There was a whole plotline involving a shard of the Plotblade of Unity that I honestly remember very little of...so yes, probably, but I also don't have enough background knowledge for that to be significant.

Well Ista kinda maybe fought the Destroyer, and she may or may not be strengthened by nearby emotions (and the destroyer tried to do the same to her soul that is being done to yours, which made her strengthened by the Destroyer’s presence, as well as allow her to manipulate it) so the anger entered her and is still inside of her.

But it’s fine! Maybe.

Ista is now immeasurably powerful, tho. (Ya know, immeasurably if ya aren’t counting Narrators or Ennulers and their like.)

She nodded. “As I said, all are welcome here. But be warned. The peace of this world only exists as long as I can enforce it, and while I am indeed powerful, I most certainly have limits. I will not have this world become a stronghold, as I cannot allow it to become a place of war. You are free to bring those who seek peace here, but don’t bring conflict. Please.”

Pyk nodded. “I understand. This is a fine point.”

it don’t really matter (I may or may not be planning the fall of his society [not to Tenth, tho])

The threads of anger quivered, and a single voice spoke.

You will become me, it said.

The anger flowed forth in a flood, pulling him into line with the other souls.

The woman shrugged. Perhaps you would have been better served by a singular arrival point, then.

He had changed colors to match Not Franklin.

Charles held up a hand. I think we will leave this here for today. You have worked hard. But you have far to go.

Ahhh I’m on mobile so it’s difficult for me to do the dialogue

Tenth nodded, and looked around.  What next?

Fair. Bored, humiliated Bea is a difficult person to reason with  

Bat nodded and glanced in Gaioh's direction. 

I don't have much of a say in that! 

Bea's still relearning that actions have consequences... pushing all her mature qualities out of her brain because the culmination of her adult personality, in her eyes, was murder... was not a good way to cope. But she'll figure it out. I believe in her. 

“You’re shy,” Sasha observed.

"I shall say my farewells and proceed to there!"

Selppaenip said goodbye to Sequence and then departed.

Selppaenip appeared in front of a massive iron door, guarded by a dozen well-armed adventurers.

"Maybe I should try it out, then," Nogard joked. "Do you think the wizard would be up to do it again?"

"Oh, he's dead. He was an evil wizard, as I said. Or, well, he was a sort-of evil wizard." Subversion shrugged. "Besides, you don't need it. You're actually a good person."

10 hours ago, Sequence said:

Sequence lied back down as well, rubbing her eyes with her hands as her laughter gradually slowed down. “Pride? Don’t go making up words now!”

Unintelligible snorted. "I'm not completely without ego. Although to be honest, falling over is probably healthier for my pride than continuing to dance."

Perseus accepted the blade, shivering knowing the power he held. "This is it. Endings. I will bear it well, Moni. I will warn you. The path we must take is unlike any you've sought before. Its peril is beyond any other. I seek to cleanse Ragnorok, a hell. That means driving out every last demon, avenging every last suffering Skavi. Will you see this through?"  

Moni folded her arms. "I'll go with you, but I'm doing so to make sure you don't go too far. If there's a way to save the Skavi and make certain that the demons can't hurt anyone else that doesn't involve killing them, then we'll do that instead. Killing for vengeance is not something I'm going to be a part of."

"Alrighty then. As you request."

Bacon played a mournful tune on a flute, and Asher felt a wall spring up around her memories.

"I suppose it's a spider horse, then."

That's hardly unusual, the woman pointed out. People arrived in arbitrary locations all over. One could hardly have been expected to catch them all.

Speaking of which, an Ennuller would probably have been sent along with that Nullite reimbursement to audit their operation.

Tenth was maybe erasing the sphere, depending on his determination levels.

"Maybe I should try it out, then," Nogard joked. "Do you think the wizard would be up to do it again?"

As the souls began to flood into him, he felt their anger. It welcomed him in, inviting.

destroy destroy destroy   they will pay   you will join us   we will take our vengeance 

Rather bizarrely, he used green paint.

¨Bacon, spiders are not ten feet tall and neither are horses, usually.¨

Salem said, rolling her eyes.

“Sometimes. Not usually. Especially not with so many Narrators around.”

“It is crowded,” Sasha admitted.

He half- laughed, eyeing Lady Big, who was doing innocent magic tricks nearby. “Crowded. Yeah.”

Sasha wandered away. She eventually found herself outside the establishment, sitting on the ground against the wall. 
The quiet was almost as suffocating as the crowd and somehow made her feel smaller.

Cricket closed his eyes. She sounded so earnest, so pleading... No. He would not, could not let Tam get hurt. "I'm sorry." he whispered, a final time, before stepping through the portal and closing it behind him.

He appeared in an old glade. It was random, but he needed time to think. Tam was so... No. He couldn't afford to think about Tam. That part of his life was over. He had no real plan how to fight back, but he had an idea. A desperate idea. He sighed, calling out an old name. "Bacon the Bard! Bacon the Bard! Bacon the Bard!" It was time to go to war.

@xinoehp512

Time to go to war lol

Tam growled, her Narration reappearing.

She reached out to Cricket telepathically.

You won't let me help, but you'll summon Bacon?! Really?!

“It stinks.” Sequence wrinkled her nose. “It also might dissolve living tissue.” She examined the floor, trying to find more.

theres enough that it’d probably be bothersome to him, but maybe whether or not it’s near enough to cause harm should be up to glass?

huh

oh

Probably not, no.

Gail noticed her and wondered if she should go say hi. She wrestled with that question for several minutes before she decided she should and sat down next to her. “Hi. Can I join you?”

Sasha nodded her agreement. “Yeah. They’re not… scary  for me, per se, but… they remind me of things that make me sad. So. I getcha.”
