Lady Bug appeared out of nowhere. “Welcome to the Thread! I’m Lady Bug, poet extraordinaire! Any tense you wish is fine— though past is the universally accepted standard. What’s this about elephants?”

Hacob appeared. "Yo, Pancakes! I remember your Author. So what should an elephant gentleman never do?"

1 hour ago, Ookla the Inarticulate said:

Hi Szeth!  Long time no see!

Unfortunately, there was nobody who knows.

"I see. As for the elephant thing, I was speaking at an elephant farmers' symposium before I got, uh... shifted. Shame - I had a good run in that story."

"Oh, and what's this about an Author?" he hastily added.

"Fair enough. So, um... where am I?"

“I’m not impatient,” he insisted. “Just… standing in one place not doing anything or hearing anything. Are we having a silent contest?”

Ah, that's true. I forget you can't hear them.

Cricket nodded. Just stay safe, Tam, and keep the others safe. If you're even in danger, let me know.

Alright, I will. You too.

"There's a conversation happening?" Bat frowned. "That... makes a lot more sense than everyone sitting around and not doing anything, productive or otherwise.

Sylas has given up trying to understand anything. He's literally having a mental breakdown and he's not able to emotionally function. "This is what I bloody get for becoming a planar mercenary!!!!" He yells into the open sky, yet it bounces off of the temple and echoes back to him as if mockingly.

He curls up into a ball and starts to cry, hoping he's alone and that nobody sees.

"You okay?" A voice asked from a nearby tree.

She laughed quietly.

No, they've been having a staring contest for the past half hour, she said jokingly.

They did? I don't remember that.

Template nods. You’re right - I must have imagined it. What were we talking about, then?

“I knew you were pulling my leg,” he joked. “Staring contests make more sense.”

She grinned. Was that sarcasm? From you?

She tapped him lightly on the head. Are you feeling okay? she said, laughing quietly.

Good.

Fael smiled slightly. Thanks... Tam.

was it... a very certain book?

A small weak voice came back. I... I am Prisoner. Where am I? What have I done? the voice came back wildly.

You are in a safe place, said the doctor in a soothing voice. What do you remember?

22 hours ago, Ookla the Inconclusive said:

Mm, understandable.

Well, I already know your name, Bacon. As for mine . . . I'm not sure. I'm still trying to figure out how this all works. For now, I guess you can call me . . . um . . . 

She struggled to think of a good name.

Of course.

"Sandy?" suggested Bacon.

The traveler turns to glare at Tam. "Why are you poking me?"

The man runs back, armor of the Imperial army taking shape from his indistinct form as he went. He shouted the Emperor's words to the soldiers around him, soldiers around him gaining detail and form as well. Soon, the Emperor saw his army clearly, as if taken from his memories. The other army remained indistinct, however. Shadowy shapes ripped holes in his army, and one punched through the lines only a dozen feet away from the Emperor.

Subversion narrowed her eyes. "What restrictions would those be?"

Limits on how and when you can use your Narration, mostly.

A decent amount  

 

The doctor frowned. Hmm. That's not good. The corruption has spread into the core.

The voice whimpered, went silent, and spoke. Death, destruction. A plan. He has bound six to him, Silence protect us!

Template looks back, copying the expression. “They were talking about my identity. But then they stopped talking to me.”

Template nods, still speaking out loud. “Oh, I remember now. We’ll go on a quest to that Onyx person, and he’ll know, right?”

She smiled a little wider. Thanks- and the same goes to you.

He laughed dryly. Of course, though I won't need it. What could go wrong in a fortress full of Enullers who think I'm a science experiment and with a secret organization out there who's made it their life goal to find and kill me?

I . . . don't think so. Maybe, but I don't think so.
