Welcome to the glorious Machination. You’re never leaving, so we might as well enjoy it!” Rebus nods. “I shall use only the powers of my Blade and my training.” He summons it back into his hand, hoping Atredies will take the hint and realize he could have done the same. He summoned Savior Complex, feeling its power, and saluted Rebus. 2 minutes ago, Through The Living Glass said: She sniffed and nodded, breathing heavily. awww wait that's so good *hug* She wiped her eyes. "Can't you just . . . teleport to him or something? Yours works differently than mine . . ." "I'll try." he said, hugging her one final time. He teleported to Bat. @Halcyon The Only

Thanks Took me more than 20 minutes... 1 minute ago, KnightSkye said: Cadewyn slept, a deep, dark sleep, thankfully. yeah, he is just gonna sleep either till morning or something wakes him. The sun rose and Eepy got up to find some foods. Just now, TwinStorm said: He summoned Savior Complex, feeling its power, and saluted Rebus. "I'll try." he said, hugging her one final time. He teleported to Bat. @Halcyon The Only He sat in front of a steep drop with a deep pool of water beneath, thoughtfully rubbing a small square piece of paper between his fingers. They'd arrived behind him, so he didn't see them yet.

Through the Living Heir he/him Posted January 31, 2025 Posted January 31, 2025 8 minutes ago, TwinStorm said: He summoned Savior Complex, feeling its power, and saluted Rebus. Rebus swings his Plotblade is a return salute, the long, ornate sword flashing. It’d been empowering him the entire time, but now, with it in his hand, he feels fully prepared and full of power. He begins to walk forwards, spinning the blade in figure eights as he fully draws upon the power. 8 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said: "Might as well," she agreed cheerfully, grinning. The mercenaries smile and cheer, talking about the cell’s layout, introducing some people, mentioning their last jobs, speculating on what the Ghost will have them do next. It’s a rowdy conversation, but these people take her in pretty much immediately.

Spren fluttered through the forest and found Tam. @Through The Living Glass
Through The Living Glass She/They Posted January 31, 2025 Posted January 31, 2025 (edited) Cricket?! Is- is he okay?! Tam asked, panic-stricken. P-please say he's okay- actually, no, what does it look like where you are? I-I CAN COME INSTEAD-! I NEED TO MAKE SURE HE'S OKAY FOR MYSELF! CRICKET?! CRICKET!! @TwinStorm 3 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said: Spren fluttered through the forest and found Tam. @Through The Living Glass She was too distraught to notice.

She asked the guy next to her. “Money, excitement, power, immortality. It’s a closed loop, though. They let us buy things and live here, without death, but without Fuel? Our hearts, lungs, brains, limbs simply stop.”

Through The Living Glass She/They Posted January 31, 2025 Posted January 31, 2025 Just now, Halcyon The Only said: Nah, he's just rubbing his paper and thinking She turned and saw Bat sitting on the ledge. Her first thought was one of relief, the second that immediately followed it was sheer panic- again. The third was the realization that he wasn't . . . doing anything. He was just sitting there, messing with something in his hands. She pulled on her hair anxiously and walked toward him as quietly as possible, not wanting to startle him. "Bat?" she whispered once she was a few feet away, prepared to catch him in case he jumped.

"Bat?" she whispered once she was a few feet away, prepared to catch him in case he jumped. He jumped badly and looked up. "Oh... Tam, hi, I... I was just about to come back." He carefully got to his feet, stepping away from the edge. "I'm... sorry."

I was just about to come back." He carefully got to his feet, stepping away from the edge. "I'm... sorry." Immediately she grabbed his arms and pulled him as far away from the dark abyss as she could. Then she wrapped her arms around him and pulled him close. Sobbing into his chest, she just stood there and let it all out, unable to do much else and very much traumatized. She realized distantly that she'd never hugged anyone so tightly before . . . but felt like if she didn't, he might disappear again and she would never get him back.
Through the Living Heir he/him Posted January 31, 2025 Posted January 31, 2025 Just now, Halcyon The Only said: "Sure will!" The group turns back to eating, and the rowdy conversation turns to lighter matters. Rebus shows up at Ruia’s palace, and begins repairing the damage from the earthquake. He knows that teleporting directly to her might not go well.

His chest thudded, then ached dully. He started to cry too. He reached up to turn the transmitter back on. Tam, I'm so sorry. I... I don't know what happened, I promise I won't do that ever again...... He squeezed her, stepping further from the edge, and stroked her hair. I'm okay. I'm okay now. I'm sorry.

"Hello," she said. "You don't need to bother with my palace. I'll fix it again if I need to."
NameIess Posted January 31, 2025 Posted January 31, 2025 5 hours ago, Dragonheir said: The laboratory is sleek and futuristic, black surfaces with tron lines running through them and white tables with tools, samples, and open spaces. 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.” "I see." Balitan nodded approvingly at the laboratory equipment. Well he's clearly crazy. But this lab is top-notch, and if he has samples of the fundamental substances... "I'll work with you. Do I get an office somewhere?" 4 hours ago, Halcyon The Only said: She smiled and dissolved into gray ash. Him watched her go, then prepared his own multiversal pressure washer wand and vanished to begin cleaning TLT.
