"Of course! Tell me, were you born with Narrators powers or did you gain them over time?"

"I was born with Narrator powers, although I wasn't a full Narrator until I proved my worthiness for the role."

Bat was just watching and playing with the sand and feeling generally awkward. 

Gaioh's getting some kind of surgery? Or something? @Ookla the nostealnamepls I think 

Yeah, he's getting surgery. Having his soul stitched to his body a bit better.

"Interesting. And how did you do that, exactly?"

Bat opened his mouth, closed it, and turned back to his sand. He was newly aware of Shoe's presence. 

Well . . . thanks for trying anyway, Shoe said to Beosta.

When does the surgery end?

She nodded. "Yeah. I'm... sorry. I'm not good with emotion." 

Bat's eyes widened and he stood up. "Narration. Where did Gaioh go?"

"Interesting. And how did you do that, exactly?"

"Oh, I killed the other candidate for full Narratorhood." Subversion summoned a notebook and pencil. "Say, are you a Narrator?"

Just now, oOklA thE shInyYyy said:

It could be done by now, if someone were to go check on him.

[TwinStorm He/Him]

Just now, Ookla the nostealnamepls said:

Just now, Ookla the Irreplaceable said:

"My master granted me the powers of a Narrator, though I am not bound to the Thread."

"Oh, so he's given you Narrator powers while you're here? That's nice of him. Who is your master by the way?"

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

Just now, oOklA thE shInyYyy said:

It's okay. You did better than I did, I guess.

Tam laughed for a moment, wherever she was.

[TwinStorm He/Him]

"She is a multiversal scholar, who specializes in forms of power in different universes. She sends me to investigate."

Gotcha.

Tam laughed for a moment, wherever she was.

She shrugged. "Well, she still left." 

"I think he went with the soul doctor." She smirked. "Lost your charge, huh? Wow, you're really good at this." 

Bat kicked over his sandcastle and stalked into the forest.

"Interesting. So what does she want to know about Narrators? And is she open to visitors?"

[TwinStorm He/Him]

Tam... I know you're mad at me, and to tell you the truth, I'm mad at myself too. If all goes well, hopefully I can either find a way to train with you guys, or at least accelerate it, so that I can get back to you in a couple of weeks. Stay safe,   and  don't do anything too stupid. If anything keeps me from getting back, I'll end them, Enuller or no. When I return, let's just say I owe you a favor and an apology. Cricket sent, rubbing his eyes. This was harder than he thought.

Beosta silently snickered at Bat's reaction. 

"Thanks." She leaned on his shoulder. "I do kind of want to check on Gaioh, though. I... I need to talk to him." 

It's not urgent. He's not going to die. He's not going to die.

@Ookla the Inconclusive

Tam appeared in the jungle about a mile from the beach, then made a cozy little hammock for herself to rest on.

She sighed when she got his message. 

Thanks . . . but Cricket, don't kill anyone. Please.

And sorry about earlier- it's been kind of an emotional day for me.

She Narrated a more permanent link into place, so it would be easier to talk back and forth.

What about?

5 minutes ago, oOklA thE shInyYyy said:

He'll be fine.

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

He'll be fine.

"I don't know. I just... I need to talk to him. I killed him, brought him back, and then traveled with him for a long time, and I know nothing about him! All I gave him as some kind of half apology. And that was it. I need to talk to him."

"What if he's not fine? What if he's not??"

Augh I wanna put in Bat's thoughts so bad AUGH 

Bat stopped close to the beach and stared at the ground in front of him. His pulse was far higher than normal. 

"Idiot," he whispered, then repeated it louder. "Idiot, idiot, idiot!" 

Now his knuckles hurt from where he'd punched the tree. "Quisling," he swore. "Son of an ever-living quisling." 

He sat against a tree and put his head in his hands. 

ur welcome to ignore this if you want. I legit don't care if he interacts rn

Hmm. I guess that makes sense. And he will be fine; relax. He gave her a side hug and looked out at the ocean.

Meh. Maybe.

There was a low growling noise from behind him.

"He better be," she whispered.

What if Gaioh died for good?

Then... she'd be back to square one, right? 

Unless his soul did the golden sphere thing again. 

 

Bat heaved himself to his feet and found a tree branch. Well, he broke it off a tree.

A huge black panther came slinking out of the trees, teeth bared as it eyed Bat hungrily.

Bat's crow squawked wildly.

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. 

And so it comes back to this invader, Charles mused. Which you know nothing of.

4 hours ago, Ookla the Dragonslayer said:

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?

Since that question makes no sense within the rules of the normal universe, its exact answer depends on the rules of the fictional universe. Since TLT has no rules... well, guess you're out of luck.

(Just do whatever you want XD)

He walked through a portal, giving her one last look as he left. He arrived where the Enuller was.

@Ookla the Bacon

You are ready? the Ennuller asked simply.

1 hour ago, Ookla the nostealnamepls said:

"Finding the answer!"

"Relationship advice? Don't be ridiculous." The traveler looks at the sand with a quizzical expression. Then understanding dawns, and she smacks her forehead. "Oh, right. I need to go to sleep." She lies down on the soft sand and closes her eyes. "No, I'm just going to talk to him... about... Nogard's... past." She yawns, drifting peacefully into sleep.

She awoke in a empty white room.

"Why are you here?" a voice said.

1 hour ago, Ookla the Inconclusive said:

"Finding the answer to what?"

She sighed.

"Well then."

1 hour ago, oOklA thE shInyYyy said:

"You still have Shoe," Beosta tried. 

Lady Bug stared. "That's.... bad." 

Bacon groaned. "I was really hoping I wouldn't have to go back to Onyx's castle..."

Reluctantly, he lay down and fell asleep besides the neo-Subversion.

Ivisyre searched Sequence's gaze. They took a long, shaky bow, and turned around, taking a few hobbling, limping steps away from the throne. Then, they vanished into black mist.

In a black mist, a hooded figure waited. Perhaps the one he waited for would appear. Perhaps they would not. @Ookla the Inarticulate

A huge black panther came slinking out of the trees, teeth bared as it eyed Bat hungrily.

Bat's crow squawked wildly.

She shrugged. "Ask the woman who sold it to me."

Bat stared at the panther for a minute. It must have been the hopelessness of the situation or his current state of trying to decide between two evils, because even though he could have started screaming senselessly or curled up and cried, he laughed. 

It started as almost an escaped snort, but quickly devolved into near hysterics. He had to lean against a tree to stay upright. 

And then he was done laughing. He broke the branch in half and threw both halves at the panther as hard as he could. "You think you're so smart, don't you? You think those claws and that fur mean something. Huh? You think you're so special. Well, you're not. You're not. NOBODY CARES about you. Any one of those Narrators could snuff you out like a light."

He straightened and looked it in the eye. You know what? Do your worst. They probably expected me to die out here anyway. You'll be doing them a favor, really.

"Maybe me too."

Lady Bug did the same thing, regretting the choice of a suit.

"What are we- are we just-?" She sighed.

"Alrighty then."

So she laid next to the other two and fell asleep also, trusting that this was relevant somehow.

The two awoke next to Bacon and the person-who-was-not-quite-Subversion in a white room with no windows or doors.

The last echoes of the question faded away.
