I have a name... .. ... .  It's cade... my name is cade. I am named cade.sure thing. Thats totally not something you just made up. 

"Well, Cade, I think your name is stupid, too. How about you, Good Voice in Asher's Head?"

"I can lend some to you, if you like," suggested Bacon. "I could even loan you one of the spiders. Number 5078 has been clamoring for a chance to get out and see the world."

"That's a shame! Well, I'm afraid I'm a terrible teacher, but I'm sure we can find someone here who will be able to give you dancing lessons."

"Hmm," said Bacon, tapping his chin. "Generally speaking, I just ignore voices until they go away, but it doesn't sound like that's working for you. Have you tried bargaining with them?"

“That’s okay. I’ll watch.” She smiled. “So… what did I miss?” She wondered vaguely how much time had passed since she’d left to go see Safren.

I wonder, is there a Mary Sue Plotblade? You could use it to make a Narrator-Ennuller-Luxsprite-Whithergeist-dragon-elf-angel-demon-fairy with eight plotblades and a poorly thought out backstory. More seriously, is Exposition unclaimed? I don’t think Kion would want it, but if my narrator who I will probably make eventually is closer to me, that would be very on-brand. 

There could be a Mary Sue Plotblade and I don't think anyone's in possession of Exposition

Nogard was unable to say anything for several seconds.

"Perfect," he finally managed.

Subversion smiled at Nogard, feeling a blush spread across her face. "Thanks." She glanced at the dancers all around them. "So, uh, did you want to...?" She offered Nogard her other hand, blush deepening.

19 hours ago, Sequence said:

"Side character??" Sequence put a hand to her chest, looking outraged. "Don't say that! You're no more of a 'side-character' than I am! I'd love to help you find some of said Plotblades sometime. Maybe that way we'll be a bit more successful." She paused. "Though I'll ensure that you are indeed the 'main character' of the adventure." She smiled and winked. 

'As for adventures, not really... I met some new people, experimented with some things on this world of mine, helped some people find Onyx, had a chat with the Brave Adventurer—dashing fellow, by the way—, and uh... Yeah, that's about it."

"I'd love to go on an adventure like that sometime!" grinning, Unintelligible took a sip of tea. "And I think you're selling yourself short. Navigating Onyx's realm is no small feat, and besides, you found time to organize this party!"

"After you? Hardly. I just want to ask you some questions about Endings."

Moni nodded, but remained on guard. "What do you want to know?"

 

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

1 hour ago, TwinStorm said:

We’ll see how the conversation goes!

Okay!

Tam? Are you okay?

Tam shrugged. "That's not what I'd been expecting . . . I had a lot of theories, but that was never one of them," she said.

I'm so sorry! I never meant to hurt you-! I would take it all back in a heartbeat if I could, please don't be angry with me-

"Shoe," she interrupted, "I'm not mad about that."

He blinked. You . . . aren't?

"Of course not!" She took his hands in her own. "I understand that accidents happen; I'm still . . . really sad and a little disturbed by it, or course, but I'm not by any means angry at you."

He let out relieved breath. Oh, thank goodness.

"I'm just . . . confused." She got onto her knees and pulled him into a hug. "Why didn't you tell me?"

He shrugged, hugging her back.

"Don't you trust me?"

Of course I trust you, Tam, the words came tumbling out, But I felt so guilty . . . and I was scared you'd be angry with me. I wanted to tell you, I swear, but it's not easy to admit to someone you love that you're responsible for their past decade of misery.

I'm sorry, but . . . I hadn't seen you in ten years, Tam. I just . . . I didn't want to lose my little sister again . . . he squeezed his eyes shut.

They sat there for a minute, then Tam sighed. "It's okay, Shoe. I forgive you."

Tears began to well up in Shoe's eyes. Thank you. That means so much to me.

She sniffled. "I love you, Shoe."

I love you too, Tam.

She stood and helped him to his feet. They laughed at each others' expressions, and Shoe tearfully hugged her again, smiling.

Aaaaaaaand be back later

That was not nearly as detailed as I wanted to make it. Oh well.

There's a bit more detail to it than that, but I just . . . I feel so guilty about it, he whispered, It was all my fault. And even now that she's back, I don't know what to say. She doesn't even know yet-

He remembered that his sister would have been perfectly able to hear what he was saying.

