Do you suppose we should wait for the Ennullers to show up, or shall we interact with the orb ourselves? It’s a full-fledged character, judging from the fact I’m being compelled to leave. I’m not going to.” 4 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said: Bat... managed to not scream. But he was deeply disturbed. I... what? Another male voice speaks to Bat, since everyone else is doing it. I’m Rebus’s Author. You’re a good character - I like your storyline and you feel alive. I don’t really have anything else to say… Anyway, sorry for all the telepathy.

Am I hurting her? Tam pulled away. "What happened? Why'd you jump?" You're helping, actually. More than you know. Then Tam's got mad at all the other Authors for ruining that perfectly good moment. Sorta.

Rebus (prime) nods resolutely and steps through the doorway. Inside lies a stone room. It is perfectly round, and accented with strange characters. It is only a few meters in diameter, and less in height. In the center of the room lies a small wooden table, and on the table lies a pair of dice. One is white with black dots, and the other is black with white dots.

If it isn’t, he wonders if the Scribe can Narrate him inside that reality.

I'd say no, but we are directly responsible for your existence, so... Many Authors are religious, to answer your question earlier. But yeah, having three arguable deities bypass the people intended to serve as their heralds and speak directly to you is not a common occurrence.
