming from further on ahead, just loud enough to make out. "-ou really think we should go along with his insane plan? If anything goes wrong, the entire Thread could be destroyed!"

 

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

47 minutes ago, Through The Living Glass said:

"Um, okay." She vanished and reappeared in the desert again.

"She said she doesn't want to talk," Tam said to the man.

Sensing a bit of what she must be feeling, Shoe gave Beosta a concerned look. What's that about?

“I didn’t ask if she wanted to talk,” he said, inpatient.

“It’s nothing. Nothing.”

Cya!

The vines disappeared into the nugget of metal. “Very dangerous. But very interesting. The cuts are exact… not ragged at all.”

Well sorry for the random going by by. I got sick.. then. Behind in school and my iPad died so I couldn’t do anything. So yeah life didnt like me for some reason. 

Asher looked at the cuts “thats almost smoother then if it was cut by mordite” they spun a piece around their finger. “Very interesting indeed.” 

The vines are natural stuff right? Not like a machine or anything.

"Okay . . . But she didn't want to talk, and she's busy, so I'm not going to bring her here. I should really get back. Do you have a way to get home?"

Doesn't seem like nothing. Seems pretty important, actually.

“Ah, so like end of the world as we know it?” Faunus waved a dismissive hand, her expression flat, although the twinkle in her green eyes, as well as the slightest upturn of her lips revealed her sarcasm. “Boring, please I have better things to be about.”

6 minutes ago, NameIess said:

Subversion gasped. "I told you this would work! And Platypus thought I wasn't an oracle. Hah!"

So I clearly didn’t offend away the prophetic energies, hah! Take that, princess. She smiled with satisfaction to herself.

For a moment, she smiled, thinking this was all some joke, until she looked over at Lady Bug, then her smile fell. “I’m doing it? How? I don’t quite understand-“

Naw it’s good. (Sometimes I just feel crappy and just don’t respond to anything.)

Natural. Some plants and animals use it instinctively.

”Yes.” He strode to a closer, where he extracted a purple blue vial, connected to a bulky device. The end was open, and the sides slightly transparent.

”This should allow sustained, safe studying of the Strands.”

He pressed a button, and a single Strand rose up through the vial, reaching towards the top, staying there.
