NameIess Posted January 13, 2025 Posted January 13, 2025 2 hours ago, The Sly Cookie said: Could we possibly change this then? Possibly Mox isn't a Luxsprite, but another type of being that has ordered light energy? Maybe? Almost all the Ordered light in TLT was corrupted into darkness or transformed into Chaotic Light when the Witherlord destroyed the Luxsprites. There's only ever been one other Ordered Light being in TLT if we're not counting the last Luxsprite or Platypus, and that was a leftover remnant of a crystal from the Luxsprite's time. It's not very likely that an Ordered Light being on the power level of a god could have existed for a significant amount of time without drawing the Witherlord's notice, as they could threaten him. And it's equally unlikely (if not more so) that an Ordered Light being with Mox's power could come into existence, as there's basically no way to create Ordered Light without a being of Ordered Light to start from. 2 hours ago, Halcyon The Only said: “You may like to change your skin, if you are capable of doing so.” She shifted, growing shorter and younger. Tattoos sprouted across jet skin, and long black hair grew to the middle of her back. "I see." nanobots crawl across Malevolence's face, rearranging his features and giving him tattoos. He now had black hair and clear blue eyes. "So you're the one who's responsible for the changes in this place? Most evil of you." -- Somewhere far off... Pot sat down, put his feet up on the table, and opened his book. This librarian job really was perfect. No one ever bothered to read his dusty old manuscripts besides the odd researcher or particularly ambitious graduate student, so for most of the day he was free to just relax with a good book. Today he was reading the tenth book of the Stormlight Archives: Lopen and the Knights of Lunacy. He was just about to reach the Sanderlanch when he heard the sound. The sound that every librarian was taught to fear from the moment they began their apprenticeship. The sound of small paws on hard stone. Pot stood sharply, hurrying towards the sound of the vermin. It was good that he had this book, as it would doubtless work very well for smashing any rats attempting to eat the pages. He rounded the corner in the hallway that lead to the library proper, and froze. A horde of rabbits filled the rows of bookshelves. But instead of eating the pages, they were carrying off the books. Quite efficiently too, stuffing the books and manuscripts into several massive sacks, which they then dragged through the hole they'd burrowed into the library with. "Wha-" A sharp pain ran up Pot's leg. He yelped, stumbling back, and looked down into eyes that were blacker than the darkest night. Fear paralyzed him as the void-eyed rabbit crawled up his legs and came to rest on his shoulder, never once taking its eyes away from his. Paper. The voice that entered his mind dripped with malice. Give us your paper. The rabbit turned its head to sniff at Lopen and the Knights of Lunacy Give us your paper, and perhaps we shall not eat you. Pot dropped the book immediately, relieved that the little beast had looked away from him. Perhaps... perhaps he would survive this after all. It was only then that Pot noticed that all the other rabbits had stopped their thieving to gather around him, a sea of dark-eyed monsters. He screamed then, and tried to run. He did not scream for long. 1

It wasn’t far before they came across another occupied cell. Two walls were covered with scrawl, presumably made by the occupant. She was a woman in her late twenties with long, shiny, black hair (purple where the light hit) and an elegant pantsuit. She didn’t look up from her mutterings, clutching a sharp rock in one hand.

I may be crazy, but the other me’s— don’t trust the other me’s! DON’T TRUST THE OTHER ME’S!” The cavern seemed to shake at her voice. Bat jumped when she yelled that, and grabbed Tam’s shoulders, pulling her away. Before he did, Lady Bug pressed a small piece of paper into her hand.

His utility fog disassembles part of the wall, leaving a passageway. A paper reading “esirprus a rof semit bacon the bard yas ot tsrif eht be” flutters to the ground in front of him. Desolation enters the building. The interior is dark, and the entire thing appears to be hollow. "When the first Narrators came here, they found this room empty. It was once a well, they thought, that could draw on the Narrative in safe amounts. But they desired more."

Lady Bug stared her in the eyes for a moment, then threw back her head and laughed. “You’re really going to pretend? As if this isn’t exactly what you—“ Cricket, Rose, Tam, and Bat were dumped back on their beach. Lady Bug was gone, Second Rose was gone, and there was no trace of Nullite in the air. In case Tam wants to check, it’s the exact same beach.