-except that she probably heard that whole thing! He panicked, pulling away from Beosta a little. I need to go find her!

He gave her one last tight hug. Thank you so much; you're such a kind and wonderful person and I don't know what I would do without you and I'm sorry I have to go but maybe we can continue this later-? Um- bye! He said awkwardly, letting go and sprinting towards the building.

Beosta smiled. Those were such very nice things at the end--- but they probably had nothing to do with the light feeling in her chest. No, that was because somebody understood what it was like to make a mistake. To feel the guilt. ---It was completely different, obviously. But the shock and the horror... he understood that too. 

Good luck, she thought at him as he ran off. Then she went back to the party to find something inebriating. 

She ended up with cherry cola instead, having been convinced by Livetha that it was the same thing.

[Immortal Platypus]

21 hours ago, NameIess said:

Yeah, but what does it do?

Mine? I can weave Plot around me, giving plenty of powers, the foremost of which would be called plot armor. I can also make others more susceptible to attacks (the opposite of plot armor), strengthen myself, weaken others, and more.

Quote

"No, all I found was rumors of useless Plotblades like 'Love Triangles' and 'Filler'." Unintelligible shrugged. "Still, I felt like there was something else out there. A Plotblade of real importance, just waiting to be found."

"I don't know... Love Triangles could be useful. How are they supposed to fight if they can't decide who to love? And if Filler made characters into filler characters, it would also be potentially useful." Platypus thought about the maybe (definitely not subtle) foreshadowing going on.

21 hours ago, LessName said:

Faunus perused the refreshments, humming happily to herself, quietly planning good third-wheeling situations for Subversion and Nogard. Ah, the single life. She thought with a grin, I get to annoy the people who would rather be left alone. 

ok, story time. last tuesday I was third wheeling a pair of my friends, and a friend of the girl and a friend of mine both showed up with us and it felt like I was third wheeling two couples at the same time.

20 hours ago, Sequence said:

Sequence held up one hand top stop him from speaking further if he tried. "I understand, but there will be no violence on my world, no matter what. If Perseus tries something here, he will be punished. Same goes for you. So therefore, there should be no need for conflict. Plus, Perseus already left." Sequence sighed. "A shame, really. I rather like him."

Sequence scratched her chin idly. "Depends on who you mean by Him. If you mean the Brave Adventurer, the General, or any of your other little nemeses, then yes. However, they'll abide by my rules. If you mean the Witherlord, also yes. But, any invitations will wither away in any proximity to a creature such as he, so there's nothing to worry about."

Platypus chose not to try to fight Sequence's Narration. Instead, he projected his thoughts straight to her. We'll see.

Ya know, I don't particularly care if the Brave Adventurer shows up, or the General, or any of the people you would call my nemeses. Just something I do to fill time. And knowing that He can't show up makes me feel much better. I suppose I will talk to you later.

Though it wouldn't be possible for Sequence to see, some of the more observant guests would notice that as he walked away, Platypus seemed to change. His countenance seemed darker, his mood (which normally seemed carefree) was less tolerant than normal, and his eyes lost their signature readiness, replaced by a challenge that was much more aggressive. Even his skin tone shifted, though perhaps it was a trick of the light as he stepped into shadows.

Hacob, watching from where he had been sitting was a little concerned, but it was probably fine.

We are back.

You can find all the past (and future) episodes here.

The radio coughed up some noise.

"Hello all, and welcome back to The Longest Thread- Misadventures™! As always, my name is Bacon the Bard, here to fill you in on all the plots, tangents, and absolute nonsense that you missed out on!

To begin with, we have cause for celebration! The Longest Thread recently reached a momentous milestone: 3000 pages in length! This episode is dedicated the the hundreds of Authors that have made all of this possible.

Now, onto the happenings! Our last episode ended (circa pg. 2986) with a decisive victory for our heroes against the withergeists and a decisive loss against the Brave Adventurers. We were left with the promise of several things on the horizon; a trial for the Great Wizard, several prospective Ennullers, and Beosta's as-of-yet unresolved feelings.

