Irie saw the sign and laughed. 

"Ha! You heard 'em, Aden!"

-

Tam glared harder at her, then suddenly stopped.

A wicked smile split her face.

Careful, Rose, she warned. You're under my power, now.

And scud, did that feel good to say.

“Bet that was Roto,” he muttered, but let up off the gas. “We’ll be there in just a bit,” he told everyone. 

Five frowned. She just wanted to drive like this forever. 

-

A shiver ran down her spine— a trickle of abject terror. She lifted her chin. “I know,” she snapped. 

2 minutes ago, Kajsa said:

He nodded. "Good to know we're not intruding, then." He glanced at Rose again. "What happened to you? You look bloody awful."

"Peter," Ana scolded from the window.

He stuck his tongue out at her, and she shot a rude gesture back in his direction. He snickered, then turned back to Rose, eyebrows raised. 

please excuse ana
she can be a little rough around the edges
she just went through a really messy breakup after getting her head busted open so she's not exactly in a good mood  

“Fought a monster. Cricket killed it in the end.”

She shrugged, still smiling.

Tam's a girl, fyi 

She nodded.

oops

pronouns are hard

I SWEAR I KNEW THAT BUT I KEEP FORGETTING BECAUSE I READ KOTLC AS A CHILD

Ana frowned, stepping back just a little. "I'll keep that in mind. Thanks."

“Fought a monster. Cricket killed it in the end.”

"Oh. That checks. Fought my fair share of them too." He casually flexed his muscles.

Irie grinned and looked over at Five.

"How are you feeling now, Five?"

-

She took a couple steps towards Rose, grinning wider.

Do you now? Really? It doesn't seem like you do.

Tam shrugged and walked away. If she didn't want help, Tam wouldn't help her.

Starlight tipped his head back and laughed. "Called OUT" he jested

That was refreshing. At least some people still had the decency to actually use their brains. She turned back to the window, arms crossed.

That was . . . a really normal, casual thing to say.

Gosh, this guy wasn't kidding when he said he was unstable. Two minutes ago he'd been crying, for heaven's sake!

“Not interested,” Rose informed him. “Unless you can also make a sword out of pure energy. And get up even shredded by bullets. Comparatively, you’re really not impressive.” She walked away.

“Good.” She smiled.

Rose stepped back, panic rising in her throat. “Get away from me.”

Bat followed her.

"Maybe not, but you still have SAFE DRIVING HABITS THAT EXIST" he bellowed out before breaking down laughing

51 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said:

“Oh… well, I’m not scary, I promise!”

I’d offer Lady Bug for the ball of darkness but uh  

“You do seem nice.” 
Yeah, she’d probably fix all its problems and leave me with no story anyway. 

45 minutes ago, NameIess said:

The laser deflected off the sphere, splitting into a multitude of rays that harmlessly dissipated against the force fields.

Rebus chuckled, turning to Balitan. “I suppose it’s called Prismite for a reason. Shall we try a better laser?” 

[kajsa ㅇㅅㅇ she/her]

Just now, Halcyon The Only said:

“Not interested,” Rose informed him. “Unless you can also make a sword out of pure energy. And get up even shredded by bullets. Comparatively, you’re really not impressive.” She walked away. 

"...ouch," he muttered, then called after her, "That's fine. I prefer blondes anyway." He leaned back against the table. 

idk if rose is blonde or not but uh ykw taking a gamble lol

“It’s not speeding whrn theres no speed limit!”

Irie smiled back.

"I'm glad, Five."

-

Scud, this felt really good.

She stalked closer, a genuinely giddy smile on her face.

No.

-

She didn't go anywhere, she was just stepping back.

-

"I mean- true, but it's still wayyyyyy too fast!"

Rebus chuckled, turning to Balitan. “I suppose it’s called Prismite for a reason. Shall we try a better laser?” 

"I am uncertain whether that would be helpful. Could you summon your Narrationblade for a moment?"

[kajsa ㅇㅅㅇ she/her]

She beamed. "Thank you! Where are you going?" 

Heh I meant cuz she's dead

"Thanks," she said softly.

"Go away," she said, voice quivering. She backed into the wall and fumbled for her sword hilt. 

"Tam..." Bat looked rather concerned. 

-

"No," he grumbled.

"...ouch," he muttered, then called after her, "That's fine. I prefer blondes anyway." He leaned back against the table. 

The Valiant One walked into the room and waved at the new person. "Oh, hello! You're new."

[Existential]

He rolled his eyes. "Getaway driver is a subjective term, if you are driving anywhere you could call yourself that"

[Through the Living Heir he/him]

3 minutes ago, NameIess said:

"I am uncertain whether that would be helpful. Could you summon your Narrationblade for a moment?"

Rebus nods. “I’ll try a portal cut, then the Blade.” He opens a portal to the other side of the room, and sticks the sphere into it, then closes the portal while it’s half and half. 

1 minute ago, Halcyon The Only said:

She beamed. "Thank you! Where are you going?" 

Heh I meant cuz she's dead 

“I was going to go to work…” 

Rebus idly considered whether or not to get Everet fired so he can come with them. 
*blink* What?! Oh wait, she disintegrated… Who’s running the preserve then?

well technically he is but i have plans so he's off limits

The Valiant One walked into the room and waved at the new person. "Oh, hello! You're new."

Peter nodded. "Yep. Ana can't get a hold on her magic."

"Do you WANT to have a black eye?" Ana growled from the window.

"You're free to try, sweetheart."

She scowled back at him. "You're obnoxious."

Peter grinned at The Valiant One, arms crossed against his chest, still leaning casually back against the table. "I'm Obnoxious. Who are you?"

Tam ignored him.

I don't think I want to, she cooed.

She lunged forward suddenly and pinned Rose's hands to the wall with her own.

This is fun! What should I turn you into first, I wonder . . . ? she mused.

-

She just chuckled.

Peter nodded. "Yep. Ana can't get a hold on her magic."

"Do you WANT me to beat you up?" Ana growled from the window.

"You're free to try."

She scowled back at him. "You're obnoxious."

Peter grinned at The Valiant One, arms crossed against his chest, still leaning casually back against the table. "I'm Obnoxious. Who are you?"

"I'm... Val." Said the Valiant One. "No, wait, Ian. Yes, Ian. That's what you can call me." He looks at Rose and Tam. "Any idea why they're arguing?"

Just now, Dragonheir said:

Rebus nods. “I’ll try a portal cut, then the Blade.” He opens a portal to the other side of the room, and sticks the sphere into it, then closes the portal while it’s half and half. 

The portal's edge hits the sphere and shatters. The sphere itself is left on the other side of the room, undamaged. "I wasn't going to suggest cutting it, necessarily." Balitan walked over and picked the sphere up. "I just wanted to scan your Narrationblade to see if the Prismite organization was similar to the sphere's. If it is, then we could use your Narrationblade as a safer testing subject."

 

[kajsa ㅇㅅㅇ she/her]

Just now, NameIess said:

 "I'm... Val." Said the Valiant One. "No, wait, Ian. Yes, Ian. That's what you can call me." He looks at Rose and Tam. "Any idea why they're arguing?"

"Nope. I'm as clueless as you are, mate." He paused. "Looks like it's gonna get real ugly real fast, though. Just wait till they start pulling each others' hair."

"Considering that she's a Narrator, I doubt Rose will be so lucky." The Valiant One walked over to Tam and grabbed her shoulder. "Hey! What's this all about?"

"Tam!" Bat grabbed her shoulders and pulled her away. "Please. Leave her alone. You don't know what it feels like." 

"I'm fine," Rose growled, though she was quite visibly trembling. "I'm fine."
