She turned into an octopus and reached into the coral.

Except she was still far away, so it was the wrong coral.

In any case, Tam retreated deeper into it.

Fael created mini dolphin drones, which searched all the coral nearby.

Except she was still really, really far away, because she'd never traveled back after she went sonic.

Tam giggled again.

the dolphin drones scattered, searching till they found Tam, where they alerted Fael, who came back at super-sonic speed.

Dang. 

Eep!

She hid in a different piece of coral, making herself even smaller.

The dolphin drones starting taking the coral reefs to Fael, who was checking them.

I know what you meant, but the thought of little drone dolphins picking up entire coral reefs kinda makes me laugh 

She made herself even smaller. Small enough that she couldn't be seen.

Fael caused the coral to crumble into dust, go ten feet and reform. The dolphin drones surrounded Tam. Gotchu, thought Fael triumphantly.

Not yet you don't! You still can't see me, and you haven't tagged me yet, so . . .

She buried herself somewhere in the sand.

"Ha!" He exclaims throwing his hands up. "You just said the box tells me not to open it." He sits there laughing and shaking his head. "Well. You never cease to amaze me do you."

“Tellin is merely remarking that you lack the stupidity to get yourself into an interesting and potentially lucrative situation.”

Eh. 

Almost.

Tam turned back into a dolphin and poked Fael, then swam away as fast as she possibly could.

Tag!

In other news, a lemon shark was drifting lazily towards Bat.

@Halcyon The Only

Bat sighed. 

Maybe it would go away if he ignored it?

Perseus shrugged. “Forget the metaphor. It wasn’t great. Anyways, I think it can only be used in times of great neede. That is how the artifacts in the legends always worked.”

"So you won't be able to use it to get me out?" Palsu sighed. "Ah well. I guess I can travel with you to the other exit."

She stepped up to the group, smiling at everyone, because being alive again felt good, but she really didn’t know how long that would last. “What’s going on?” Faunus asked, no one in particular.

"We met a new person and found shelter." Moni frowned at Faunus, then leaned over to Kion. "What kind of Narrator is she?" She whispered.

"Tell me woman, your name?" The Emperor inquires further, not wanting to be tricked or swindled. 

"Ah, I see you are a man of wisdom. You trust not in mere words." The woman cackles, reaching into her cloak. "Worry not. I do not bring you words, but proof as well." She pulled forth a sheathed sword and threw it to the ground in front of the Emperor's throne. "Here. See my work for yourself."

"The defense is ready to begin!" announced Selppaenip.

"Very well." The Wise Judge pulled forth a scroll sealed with the signet of the Brave Adventurer. "Here are the charges against the Great Wizard. Who stands to read them?"

For an extended moment, nobody moved. Then, slowly, the Valiant One stood. He walked slowly across the table to the Wise Judge and took the scroll carefully. "I will read the charges." His voice was firm, but his hands trembled slightly as he unrolled the scroll carefully.

"The charges against the Great Wizard are as follows:" The Valiant One cleared his throat, then continued. "Conspiracy against the best interests of the Order of the Brave Adventurers. Spying on secret matters of the Adventurers. Resisting arrest. Murder of brave adventurers." The Valiant One's voice faltered and he stared at the scroll, conflict running across his face. Then he gritted his teeth, murmured something that could have been a curse or a prayer, and continued. "Last of all, you are charged with conspiracy to claim the two most dangerous Plotblades for your own personal gain. The Plotblades of Antagonist and Protagonist."

Description of the courtroom that I forgot to include last post:

Spoiler

The Hall of Judgement was a large circular room surrounded by seating all around, save for the walkway between the massive wooden doors banded with iron. At the center of the room was the Seat of the Accused, an imposing chair made from black wood, with chains and restraining implements of various kinds attached to the chair and surrounding floor. Directly in front of the chair was the Wise Judge's seat, and to the sides of this seat were the tables at which the Council of Brave Adventurers sat. Behind the chair and to the left was the table of the defense, behind and to the right was the table of the plaintiff. Directly behind the Seat of the Accused was the table of witnesses, at which sat everyone who had agreed to witness at the trial

"I don't have a name," said the woman warily. "I am called Survivor 656."

"656 you say? Have you met Survivor 655 by any chance? He was..." A beeping sound interrupted Subversion. She frowned, pulling out her checklist. One of the items was flashing red. "Oh dear. I'm missing the trial! See you later, but I've got to go!" She hurried from the room, running back to the welcome desk. "Excuse me, but I have to leave. Very important trial that I'm supposed to be attending, you see. I'll be back as soon as it's over, but for now I must be going. I don't suppose you'd let me use Narration to get there faster?"
