NameIess Posted January 4, 2025 Posted January 4, 2025 3 hours ago, Halcyon The Only said: Bat squeaked. “What— Sir, what are you doing? Are you trying to kill me? Why are you trying to kill me?? Whatever it was, I’m sorry! I’ll fix it— try to fix it!” Love changes a dial his pistol. "I wasn't specifically ordered to kill you, so if you'll just stand right there..." He pulls the trigger and the pistol fires a laser meant to overload Bat's nervous system and knock him unconscious. 3 hours ago, Dragonheir said: 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.” "Yes, an intelligent idea. I'll make sure to add it to the energy controlling calculations." Balitan's fingers fly across his keypad as he updates the program. "There's no need for your concern. The shielding is quite robust. I built it with much larger amounts of metals in mind. With such small amounts, I doubt there's anything to wo-" Light filled Rebus's vision. fire burned his flesh. There was no noise, at least not that he could hear. Just light, fire, and when the light was gone, darkness. 3 hours ago, Dragonheir said: 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.” Moni laughed. "Oh, you think I'm a Faceless? I guess I shouldn't have snuck past you." She took a step closer to Kion, and he noticed that her dagger was missing from its usual place at her side. Love is in Malevolence after all. And it seemed a good name to distract Authors from his true identity. 52 minutes ago, Ookla the Arbiter said: 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. Calling a witness does not mean they can't be hostile. And Platypus's paperwork made it clear that he should be considered hostile to the prosecution. Besides that, it's not necessary to always object. "Well?" Prompted the lawyer. "What happened during your visit to the Dreamsmith?"
xinoehp512 he/him Posted January 4, 2025 Posted January 4, 2025 5 hours ago, NameIess said: "I see, I see." Love nods to himself. "Not very long then. You and Tam are... friends, I presume?" "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?" "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." "Basically, yes. Although I haven't decided what they'll be the hero of precisely." "Sure, after the trial." Love gasped. "Teleportation on command? Incredible!" "Do they need a designation other than 'hero'?"
NameIess Posted January 4, 2025 Posted January 4, 2025 2 minutes ago, xinoehp512 said: "Do they need a designation other than 'hero'?" Subversion looked at 656 in horror. "Of course they need another designation! The title of 'hero' is far too great a burden for anyone to bear all the time!"

Through The Living Glass She/They Posted January 4, 2025 Posted January 4, 2025 6 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.” She eyed the small plant warily, pulling her hands away from his. She shook her head gently. ". . . No." 6 hours ago, Halcyon The Only said: One of the undisclosed authors was very sad because of the departure of another author, also undisclosed. Awwwwww NOW COME BACK 5 hours ago, Halcyon The Only said: Bat nodded. “I think so. She’s said so, I think.” She nodded. "We are." 5 hours ago, NameIess said: "And you'd die for her, naturally." Unfortunately, Tam zoned out past this point as her Author went inactive. 1 hour ago, Ookla the Irreplaceable said: Cricket looked at Tam for a moment, then hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry." he whispered in her ear. She stiffened. "Sorry . . . for what?" 12 minutes ago, NameIess said: Love changes a dial his pistol. "I wasn't specifically ordered to kill you, so if you'll just stand right there..." He pulls the trigger and the pistol fires a laser meant to overload Bat's nervous system and knock him unconscious. Tam suddenly snapped back to attention, and a mirror appeared in front of Bat the instant before it could be fired and hit him, reflected back at Love. 1 minute ago, Ookla the Irreplaceable said: Cricket stood up with lightning speed and punched Malevolence in the face. Tam. he hissed. Stay down. Let me handle this. Her eyes went wide. Not again . . .

Cricket nodded. "Thank you." "For... not coming to find you. You could've frozen while I was sitting under a tree except for Bat telling me to find you." Stay down. he said again. His chest hurt like hell, and he could barely stand, but he tried not to show it. Let me do this. It's my turn to protect you.

His chest hurt like hell, and he could barely stand, but he tried not to show it. Let me do this. It's my turn to protect you. She, either having not heard him or just ignoring him, conjured think strips of metal out of the air that wrapped around Love's limbs and pinned him to the wall. We love having conversations from two different points in time at once

We love having conversations from two different points in time at once ik it's too good of a conversation to delay tho poor Cricket and Tam can't get a break "Regardless, if I hadn't talked to Bat, you'd probably be dead now." he said, shivering at the thought. @NameIess let do thissssssss Edited January 4, 2025 by Ookla the Irreplaceable

TwinStorm He/Him Posted January 4, 2025 Posted January 4, 2025 8 minutes ago, Through The Living Glass said: She went quiet. He sighed slightly. "Tam, I don't think I'm going back to the Enullers. I need to protect you, and since Stone, the hunters will be targeting you. Also, Prisoner kinda has the Enuller thing down. I'm staying with you, and I don't intend to leave."

"Do you think . . . they'll let you stay here? The Ennullers?" He laughed. "No, but I'll stay. Prisoner, my Enuller side, remembers how to use my powers. Hopefully if I show that, they will let me go. If not, well, I don't know."

"So do I." he said softly. "With everything happening, and I could die any time, I... just want to spend some time with you... guys." he added, hurriedly.

"I've... just decided to stop constantly worrying about the hunters. From now on, I'm just gonna take life one day at a time. That way, I'll be happier, and ready to face the future."
NameIess Posted January 4, 2025 Posted January 4, 2025 41 minutes ago, Ookla the Irreplaceable said: Cricket stood up with lightning speed and punched Malevolence in the face. Tam. he hissed. Stay down. Let me handle this. @Through The Living Glass Mechanical arms sprouted from Malevolence’s face, catching Cricket’s fist. “Should’ve just killed him without warning. Oh well, live and learn.” He turned the pistol on Cricket flicked the dial back to lethal, and opened fire. 41 minutes ago, Through The Living Glass said: Tam suddenly snapped back to attention, and a mirror appeared in front of Bat the instant before it could be fired and hit him, reflected back at Love. The laser dispersed on Malevolence’s energy shield, and he glanced at Tam, surprised. “Wha-“ 31 minutes ago, Through The Living Glass said: She, either having not heard him or just ignoring him, conjured think strips of metal out of the air that wrapped around Love's limbs and pinned him to the wall. Malevolences struggled to break free. “Hang on a second. How’d you do that?” A visor snapped down over his face, giving him access to a holographic replay of the events with energy signatures included. “Incredible! What kind of magic or technology can manipulate reality on such a scale?”

When he had used his powers, the pain flared and he almost fainted, but kept it under control. This was not the right time for his powers to act up. Just now, Through The Living Glass said: She nodded. "Sounds like a good plan," she whispered. He nodded, staying quiet.

"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 “I know,” he said, “but it’s only temporary. The emotion will come back. And… she needs to see the situation separated from her so she can understand why she did what she did.” 2 hours ago, echo74 said: "Woah, lots of spinny stuff. Cool." @Halcyon The Onlypinging you so you don't miss this when u get back Bella nodded and beamed. “Right?” 1 hour ago, NameIess said: Love changes a dial his pistol.

But we should at least look at the facts for a bit, even without this.” He put it back in his bag Bat pulled out his dagger again… it felt so small. So… weak. Be back in 10
