Bird Furious she/her/un/important Posted January 3, 2025 Posted January 3, 2025 One of the undisclosed authors was very sad because of the departure of another author, also undisclosed.
NameIess Posted January 3, 2025 Posted January 3, 2025 2 hours ago, Halcyon The Only said: "I... not really. Just a week or two... or some amount of time. I don't know." "I see, I see." Love nods to himself. "Not very long then. You and Tam are... friends, I presume?" 1 hour ago, Dragonheir said: He nods. “I’d meant the other process, for acquiring Luxite. Before you start this, you should tell me. We’re about to mix Morditite, after all. I’d bring you back, but it would be from memory.” "My process for acquiring Luxite? Nothing complicated. I just created a system to find places with relatively high concentrations of Luxite, then sent out specialized drones to collect it. Takes a long time, but fortunately the pages have been going by quite fast. Only took a bit under a thousand to gather this much. Purification was trickier, but this machine here," He tapped a machine on his workbench. "Did the trick. Any more questions?" 1 hour ago, Dragonheir said: Kion blinks. “What? Maybe I’m more tired than I thought.” After a moment of deliberation, he says “Restoration”, waking himself up. "Hm. There's something out here I think you should see." Moni pointed at something out of Kion's line of sight. "Come out here and look at it." 1 hour ago, xinoehp512 said: 656 still looked unsure. "Well... They are the hero, are they not?" "Basically, yes. Although I haven't decided what they'll be the hero of precisely." 1 hour ago, xinoehp512 said: Nogard nodded. "After the trial, then?" "Sure, after the trial." 1 hour ago, Through The Living Glass said: She breathed an internal sigh of relief. But at the same time, she felt kind of disappointed . . . No. Stop. She took a deep breath and nodded. "Yeah- I can bring them here." She did so. Feather squawked indignantly when he appeared, then flew over to Bat and nuzzled his head affectionatly. He did not like being left behind. Love gasped. "Teleportation on command? Incredible!"

NameIess Posted January 3, 2025 Posted January 3, 2025 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said: Bat nodded. “I think so. She’s said so, I think.” "And you'd die for her, naturally." Edited January 3, 2025 by NameIess
Bird Furious she/her/un/important Posted January 3, 2025 Posted January 3, 2025 7 minutes ago, NameIess said: "And you'd die for her, naturally." “Uh…” Bat glanced at Tam, feeling rather uncomfortable. “Probably,” he admitted. “Why?”

NameIess Posted January 3, 2025 Posted January 3, 2025 2 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said: “Uh…” Bat glanced at Tam, feeling rather uncomfortable. “Probably,” he admitted. “Why?” "Pity." Love pulled a knife from somewhere and threw it at Bat's leg.

It was just a hypothetical question.” Lady Bug waved. 15 minutes ago, NameIess said: "Pity." Love pulled a knife from somewhere and threw it at Bat's leg. Bat jumped away. It still hit him, but just bounced off. “Hey,” he complained. “What was that for?”
Immortal Platypus Posted January 3, 2025 Posted January 3, 2025 3 hours ago, Halcyon The Only said: Someone's been watching his Perry Mason Someone was part of a mock trial for debate last year 3 hours ago, NameIess said: The contract he signed counts as being sworn in. It's still a leading question. 3 hours ago, xinoehp512 said: Selppaenip looked at Platypus, who was looking at him. Platypus looked at ..., willing him to tell Selppaenip what to object, and how.

Purification was trickier, but this machine here," He tapped a machine on his workbench. "Did the trick. Any more questions?" Rebus’s eyes widen at the time this experiment had taken. Of course, there were likely faster ways to obtain Luxite. His initial idea is kidnapping Platypus, which he acknowledges as ill-advised, ethically dubious, and probably not that effective. Putting that aside, he downloads the plans for the drones and purifier, knowing that Narrating anything to do with fundamental metals is difficult. “No. I think I can continue our legacy if our progress here is undone.” He grins, readying utility fog and force fields to protect Balitan and himself. “Alright. Would you like to do the honors?” Kion almost walks out of the tunnel with Moni. Then he stops. “Wait… what did you ask me about, earlier? I was confused, briefly, and you explained the question to me.”

