"What, in here? And what kind?"

"Cricket . . ."

She sighed and stood, giving him a hug.

He sighed, hugging her. "I'm fine. I... look, once these hunters are gone, the nightmares will stop. I'm sure of it."

“I’m fine. I might have something for your nightmares.” 

“She’s right,” Bat informed him. 

A… crayon rock. 

Okay. 

“Cool.”

"That'd be nice."

The Scribe is pretty sure that that is kinda dangerous.

Don't people balance out strong acids with weak bases in order to not facilitate a too quick shift in blood pH?

(practical metaphor)

Yea, the last part.

"And what knowledge are you to gain? Do you wish to pry my every secret? Do you wish to know the mind of the Eternal King?"

They transmitted a thought, but it just resolved as a crayon, and a stone.

There is an explanation...

(The original name of the Archstone was the Craëngulis, which was pronounces crayongulis, using the Cyrillic romanization. [It meant archstone in various languages, but i took liberties with it...])

Cricket didn't know about this. but this was magic dagger, so... who knows? MAGIC

Bat pulled out a couple of pills and handed them to Cricket in case he wasn’t around.

He took it, tucking it into a pouch at his belt. "Thanks."

“Lab,” Bat said immediately. “Tan, could you try and Narrate me a bunch of chemistry knowledge? Just to see if it works?”

“Lab,” Bat said immediately. “Tan, could you try and Narrate me a bunch of chemistry knowledge? Just to see if it works?”

"Er- Bat, are you sure?"

"Why don't I just conjure someone up who knows a lot about chemistry and biology and stuff?"

A voice came out of know-where:

"Pretty sure what you are planning on doing has a high chance of causing more damage than the poison. Ya know, acids, bases, that stuff."

This was not a new character.

He shrugged. “I wanna see if it works with my new tattoo.” 

BYE DUDES

"Oh, uh . . . okay."

She gave him a small amount of chemistry knowledge.

She wondered why the words "BYE DUDES" had appeared in all caps in the sky.

What a weird Author . . .

Kion frowns. “The man who was in the cave earlier was hiding from them, remember?” He drops the magic when Moni asks. 

The fake Moni immediately turns to stare at Palsu. "So," She says. "This is where you're hiding." Palsu paled. "I... I'm not hiding. Just travelling with them. They said they can protect me!" He looked at Kion and Moni. "You can protect me, right?"

@Ookla the Irreplaceable Perseus might want to wake up for this.

The albino grinned. “Now. Tell me about yourself. What do you love? What do you hate?”

"I love power, and the power of knowledge and technology above all other powers. I love being evil" Malevolence paused. "Hate... I hate being weak. I hate knowing that there are gaps in my knowledge that could prove fatal." He frowned. "I hate... many other things, I am sure. I just can't think of them right now."

20 hours ago, Dragonheir said:

Rebus takes the offered hand, shaking it firmly.“I hope it shall. The effort that giving all these visions must require would wear out anyone.” He waits for the Dreamsmith to speak, as demanding something be made for him would be rude. 

"I believe you want two things right now: Knowledge, and a Blade." The Dreamsmith says as he rummages through an old chest to the side of his workshop. "You came here for a weapon, and your scientific mind must burn with the desire to know whether combining the four fundamental elements is possible. I can give both of these things to you. Which do you want first?"

656 gave Subversion a confused glance.

Subversion flipped her hair angrily. "Whatever. They'd better hurry up."

There once was a man named Hero. These are the tales of his life. The first of these tales is that of the day his life began. Unlike many men, Hero was not given life on the day of his birth. No, he was truly born on a different day, a day of magic and power that will be remembered unto the end of times. On that day, the day that the one who would determine the fate of the world and perhaps the universe itself was born, the day that would be mythologized a hundred thousand times, the day that one day every soul on the planet would come to know, that day when evil's bane was born, on that most incredible day the man who would be Hero hid trembling under a wagon as men died around him.

5 hours ago, Ookla the Arbiter said:

"We talked about the alleged correspondence, and the Dreamsmith confirmed that it happened. They did also say that they didn't know why they implied that the Great Wizard was planning to take it, and if I recall correctly, stated that he probably wasn't. We talked a little bit more, but it isn't important to the trial."

"Could you perhaps tell us the Dreamsmith's exact wording, or at least as close to it as you can remember?" There was a slight commotion going on a the Council's table. Several of them were whispering to each other, and the Brave Adventurer was polishing his pocket watch with a nervous air.

The Priest popped out of the straw beside Bacon, Cricket, Bat, Tam, and Mark. He looked decidedly chipper, standing with enthusiasm and brushing his robes clean. "Bacon, good to see you! Are you all ready for the wedding?"

Perseus got up, tired and stretched, pretending to be non threatening, but the look in his eyes and his stance deceived that. “What do you want, anyway?”

Yes jumped on top of him.

"WEDDING!" she cried. "ARE YOU GETTING MARRIED?"

Tam snickered.

He nods. “The Dreamsmith trial apparently demands your full soul be present. So I’ve had to recall it from my clones. I’ll be back - consider everything I’ve said.” 

"I- um... okay." Ryss says. He sits down and catches a lasagna falling from the sky.

He sighs.

It smelled just like that day, too long ago.

With Eof.

That very first day. 

Back when Plot... well Plot was still dead

But it felt as if he had been alive.

The Faceless Moni looked at Perseus, shock crossing its face. "The Avenger? You've returned to Ragnorok?"

Tam snickered.

The Priest only laughed and gently pulled Yes off of him, setting her down on the floor. "No child. I am merely officiating a wedding. Will you be in attendance?"

Faunus looked impatiently between the two, raising an eyebrow at the exchange. At least she was getting some more information, but still, if someone would tell her what was going on, it would be much appreciated.

She looked up at him with wide, innocent eyes.

"I don't know where attendance is, but I want to go to the wedding!" she replied happily, bouncing up and down.

"I am sure you can!" The Priest said. "I spoke with Mother Entreri last night, and she told me that anyone at the inn is allowed to attend the wedding. You'll just have to find a gift of some sort."

“Faceless.” he said, crossing the distance between them quickly and seizing it by the collar, lifting it up in the air. “I’ve returned. Tell me, how many innocents have you killed?”
