“Elevator? Or stairs?”

Ummmm . . . stairs.

He stood.

She walked out of the room, leading him down a large hallway to a room full of machines and other big things. "Lay down there." she said, pointing to the gurney in the middle. "Veronica will take care of you. I'm going to check on your little girlfriend"

[Through the Living Heir he/him]

Just now, Halcyon The Only said:

After a moment, he received a response. 

How much Nullite would you be asking for?

I don’t know what tone you were thinking, but in my head that was stunned silence and it sounded pretty funny. 
I don’t know - I’ve never used it. How much do you think it would take to fight a Narrator, and keep my inventions safe?

He snarled, breaking the spear in half, and attempting to skewer her again. He drew Endings, growling.

8 minutes ago, NameIess said:

Palsu leapt at the Shade from behind, seizing the rusted Plotdagger by the hilt and attempting to wrest it from the dark foe.

7 minutes ago, TwinStorm said:

The Shade grimaced, pulling it back towards him with inhuman strength.

Faunus smiled as she stood up, and surveyed the wreckage she caused.

5 minutes ago, Dragonheir said:

Ragnorok was underground, after all. Kion took the stone, and began slowly sawing through his bonds. 

She then moved over to help Kion up, seeing he was the last person down, with Palsu fighting the Shade, and Perseus helping Moni. “You okay?”

That's way funnier than what I was imaging

8 minutes ago, TwinStorm said:

He snarled, and slashed with his flaming blade towards Malevolence.

The floor underneath the man melted into liquid, pulling him downwards and causing his swing to miss. "I hope you didn't expect a fair fight." Malevolence walked casually towards the man, allowing his sword to drag along behind him, leaving a slight gash in the floor.

8 minutes ago, TwinStorm said:

He growled. "He's gone?"

"He got out somehow, in all the confusion when Faunus woke up."

8 minutes ago, TwinStorm said:

The Shade grimaced, pulling it back towards him with inhuman strength.

Palsu cursed, letting go of the Plotblade's hilt with one hand so he could smash something sharp into the Shade's arm.

6 minutes ago, Dragonheir said:

Rebus brought to mind his brief glimpse of a withergeist for Nameless to reference, then poured out Narritive energy into the difficult-to-describe sort of negative space column he’d prepared. “We don’t necessarily need to get this right the first time, and if we become truly stuck we can bribe and/or capture some rabbits.” 

I know what withergeists are like generally. I just have never had the opportunity for extensive study of one. Regardless, I will try. Nameless' eyes took on an iridescent sheen, and the Narrative energy began to warp and distort. Slowly, it began to take on an indistinct form.

He nodded and led her that way.

Aden scowled at her, rubbed his sweaty palms on his shirt, and did what she said.

Exactly.  

Fight a Narrator? That's... who are you?

You wanna skip to when they get there?

Violet left, trading places with Veronica. "Hello, Aden. Thank you for being willing to participate in our experiment"

She walked down the hallway and into another room. "Hello, Irie" she said as she opened the door

Kion stood up, a bit dazed. “I think so?”

3 minutes ago, Through The Living Glass said:

I don’t really know - I think I’m pulling most of my mental imagery from a scene is some movie where a guy tries to pay for something (maybe lunch?) using a giant gold bar.

Rebus leaned forwards, glancing at his Author (somehow) to see whether the experiment would be allowed to succeed. The energy began to swirl, shimmering and twisting, maintaining its state as Narration and not collapsing into an object.

She pulled up a chair and sat in the corner of the room. "Your best friend is really somethin. That Aden. Trading his safety for yours"

Just now, Halcyon The Only said:

"I--- I don't--- what are you gonna do to me?" 

"Just some scans, for now. Maybe some injections to prime your body. We just need to know how your body is put together in order to... modify it slightly." she said with a chuckle

A shiver ran down his spine. "What are you hoping to do to me?"

She smiled. "I think showing would be more fun than telling." she said as she began to lock his arms and legs down. She turned on the TV above him and selected a file on her computer. "For your entertainment, Starlight's procedures" she said gleefuly as the tv began to show them taking him apart and putting things in, whilst taking other things out

Her head jerked up, and she glared deathly at Violet.

"Don't you dare touch him," she growled.

Yeah ik

But hey, at least Tam and Bat are enjoying the calm

She smiled. "He's already having scans done. Starlight made a deal with us to keep Five safe, and Aden made one to keep you safe. We modify and augment them as we please, and we don't hurt either of you"

[Through the Living Heir he/him]

7 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said:

Exactly.  

Fight a Narrator? That's... who are you? 

Dr. Rebus Clarke? I guess that doesn’t really answer the question… Narrators are just alarmingly powerful, and though I haven’t really seen any hostile ones, I’m worried that any I do encounter will try to mess with me. Molecular assembly can sort of conjure things like Narrators do, so I’m just powerful enough to be a threat, but can’t actually fight back if they try to mind control me or turn me inside out.

Hmmm. You can do stuff first - Rebus has some things to set up, Tam and Bat don’t need to actually be in there for it to work, and I should go to bed.

She shot to her feet, fists clenched.

"You MONSTER!" she roared.

"HOW DARE YOU HURT HIM."

She stood, cackling. "We haven't hurt him. Not yet. Why don't you look at the TV" she said, hitting a button on a remote. The screen came to life, showing the same video playing in Aden's room. "Starlight's procedures. Aden will soon undergo the same treatment"

Aden squeezed his eyes shut.

Bat stopped before they could begin climbing the stairs.

The silence was quite a bit longer this time. 

And you're not some strange and celestial being with a vendetta against us.

Night!

Bro is literally cackling

She watched for a moment, horrified, then suddenly rushed at Violet.

I have an idea if you want to do it

Tam could just be bored and like "five minutes adventure!" kinda thing

You sound like Logan  

She hit another button and a thick plastic wall slammed down in front of her. "Not so fast. I know you wanna keep your little boyfriend safe, but there's nothing you can do now"
