"Nah," he said. "Was, maybe. But I don't think you're a god. Just a witch." He grinned. 

-

She smiled gratefully and went nom. 

She snorted and laughed.

Wow, thanks, she grinned sarcastically.

Shall I turn you into a frog, then? Make you fall in love with a tree? she said in a British accent.

-

Irie watched with satisfaction.

"Did they . . . give you much food, ever?"

Nom

"I know I was fortunate," he said softly. 

No prob

"Hmm." Lise nodded thoughtfully. "All right. Let's talk a bit about you now. What do you want?" 

"Nah," he said. "Was, maybe. But I don't think you're a god. Just a witch." He grinned. 

-

She smiled gratefully and went nom. 

She frowned and touched his forehead with her good hand, but she still couldn't heal him. She clenched her teeth. "I'll try again tomorrow. See you, then." 

“I don’t know. Right now, the ability to move freely”

"Good." Cadewyn sat back, letting Eepy clamber around as she saw fit. "Now, will you tell me how you got here, or where and what the place is?"

"I was brought here by another of your kind. Some magician. She said this is her preserve."

Nom 

He gagged. 

No no no no no. I don't want to be a frog. 

Fall in love with a tree? How does that work? What would I even love about it??

“I don’t know. Right now, the ability to move freely”

She folded her arms. "I mean... you did assault my teammate."

She laughed harder.

I don't know! Those just sound like . . . WITCHY things, y'know?

Bat the frog, she snickered.

-

"Did they feed you much . . . ?" Irie asked Five.

Stop, he groaned, hiding his face in his free hand. I don't wanna be a frog, ew.

"Every day," she replied, nodding. 

[Through the Living Heir he/him]

1 hour ago, Halcyon The Only said:

She beamed. "Yes! Yes, excellent plan!" 

Rebus opened a portal to the nearest metropolis. It wasn’t how he usually teleported, but he thought it might be less abrupt. 

1 hour ago, NameIess said:

“Hm. Since you won’t confirm the existence of any evil goals, perhaps you could tell us about your regular goals?”

—

“I have learned much. But first, you said you had Nullite?”

Rebus looks slightly disappointed he cannot continue being evasive. “I want to do interesting things, have a legacy, stay alive, that sort of thing. I’ll leave the logical leaps towards my motive as an exercise for those who’ve already had their identity crises.” 

“I do, yes. I want to hear what you have so far, though I suppose we can set up something time-consuming first.”

She swam closer and eyed it curiously.

"Every day," she replied, nodding. 

She grinned and turned into a tree frog.

-

". . . How often, every day?"

[Through the Living Heir he/him]

Just now, Halcyon The Only said:

She swam closer and eyed it curiously. 

It leads into a big city, either modern or slightly futuristic. There are tons of people bustling around, mostly modern-day humans but - because this is TLT - there are some more magical people about.

"I was brought here by another of your kind. Some magician. She said this is her preserve." 

"Her. OK. Do you know where she is?"

He jumped.

.....

well, as long as he wasn't the frog... he picked her up. 

-

"...once? I think? It was hard to tell."

Her mouth fell open. "There are so many," she whispered. 

3 minutes ago, KnightSkye said:

"Her. OK. Do you know where she is?"

He snorted. "Nope."

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

Just now, Halcyon The Only said:

He jumped.

-

"...once? I think? It was hard to tell." 

She giggled.

I thought I was supposed to do the jumping!

She squinted at him.

Hmm . . .

-

". . . I can't say I'm shocked, but . . . we'll definitely make sure to feed you more."

[Through the Living Heir he/him]

2 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said:

Her mouth fell open. "There are so many," she whispered. 

“You haven’t seen anything yet.” Rebus takes her by the hand and pulling her through the portal and into the sky. The city sprawls below them, thousands of streets like the one she’d been gawking at laid out below them. 

[NameIess]

1 hour ago, Through The Living Glass said:

Tam sat up and wiped her eyes, embarrassed now that someone else had walked in.

You- you do look kinda familiar, she told him.

 

1 hour ago, Halcyon The Only said:

Bat sat up too. "Hey," he said. "I don't know. Maybe?" 

The Valiant One narrowed his eyes. "You do seem familiar, but I can't place where I've seen you before." He shrugged. "Anyways, what are your names? I'm called the Valiant One. I'm an adventurer." The Valiant  One looked between Bat and Tam, blessedly ignorant as to their conversation but still able to see their facial expressions and hear their laughter. "I assume you're both telepathic?"

