But it was still a blade. A very important blade, in a sense.

What are you? he asked again. 

Just now, Through The Living Glass said:

"So . . . do you know what it does now?" Tam asked Cricket.

"No. I'm talking to it though."

Rebus prime, now Rebel, seeks out a path to Onyx’s Realm. He’d need to stay safe from Rebus and the ominous guardian, at least for a while. 
The real Rebus smirks, taking stock of the blades he’d been sent. Perhaps he should have modified Rebel’s personality either more, or less. 

Most of the Plotblades that had been sent seemed to have very little personality or distinguishing traits.

Rose stood up. 

The rabbit lunged for the dagger again. Give me the food! Its voice spoke into Rose's mind.

"Okay."

She sat on the ground and started making a little bracelet out of grass.

Cricket sat on a stone, still holding the Blade.

Atreides dodged Smough.

Smough brought his hammer up, and slammed it into the place Atreides was.

He jumped into the air, hanging there.

IT was a blade. Nothing more, nothing less.

“No! This is mine!”

Just now, Halcyon The Only said:

Tam sighed and made a dagger that looked identical to Rose's.

It landed in front of the rabbit.

Atreides groaned.

Rebus, too, is somewhat alarmed. “Let’s hope we can kill this guy without dying.” 
Can we pause this storyline for a bit, @SpiritOfWrath? Things are happening, both IRL and elsewhere in TLT.

20 minutes ago, Through The Living Glass said:

"Oh! Hi, Rebus!"

“Hello. We’re probably in grave danger, but it’s nice to see you.” 

20 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said:

“I’ll take one,” Rose volunteered. 

“Aw, I don’t think you’re useless,” Rose said sweetly. “I’ll take good care of you, if you want.”

He hands Rose one of the unidentified blades. “I don’t know what this will do, hopefully it helps.” 

20 minutes ago, Ookla the Irreplaceable said:

He sighed. "Rebus. Who's Desolation?"

“A terrifying Inkling who almost destroyed the Thread at one point.” 
 

I shall read and respond to the new things in another post.

The blade wasn't exactly able to describe itself in a word, but the word "Moment" felt right. It was closest to the idea that emotions enhance a story.

The plotblade, of course, despised the other, weaker, faker, less real  Plotblades that Rebus held.

[NameIess]

Just now, Halcyon The Only said:

“No! This is mine!” 

But it should be mine! It is tasty! The rabbit leapt onto Rose's arm and attempted to claw for the dagger.

The rabbit ignored the dagger. It didn't smell right.

Rose hit it away. “If you don’t want me to cut you in half woth this Plotblade, stay away.”

Cricket nodded to himself. Moment made sense. He understood that.

Rebus set aside the few that did have personality, then went to offer people these blades. 
What do they do?

Rebus blinks. “Oh. Yeah, that one. He wants us to reject our Authors and leave TLT, for some reason. My blades here I think are all Treasure or Armory or something. I have a few better ones; I’ll give Bacon Exposition and find something to do with Mentor.”

Less important. Less distinct.

Moment was glad Cricket understood. It was a difficult concept to grasp.

Perfect. 

She now has the Plotblade of Focus, which either places great importance on things or takes importance away.

Do you mind.. if I take another Plotblade too? You're important, but I also need to defend my friends.

Give me the dagger or I will consume your soul! The rabbit's fur rippled, and lines of black fur appeared briefly.

Just casually handing out a bunch of Plotblades created by Cursed Treasure. What could go wrong?

I would not recommend taking multiple Plotblades, Moment said, these things have a cost.

I need to protect, though. he said, somewhat desperately. Moment seemed to be gaining intelligence.
