“Don’t wanna. Stupid cabin is lonely.” She banged her head on the bar again. 

“Help me with what?” She snapped. 

“No.”

Ruia didn’t know what to say. 

Friend… that was… novel, to say the least. 

DONT TAKE REVERSION I WANNA KEEP IT  

She shrank back. “I- I’m Five… call me Five.”

"C'mon. There's beer back at the cabin."

She glared at him. That was so rude!

She grumbled something bitterly, but pulled out the needle and used it to revert the castle and grounds.

“I’m sorry, Tam. Thank you, though. This was easier than I expected. Security? Lock down Tam, please.” Rebus smiled, the tower immediately shutting off teleportation within its grounds. “Ruia, as I said, I consider you a friend. I’m sure you wouldn’t object to my use of the security system. And Tam, I am truly sorry.”

Pyk gives a meaningful stare to Cade. “Soooo… what we talked about…”

Drin looks at Atlas, squats down, and then Narrates the vehicle into a special supercool physics cancelling vehicle that doesn’t require seatbelts. “So there!”

He pumps his fist. “YEA!”

“There we go! You don’t need it anymore!”

@Through The Living Glassk

“No.”

"Well, that's unfortunate. He owes me a round of Chaos cards."

“No… not at all…” 

Destroy him.

What? Never had she felt such a clear impression. 

Destroy him. He is a distraction and a threat. 

She paled, backing away from everyone. “No, no. Leave. You have to leave!”

"Yeah." he said, climbing to his feet unsteadily. "C'mon." he opened a portal, sighing with relief. Thank goodness it was working again.

". . . REBUS! WHAT THE SCUD, DUDE?!"

Hee hee hee. I literally cannot stop smiling - this has been building a long time. 
Rebus shrugged extravagantly, his sword, glowing brightly, appearing in his hand. “I can’t have you taking down Ruia. I do like you, but she’s a much better match for me. And really, this is simply an opportunity. I kept my Plotblade secret for a reason. Do you want to know what it is?”

She nodded. She held out her hand for a handshake, not knowing about her

Starlight stared, letting her learn for herself

-__- you'd better not kill Tam

She eyed the blade warily.

"No? What . . . hey, wait, I was never going to 'take down' Ruia."

Tam cocked her head.

“Shut up,” she snapped.

She stumbled toward it, but fell against him. “Sorry,@ she slurred, Patting his shoulder.

Ruia wasn’t paying attention. 

KILL THEM! 

No! No. I’m not killing ANYBODY. 

She whimpered, feeling suddenly nauseous. 

Kill him. Now. While he’s distracted.

"It's fine." he said, steadying her, and leading her through the portal back to her room.

“Beer?” She said hopefully.

"Yeah. Here, just get into your bed, and I'll go get it. It'll be a few minutes though."

"No? What . . . hey, wait, I was never going to 'take down' Ruia."

Rebus knows he can’t - turning her is better for both the story and him. 
“You were - stabbing her with that, now? Malevolence goes nova, the caverns go nova, I go nova. You’d be taking out the one piece holding up the whole balance.” Rebus sighed.

Rebus brought his attention inside him. She won’t do it. I am her successor, and I know what I need to do.

Hmmm so he wants to command the corruption? 

what

im lost 

Ruia stumbled, dizzy. Her hair was beginning to dissolve into ash. 

Kill him or die. 

No, she thought, panicked. This isn’t— this isn’t how it’s supposed to go!

[Through the Living Heir he/him]

2 minutes ago, Through The Living Glass said:

hmmmmmmm . . .

"Oh, really? I don't think so."

Rebus turned to her, and winked. “Give it one moment.” He said, allowing the utility fog to let go of her.

Well, that’s what he’s telling it, at least. 
You won’t find a new successor if you kill her.

What is his Plotblade, anyway?

She is mine. Corruption will never die. This is what I am a symbol of.

She met his eyes, looking dazed and desperate. 

I will not let go.

“Get this out of me,” she whispered. “I… I’m scared.”

Weak, more like, it taunted. Kill him.

Then, to Rebus. Heir, you say? Hah. To become me, you’d have to become her, and then eliminate her altogether.
