“Blankets, right? And chairs?”

"Oh, like a pillow fort? Yeah, that could be fun."

She finished washing her plate and set it on a rack to dry, then walked over and sat back at the table again.

He grinned hugely. “I’ll be right back.” 

Indeed he was, toting everything he could find from his room and the closets.

She cocked her head as he ran out, then grabbed his empty plate and took it to the sink. She washed it and put it on the rack next to hers, then cleaned the silverware as well.

When she was done, she rested her hands on the counter top and leaned over the basin.

Bat . . . he seemed so innocent at times. Emotionally inexperienced. Too emotional inexperienced to actually grasp how he felt in different situations.

Sometimes she wondered if he even understood what was going on.

Scud, sometimes she wondered if she even understood what was going on.

She supposed she couldn't judge him for being like that, all things considered.

Once the dishes were dry, she put them away with the others, then went back to the table.

Bat's notebook was sitting on it still. She saw it and reached for it, wondering . . .

But no. That was his private property, not hers.

She pulled back and left it alone.

ooooooOOOOOOOOOooooo 

And no, he has no idea whats going on  

He returned with a huge grin and a huge amount of blankets and pillows. He dumped them on the floor of the conjoined living room. 

“Okay, so how does this work?”

Heheheh

She watched him for a moment.

"You kinda just stack everything to make little hallways and rooms, I guess," she offered, walking over and looking at the assorted pile of sleep-related items.

"We could start with an entrance or something."

“Hallways and rooms,” he mumbled. “Right. And chairs.” He dragged over two chairs and draped a blanket over it. “Like this? I think?”

Atreides looked at Rebus for a second. Why should he have power? And he lunged at him with Savior Complex, all well the Blade chanted in his mind. Save lives! Save lives! Save lives!

@Dragonheir

Mat looked at the man again. "Why is the Tyrant need to be replaced? Is he that bad?"

@SpiritOfWrath

“Yes. He is. And even if he weren’t, you don’t understand. Someone needs to do it, someone needs to end the Cycle of challengers, and by doing so continue the Cycle of Tyrants.”

"Yeah." replied Perseus softly. "I think..." he screamed in pain suddenly, clutching his neck. "Stun...stung!" he gasped, falling to the ground. 

Ahead of them, several figures made of rippling darkness came out of the undergrowth. Shades. They threw ropes over Perseus, and hedged the rest in with spears.

They're immune to magic and Narration and can teleport btw

I don't believe so

Atriedes moved through the forms of a master swordsmen, as his speed and strength were enhanced by Savior Complex, which had begun to glow darkly.

Atreides appeared. "Honor and fame, eh? I can help you with that. The name's Atreides."

this is a clone of him, but if one is killed @Dragonheir then all of them die

Kion’s eyes go very wide. “Restoration! Incineration!” He says, trying to heal Perseus of the venom and set the shades on fire. 
Rebus closes his eyes, his blade flashing as he deflects blow after blow. He’s less skilled than Atredies, but fast. He leaps into the air on a pillar of utility fog, dropping down to attempt an overhand strike. The holographic warriors are less lucky, and are mostly cut to pieces as they charge Atredies with their glaives, maces, swords, and daggers.

Batlian?  

Balitan was a scientist from the trial Omen gave Rebus. Rebus liked working with him, and thus is seeking out or Narrating into existence the real Balitan.

Omen watches this all impassively. "Do you have any prior experience in trial-giving?"

Moni stared at the spears in horror, freezing in place. Palsu drew his sword, looking all around them wildly. "Perseus!" He shouted. "What did you do to him you monsters?"

Meat grins widely, and bursts into green flames. “I’ve been told I’m very trying!”

"Something like that, yeah."

She put a pillow on each of the chairs to keep the blanket from slipping off, then stacked some pillows in a box shape to form an entrance.

"Now we just do that a bunch more."

"Stunned him." one said impassively.

Moni's mouth moved slowly. "What," she managed to force out, "are you going to do to us?"

Meat grins widely, and bursts into green flames. “I’ve been told I’m very trying!” 

Omen nodded. "Very well. Let us see how skilled you are at trial-giving. If you would take my hand, I have procured a test subject." He extended a foggy hand to Meat.

Unintelligible took a moment to process all that had happened between the the 'master of destruction' and Rebus. Then he turned to Sequence. "Alright, I don't think we're going to learn anything else by standing around in an abandoned burning castle. Ready to go invite the next threat out to tea?"

@Sequence

Sequence looked dazed, everything was moving much too fast for her to keep up... 
(Sorry that for whatever reason I seem to be active when y'all aren't and inactive when you are )
"Oh dear... Uh... Yeah, I suppose so." Sequence knelt down to lift a small piece of rubble off the ground, pulling the tea bag she had given to Ruia out and looking around for a spot to put it where it wouldn't catch on fire. Unable to find a sufficient spot, she waved her hand and some stone fragments fashioned themselves into a container of sorts, which Sequence put the tea in. 

"Alright," she said, standing up and dusting off her hands. "Where to next?"

"Um, I guess we can move on to one of the other threats to the thread. Not sure who's available actually. One of them died, and Desolation's still, you know, very dangerous."

Meat does a handstand and offers his foot for Omen to take.

Omen grabs Meat's foot, and fog envelops both of them.

Meat appears in front of a nervous-looking man holding a sword. Omen's voice echoes to him. "This is the volunteer, the brave adventurer. Test him as you would any who seek the Dreamsmith."

“Wait, who’s that?” Meat shrugs, cackles, then springs over to the Brave Adventurer, slinking around him. “You seek me, Meat the Minstrel, and the Dreamsmith, he who hits dreams with a hammer and makes them about demon elevators? Take my nose, and be thrust into the realm of madnessssendam!” 
Definitely a valuable employee.

The brave adventurer stared at Meat with a mixture of confusion and horror. “Take your… nose?”

Indeed. Meat the Minstrel was what happens when I write with a fever - Bacon’s lost memories turned twisted and absurd. 

Just now, NameIess said:

The brave adventurer stared at Meat with a mixture of confusion and horror. “Take your… nose?”

Meat cackles again, then takes hold of his own nose and crumbles into a pile of char, burning oil floating in orbs where his eyes were. They float to either side of the brave adventurer, and Meat’s voice echoes and screeches from all directions. “You are to ready the for test? I’d be penniless otherwise, syaw ynam ni!” He cackles again.

The forest beyond was rather loud. Many crickets chirped from the trees and wouldn't shut up despite how light it was Birdcalls cheerfully rang through the forest as well, and orderly glowing mushrooms lit the pathway.

So many crickets . . .

"What a curious place," Alora said, looking around.
