LessName Posted November 28, 2024 Posted November 28, 2024 Just now, Ookla the Inquisitive said: “I still mean that Narrators in general feel like they’re everywhere - that they appear and do things at every moment. The frivolous ones, especially; they don’t even use their incredible magic to help others! No, they use it make sandwich conga lines and turn people’s feet to fish.” Kion calms himself down. “How do you do this, turning words around so well?” “Look, I only just learned about my Narration, so I haven’t gotten the chance to save any homeless people, unless you include yourself.” Faunus grinned, “I’m a woman, that’s how, it’s a special talent. Just like men like to smash things, women twist words.” 5 minutes ago, Ookla the Arbiter said: A Hacob appeared. "Well, who would we help? Have you seen any homeless people, any starving people, any suffering people? Who are you to say that we haven't already helped them!" “You’re not being helpful, Hacob, please leave.” Faunus said softly. 1 minute ago, Ookla the Inquisitive said: “I know you do help people, but that makes me feel almost worse. I shouldn’t, but the Narrators being able to help everyone, then spending their magic on whatever they want? That’s contrary to everything I know. Where I’m from, you don’t use magic frivolously. Period. It literally hastens your death and potentially that of others. So to see Narrators doing whatever they want? It makes me feel that they’re incredibly irresponsible and treat lives as cheap. That they also legitimately have reason to be the way they are, and do create benefit for society? That makes me feel worse - jealous, useless, and judgmental all at once.” “From what I’ve gathered, Kion, it’s not magic, it’s the building of a story. But I can understand how frustrating this must be for you, and I’m sorry if I’ve seemed frivolous to you, I’m still learning.” She sighed softly, running a hand through her long hair.

Subversion shrugged, not looking at Lady Bug. "That's the question, isn't it?" "I... suppose." Lady Bug frowned again, looking down at her suit. 6 minutes ago, Ookla the Arbiter said: Then they weren't. "I'm Hacob!" "...who?" 6 minutes ago, Ookla the Inconclusive said: Shoe didn't really care. He used his battle-ax to break down the nearest one and burst into the house. TLT is the best you guys I love how stuff like this can just HAPPEN Hidel stood up from the table, as did... Beosta... But her eyes were green, and she looked both confused and panicked. She wore a dress that matched her eyes perfectly. "What are you doing here?" Hidel seethed, picking up a very large knife from the table. "Hidel! Hidel, what are you doing?" stall for a post there's a couple more things between them that need to be said

"What's going on?" 1

I just - I don’t know. I’ve just been essentially replaced by people who would be incredibly irresponsible if their magic - their words - worked the same way as mine, and I haven’t really had time to process it, so I’m not taking it great. Talking is helping, though. This would have gone much worse if I hadn’t been able to talk about it.”

Hacob flinched, though it was almost unnoticeable. She was right. But... No, she was right. He'd go find something else to do. All the plots had the people that were important, and didn't need him though. No matter. He would not be the cause of what had happened in the past to him happening to anyone else.

Her intention was to give Kion some space, to process and think, but the argument was also overwhelming for her. 2 minutes ago, Ookla the nostealnamepls said: "I'm afraid we do treat lives as cheap, because they are cheap.

Wriulin had always been quick with an answer, quick to assure him and his fellow Testers that they had purpose. That they were working for the good of the world. But... He had never even known what that... good... was. What was the point of those suits he had endlessly tested? He looked at his hands. What was the difference he had made? How had his testing changed lives? Heyheyhey! Must I tell you of Hasratha? And Wriulin, the Ruler of the Hasrathans. And Drin. These were even before the blue-purple fog! The walls around him rippled as he introspected, reflecting his thoughts back at him like the greatest whiteboard ever invented. 1 hour ago, Ookla the nostealnamepls said: The hunter grunted, then looked down in shock as veins of darkness spread across his body. "Wha-what is this?" The veins spread across his entire body, the man's mouth opening in a Silent scream as the vines wrapped him tighter and tighter. In a few moments he was entirely gone, leaving behind no trace of his existence The other two hunters stepped back, horrified expressions on their faces. "That may be true, but this temple isn't just going to collapse." Moni summoned the rusted dagger of Endings into her hand, then walked to the entrance of the temple with a somber air. She knelt down before the entrance, then rammed the dagger down into the stone. Despite its frail appearance, the dagger slid smoothly into the stone and imbedded itself hilt-deep. Moni stood, then walked back towards Perseus. Cracks spread out from the dagger behind her, moving along the ground and climbing up the walls of the temple. In moments the beautiful statues that had lined the walls were dust, and seconds later the walls had followed them. The massive temple collapsed without a sound, and soon it was nothing more than a cloud of dust. "There." Moni said, dismissing her Plotblade and summoning it back to her side. "It's done." "Maybe in some way we matter. But not in any of the important ways." "I don't know!" Subversion snapped, "I thought like you did, before I met Nogard. I thought that the story mattered, and since I was part of it, I mattered too. But now... I don't know, it just doesn't seem like enough anymore. I don't know why." "Hm," said Bacon. "I too, hate it when I have emotions that I don't understand. Emotions can be such troublesome things sometimes." 42 minutes ago, Ookla the nostealnamepls said: The Great Wizard hung in silence for a time. "...Maybe that is what I deserve." "Well, how am I suppose to defend you if you don't want to be defended?" asked Selppaenip desperately. 28 minutes ago, Ookla the nostealnamepls said: "I'll go ask if that would be alright."
