I definitely know the feeling," she chuckled sadly.

Cause it's technically da scribe but turtle dragon form!" "Da Scribe? Who is that?" 15 hours ago, Dragonheir said: But *lasers* Rebus sips his own wine, smiling to himself. “Perhaps. Mordite is worrying, however. And that rabbit does not parlay. I did try; I thought it would work for me if I promised it food.” Rebus reaches out, not with his hand, but with his mind. You are me now. I am yours, and you are mine. I bond you. The two blades disappear, and coalesce in his hands. One is short and curved dangerously, more a dagger than a sword. The other is long, thin, and ornate, glittering with inner light. One corner of Rebus’s mouth turns up as he brings his hands together, the two Plotblades colliding with a flash of light and burst of noise. They meld into one, long but wide, with a curved twist just before the point for hooking swords or slashing strikes. It has ornate quillions that look sharp themselves, and the relatively long hilt ends in a jewel that tapers to a sharp point. Hello, the sword says in Rebus’s mind. I think this will be an interesting partnership. Rebus smiles broader, swinging the Plotblade to adjust to the balance. Or, truly, to become unadjusted to the claymore, as his fighting style from earlier perfectly matches the blade. “I agree. This will be very interesting.” Wait, Bacon wears a hat? Huh. A top hat, flamboyantly decorated. 14 hours ago, NameIess said: "Darkness would make sense for him, considering he was the Witherlord." Subversion watched the Enuller out of the corner of her eye. "Or is he the Witherlord? Is he even still alive? I haven't been keeping up with events." He is no longer the Witherlord, thank goodness. That mantle has been banished beyond recovery. More fortunately, he has remained passive since then. 14 hours ago, NameIess said: -- Palsu peered down the end of the tunnel. "I think I see the exit!" He called. "We're almost out of the cave." @TwinStorm @Dragonheir -- Malevolence was at his base in the midst of a herd of rabbits, feeling fear more powerful than any he'd felt before. He saw in the beast's dark eyes something he did not understand. Hunger was a simple thing, easy to understand and control. But beyond the endless hunger, buried so deep that he suspected the rabbits themselves were not fully aware of it, there was just... emptiness. He couldn't explain it, but it was perhaps the most unnerving thing he'd ever seen. Of course, the fact that they were discussing whether or not to eat him had something to do with his fear as well. He does not know where the paper is! What good is a reader that cannot find the paper? A rabbit with streaks of grey through its fur seemed to be the most outspoken of Malevolence's critics. could not decide whether it did not trust him or was simply more ravenous than the rest of the herd. A rabbit all of black answered the grey-streaked rabbit sharply. We need this reader. He will find the paper. Malevolence thought that it was best he intervene in this conversation before it went any further down an unfortunate path. "I can find the paper." He said smoothly. "The lost page of the book of Unwinding Thread? I can find it." He held up a finger, glad he was able to keep his voice from wavering before the unblinking stares of the rabbits. "But first, I need information. you said this was the lost page of the book of Unwinding Thread. Does that mean there are other pages not lost? Is most of the book found?" The rabbits stared at him. Then they turned to one another and began speaking in their rabbity language. Malevolence sweated nervously, hoping he'd be able to teleport away in time when they attacked, when the grey-streaked rabbit finally spoke to him. We will take you to the wind. The wind will answer your questions. Malevolence blinked. "The... wind?" And so it was that Malevolence found himself standing in an open field in the middle of who-knows where (besides the rabbits, obviously) surrounded by rabbits calling for the wind. Wind! Wind! We have brought a reader! @xinoehp512 The wind breathed a laugh. "I am in all places, hungry ones- not just this one. Now. Seeker of Evil. You have questions to ask of me?"

Unintelligible looked at Rebus. "No, I didn't." 1 hour ago, Sequence said: Sequence summoned a chair beside hers for Unintelligible, gently patting his shoulder. "Relax a bit, we'll be alright," she said. Aelinor, however, seemed to be sharing Unintelligible's mindset with her tense stance and distrustful gaze. "If you say so." Unintelligible made no move towards any of the drinks Ruia had offered. 7 minutes ago, xinoehp512 said: He is no longer the Witherlord, thank goodness. That mantle has been banished beyond recovery.

I suppose he could have had something to do with erasing those people from existence. Have you asked him about it?" 9 minutes ago, xinoehp512 said: The wind breathed a laugh. "I am in all places, hungry ones- not just this one. Now. Seeker of Evil. You have questions to ask of me?" "Er, yes." Malevolence looked around nervously. "I wanted to know about the book of Unwinding Thread. The rabbits want me to find them the lost page from it. Are there pages that are not lost? Do you know where the book itself is?'
