[Through The Living Glass She/They]

Tam was getting really stressed out.

She really wanted to follow Bat and see if she could help -and also, y'know-

-make sure he did try anything.

But she also didn't want to leave all this people alone together . . .

. . .

She looked at Peter and Val. @NameIess @Kajsa

Come get me if anyone starts fighting, got it?

Then she headed out the back door to find Bat.

Rebus nods to the figure. “Ah. I’d suspected this would happen, though I admit I forgot about the duel. I’m a fan of your work, as I mentioned to Balitan here.” He smiled, then winked. “As for caution, I learned my lesson after feeding that rabbit Plotblades. Though I don’t have access to any Prismite not tied to me, so I have little choice.” 

Ah, a man of history. I knew I liked you. And you're researching the secrets of the fundamental essences as well. I can be of help to you.

What do you think Narrators usually do? she asked curiously.

"Create stories, meddle in the background, destroy the entire Thread and remake it every few hundred pages. That sort of thing."

Tam eyed all the newcomers . . .

She should really follow Bat- but scud she didn't want to leave all these people together in one room.

She would go in a second.

Bat closed the door and turned to meet the large blue eyes of a slightly glowing dragon. He yelped, scrambling back.

"Sorry! Sorry," the dragon apologized, but she sounded a little amused. "Didn't mean to scare you." 

Bat glanced back at the door. "I didn't expect to see you." 

She tilted her head. "Really? Why'd you come out here then?" 

"I..." He had been hoping to see her, and that was why he'd come out. 

"Anyway," the dragon said, curling up on a cat tree, "What's up?" 

He looked down at his feet. "I dunno," he mumbled. 

"Come on," she coaxed. "Talk to me." 

With a deep breath, he looked up at the sky. "I... I'm tired," he whispered. "And it's... we're not doing anything. I'm trying to fix her, but I'm getting nowhere, and who knows what's happening to my home right now........ but she doesn't want to do anything. And I feel so stuck." 

"And......" He rubbed his eyes with his hand. "I don't know what she... really thinks of me. Or if she's just using me... or if her Author is just using me... I'm so sick of not doing anything." 

The dragon nodded. "To be honest, I don't like when there's no drama either. So personally, I think you should tell her all that." She grinned. 

Bat gave her a flat stare. 

"What? At least I'm being honest!" 

"Yeah, well..." He looked down at his hands. 

She jumped off the cat tree, growing larger as she landed and nosed his face. "Hey. It's gonna be okay. Probably." 

He looked at her and snorted, realizing just how ridiculous this was. "Thanks." 

"Yeah. Of course." She turned into a scaly person and hugged him. Her scales were weirdly warm.

"Her vitals aren't stable, and the chemicals in her brain are... far more extreme than should be possible. I need a blood sample."

@Halcyon The Only

A golden scaly person yelped and vanished, along with the cat tree behind her. 

A note fluttered down. Look at that paper I gave you every now and then. 

Then it burned into ash.

Tam blinked, then shook her head and walked over to Bat.

What was that about?

"A little bit of both." Val said. "On the one hand, it's nice to see that even Narrators can have common goals. On the other, isn't it a bit unfair to the common adventurers?"

He stared at her for a second, then started and switched the thingie back on. How’s everything in there?

Not recently. Usually, that would be the case, but . . . we just keep facing enemies who aren't affected by my powers. I can't do anything, and I end up a liability . . . she shrugged.

Just now, Halcyon The Only said:

She shrugged. I told Peter and Val to come get me if anyone starts fighting, so . . . I'm sure it's fine.

What was that all about, anyway? she repeated, pointing to the spot where the golden person had been hugging Bat.

"Enemies that aren't affected by your powers? I find that hard to believe. You're a Narrator."

She snorted. I kinda wish they didn't exist, but . . . they do. Unfortunate in most cases, but overall they're generally fine people, the Ennullers. Plus Bat's people have tattoos that make them invulnerable to Narration, so that's annoying.

He groaned. "I'll try. But its likely she's gonna flip. I hope you know that" he told her as he began to walk away. "Heeey Five" he said, trying to sound comforting. "Look, I'm gonna level  with you. You aren't gonna like it, and neither will I. I can do it if you want, but the doctor lady over there needs some blood. She thinks that there might be something wrong. I wanna avoid it, but I said I'd help you and protect you this is how it's gotta be. Can you do this for me?" he asked, staying in the softest tone he knew

She stared at him and squeezed her blanket. “A… blood… needles?” She whispered. “No, no, don’t touch me…”

Irie walked over.

"Five?" she said softly, sitting next to the girl. "He's right . . . we need to make sure you're okay . . ."

She thought for a moment.

"Would you . . . try something with me real quick? Just for a second?"

Rebus smiled. “Good, I like it when people like me. And when they help me. How did you end up as a deactivated core? I’m trying to establish more qualities than light/dark and order/chaos, so the ability to turn Prismite off is both intriguing, and fairly worrying. Though I suppose I’ve gone without my soul before.”

"Enullers?" Val's eyebrows lifted. "Haven't met any of those either. But they aren't unaffected by Narration. And I doubt these tattoos can make anyone totally invulnerable to Narration. Sure, they might be resistant, just like Enullers are resistant. But not immune."

That's a fair point. But usually they just revoke the Narration I place anyway, or Nullify my power before I can do anything, et cetera . . .