In this episode, we will ask deep questions. Such as: Is it right to execute murderers? and: How handsome is red hair, really? We will see a new character of mysterious import, and find out what my sidekick Lettuce the Rabbit has been up to for the past couple hundred pages. (Spoiler alert: it wasn't saving the world). And, most importantly, we will party to celebrate 3000 pages. All this and more on this week's episode of The Longest Thread!

~Theme Song plays~

---

When we last left the Buffet Crew, Shoe was coughing as a side effect of his earlier nullite injection. It being the end of the day, with no sign of his symptoms abating, we call upon the consultant to give us advice. He explains that Shoe's body exhibits an unusual affinity to the nullite, and that in order to eliminate the symptoms he will need to redirect the flows of energy inside of himself manually. Fortunately, he happens to be both an Ennuller and a licensed Ennulling instructor, so he is able to offer his assistance.

Shoe is somewhat conflicted about becoming an Ennuller due to his past, but eventually accepts the consultant's help. Beosta provides moral support throughout the process, and before long, he has successfully filtered the Nullite from his body into a central core and become officially an Ennuller sort of! More importantly, he no longer has to worry about pesky symptoms like going entirely gray and being unable to move.

The consultant gives Shoe a business card, promises to come back later for an appointment, then leaves. Shoe is slightly worried about taking Ennulling lessons, but Beosta steals his anxiety.

They meet back up with the rest of the group, who were waiting for them.

---

While Shoe is having his lesson, Cricket receives a message from his stalker announcing that 'my hunters are closing in.' Cricket is understandably concerned by this message, but after the panic wears off he decides he is tired of running and wants to stand and fight.

Shortly after Shoe returns from his lesson, the attack begins! Hunters shower the party with mordite arrows and attempt to incinerate us. (During the fight, Tam runs into Beosta's father. He demands to meet with his daughter, but Tam (at Beosta's request) refuses.) Shoe notices Beosta's distress and they have a moment together. I summon some firefighters, but the hunters murder them (and their little dogs, too) cementing them as irredeemable monsters. So I turn their clothes into snakes to try and capture them.

This is apparently enough to cause the mastermind of the whole operation to show his face. Turns out, he's a crazy Ennuller! A fight scene ensues. I get a new dog, and name him Carrot! Shoe and Beosta have another moment regarding Beosta's doubts about what to do with her life now that she's finished her CD. They are able to capture one of the hunters, who is named Xanine. The fight concludes with Ennullers (summoned by Platypus) showing up and taking the rogue Ennuller (who's name is Sangent) into custody.

---

Shoe and Beosta interrogate Xanine. He tells them that Cricket was an experiment that broke free, and that he will become a dangerous threat to the Thread if not destroyed.

At this point, Cricket shows up, and the group discusses whether or not they should kill the hunter. Shoe is strongly against the idea, but Beosta and Cricket are both conflicted. Xanine eventually riles Cricket up by gloating about an event in their past. Beosta changes her mind about sparing the man, and Cricket lashes out with his abilities, killing him.

Immediately afterwards, he regrets his actions. Shoe is horrified at the death, and disturbed by Beosta's willingness to kill the man. Beosta reassures Cricket that killing Xanine was the right thing to do, but is unable to convince Shoe. Tam takes them to a beach to try and give them a calm location to resolve their difficulties. Shoe confesses his worries to Livetha in private, asking her for advice on how best to help Beosta. After a brief conversation, and some time in thought, he finally arrives at a course of action.

Before we can learn about that course of action, however, PAGE 3000 ARRIVES! Sequence sends out invitations to absolutely everbody and we get ready to party!

But before that, what happened to everybody else?

---

Upon landing, Selppaenip is shocked to discover that ..., who has been teaching him normalcy, is actually the founder of the Brave Adventurers! Despite his history with the organization, the group is still taken into custody. Selppaenip is given crucial information regarding the situation and told to keep it secret. He then assists the Brave Adventurers in defeating the errant computer system in the teleporter room.

Meanwhile, Nogard and Gail get lost and accidentally overhears some important information regarding something that may happen at the trial regarding a secret weapon. Nogard opts not to make a fuss about this so as to avoid trouble for now, but I doubt he's forgotten! He teleports to the Brave Adventurer's main base, where he reunites with Selppaenip and learns that the great warrior is to be the Great Wizard's lawyer in the upcoming trial. How that will proceed remains to be seen.

