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

Who are you? Who did this to you?

3 hours ago, Ookla the Inconclusive said:

I'm made of paper, not sand. That doesn't make any sense.

She smiled. Thanks, I think!

"Hmm. Parchment, perhaps?"

Cricket sighed. He had let the truth out. And by saying it, he had realized what had happened. He'd kept it close to his chest until now. Now, he was going to do it. Now, he was going to kill every single last one of the hunters.

He looked towards the doctor. "I have a job to do. I'm sorry I couldn't finish my training. If I survive, I'll come back. I swear."

I should've guessed! He went silent for a moment, considering. Fine. I'll stay. For right now. But if they dare to show their faces at all, or even try to harm you, I'm leaving, and I'm going to kill them all.

good night!

Cricket's conversation echoed in his mindscape. The doctor frowned. Who is that?

She shrugged. “I dunno. I’m good for now.” 

Somebody bumped into Bat. He glared in that direction, then frowned. He reached into his bag and pulled out a small scrap of paper, staying unobtrusive to the rest of the group. 

I can take us back to the beach if you'd like, Tam told Beosta.

She then floated over to Bat. What's that?

"Hmm. Parchment, perhaps?"

Mm. Sure! Why not.

You didn't know who he was? Tam asked, a little disturbed.

Template shakes their head. “I did, I think, but now I do not. While I thought we had spoken about him, I knew who he was.” They follow the others out into the street, not really knowing what else to do.

“The beach would be nice.” 

Bat quickly skimmed the piece of paper. His face crumpled. “Oh, it’s… it’s nothing.”

Bat quickly skimmed the piece of paper. His face crumpled. “Oh, it’s… it’s nothing.”

The Scribe was very curious as to what the paper had to say, but he was annoyed at Tam at the moment… and so decided just to directly think at Bat.

Hey! What do it say? I can help!

Im curious… does Bat still have the Notblade? Cuz… it has safeguards against being taken.

Template nods. “It is quite nice. Did I introduce myself to you?”

How much do you want this wound to stick around?

...the Nullite is causing chaos.

Charles's voice was extremely skeptical.

 

 

Are you certain you would be willing to accept the restrictions necessary to participate in such a program? Narrators in their natural state are a good deal from safe.

Lost soul. Follower of Silence. I am a surgeon of the Silent Halls. Do you remember yourself?

Look, sometimes you've got to read a book

"My name is Bacon the Bard. What's yours?"

Nononono! The Nullite does not cause chaos. The conflict is within them no matter what - all the Nullite did was end it, essentially. And besides, if one sees an Ennuler and runs in panic, did the Ennuler  cause that chaos? Oh, and, the attacks of the Strands are quite organized. Just, you know, evil. Killy stuff. The Nullite is making it more efficient and organized in its efforts, you see.

It doesn’t matter. He crumpled the note in his hand. It’s not important.

He does! I’ll make sure to ping you if someone tries to

The Scribe wonders what could be so not important and yet still make Bat this sad. He relays this to Bat.

The Scribe sighs, but hangs around in Bat’s mind in case he thinks the content of the letter.

Template flickers back to being Owen for a moment. “I was - but someone made me Owen. My real name is apparently Template.”

awww maaaaan

fine be responsible

I should go too though

HALY GO TO BED

RAH

His resolve to kill them all frightened her slightly. She shivered.

Alright.

She supposed they would cross that bridge when they came to it.

Shoe nodded.

Finally, Tam sighed, which caused Shoe to glare at her.

Thanks. I... I don't want to kill. I just need time to think. he said, gazing into the woods.

He's one who should not be. Two opposites, forged together.

Cricket gasped, startled. "She's a.... friend of mine."

Tam teleported them all back to the beach.

You sure? Seems like something to me.

I can still hear you, y'know, Tam told the Scribe, annoyed.

So?

Ok, truce. I’ll give you a Notblade (a sliver of the power I took from Madness) if you agree to peace. I’m not giving you Parasite, though. That one needs guarding, not using.

A sheathed blade fell from the sky near Tam.

Tam stared at the blade.

Um, what?

i find it tedious to argue, yes? so… trice. also, I need to branch out, ya know, to other worlds. don’t keep my characters contained to my nARRATIVE.

i’m also rather chaotic.

I had not realized we were arguing. And thank you, but no. The blade appeared next to the Scribe, wherever they were.

I have enough things to deal with as it is.

*pout*
Well, I can always give it to someone else.

(Besides. I’m a Narrator. You expect me to keep track of time well? Our duelish thing was just a few posts ago!)

Here’s another one! This one causes pain in whoever you stabby stab.

Rebus, listening, wonders how that would be different from an ordinary sword. He’s calmed down a bit, or at least seems to have. Maybe I can get myself one of those - depending upon how likely the Scribe is to no-sell me otherwise. Speaking of which, would you happen to know anything about Ennullers.

Template thanks Tam, then looks around more critically at the beach. Perhaps there’ll be some aforementioned adventure…

Um… I know the location of some… and that they scare me…

Also, no, you cannot have any of my Notblades. I only have made three, and the third one is not for sale ‘tall.

And, yes, I gave Bat the other two. I like Bat.

The fear is justified, I think. I’d like to do something about it, though. I’ll have to counter them at both power level and plot level, if I- he cuts off. Don’t want to lay the foreshadowing on too thickly. As for Bat, that’s probably good, character-wise. But I think I need aid from Authors in order to fight them. Did I tell you something came to me for a Faustian bargain and I annoyed it away by accident? I think the Thread is trying to stop me from having fun.
