I could always climb out of that lil dinky computer or phone you're typing on and dispose of you if you'd prefer that. Ryss thinks at her.

"My author does not control me. I work of my own will. I am my own person."

"Too bad."

The Scribe stabs them with a golden-crystal dagger.

“Ok, but why me?”

“I gave you stuff to help! You owe me. I think you should do what that person says.”

I’m so confused 

Bat shook his head. “That’s not what I mean. Why me?”

They opened the double doors of a large hall— not a far cry from a ballroom. Arches led the way into two conjoined rooms, making a triangle of bright rooms full of colorfully dressed and distinguished-looking guests. Over by the larger, more lavish outside door, Rose stood with her father and another woman, presumably her mother, greeting guests. Rose didn’t appear to say much, though, and her parents barely acknowledged her. 

She wore a long, flowing dress the color of her namesake with makeup to match. Her hair had been braided into an exquisite crown laced with tiny white pearls. 

“We can stop here, if you like.”

His eyes widened. Why that meant so much to him, he didn’t know. 

 

Cricket blinked, gasping as he saw Rose. She looked amazing. He didn't look too bad himself, he acknowledged, in a clean and sharp suit. But Rose...

He walked over to stand by her. "Hey." he said softly. "You look nice."

Her father gave him a sharp warning glance. 

She smiled a little. “Thanks. You look very handsome.”

“They all ran away.”

"Ugh. Ok. So." he turned to Eepy, "Go look around for copies of these maps please, just in this room. Or get a good bird's eye view. You." he turned to the boy, "Tell me what this place is, who was here, who they were, who lady bug was, and what she could do, and how she turned into... This."

“She was a Narrator so she could do almost anything. She hired us to help run the preserve… I don’t know how she turned into this.” 

Eepy obeyed.

Ryss grins. His eyes begin glowing a strange black, and his body begins to separate, fading into thousands of astral versions of himself.

He reaches his hands out, and grabs the air. It ripples and shakes, and Ryss slams his hands into the ground. 

The air tears with a blinding explosion of light and a loud ethereal screaming noise. Ryss smiles, an evil, insane grin.

Ryss kicks away the dagger.

He glared daggers back at him. Whatever he did, he would not let that man get his way. 

"Is this what it's always like?" he asked curiously, looking around at the high society.

Ryss moves faster than one would be able to in normal time, running a finger along the Scribe's arm, then slamming a fist into the small of their back.

“Really? Can you feel yourself being written? Can you feel your Author’s confusion as you think of things he’d never consider? Can you become him, influencing his body language and speech patterns, fashion sense and behavior?”

“Because every Author admires you, you have potentially the most friends in the entire Thread, and you have an actual character arc.”

A black Strand raised from his back, pushing the fist back.

The Strand resists this, multiplying and enveloping the scissors. The Scribe teleports again, this time stopping time. He frowns at Ryss. So that was his name.

“Which, coincidentally, includes both of them.”

He claps his hands together like he’s a child.

”Glad we could come to an agreement!”