11 minutes ago, Dragonheir said:

Rebus looks slightly disappointed he cannot continue being evasive. “I want to do interesting things, have a legacy, stay alive, that sort of thing. I’ll leave the logical leaps towards my motive as an exercise for those who’ve already had their identity crises.” 

Malevolence nodded. "Not a totally pathetic motivation. Far from the worst I've heard."

15 minutes ago, Dragonheir said:

“I do, yes. I want to hear what you have so far, though I suppose we can set up something time-consuming first.” 

Balitan pulled out a notebook and flipped through the pages. "So far, I have confirmed the structure of Prismite, tested the rate at which it is used up by various applications of Narrative abilities, and confirmed the density of the sample you gave me. I would say rather low, if my math is correct." He looked up at Rebus. "What tasks did you have for me?"

[KnightSkye Reforged They/Them]

6 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said:

He snorted. "Nope."

"Was it the same for you Eepy?"

[Existential]

36 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said:

He gagged. 

No no no no no. I don't want to be a frog.

She folded her arms. "I mean... you did assault my teammate." 

“And I’d do it again. I just want to go somewhere and think. Quietly.” He said, closing his eyes and trying to ignore the people around him. “When you’ve been in a quiet dark rook as long as I have, this gets pretty overwhelming pretty quick”

To some degree, yes. I'm Tam.

Irie dimmed the lights.

It wasn't completely dark, but it was significantly darker.

Oh gosh. No, please, he laughed.

"More?" 

4 minutes ago, Dragonheir said:

“You haven’t seen anything yet.” Rebus takes her by the hand and pulling her through the portal and into the sky. The city sprawls below them, thousands of streets like the one she’d been gawking at laid out below them. 

"Wow," she breathed. "Gosh, that's...... amazing. There are so MANY of them......."

Lise nodded. "We can leave you alone, if you'd like."

Irie dimmed the lights.

-

"More?" 

She smiled and turned him into a bat.

Bat bat! I sound like a child saying that- Bat the bat?

Going to assume this happened separately from Nameless' conversation

-

She nodded and took in Five's thin frame.

"Much more. Er- a healthy amount, at least."

[Through the Living Heir he/him]

Rebus raised an eyebrow. “What motivation do you have? Be good at being evil because I was told to?” 

Rebus steepled his fingers, nodding along. “I didn’t even consider density, though I suppose that makes sense. My harvesting process is rather questionable - I think Luxite would improve it significantly. And a Narrator cores being conduits for power is something I should consider as well… What I’m trying to do is find and alter between other qualities of fundamental power, besides light/dark and order/chaos.” 

2 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said:

"Wow," she breathed. "Gosh, that's...... amazing. There are so MANY of them......."

Rebus nods. “There are. And this is only one city, albeit a large one.” 

[Existential]

"Wow," she breathed. "Gosh, that's...... amazing. There are so MANY of them......."

Bat nodded. "Kinda. Well... she is." 

She nodded. 

Lise nodded. "We can leave you alone, if you'd like." 

 

“… look, if You wanna ask me questions, you can. I’ll tell you what I know and remember. Just not one on on, have 4 people, and dim the lights. And take the restraints off.”

Irie looked at Aden and raised an eyebrow. All of those conditions -save the last one- had been met already, now that she had dimmed the lights.

11 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said:

She nodded. 

"How many other enclaves of dragons do you two know of?" 

[NameIess]

6 minutes ago, Through The Living Glass said:

To some degree, yes. I'm Tam.

2 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said:

Bat nodded. "Kinda. Well... she is." 

"Nice to meet you both." The Valiant One offered a handshake to them.

3 minutes ago, Dragonheir said:

Rebus raised an eyebrow. “What motivation do you have? Be good at being evil because I was told to?” 

Malevolence smiled at Rebus, but hatred behind his eyes. "I will discover the deep secrets of evil. I will rule this thread, and reshape it into my image. I will follow my own desires, not those imposed on me by others."

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

2 minutes ago, NameIess said:

"Nice to meet you both." The Valiant One offered a handshake to them.

Tam hesitated for a moment, then shook it.

What brings you here?

Hopefully he wasn't a villain . . .
