Huh. Interesting . . .

So is he Template or Owen now?

I'd assume Template, but . . . idk.

Owen was the name for the identity they were given. It would still work to refer to them, especially since they aren’t detail-less, but they had been made to forget the name Template and have now remembered. 
Template continues to look out the window, but speaks. “I have a name. This is interesting. Why did I not know it before?”

Oh, okay!

Tam was a bit confused about the reason why this was happening.

Outside, where the man had landed, a small group of people gathered around, muttering about the poor man and what the heck the eldrich gate from beyond was. 

The planar gate dissipates. "Are the lot of you deaf?" Sylas says, his face still in the ground.

Asher paused. no thats a lie. It has to be. Because,.. i killed them. Years ago. With mordite. So they cant be brought back. Who the hell even are you?

"I can fix them. They will be brought back. And you won't have to worry about them remebering that You were the one who killed them." The voice hisses. "With me, you will be great. And without me, you are Nothing."

The songbird hopped along the ground towards him, eyes far too piercing for a simple bird. “That is a worthy fear. You seek the Dreamsmith?”

The Emperor stares intently at the bird. "Yes...." he hesitantly says. "Who are you?"

"So..." It seems annoyed. "You let your pain eat at you, leaving them to ruin you. The choice is yours, Asher. You either let the people live, or your sins will." It spits.

"You can't trust anybody!" It hisses. "If you want help, seek it from me. I only wish to help. For there is rumor that the Emperor seeks to destroy all of you!" It seems angry at your 'Ignorance' now.

Shoe stood and stuck out his hand for a handshake, grinning.

 

Nethek shook his hand eagerly. "I'm glad she found somebody. Where are you from?" 

"He talks in your head, by the way," Beosta said. 

Nethek found this strange, but decided he'd ask about everything later. Livetha connected them.

Rebus tried to swear, but beeped instead. Why did everything he tried to do get stopped! Pond had even been really cool even without it going wrong.

Maybe. The word wrote itself in the air next to the small figure. I guess that depends on what she's looking for specifically. There's a broad answer, and then there are some much more specific answers. Or suggestions, I suppose. It probably varies between- It paused, then floated into a sitting position atop Bacon's head.

Well, we'll see.

"Should it be measured in the emotion it evokes? Or should it be measured in the amount of said emotion it evokes? Or should it be measured by something else entirely?"

"Do talk. I can tell you have something to say."

Lady Bug chuckled darkly and vanished, leaving a wisp of smoke behind.

It's good to meet you, Nethek! Shoe said with uncharacteristic enthusiasm. I'm not . . . from around here, I guess.

I have not named that planet, but how aware is Nethek of other planets and such?

Sylas laughs at the remark and finally gets up, his normally formal appearance disheveled due to his button up shirt being untucked and scarlet vest unbuttoned from his fall. The vials in his bandolier are also shattered. "Oh, curse the Emperor!" He exclaims looking down at his shattered spectacles.

@Ookla the Inquisitive

There is a voice that appears in Rebus' head. The voice is sickly sounding, ghostly even. The voice hurts to listen to. "Rebus."  It says slowly. "The Emperor seeks to destroy all of you. You need my help." It's voice, like acid dripping down into your ears.

 

@Ookla the Dragonslayer

There is a voice that appears in Sain's head. The voice seeps into your head corroding like a venom. The voice hurts to listen to. "Sain."  It says slowly. "The Emperor seeks to destroy all of you. You need my help." It's voice, like acid dripping down into your ears.

Tam was a bit confused about the reason why this was happening.

Template continues looking out the window, because Tam is still invisible. “Why did I not know my name before, do you think?” they ask nobody in particular.

Rebus begins to laugh. “Finally… What can you do for me, and what do you want in return? I’ve been needing an edge, and something to do. I’ve got antimatter…”

Sequence winced, and the wound seemed to resist. It did slow down, though the oozing and bubbling seemed to try to escape and wither away at all it touched, the power included. It was nonetheless effective for the moment.

Interesting, said the doctor. It is of chaotic darkness, certainly. You are familiar with withergeist-corruption injuries, I believe?

"Lock me up," said Bacon glumly. "For goodness knows how long..."

Not often, admitted the Ennuller. Are you volunteering your services?

 

The traveler blinks. “That’s all?”

Subversion nodded. “Indeed! With all these new Enullers running around, I figured I should see what getting Enulled feels like.”

"Your antimatter is of no use to me." The voice hisses, the words burn in your head. "I ask for your faith in my abilities." It laughs, nastily sounding like toxic waste. "And... Your devotion in what I myself seek."

“I am not responsible for your dreams.” Omen the bird responded. “Now, before you begin your trial I must make sure you understand some rules. While you are in the trial, I will allow no communication with the outside world. If you attempt to bypass this, you will fail and I will send you away. Do you understand this?”

“Very well.” The bird, the river, and the entire forest dissolve into mist around the Emperor. The ground beneath his feet trembles, then dissolves as well, dropping him into darkness.

Rebus doesn’t want that, so he stalls. “Antimatter is always useful! Except apparently for alarming Narrators, so probably it’s useless against anything on their tier level. Do you want a cough drop? You sound like you need one, Faust. Can I call you that?” Then he realizes a loophole. “You ask for my faith in your abilities? If that’s your condition, I accept! If there’s other things, I would like full disclosure and no unrevealed tricks. Legal battle with exact words is fine, but we can’t say there were secret conditions or break the deal. And I’d like to actually know what you’re offering, and what this thing you seek is.” @Ookla the Cookie Collector

Template. Template sends back. I think I did something. Am I supposed to be able to talk like this?
