The ground was made of a fine sand.

"What about?" asked Bacon warily. "It had better not be relationship advice. That would not go well."

Charles waved a hand. Why can you not control it?

Tenth thought for a moment.  Well, the explanation I would jump to is that I don’t have enough of it inside of me. But with this other thing, these Strands, I think those may be counteracting the Adari, preventing me from using it.

The swarm let out a monstrous scream of agony as it burned, insects falling to the ground in charred clumps.

Eventually it limped away, its size much reduced. 

"Come on," said Bacon. "Let's catch up to the others."

So it is a living thing, then.

"That's good," said Bacon, "because time is up."

The Ennuller appeared as he finished saying the words.

Silent energy, perhaps.

 

"Do you remember your purpose?" asked Bacon, jogging up to the pair.

Cricket ignored it. "I'll be back in a minute." he said, teleporting away. He appeared next to the sandcastle, kneeling there. "Tam." he said softly. "I'm so sorry. Do you need anything?"

@Ookla the Inconclusive

I had a crazy idea for Cricket's story and I'm so excited about it, though it'll require a lot of prep.

I love it when that happens

She ducked back inside.

"No. I'll be fine. And . . . you don't need to apologize. It wasn't really you. Everything's just kind of been . . . stacking up."

"Tam. Listen, I know what happened is awful, but it'll never happen again. No matter what, me and Shoe and Beosta, we'll keep you safe. It doesn't matter what happens, you're one of us, and I'll always, always fight to protect you."

“Lady Bug! Hello!” 

“Indeed! Magician by trade.” She threw confetti into the air. 

“We do,” Lady Bug informed him. “Speedy speedy!”

Pyk frowned. “Well, we are going to run into a very dangerous beast. I believe you could help us.”

A note fluttered down to Lady Bug. Don’t use your Narration to kill the beast, please.

@OOKLA the strange

A roar pierced the air, and a pack of dozens of the beast that you saw and killed earlier poured down a nearby hill from under the cover of various vines.

Dint gave a grin. “Let’s charge in!” He raised a hand, and an unseen beam passed through a number of them, leaving gaping holes. One of them kept at the party, black Strands darting towards everyone in the party.

A soft sniffle came from the little castle.

"Thanks," she whispered from inside.

Asher jumped forward swiping fire at the Strands. after that they charged forward.

The Strands disappeared, and a number of the beasts were blasted.

Dint talked silently with Pyk, and the two of them started sending more beams into the crowd of monsters.

So…. Do any of you know, like, if gravity is applied on something that time is slowed down on, since the gravity isn’t slowed down, would the effect of this gravity increase?

Asher flipped onto the back of the first one they came across. They stabbed it and drug the knife through the back as they used the gravity pulling her to the ground.

good question... I dunno.

What's going on? Shoe asked. He had not been paying attention.

She poked her head out of the castle.

"Did you just use Narration as an expletive?"

“He’s being boring.” Beosta frowned and twisted her fingers. “…Shoe, Gaioh’s gonna be okay, right?”

He turned red. “It’s… yeah. But— ten years?”

. . . Hmm.

Here's my best, extremely theoretical guess:

No.

Depending on the strength of the gravity, it might actually speed them back up.

Please don't make me explain it. It hurt my brain to think about it 

Edit: Scratch that, it's just a straight-up no.

She skittered back into the basement and curled up into a little ball.

". . . No. I just need a minute."

"Thank you though."

Bat thought that Tam was much more deserving of it than Shoe was, personally. 

There. That’s my workaround. It’s ‘not canon’.

She hugged him back.

What I would say is that because g (gravitational force) is a constant, no.

Bat played with sand. “Tam? I’m sorry about what I did.”
