Then get more people involved.

Mm, true . . . but that means no more Narration, got it?

Fiiiiiiiiiiiine. Umm, tag someone!

It's okay

I still get notifs from TLT anyway, not just you.

Hehe. Okay!

She turned both Fael and herself each into an octopus, then swam over to Shoe and Beosta. She tapped her brother lightly on the head.

Tag! she cried, darting away.

Shoe laughed and poked Beosta, also swimming away.

Beosta's it!

@Halcyon The Only

[TwinStorm He/Him]

That’s a lot of notifs….

Fael swam away, hiding in some coral.

Yeah, it is. You're totally fine though 

Tam grabbed her and pulled her out.

Oh no you don't! she laughed, throwing Fael out into the open.

[TwinStorm He/Him]

Hey! Cheater! she said, struggling to get back out.

Aighty, I’m gonna go on vacation now, so see ya! I’ll be back on new years, so just tag me and be patient. 

Merry Christmas y’all!

Tellin rapped him on the head with his paw. “Shut up, you idiot mortal.” 

The dragonfly hovered closer to Sylas, buzzing inquisitively. 

Sylas continues laughing at Tellin as he watches the dragonfly. "It says not to open it." Sylas mocks.

"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:

  Hide contents

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

@Ookla the Arbiter @Halcyon The Only@sarcasm spren@SpiritOfWrath @Everyone I forgot

Platypus muttered a curse under his breath. He'd been afraid it would be those two. After the vision, and the fact they hadn't shown up yet... Well, no better time to solve this than now. Two more of him appeared at his base. Then they teleported away, one filling out paperwork at the Wall to inform the Ennullers of the development of the Plotblades (@xinoehp512), the other starting his hunt for the Plotblades. The one on the hunt travelled to where he figured the best place to begin would be: the place of Plot's death, and the rock that he left. It's gonna be a pain to find that post. In the Hall of Judgement, the original Platypus sat with his face perfectly masked, betraying nothing.

Since goldfish are not native to coral reefs, Tam figured something was up and turned into a pygmy seahorse, following her sneakily.

The shark circled the coral menacingly. Two more of the same species joined it.

Heya! Tam said in his head after a moment. Did you need something?

For a minute, there was no response. But then, fuzzy like static- sharks. ..... probably fine ........ hide here for ........... is Gaioh okay?

Beosta's it!

@Halcyon The Only

Beosta huffed and swum after both of them. After a moment of normal swimming, she shot forward and tagged Tam. Livetha squeaked in outrage from the coral, where she looked somewhat like she was swimming in syrup.

"If you do not shut up," Tellin told him imperiously, "Tellin will scratch you." 

The dragonfly landed on Sylas' nose delicately.

You mean the traveler?

"Yes- traveler-Subversion. Oh dear- I suppose she found someone else to start asking questions to..."

Of course. And I mean it.

"He's the monster who split my soul and merged it with another. He's the one who's sent hunters after me, and caused the death of a planet. He is the one who won't survive the year."

Well, perhaps you should file a report. If he is truly as dangerous as your 'Prisoner' seems to indicate, then more than your power alone will be required to defeat him.

“It means Tellin wants you to open the box.”

“Why did he hide their existence, again?”

"So that people wouldn't claim them."

"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."

"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.

@Dragonheir

"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."

"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?"

"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?"

656 started at the name, staring at Subversion in disbelief.

The Ennuller frowned. I'm afraid you cannot leave. The contract you signed stipulated that you must remain here for the duration of at least one lesson. The next available session is-

"Wait!" cried 656, scurrying into the room. "655. How do you know him?"

Tam looked over, worried. Then she laughed.

It's only a few lemon sharks! They're practically harmless. They probably just wanted you to pet them.

I can get rid of them though, if you're worried.

Huh? Bat, what'd you say?

. . . What's with the static? But yeah, they probably won't hurt you unless you hurt them first. Or feed them. Don't feed them.

One of the sharks pressed it's nose roughly against his palm before continuing on.

I can't hear you very well- is something wrong? she asked, turning back to her normal self and rubbing a different shark's nose.

@Through The Living Glass @Halcyon The Only  Template ends up as an octopus-rock-dolphin thing, loose currents of Narration colliding with them. 

Rebus waited, hiding his actions from Narration (only partly successfully) and wondering if he’s missing any plot. He casts his mind back to the Plotblades and their prophecies, trying to remember what the conditions were, and whether or not they had to be fulfilled.

Template begins to dig a hole, using their tentacles to move sand out of the way. Their shape sort of shifts, solidifying into a nautilus-like creature, less monstrous and disorganized than before. Their dolphin body is covered in a rocky protective layer, and they trail tentacles behind them, opening and closing them like a cephalopod while kicking up and down like an ordinary dolphin.

Tam looked over and found this quite a disturbing sight, but didn't interfere.
