The Scribe appears in a mist of blue.

”Hey! That… that’s not good!”

btw he ain’t using Narration to teleport, if y’all are somewhere unNarratable.

@Thee insane

@NameIess

o my NameIess

i had forgotten u spelled it like that

Pyk looked at Asher, uncomfortable. “I… I… maybe? I really don’t know.”

His breath is now noticeably faster.

Uhhh are we ignoring that.. ignoring what? his breath speed? Asher looked at pyk not seeing it. i i dont see anything. your… he’s panicking. what? No… wait… how do i help…. U… “dont worry.its chill.” She says and awkwardly pats his shoulder. then cringes at her horrible comfort skills.

Ryss pulls out a conch. "This conch? No, I hold it."

The Scribe rolls his eyes. “Not that conch. The conch. Have you never read Lord of the Flies?”

I’m not sure how to respond…

Pyks breath continued to quicken. He looked around, and, seeing a familiar thing, relaxed. They had arrived at the Salamander forest.

A person stepped out to greet them, wearing a cloak and a mask over half their face.

"Yes. I can. It's very complicated."
Legit

My relationships with my characters are complicated

 

“Then you know you have no idea what you’re doing. You’re attacking a puppet of your real Author, or you’d simply have stopped existing.” 
Yup. Rebus is the only meta character I have, but wow. He’s telling the truth, actually. I’ve caught myself rubbing my hands together like a supervillain. 
Also, we’ve kinda entered an apocalypse pileup. We should start another just because.

Hehehe the Scribe, Sain, Afterimage, and Intellect are all meta - but Afterimage and Intellect figured it out, while Drin (the Scribe) and Sain were made that way.

Neither do i… thats how i comfort people irl. Ask anyone. It normally makes them laugh which is the best i can do.

asher realized they should take their hand off his shoulder and did so mentally cursing herself. She tenses and hovered her hand over her knife. “Who are you?” She asks roughly.

"Free will is a lie. Your author is good. You have no choice but to say that."

I love my attitude

He was quiet for a long moment. 

“What would it look like to be good enough?”

I’m talking to ur character, child  

To be . . . good enough? Good enough for what?

1 hour ago, Dragonheir said:

“Did you two not follow the trial?” Rebus shook his head, bemused. 

Rebus shows up. “My Author wishes my free will was a lie. It’s funny, actually. I can talk to him in his head, though he has to imagine me first.” 

Not anymore, no.

56 minutes ago, Ancient Elantrian said:

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."

Huh?

45 minutes ago, Ancient Elantrian said:

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.

Um- what?

37 minutes ago, Ancient Elantrian said:

This is my second most powerful, the most being the OA but he's just me

He killed me

And was an author for like more than a year

Ryss catches a pair of scissors falling from the sky and cuts the strand.

I mean

He did just kill Haly

The author

I am

So confused

Oh dear you folks set another record

If anyone quoted me in there, let me know

"Okay." The Valiant One watched Rose stalk away as well. What was that all about

Subversion sighed deeply. "I... don't want to. It feels wrong, but... that's all just irrational, right? No reason to care, and all that." She pressed a hand to one side of her face. "It's just... I should've given the traveler my entire conscience, huh?" She looked up at the ennuller. "Go ahead. But... could you maybe save her memories? In case it turns out that this is all some plot where people are erased from existence in a temporary fashion?"

 

Certainly, said the ennuller calmly, leading 656 away.

"Oh yes, I saw Tull." The Dreamsmith looked around, wondering whether Onyx was in the room somewhere, or just speaking from another part of the castle. "I... wanted to speak to you. It seems you're already aware of some dangers, but... dark things are stirring in the World of Dreams. Nightmares of old rise closer to the surface than they have in any time since I've taken up my hammer."

"I don't understand these people at all." Val muttered. "But I suppose that's to be expected when Narrators are involved."

"Indeed," said Onyx with a frown, thoughtful.

On 2/8/2025 at 8:09 PM, Dragonheir said:

“Ah. I can expel my core, but my Narrationblade is still locked. If this thing proves frustrating enough to cut, I’ll resort to my Plotblade.” Rebus’s chest disintegrated, revealing a fist-sized glowing orange piece of Prismite. A second copy of him comes in though a sliding door. 

Everet blushed a bit more. “I guess you can…” 

Hmm, what should his job be?  

The orb continued suppressing its Ennulling, but couldn’t stop deleting electrons without also stopping thinking in Silence. That too would be Ennullable, luckily. 

The ennuller tore a hole in reality and stepped through the Void to the Silent Halls.

I legit have caught myself just hanging out with my characters. Like hanging out and joking and stuff. Healthy? No. Fun? Totally.

The person doesn’t seem to register that. “Come with me.”

The cloak seemed to be stained, and slight smell came from the person.

Asher glances at pyk. “Look, we dont know who the hell you are, and we have our own  journey. So if you would, leave us be. So we can continue. That’d be awesome”

Meat knows he’s in TLT, but he’s not really meta. Rebus is much more emergent.

And yes, my most powerful character has the maturity of a five-year old.
