She laid on her side in the dirt and leaves. I can't . . . I can't do this anymore, Bat . . . He felt every muscle in his body sudden and lock up. He swallowed painfully. There it was. Right there… I… I don’t know, was all he could offer. There had to be a reason. There had to be something he was missing— there had to be something. I wish we could forget, he admitted. Or… or I wish… I wish I understood. Why they do this. Why I… we… what we are, I… I don’t even know what I am. Words don’t… I can’t just be words. There’s got to be something else to me. Words don’t feel like this. Words don’t… wonder what snowbanks felt like. Wonder what would happen if their Author died. Wonder if it might be better for her to lose interest and move on. Words didn’t feel so alive. There’s got to be something to us. Or else… or else they wouldn’t let us feel this way. Maybe they don’t even understand. He squeezed his eyes shut.

It wasn't your fault, dummy." *quietly skips seven pages* "If Bat had been there, she wouldn't have run off!" 13 hours ago, Dragonheir said: Atreides’s arm abruptly jerks to a stop, and Rebus takes his hand and grabs his wrist, forcing him to drop the knife via a pressure point. The knife falls, then moves too fast and stops in mid-air. Rebus calmly catches it. “I’m sure you’re familiar with this device, though I should like to change the rules again after a few moments of this.” Atreides growled, bringing his other fist towards Rebus. 13 hours ago, NameIess said: “Very well. I shall cal you when I have need.” Omen nodded again. “Excellent job on the trial, I must say. You’re the best candidate I’ve interviewed so far.” Moni ducked to the side. “Just give it up before they kill you!” Palsu charged the Shade from the side, swinging his sword for its head. The Shade calmly turned, disappearing behind Palsu, and grabbing him from behind, forcing him to drop his blade. "Surrender, or they die."
Through the Living Heir he/him Posted January 31, 2025 Posted January 31, 2025 37 minutes ago, TwinStorm said: Atreides growled, bringing his other fist towards Rebus. Rebus takes the punch to his face, but without much effect. His skin is still enhanced by nanomachines, and the speed cap reduces the impact. He brings a similarly slowed fist at Atredies, frowning. “What are you planning to do if you win this?” @NameIess, do you want to bring Balitan to Rebus or doing something with Rebel? @Halcyon The Only Ruia wakes up in a different room, lying on a table. Her left side feels numb and strange.
NameIess Posted January 31, 2025 Posted January 31, 2025 8 hours ago, Halcyon The Only said: She smiled. “You’d be shocked by the things I don’t find distasteful.” The Scourer nodded solemnly. “Very well.” He pulled forth an ancient scroll. “This is the scroll of Clyaneng. It teaches the ways of wiping free the grime that accumulates in all universes, the grime caused by life.” He unrolled the scroll of Clyaneng with utmost care, and read the opening sentences. “The first step is the flood of cleansing waters.” He handed Ruia a wand made from bright grey metal, with a tip surrounded in gold. “This is the wand of Prishor. Take it, and begin the cleansing.” He held up a finger warningly. “But take care. That wand is dangerous. It could drown you as easily as it cleans the filth from this universe.” 1 hour ago, TwinStorm said: *quietly skips seven pages* "If Bat had been there, she wouldn't have run off!" Atreides growled, bringing his other fist towards Rebus. The Shade calmly turned, disappearing behind Palsu, and grabbing him from behind, forcing him to drop his blade. "Surrender, or they die." Moni sighed. “Fine.” She shoved Endings back into its sheath and held up her hands. 46 minutes ago, Dragonheir said: Rebus takes the punch to his face, but without much effect.

I do not consider myself to be a fool.” He walks through the massive laboratory as he speaks, lit intermittently by lines of light traveling through the floor. “I called you because I know of your expertise in the fundamental substances. I have worked with you before, though not in reality.”

I have worked with you before, though not in reality.” Balitan examined the laboratory with interest. He was a short man, with black hair and vibrant violet eyes. He wore a grey lab coat, and wore a pair of spectacles on his face. "I would not call myself an expert on fundamental substances. I have an interest in the subject, but have thus far struggled with procuring them in sufficient quantities for study." He adjusted his spectacles. "Did you say you were a scientist? You worked with me in another reality?"

Rebus’s own coat and other clothing matches the room, though the glowing lines through them are stationary and only orange. “I am indeed a scientist, and I have samples of Nullite and Prismtite. I met a version of you in a trial - a projection of the future, aiming to teach me caution. Hence recruiting people to advise me, rather than blinding forging ahead.” 46 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said: She sat up, rubbing her side. Strange indeed. Her left hand, and a connecting strip down her the inside of her arm, is unfeeling, made from black metal.
