"Now I have four mothers!"

idk where he got the other two and i'm not gonna ask

by chance do you have an accent? 

"Only about fifty feet where I found you. Here it's closer to seventy," the woman said over her shoulder. 

The chasms were widening considerably. 

Bat yelped, clutching the blade with both hands. "W-- we don't wanna hurt you," he stammered. 

Malan's wound pulsed painfully. 

Tell your bro that he has 17 more grandfathers

One of them a demon

One of them a deity

I AM

I'M SOUTHERN

AS EVIDENCED BY MY PROPER PRONOUNCIATION OF THE WORD 'SUTHERN'

Malevolence reappeared as soon as Cricket and the rest had left, then walked over to Malan's corpse. He leaned down and placed something on the corpse, then stood up and looked at it.

Malan's body now bore a post-it note with the words "The Machination sends their regards" written in sharpie.

@SpiritOfWrath Was the Machination your evil organization?

He teleported away, appearing next to Ruia. "I have slain Malan, as you ordered."

Oh nooooo

GOODNIGHT I'M VERY PROUD OF YOU

"One of the ones you hurt? I thought you said they- oh. You hurt them before?"

“Yeup. Before we all died.”

”Wow,” Gaioh said. “So… what’s your name?” 

“Yrissia.”

He nodded. He hadn’t expected her to be Beosta, but he had wondered.

"Hello. I'm currently still stuck inside of your Plotblade." The Moment-narrator says. "I'm here now because I've manifested myself through emotions."

"I'm a screwed up version of a narrator. I need you to help me." The thing says, and then within moments, and then viscerally explodes (loudly hint hint) into yellow paint.

In Cricket's hands, Moment (the blade) glows faintly yellow, and pulses warmth. 

I'm going to sleep now :(((

The other people should hear the explosion though.

"Help? I... I can do that." he said as the explosion happened. 

10 hours ago, Through The Living Glass said:

She threw her hands up in mock-defense. "If you say so . . ."

Then she got up and grabbed a different pan, summoning some ingredients and getting to work.

Aw byeeeeeee :(

Tam jumped and dropped an egg, then rushed to the bedroom.

"Cricket?! Are you okay?!"

She looked at all the yellow paint.

"Where did that come from?"

10 hours ago, Halcyon The Only said:

Rose didn’t know exactly how she planned to set the eggs on fire. 

She didn’t want to ask Bat for a lighter, because that was chickening out. 

She set the burner up really high, poured oil over everything, and readied the pan lid. 

—

Bat and Rose both followed. 

“Cricket? Are you hurt?” Bat hurried over to him. 

@TwinStorm

"I don't think so." he said, looking down at the yellow paint. "I'm not entirely sure what just happened."

Mat frowned, as he attempted not to slide and hold his Notblade at the same time.

“You’re not a Narrator too, now,” Rose checked.

“Not yet. Nor have I begun thinning prospective candidates. For now, you are my only pupil. I’ll get around to teaching one of these days.” She summoned the Plotblade— long and thin, curved like the moon and rather fragile looking. “Is that what you wished to speak about?”

“It was not, though we should discuss it at some point. I am here because there is not enough things to be concerned about.”

“Good to meet you too,” Yrissa said.

A man— he looked old, but didn't seem to have any physical oldness— fell into step next to them. “What’re you kids doing out here?”

Gaioh shrugged. “Following her.” 

“Hmph. You must be new.”

“True, there are things much of the Thread should be concerned about, but their lack of apparency disqualifies them from consideration in this case.” He shrugs. “I can think of five or so threats to the Thread, but none are doing anything threatening. That’s bad.”

“Mmm,” she agreed, summoning a glass of red wine. “Quite.” She sipped. “And why is that?”

“Several reasons. If there is only one antagonist, it creates a problem. If there are none, it creates an even worse problem.”

“That’s good. Perhaps my preparations around that will pay off. And if he continues doing things, I believe we can find Rebel.” Rebus muses to himself.

“Mmm. I suppose I ought to do something threatening, then?”

”Indeed, indeed.”

He used the power at some point, right?

ok

see ya

Afterimage shifted. “Well… there’s this ‘new’ Plotblade… you wanna go see what all that’s about?”

Hmmmm

so

There will be…

A few setbacks to owning the plotblade. (May or may not come with a prophesy)

May mess up plots for other characters - whoever eventually claims it probably wants a character without toooooo important plot, yea?

Spoiler

Powers of Gleye (haha) Notblade:

As stated b4 - and no breaky-break

But also

weight can be whatever you decide it to be.

And - weight is a vector… not a scalar.

"Uhhh... so a Narrator who's trapped in Moment appeared and asked for help and exploded." he said, not looking at Bat.

Weight is a vector but in general it doesn't go negative- mostly because negative would imply either a push or a direct, stronger opposite pull

But you can still change the direction - due to the fact that Notblades don’t actually have mass - it’s essentially an illusion.

If they don't have mass, then what are they? Energy? 

Mass is concentration of atoms.
