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

Mass is concentration of atoms.

Hhhmmm

Magics (They aren’t actually real - not really)

Although, this specific one has like, a tiny amount of mass, due to the unique way it was made, as it was created from Afterimage’s body - not using Narration.

But essentially the Adari (what Afterimage is made of - intelligent magic) is actively cancelling its own weight, and is able to apply a separate force that mimics weight.

"That sounds nice."

“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.”

"New . . . ish. Who are you?"

28 minutes ago, TwinStorm said:

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

"What's a Plotblade?"

"Oh my."

26 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said:

"That's weird," Bat said.

"Leave that Narrator right where he is," Rose told him. "More trouble than they're worth. With exceptions, I guess." 

25 minutes ago, TwinStorm said:

He shrugged. "I don't know... he seemed desperate."

23 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said:

"Dangerous, then," she insisted. 

8 minutes ago, TwinStorm said:

"Okay. I won't... I'll try not to contact him." he said, knowing in his heart it was not true.

"Depending on what is needed . . . I think we should try to help him. What did he say he needed?"

So are you suggesting a force similar to friction, that utilizes an opposition to motion to function? Or maybe a separate pushing force equal to gravity? But that'll mean that it'll stay at a constant velocity when thrown up or down, which gets jank quickly. And because it's mass is so miniscule, the friction is to, since force of friction is related to coefficient of friction multiplied by the normal force, in most cases gravity multiplied by mass. As mass approaches zero, the friction forces will too.

Meaning it'll be real hard to hold, I think, and will have a tendency to go flying off.

See

you think that

and those are valid

But Afterimage also thinks that

And he is essentially a superdupercomputer - he’s put things in place to prevent that, ya?

From a physics standpoint it wouldn't make sense

Imo just give the thing mass but make it have a counterforce upwards if you want it to feel lighter, like a lashing type of thing

Tam rolled her eyes and, seeing as there wasn't any danger, walked out to continue making eggs.

"A year or two? Huh."

He figured he should ask around, if he was to make a well-informed decision.

"Why haven't you moved on?"

From a physics standpoint, Afterimage  can apply any force anywhere

And can also sense any force anywhere

So the Adari can also just essentially do this:

public void redo(double[] force) {
    double magnitude = force[0];
    this.applyforce(magnitude/this.actualmass*this.mass + magnitude, force[1]

}

ya know what I mean?

ofc it’d be more than that, but that’s beside the point 

@TwinStorm

A cloaked guy approached them, looking around suspiciously.

She walked back into the kitchen.

He sighed. That was extremely vague, and extremely disturbing. He followed her into the kitchen, collapsing in a chair. Eventually, he pulled a piece of paper and a pencil out of his pocket, and began to sketch, trying to distract himself.

Bat went to his room to find something to do to distract himself. 

His thoughts had been extremely hard to lock up lately.

The eggs were on fire when she got back. 

Rose cackled, seeing this, and let them burn for a good couple seconds before smothering it with the pan lid.

Tam sighed.

"When you said you were going to burn them, I thought you meant outside."

She Narrated away the smell of the burnt inedible-ness.

Then she got a cutting board and started chopping up some green onions and tomatoes, as well as a small yellow onion. She cracked a dozen eggs into a bowl, added a quarter cup of water, and mixed the chopped greens in before adding them to the pan she'd gotten earlier, then added some salt and pepper, as well as a little bit of oregano.

"You two want some?" she asked Rose and Cricket.

Yes, I wanted to write that out. And yes, it's delicious.

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

”Indeed, indeed.”

He used the power at some point, right? 

 

“Perhaps, perhaps not. I should not condone attacking the Thread, so I would remind people what you stand for and continue whatever slow burn you’re working on. Just keep Malevolence a dragon and not a starscream. He’s committed three successive betrayals for one plan; I personally trust him less than I could throw the result of whatever physics the Authors are arguing about right now.” He holds up a small hologram of the rabbit after it ate all the Plotblades. “This, though, is especially a problem. It’s trying to summon the Witherlord, and already has access to chaotic darkness. It is also is consumed entirely by hunger, and has no sense of debts or favors.” 
 

 @SpiritOfWrath @TwinStorm, would you two like to continue the Plotblade quest? I think there was an elevator…

"Oh. Okay."

She turned the stove off and dumped the eggs into a bowl, leaving them on the counter. Then she walked back to Bat's room.

"Hey," she said, peeking in, "I made some more scrambled eggs, if you want any. They're way better then Rose's, so . . ." She grinned.
