AHAHAHHAHA HALY YOU’VE GOT ME COUGHING SO HARD

Sasha laughed. “Whatever works, I guess.”

Blue huffed. "I accept only the finest of venison, peasant."

The carrots now lacked any Blue or Green.

“I have chicken nuggets,” she offered.

"What really matters to someone when they're lied to is the offense by the real person that has lied to them. Not the words."

Subversion clenched her fists. "You know what I mean. Sure, words are important. But they don't matter."

Lady Bug tilted her head. “Then why do we exist? If we exist, our words must matter enough for somebody to create us. We must matter somehow.”

Tell me, Tenth. What do you believe yourself capable of?

The hunters reacted quickly, the one that Cricket had lunged for catching his hand while the other two fanned out to come at him from either side. "There's no Narrator here to stop us this time."

"Sure, but you don't want to stand inside it while it's collapsing, do you? Get out here!"

"What really matters to someone when they're lied to is the offense by the real person that has lied to them. Not the words."

Subversion clenched her fists. "You know what I mean. Sure, words are important. But they don't matter."

"Do I know what you mean?" Bacon shook his head. "I am but a simple Narrator. These contradictions are beyond me. Are words important, or do they not matter?" He spun his pen on his finger. "If they don't, what does?"

The Render is cut in half by the powerful sword, as the components that make up its body are scattered to the winds. It looks defeated, but where a single grain of sand lands, the ground springs up and reforms it, back as a gorilla-shaped rocky powerhouse. “You are in my way. Begone, and leave your blade, or you will die.” 

The Espeon nodded and ran off through the 3rd wall, (stage right), looking for refreshments.

It found some juice box and dog treats to snack on. However, it didn't leave behind its sword.

Quote

an explanation: the 4 walls are the area outlining the stage, the 4th wall separates the fictional world of the play from the audience, the 1st wall separates the background from behind the stage, the 2nd and 3rd walls are stage right and stage left respectively.

The Render almost chases it, but determines finding Kion would be a better use of its time. Stretching itself as thin as possible, it forms wings out of dirt and takes off glide-jumping. 
 

The beginning of a Narrator sits in a library, surrounded by a veritable fortress of books on several tables put together. Many of them are related - encyclopedias of the Thread, a transcript of the Bacon podcast, books on writing, and the like. Some are not - Wind and Truth, a book about string theory, blueprints for a nonfunctional pneumatic ornithopter, and other strange and interesting things. The not-yet Narrator muses to themself. “Is this even how narrators work? I need a name; I wonder if there are any other Narrators named Rebus. I could be a girl, honestly - my Author needs to do that more. And what can I actually do? Where should this library even be?” 
@Ookla the Bacon, I hear you have lore (and Lore, supposedly). Anything I should know?

Know about what? Being a Narrator?

Narrators are essentially all-powerful beings of chaotic light. Only other fundamental forces can withstand them.

"Hello!" said Bacon. "Do you have a name?"

“Nope! I’m still mostly an idea. Although Rebus sounds good…” 

I guess there isn’t too much of that to explain. I’m not sure what information I thought there would be; I’ve been reading this thread for long enough I should know most of the mechanics.

"And we will stop them." Asher watched as he moved about.  "How easy is it to find a mystic?" 

"There aren't many... and most of them are in the building. That will not be how we find a Mystic." He looked weariedly at the blue-purple powder, then took a handful, and swallowed it.

I finally pegged a name for the dragonblood stuff! "Adari" (It means reality breaker in various languages that I've forgotten)

Lady Bug tilted her head. “Then why do we exist? If we exist, our words must matter enough for somebody to create us. We must matter somehow.”

Blue sniffed. "They will suffice." He coughed, gagged, and threw up two small worm things, which he promptly ate again.

 I... I don't know. I've... I've never had to think about what to do. It was always following directions.

Asher looked a but panicked. "What was that you just took?!" sheesh you sound like you think he just ate poison. Connect dots moron. That's probably going to make him a mystic person.

Blue ate these as well. "I must find where Jilu went. I believe she is one of the Lords of Colour."

And with that, he disappeared.

@Ookla the nostealnamepls

Out of the Blue, a Blue rabbit appeared in front of Jilu.

@OOKLA the strange

[It will. but you aren't going to like the next step. There is one way to make yourself much stronger with their powers... but it is unpleasant.]

Pyk paused for a moment, created a faint purple cloud, and then looked at Asher. "I need you to look over my body while the power recuperates."

He hesitantly took his sword, and he stabbed himself in the chest with it. He didn't bleed.

“Hopefully. It went quite fast, earlier. I didn’t know Renders could fly.” Kion reshapes the dashing hat he’d conjured at the party into a more practical flat brim by tearing a few stitches apart. 

“Well, isn’t that just wonderful.” Faunus said, the sarcasm practically dripping from her voice. She then trudged along silently for a while, before she paused, and pointed at something in the distance. There so happened to be a train station, with the train boarding. “What do you think?”

“I know, I was being stupid. I can’t rewrite the past enough to fix it, so let’s pay attention to what’s going on now.” When they reach the train, Kion shrugs. “If the train is going the right way, we’ll be safe for longer, and if it is going the wrong way, it really doesn’t change anything about our situation. So I say we get on.”

That's unexpected and shocking. I almost died when I read that.

"watch your body?" As he stabbed himself Asher almost screamed "PYK?!" Asher  grabbed his body and set it down. "Silver what?! Please explain hes not bleeding and i think im panicking. That's what this emotion is tight? Is he dead?!" sounds like you care about this guy. because he's my friend. and he is dead? Not dead? Half alive? Silver ?!

lol. This is what happened to Dint canonically, and no one knew he had turned into a Mystic.

[He is... sort of dead. The philosophers could never agree on what happens when a Mystic dies. It... it's complicated. Basically, he leaves behind an imprint of himself of Mystic power. The power, sensing his absence, takes control of his body and grows significantly in aptitude.]

Pyk felt the pain of the blade, and everything blacked out.

Slowly, he regained his "sight", but he found it incredibly difficult to move. Incredibly difficult, as if his body had forgotten how to do it.

Asher sat down next to where they sat him down at. "So i just make sure nothing happens." They waved a hand infront of his face. "Can he see me?" Asher was really concerned. "I can actually feel stuff now and it's trippy" They said to themselves this time. 

Lemme know if you need anything for pyks thing er whatever that's happening rn.

well... maybe... a monster attacks...

[Yes, he can. He just needs to regain the ability to move, as he will be using the Casts to move instead of his muscles.]

From the monitor, a Husk (that's what I call them right now) saw their locked-up research center. It turned its head curiously, and a wave of Strands pulsed towards it. The wall groaned under the force of the Strands.

The adventurer frowned. "All it will bind you to do is speak truthfully and not cause a disruption to the court proceedings. Do you... want a different pen to sign it with?"

Platypus pulled out a separate pen. "I'll sign with this one, if you don't mind." He signed the paper with his other, normal pen.

I skipped like 5 pages so if I missed anything important let me know.

This will be interesting. Im on my iPad now so i type faster for this hehehehe

asher stood up. Instinctively getting their knife ready and heating up their hands to be able to quickly use fire. “Silver i need any info on this creature and any weakness or something” they positioned themselves in from of pyk. “No one else will die on my watch.”
