Very.

But . . . but that . . .

Well, that couldn't be right.

We don't- we don't have agency . . .

But that didn't fit in anywhere with her understanding of how this all worked.

. . . Do we? Can- can we . . . actually choose?

-

"When we need it."

She trusted that.

She was only mildly annoyed.

A deep anger rose and crashed in him like a wave. He tried to focus on what Tam was saying. 

He shrugged. “If you want, I could do something stupid and we could see.”

-

He tried to be only mildly annoying, so it all worked out.

She very quickly and very panickedly pulled him away from the cliff.

NONONONONONONONONO. NO NOT THIS AGAIN PLEASE!

He sighed and caught her wrists.

“No. Not that. Though I guess I shoulda been a little more clear.”

“Yup.”

Five yawned and stretched.

He smiled, looking at all the boats and things. He turned to look at Five. "Morning sleepyhead" 

Okay that's the last one

Bedtime

“Where are we?”

... Glass don't be mad please I can't sleep

"Jericho." he said, wonder in his eyes. He stepped out of the vehicle and walked the dock, eying the boat with Jericho plastered on the side. He pointed upwards. "There. We need to be there"

"That boat." He said, images flashing through his mind. "I think... I think that this is home"

He nodded, taking her hand and moving up the scaffolding and onto the boat.

More images flashed, a man, walking him across the deck and peering on the horizon

"I wanna go in. I need to find the people"

“Having clones can make people rather reckless, I’ve found. I probably would have risked it too, if I knew someone had an idea for the result. Of course, I would have given a warning first.” 
Kion nodded. “It would be possible - I’d just need to think of how to do it. There might be some words that will hide from more than sight.” 

We can wait a bit for that plotline. 
Withergeists are basically scary clouds of destruction that possess can people. Xino’s blog has some information on it. 
Rebus smiled again. 

Rebus’s head fell off before the blade touched it. He fully exploded from the presumedly Narrative blast, but reassembled, whole, a few steps away. “Would you like me to stop?” 

"Yes." he snarled, hacking off his arm.

RIGHT

"Just... promise me you won't freak out." 

-

"My..." he whispered. 

She scowled. 

"Just give him back and we'll be on our way."

That was what she said, with a confident tilt of her head and that intentional intonation that implied authority, just like her parents taught her. 

She felt her knees turning to jelly. She felt her blood rushing through her veins and pounding in her ears. She felt... 

Terrified. 

And then she turned white. He knew exactly what she was thinking. Without her tattoos, she was nothing. 

It's not :D 

I'm just wondering :P 

She broke apart, then re-formed. 

"Concentration," she informed them. "It takes concentration just to stay together. Goodness, this will get tiring."

Aden felt deeply disturbed. 

Five scampered after her, but Aden hesitated. He was supposed to trust her. Every single ounce of him was screaming it. 

He'd just been resuscitated from a car crash, then watched a woman who professed to be his best friend murder the person who saved him, and now he was supposed to follow her.

Needless to say, he didn't really want to go. 

Sandlocke cocked his head, thinking, then smiled. "Well, then, show me your powers." he said confidently.

"I'll stay with you in the Nullite caverns for now. After that... I shall decide." Her hand blurred and flashed for a moment before she got a grip on her concentration again. 

Rebus nodded. “Hopefully we can make something up to leave out the Narration - related source.” 
Dr. Rebus (who was still normal Rebus, but four layers of method acting was hard to keep straight) was probably still in the elevator.

"Yes." he snarled, hacking off his arm.

“Your wish is my command.” He said, smiling as Magnificent Bastard appeared in the way of the strike. “I revealed my Plotblade, while you were gone. It was a very dramatic scene everyone ignored.”

She stood there for a minute, uncertain. Then her face hardened and she lifted her chin. 

“No.”

He was indeed. 

The elevator slowed, then stopped. It opened into a sterile, doctor looking room. 

I didn’t :P 

ignore it I mean

“Mmm,” Symbol agreed.

He took her hand and walked in, unsure what he would find. There were a lot of empty corridors, and a lot of rooms full of garbage. "Do you think I'm crazy? This could just be a wild goose chase" he whispered to Five

Dr. Rebus walked out into the room, looking around. 
He was half expecting a whole bunch of people to attack him, though. Few characters payed much attention to the events, perhaps most significantly Tam.

Actually, I’m not sure you can party the ds mimics

Def not this attack, tho

The mimic lunged forwards, grabbing him and biting him.

“It’s not that… it’s just…” He struggled for the words, ultimately unsuccessful. “I… thank you. Sorry.”

KeCil screamed, removing himself from the mimic and jumping into the hole where the mimic had been resting.

I don't know if this already sent or not

Gail stirred. 

"What---"

That was as far as she got before the ground lurched again and dropped three feet in a hundred-foot radius around them. 

Glen yelped. “WHAT?!”

O-okay. It's okay.

“I don’t think you’re crazy,” she whispered back. 

Then she looked down at her hands, crusted with brown, dried blood. 

She chuckled, disturbed.

Hmmm. Fair, fair. Though with his Plotblade— :P 

Tam didn’t seem to care much, yeah 😂 

There was nothing in it but a monitor and keyboard. Well, nothing besides a rolling cart with a pitcher of water. 

Most of yhe science team left through one of the doors. The gray haired woman remained, pouring a glass each for Dr. Rebus and his assistant. 

“How did you find us?”

Glen yelped. “WHAT?!”

Gail rubbed her head, fully awake now. “What the… we shouod get over to the edge.” 

She stood, but before she could walk, the ground dropped again. She stumbled to her knees.

Great. He’d ruined everything and derailed the conversation after all.

He sighed again. “Anyway. Sense of self. Agency.”

He laughed with her, but stopped when he saw something run by in the dark.

"What was that?"

“How did you find us?” 

“We guessed the Nullite would be here, actually. Your city is fairly well hidden, but…” Dr. Rebus chuckled, pressing his hand to his floating trolly and causing it to sprout a monitor and a few antennas. “My scanners can track things on the surface of other planets if I optimize them right, so spotting a massive cave right below me is pretty much given.”