While they are discussing preparations for the trial, Sequence's invitation arrives and they accept it.

---

Pyk continues showing Asher his cool tech and teaching her all about his world's history. He gives her a cool suit that can fit inside a dagger. Their conversation is interrupted when they receive invitations to Sequence's party, which they accept.

---

Despite his long day, morning finds Tenth sleepless. His is disturbed from his fruitful rest by Charles, his Ennuller teacher. Charles takes him to an empty room and begins to teach him the fundamentals- focusing particularly on strengthening willpower. He explains that with greater will- greater control- he will be able to overcome the corruption that stains his soul. He receives an invitation from Sequence, but refuses it in favor of training.

---

And now, for the arrival of a very important person- Faunus! What import they will have I'm not yet certain, but I know they will be important. I had a premonition in a very oracular location, after all! (We know it's conducive to such things, because Subversion was prophesying left and right!) Speaking of Subversion, she and Faunus hit it off kind of poorly at first, but quickly grow to become friends. We also see the appearance of another Narrator- Lady Bug. (I'm sure you'll be important! I just didn't have any premonitions about you! Sorry.) We as Narrators welcome Faunus to the Thread and give her the rundown on being a Narrator. (There is much changing of appearance.) Eventually, me and Lady Bug get into a show-off, which we take to Sequence's party.

---

In other news, someone who I do not remember ever meeting named Perseus the Avenger summons me and asks for my help committing genocide in order to get locked away inside a prison. Why... frankly, I'm not entirely clear on why. But apparently I helped him break out of said prison, so he came to me for help. He comes up with the idea that a Plotblade will solve all his problems, and so resolves to steal Endings from Moni, since she's a pacifist. He accepts Sequence's invitation, hoping to find Moni at the party.

---

Sasha, having been distracted for the past couple hundred pages, finally snaps back to attention when one of the crazy color-changing rabbits speaks to her. Lettuce wakes up (he was sleeping THE ENTIRE TIME) and wonders where everyone has gone. They receive an answer in the form of an invitation to Sequence's party.

---

Another new character named Kion shows up out of nowhere. He is surprised to find the Narrators completely unfazed by the terrifying beast known as a Render that he lives in fear of. He (and the Render) accept invitations to Sequence's party.

---

And now, what you've all been waiting for: the party!

Sequence hosts the party out of a cabin that she apparently built herself (without Narration- pretty impressive!) People meet and mix and mingle. Sequence is an excellent host, talking with all of the guests. And there are a lot of guests!

I begin a dance with Lady Bug. We chat back and forth about Narratorial matters, and she promises to dedicate a career in poetry to me. (I'll hold you to that!)

Perseus looks for Moni but is unable to find her (she would rather sleep than party) so gets some help from Lady Bug to portal to her exact location.

Gail has tea with Sequence.

Natsu, Quagmire, and Dewdrop appear after being gone for a while.

Bookwyrm also makes a special appearance!

Unintelligible also shows up.

Kion's Render attempts to attack him, but is thwarted by Sequence. Kion is somehow able to create a spell that mimics Narration.

Nogard appears and is carefully given a story that his mind can understand regarding the purpose behind the party. He reunites with Shoe and they briefly exchange stories about their adventures. He also asks Subversion to dance.

Selppaenip vanquishes the pineapples in the drink.

I chat with Asher about the voices in her head, and with Sasha about learning how to dance.

Beosta goes outside by herself and feels conflicted about her own character. Shoe goes outside to be with her. They have a moment together. Beosta then brings up what happened with Xanine and they debate the morality of executing murderers.

Cricket strikes up a conversation with Tam about the frantic pace of life, and about his past.

Tam and Gaioh chat about Gaioh's past.

Ista shows up and complains to Sequence about how unhelpful Onyx has been.

Subversion and Lady Bug have a private conversation that for some reason I couldn't hear. How strange.

---

And with that, we've come to the end of the episode! The party is still in full swing, so I think I'll go back and enjoy myself for a little longer before it ends. Eventually, I imagine we'll get back to the many threats our heroes will face in the next episode of The Longest Thread- Misadventures™; for now, we party!

