Rebus - the real Rebus - speaks from his moon, for the purposes of secrecy. Rebus prime stays where he is to focus on talking to Desolation. “A quest for Plotblades, or at least other quests that might have them.” 

"I see... which Plotblades?"

"I see... which Plotblades?"

“I’d be interested in seeing any of them, honestly. Exposition would be interesting, though it is not for me. Competence, perhaps, is a blade I would like. Awe could be interesting. You might want Champion, though I imagine the bearer of such a blade could be beaten by someone with enough determination and filler episodes. I believe if we find the right quest, we’ll each find a blade tailored to us. Then we can try to kill each other to get the other one, which would be interesting.”

Ah. So why did I think they would be at the trial? I legitimately have no idea. What do you mean by claimed? 

They will choose their wielder from the one who closest matches them.

Faunus pushed to the front, as the cave opened up once more, and finally, there stood Moni, back turned to the group, staring at the wall.

Kion stops walking forward. “Moni? Are you okay?”

Perseus followed.

Moni turned. Her face was slicked with sweat, her breath was still coming quickly, and her eyes were red. "I'm... fine."

15 minutes ago, Dragonheir said:

I think anything that isn’t on Nameless’s about me is unclaimed. Love Triangles is in Platypus’s possession, I think, but I think that is it. Significantly, Protagonist and Antagonist are floating around waiting to be claimed. 

 

21 minutes ago, Ookla the Irreplaceable said:

"The problem with that is the Authors. They are always the problem. Kill a Narrator, and they come back."

"They angered me, but... perhaps... there are other targets. Ones not so... valued by their Authors."

@NameIess what are some unclaimed Plotblades?

My list is a tiny bit (read: extremely) out of date. Protagonist and Antagonist can't be claimed through Narration and are not available to be found. One must prove to be a worthy Pro/Antagonist in order to claim them. Love Triangles is in Platypus's possession. I think Plot Twists was owned by someone. But if there's a plot aspect that no one has yet, feel free to have one of your characters claim/quest for it.

Interesting… so if you intentionally become an antagonist, you can then claim Antagonist. Honestly, Malevolence might count. But my knowledge - and thus the knowledge of my characters - was flawed.

Kion walks over to her, concern in his eyes. “Do you need anything?”

Plot Twists was (in a surprising twist) an elaborate deception, if I recall correctly. Where do you actually quest for Plotblades?

You can't just be an antagonist or protagonist. You have to be the Protagonist or Antagonist. Malevolence isn't at that level (yet).

*smirks* Love Triangles. big plans for that blade. @Through The Living Glass

"What kind of quest?"

Oh my gosh stop it already

7 hours ago, Halcyon The Only said:

“No cost,” she insisted. “No cost but the agreement of the rules.”

“I’m okay. I already patched up Cricket.”

I read them too. I had an excellent reason for doing so. 

“We like you. I’ll gladly save you if you’ll let me be your friend.”

Once at the pavilion, Tam turned back into her normal self and sort of just wandered around, not really sure what to do.

Malevolence picked it up. "Hello? Now's not a great time."

"Then let us get going." Palsu hurried deeper into the cave, brown eyes filled with more than a hint of worry.

“I found some I formation you might like to know. I’ll make this quick. Unless I miss my guess, somebody named Bat is traveling with Tam and Cricket. He comes from the Eternal Mountains. Underneath them, to be precise.”

Bat found some food. “Tam, you want food?”

“Okay!” He ate. 

Bat couldn’t stop smiling. He'd saved everyone. 

Well, the priest had. But Bat had helped! And it felt awesome!

Kion continues holding her bag, because it’s relatively heavy and Moni doesn’t look too good.

honestly I kinda think Cricket would make a good fit for the Protagonist

Cricket walked over to her. "Sorry about that."

Rebus, have done some research, smiles. “I have a plan. There are rumors that part of Plot’s corpse is hidden somewhere. I believe we could take fragments of Plot’s unkeyed power and have them become Plotblades matched to us.” 

Meanwhile, some of Bacon’s lost memories managed to form a fuzzy echo. This normally wouldn’t matter, but it managed to collide with a terrible idea before it dissipated. It’s fine… no problems could possibly be caused by an echo of Bacon. It wasn’t even physical.

“Ah. Most bearers of Plotblades cannot be easily defeated by one without one. One blade should lead to another, especially if the first is cast from your arc.” Rebus smiles.

Not quite… in fact, very much not. This echo of Bacon is as far from Bacon the Tax Collector as a derivative of Bacon can be.
