Ahhhh I love that shoe  SHOW

Sorry…

Scud, she better still be here. 

Scud… he wanted to go hide. He fingered his compass. 

But he didn’t want to leave her here… but Shoe would take care of her…but he couldn’t just ditch her.

His eyes widened. "Y-y-y-you told me?" he stammered in shock. "Th-thank you, Five." he said, tears forming

"Ria?" Violet spouted, snapping her fingers to try to get her attention

She beamed, glad it seemed to mean something to him. “You’re welcome. Thanks for being nice to me.” 

She started. “Hmm? Oh, yeah. He’s been pretty protective of get this whole time. Wouldn’t let us draw her blood at first.”

He smiled as a tear rolled down his face. "Thank you" he whispered

"How protective is protective?" she whispered

"I'm trying to stay alive and stay able to act, and to have things to do. How in sync are you with the Thread?" 

"Alright. We want a city, right?"

"I do, yes. I probably could have even before the Plotblade, though it certainly makes it easier. It'd paint a target on my back, and I don't especially have any antagonistic things I want to do." 

"It is, yes. Perhaps you should be wondering that, though I do legitimately like both of you and want your help."

“Very. You want to claim Antagonist now? Before or after you find new axes of reality?”

“Okayyyyyy.”

"There's a human down that hall, I think." Cases uh paused, then looked down at Eepy in his arms, "Why do you think I should sleep?"

Her smile widened. She would have shared her hoodie if she could. 

“He threatened to kill is if we touched or hurt her.”

“Don’t humans always need sleep?”

Lol

She snatched his compass and stepped away.

"Most of them. They are bad at sleeping enough." He started down the hallway. "...Some of us are scared of sleeping, though."

“He threatened to kill is if we touched or hurt her.”

He sniffed, wiping his eyes. "Hey, do you wanna test that thing from earlier? You don't have to, but I wanted to ask." he said, holding his hand up

"Oh my gosh... That doesn't sound like him at all." she whispered

Yes, a city. Preferably one in danger from some threat. Always easier to offer power in the face of a threat.

Don't worry. I like you too, and have no intention of leaving. Nameless' blurry form smiled. Of all the new generation of Narrators I've seen, you come closest to the heights of the old.

"I... guess that's alright."

"Generally if there's an established location, vague descriptions will lead to it. I'll head to a city, and whichever crisis comes to head first will probably spill over to there." 

Rebus smiled. "You haven't seen anything yet. Especially with you both to advise me, balancing out my natural tendencies? This will be incredible."

Just now, Halcyon The Only said:

“Very. You want to claim Antagonist now? Before or after you find new axes of reality?”

"If Protagonist is claimed, I may claim Antagonist. But the axes of reality are my solution to your dilemma; finding powers that would be both more and less powerful. Narrators cannot fight ordinary people without holding back, or plot armor will be engaged and cause problems. If I can acquire more esoteric powers, I'll be less capable of turning people inside out with a thought, while at the same time have other capabilities that do not overlap with nanotech, Abstract, and Magnificent Bastard."

“Hey,” he protested weakly. 

He couldn’t stand this silence.

“Nonono don’t be scared! I will protect you and eat up all the bad sleepy demons!” She stretched her neck regally and growled at the darkness. “Rawr.”

She stiffened, but took a deep breath and carefully tapped his hand. 

Nothing happened. She beamed. “It didn’t hurt!”

“Sometimes people with similar trauma experiences bond over that trauma.”

"Oh dear," the Priest murmured. "That's not good at all."

He can't hear their thoughts, but he can feel the romance in the air. He's got a sixth sense.

How long ago was that?

asher looked up. “Wait what’s not good?”

oh greattt my family’s fighting. AGAIN!

She didn't say anything for a moment.

I . . . I'm sorry I got so angry a second ago. I know you were just trying to help . . .

She fiddled with the compass.

He smiled, more tears forming in his eyes. "I'm so happy for you!"

She shrugged. "That's true"

She tilted her head thoughtfully. 

“You’d have abilities more limited, but more free to pierce plot armor exactly because they’re clearly defined,” she translated.

Rebus showed up. "You alright, Bat?"

Never mind thought Tam had left

Cadewyn smiled at her. "Thank you"

He got to the end of the hall and opened the closet with the person in it. "And who are you?"

He shrugged, messing with the clasp on his bag. You were right.

He gasped and squeaked.

Cadewyn smiled at her. "Thank you"

He got to the end of the hall and opened the closet with the person in it. "And who are you?"

The person screamed and scrambled for a mop, hiding behind it. He cursed— it wasn’t big enough.

Cadewyn tipped his head to the side, flaring his eye brighter. "A human. Huh. What do you make of him Eepy?"

. . . I don't want you to leave.

“Why do you ask?”

He laughed and wanted to hug to celebrate,but decided against it as he didn't want to go too far

She locked eyes with Ria. "I can tell he's changed. I just wanted to know how much. Did you take scans of his mind and body?"

She eyed him. “It’s a boy,” she decided, sounding quite proud of herself. 

“How d-did you f-find me??”

I- I won’t.

Five looked out the window. The scenery had changed from tall buildings to shorter, dirtier ones.

“Of course.”

I- I won’t.

. . . Promise?