Bat jumped away. It still hit him, but just bounced off. “Hey,” he complained. “What was that for?” "Oh," he said. "So like her?" He pointed at Lady Bug.

It still hit him, but just bounced off. “Hey,” he complained. “What was that for?” “Oh, knives are generally quieter than deathrays, and I was hoping to catch Cricket and Tam by surprise.” ‘Love’ pulled a compact futuristic pistol out of his pocket and pointed it at Bat. “Don’t move, if you please. This packs considerably more punch than a thrown knife.” 33 minutes ago, Ookla the Arbiter said: It's still a leading question. Against a hostile witness. 33 minutes ago, Ookla the Arbiter said: Platypus looked at ..., willing him to tell Selppaenip what to object, and how. … raised an eyebrow at Platypus, but remained silent. 24 minutes ago, Dragonheir said: Rebus’s eyes widen at the time this experiment had taken.

I was confused, briefly, and you explained the question to me.” “Very well.” Balitan loaded the sample of all four substances into a machine, then powered it on. “Won’t be long now!” He moved over to a computer screen showing energy readouts. “Energy fluctuations are slightly higher than expected. Still within safe parameters though.” 42 minutes ago, Dragonheir said: Kion almost walks out of the tunnel with Moni. Then he stops. “Wait… what did you ask me about, earlier? I was confused, briefly, and you explained the question to me.” “What?” Moni frowned. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.” 1

I’ll fix it— try to fix it!” Edited January 4, 2025 by Halcyon The Only

"ARE YOU A NARRATOR?" “YUP,” Lady Bug called back. “WHAT IS IT YOU WANT?” “CIOL,” Bella yelled. “IS THAT YOUR SOUL’S DESIRE?” “UM… NO.” “Fair enough.” A pile of blue stone rings the size of a baseball appeared on the sands. The caravan cheered. 1

Still within safe parameters though.” Rebus watches with excitement, but he knows foreshadowing when he sees it. To counter the ominous literary implications, he says “Luxite channels energy. We can use the last bit to stabilize the fluctuations if they get out of control.” Kion shrugs, and begins to walk out of the tunnel. “I’m probably being paranoid, but these Faceless sound clever. But I don’t think they read minds.” The Love twist was well done. It caught me by surprise, but now it feels obvious.

TwinStorm He/Him Posted January 4, 2025 Posted January 4, 2025 (edited) 7 hours ago, Through The Living Glass said: "Hang . . . hang on a minute." "Hey," she said quietly- almost timidly. Tam wondered what in the world was going on. I HOPE NOT "Mm . . . yep." Cricket looked at Tam for a moment, then hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry." he whispered in her ear.

TwinStorm He/Him Posted January 4, 2025 Posted January 4, 2025 (edited) 5 hours ago, Halcyon The Only said: He nodded and dug a small purple sprig out of his bag. “Swallow this for me. It’ll neutralize your emotions and help you separate yourself from this so we can talk through the facts really quick.” Cricket looked at it for a moment. "No." he said, quietly. "Sorry, Bat, but Tam, don't take that. I can't explain it, but... killing is something that is connected to emotions. To sever that is to injustice to the fact that you took a life." @Through The Living Glass Edited January 4, 2025 by Ookla the Irreplaceable
Immortal Platypus Posted January 4, 2025 Posted January 4, 2025 2 hours ago, NameIess said: Against a hostile witness. … raised an eyebrow at Platypus, but remained silent. Actually, he's not. The prosecution called him, meaning he is considered their witness for the purposes of the court. Platypus wondered if he could object to the question, since no one else would. He was unfamiliar with the specific laws of this nation, but he doubted it.