Happy page 3000! Thank you all for listening, and have a good night.

Please direct all concerns, complaints, and/or corrections to @xinoehp512.

"What, do you want Love Triangles?" Unintelligible reached into his cloak and pulled out a locked chest. "I'll warn you that the last person who wielded it died in a war that nearly destroyed his planet that started because he couldn't decide which princess to marry." He frowned. "Also, are you darker than normal?"

"Yes, of course," said Nogard, blushing slightly in response, but smiling. He took Subversion's hands and began to lead.

"Back at my castle, of course-"

Bacon and Lady Bug suddenly became aware of a very large spider dangling from the ceiling in front of them.

<Hello,> the spider said in Spider. <I am named Number 5078. Am I to understand you will be my new owner?>

Bacon stared at the spider for several seconds. "She really sent them out to everybody, didn't she," he muttered.

Yayyyyyyy thank youuuuu 

I'm still not a good writer but I hope that was okay

Shoe and Tam talked for a few minutes more in the secluded room. About life, about things back home, and how everything was so different now. They both regretted the time that they'd lost, but agreed that they'd grown from it.

Tam sneakily tried to get Shoe to talk about Beosta, but he kept changing the subject, which she thought was absolutely adorable. She didn't tell him that, of course.

After a bit, Shoe stood. Well, we should probably head back, don't you think?

Tam nodded and stood also, offering a hand to help Cricket up.

@TwinStorm is there anything Cricket wants to say before they go back out?

"Seraphina! I've always wanted to meet a Seraphina. A pleasure! And aww, Cade. If I had any intrinsic unfulfilled desire for parental affection, that would have really hurt my feelings!"

"Oh, not much. Beosta and Shoe slew a few bad guys. Nasty pieces of work, they were- you ought to be glad you never had the misfortune to run into them! But we also picked up several new friends, so it all works out. Oh! Speaking of new friends, meet Carrot!"

A ghostly wolf bounded up to Sasha, tongue wagging.

"Yes, of course," said Nogard, blushing slightly in response, but smiling. He took Subversion's hands and began to lead.

"So," he said. "You were telling me about your family earlier?"

 

"Back at my castle, of course-"

Bacon and Lady Bug suddenly became aware of a very large spider dangling from the ceiling in front of them.

<Hello,> the spider said in Spider. <I am named Number 5078. Am I to understand you will be my new owner?>

Bacon stared at the spider for several seconds. "She really sent them out to everybody, didn't she," he muttered.

"Oh, weekly. Well, by some metric of time. It never really does flow consistently on the Thread. That's another thing about being in multiple places at once," he added. "You have to get used to the constant desynchronization. Fortunately, I'm already crazy, so it doesn't bother me so much."

Lady Bug grinned. “Hello! I’m going to call you Nummy, if that’s okay! There’s a buffet of diamonds over there.” It appeared. “I’ll come say hi once we’re finished dancing.”

Thanks!

I never know how to transition between events or feelings well. I'm learning though.

Beosta was at the bar, hunched over her soda and cultivating an air of mystery. The image was rather spoiled by Livetha being in her hair. 

@TwinStorm isn’t gonna come cuz he’s a SCUD. He can give his last words later for NOT BEING ON.

“Ah, so I’ve noticed. A day hasn’t even passed yet, but I’m fairly sure it’s been about a week since I met you guys. . .” Faunus smiled, tapping her chin in thought. “huh, that is kind of weird, now that you mention it.” She then blinked, furrowing her brow at Bacon’s off handed mention of his mental state. “Yes, fortunate indeed. As a Narrator, can I make insanity a catching disease?”

Subversion missed a step, nearly falling. "Was I? Well, there's not much to tell. I don't have any memory of my parents. For all I know, they never existed!" She laughed awkwardly, feeling an odd pang of sadness for some reason. "What about you?"

"If you want to, sure! It would certainly make things interesting."

Nogard caught Subversion, keeping her on her feet. "Sorry," he said automatically, then blinked. "My parents? They're... passed away."

"Good! One thing though. Whatever you do," warned Bacon, "don't feed him amethyst."
