Just now, Halcyon The Only said:

He smiled. “Thanks. You don’t have to— I can just come get some. I’m almost done.” 

—

“I’d thought of that. It’s possible, but I’m not so sure.”

She nodded. "See you in a minute, then."

-

"Hmm . . ." 

He turned back to Yrissia.

"So what are you going to do down here?"

“Thanks. —Yeah, see you.” He smiled  

A window tinkled in the front room, breaking very quietly. 

—

“Convince them to move on. It’s better for them.” She pointed at the old man. “I’ll be back for you.”

She frowned and turned away from Bat, then headed in the general direction of the noise.

"How far are we going?"

Spren met her halfway down the hallway. Hi! You’re safe, she declared proudly. 

—

“At least until the plateaus don’t exist anymore.”

Tam sighed.

"Hey. Did you . . . break a window?"

-

"Do they fade naturally over time or do they just not exist where we're going?"

…Whaaaa? 

Behind her, the window that now lay in broken panes slowly mended itself. She buzzed proudly around Tam’s head. 

—

“They fade naturally.”

She stared flatly at the window before walking fully into the kitchen again.

"So does that mean the waterfall moves and that new ground grows behind it?"

This is a well of unkeyed Plot; it keys to an already existing attribute of you when you bond it. So yeah, this seems good… (though I’m unsure how Atredies is thinking he can get Savior Complex…)

Rebus’s two blades (which he will then combine) should be a wickedly curved dagger and a long dueling rapier with lots of embellishments. They do have plot elements, but RAFO (and you likely will find out).

Aahhhh ok

so you each get a different blade… hmmmm

ok

@Dragonheir

As he approached, the blades solidified into two separate blades, each a void black.

@TwinStorm

As he approached, the blade solidified into a void black blade.

Here is a pic of the Tyrant guy…

Rebus searches the bosses for souls or whatever, then tosses the corpse of the skinny one at the elevator. 

Rebus steeples his fingers, thinking. “I think you mentioned something…” He takes an egg-sized device from his pocket. “This is a teleportation beacon; activate it if you remember so I can help.” 

"Alrighty," said Bacon, putting the egg in his hat.

Spren hovered. Be proud of me! I have ensured that you are safe!

"You're sharp. Yeah, somethin' like that."

"I was already safe."

She got a plate of eggs for Bat, then set them on the counter near the bowl.

He shrugged. "Just makes sense. Thanks."

There is a mark of darkness on all those afflicted. 

Bacon shrugged and conjured a winged hippopotamus.

Noooooooo....... you didn't KNOW that....................... but you know that now! No monsters!

They walked on for hours in silence. The plateaus dwindled and grew shorter, becoming few and far between.

Her first clenched around the fork it was holding.

"Thanks," she muttered, grimacing. She set the fork on Bat's plate.

You're welcome, she said, cheerfully. Oooooo, food?

More people were seen the further they went. Some of them were sitting, others walking. Of those who sat, only some looked up. 

Gaioh stepped a little closer to the group.

So what were yall planning exactly with the blades?

 

”No, for only one without a title can slay him.”

"Oh. But isn't "lowest of the low" a title?"

“Petty?” She snorted. “I just wanted to set something on fire, dummy.”

That sounds amazing

”Yeah, yeah, showoff.”

She gave him a thumbs up and did the same. 

“I do not worry about his betrayal.” She summoned him a glass of wine, then took another sip of his own. “I should be quite pitiful if I had to worry about his betrayal. The rabbit does pose a problem, though not for much longer. I will go parley soon.” 

Bat jumped. He set down the tattoo needle— his tattoos were just about completely refinished. “Okay.” 

Dontthinkaboutitdontthinkaboutitdontthinkaboutit. 

“Nope. I’ve gone a long ways and not found one. Got my own theories now.”

Rose flicked a bit of egg at him from across the table. “Stop looking like that,” she told him. “Why do you look like that, anyway?”

"Oh." he leaned back. "What happened in the fight with you, anyway. You didn't seem injured.

Gaioh stepped a little closer to the group. 

"Not for you! I don't think you can even eat!"

She stood over the eggs protectively.

-

"There are so many . . ."

Aw, but I want some! 

Bat came in, then smiled at Tam. "Hi! How'd you sleep?"

"Yup," Yrissa agreed. "It's very sad."

"You can't even eat it," she hissed.

Then she turned and smiled back at Bat, waving the little talking orb away. "I slept well. You?"

Speaking of which, she Narrated her hair into it's normal style. She'd noticed it earlier.

"Maybe . . . this is hell. If they just stay here forever . . ."

"I did too. Really well. I haven't slept like that for ages. Oh, is that for me?" 

Spren buzzed over to him, and he gave it a bemused look.

"That's what I've come to think," Yrissa agreed. "But you gotta convince 'em, you know?"

"They're a little cooler now, but still good."

"Thank you so much." He beamed at her, sat down, and began to eat. "These are fantastic."

"It's... complicated. I'll show you, here." She knelt by one of the people. 

Would you mind?

Atreides grasped the blade, which thrummed. Let me have you. he commanded silently. 

Here, ya shud be able to describe it as you imagine it…

As his hand grasped it, the surroundings shifted, and it came into full focus. He was suspended in a void with the blade.
